With only 4 teams left in the NRL competition we are right down to the business end of the season and it's no surprise to me that Manly has finally come into favourtism. They've been under the radar for a while now, but the market has woken up to the threat and got the price right at 2.76 for them to win the competition. Of course they've been helped by the fact that Broncos knocked out the Dragons and then have had Lockyer pull out of the next match, but with the sort of high-intensity football we see in finals you have to expect that injuries can (and will) happen. That's why I was very happy to leave my big fat green on Manly during thier week off and have now seen them shorten from 4.30 to 2.76 without them even having to take the field ! [:laugh:] Yet this *IS* a finals series...
