Please see below the CrownBet prices for the two matches in Week 2 of the NRL Finals and some commentary around the betting.
| HEAD TO HEAD | LINE | |
| Sydney Roosters | $1.40 (out from $1.38) | 1.94 (-7.5) (in from -8.5) |
| Canterbury Bulldogs | $3.05 (in from $3.15) | 1.90 (+7.5) |
With the news star half Mitchell Pearce will not return for the year, all the money has been for the Doggies. However, prior to this news all the early money was for the Chooks . There are now rumours that there’s a flu in the Doggies camp and whilst no players are expected to miss out, we are tipping there will be a late flurry of coin for the Roosters. The Roosters are the favourites at $1.40, with the Bulldogs at $3.05.
| HEAD TO HEAD | LINE | |
| North Queensland Cowboys | $1.38 (steady) | 1.92 (-8.0) (out from -7.5) |
| Cronulla Sharks | $3.15 (steady) | 1.92 (+8.0) |
The market opened at -7.5 but quickly went to flat -8.0 and been steady there all week. So far there has not been much love for the Sharks and if both teams play to the calibre they did last week then the Cowboys should cover comfortably. Cowboys are heavy favourites at $1.38, with the Sharks at $3.15
