Melbourne has stormed into outright $5.00 NRL favouritism on Centrebet after putting the cleaners through Canberra last night, and has opened a $1.62 fancy to put away the Bulldogs ($2.30) in the headline clash of round 11!

But Centrebet media chief Neil Evans was in no doubt punters will find the Bulldogs’ price attractive! “They have shown a real 80-minute resilience this season, and are obviously still smarting from the video refereeing drama that cost them victory in the battle with the Dragons last week,” Evans said. “I expect the Bulldogs to shorten up, despite the Storm’s ruthless form over the last fortnight!”

Melbourne has broken free of the Broncos ($6.00) for the first time in premiership betting this season, while the Dragons have eased out to the third line at $7.00! Embattled Manly continues to edge back into the market, and is being kept safe at $11.00, alongside the Knights and the Cowboys!

Meanwhile, despite a woeful first third of the season, the Sharks are given some hope in the local derby against the Dragons ($1.42) opening a $2.85 outsider, while despite the embarrassment of last night’s belting, Canberra is a $1.85 fancy back at home to beat NZ Warriors ($1.95)!

The other big betting move may come for the Newcastle Knights who have opened a $2.15 outsider away to the rejuvenated Cowboys ($1.70)!
