Grand Final Week Summary Notes
Additional bets (and reasoning to follow)
5u Panthers to win GF $2.00
Player of the Match (Clive Churchill Medal)
3u Jahrome Hughes $5.00
3.1u Nathan Cleary $4.80
For season long subscribers who have followed all bets, we will place an additional bet on the Panthers to win the GF to balance the ledger / book for the Grand Final + Finals + Futures result.
This will then mean either can win on Sunday, and
Storm win = 9.25u profit on GF
Panthers win = 6.7u profit on GF
Grand Final + Finals + Futures result:
Storm win = 51.3u profit
Panthers win = 49.8u profit
So additional bet is
5u Panthers to win GF $2.00
Grand Final – my personal view is that Storm win on Sunday, and will be my tip and betting play for any preview, radio or podcast
Both teams have played the same two opponents through the finals series, my view is the Storm have had tougher stronger form games and come through each stronger to the end (second half).
Suspect Panthers are a slight level behind the Storm, one is peaking for a GF appearance and win while for the Panthers they are nothing but class but now into a 5th straight GF with a strong line up but arguably the weakest of the last 5 years. Ivan is a master of big game motivation but think the Storm as they have the last two games get stronger as the game gets longer.
So tip is Storm to win, if it was a one out week I’d be betting the Storm, but to hedge the book and square the overall return result with either winner am placing a bet on Panthers.
