Brisbane has firmed dramatically in premiership betting following their impressive 24-16 win over the Roosters tonight at the Sydney Football Stadium.

The Broncos were listed on the 3rd line of betting at $6.50 but now find themselves at $4.50.

The Broncos survived a first-half onslaught from a fired up Roosters outfit and overturned an eight-point halftime deficit to seal the win.

The Sydney Roosters have drifted in betting, out from $15 to $21 following the loss.

Melbourne hold top spot in betting but have drifted marginally from $1.75 to $1.85

Greg Tingle comment

I hear that the Broncos are also in talks with EzyBet, the firm behind the Gold Coast Titan's recent off field jackpot, TitansBet. As News Corp boss Murdoch says, 'Big will not beat small anymore, it will be the fast beating the slow'. The NRL clubs have cottoned on, and it's also starting to make for a WWE - WCW circa 02 scenario where some healthy competition saw some win win outcomes. Just imagine the strategy going on in NRL and AFL boardrooms at the moment. Bet on it. Nine and Fox want in.
