Manly favourites to beat Storm in MNF

by NRL

ManMel ($1.85) has opened favourites for their clash with Melbourne ($1.95) on Monday night at Brookvale Oval.

Melbourne ($3.25) has been outright favourites for the premiership since round 4. A victory will give them a tight hold on the minor premiership; they are currently $1.22.

Newcastle is now $5 to finish the season with the most losses. They were $151 after they beat Penrith in round 8, but have since lost five straight games. Newcastle will welcome the bye this week before hosting the Tigers on Monday night in round 16.

Parramatta ($1.90) is favourite for 'most losses' ahead of Penrith $4.
