South Sydney’s Greg Inglis is the huge Dally M mover since coach Michael Maguire shifted him to fullback.

Opening as an $81 chance Inglis had drifted to $151 after even performances in the opening 2 round losses for the Rabbits.

In what can now be viewed as a masterstroke Maguire sprang the surprise positional change in Round 3 against Penrith despite naming Inglis in his normal centre spot.

Souths blew Penrith away in the first 20 minutes on that day with Inglis leading the charge picking up maximum Dally M points.

Since that day he has also achieved the maximum against Bulldogs in Round 6 and again last night against Cronulla.

Throw in a 2 point haul in Round 8 against North Queensland and Inglis now sits on 12 Dally M points behind Melbourne Storm pair Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater on 14.

Punters are yet to latch on to Inglis with the biggest bets being $100 @ $26 on 23/3 and another $100 @ $13 taken this morning.

Some did snare the $151 with 2 small $20 wagers on 24/2 & 27/2 and $10 @ $151 on 1/3

The next couple of weeks will be lean for Inglis with Souths having the bye in this week’s Round 10 and then he will miss the Round 11 clash with St George Illawarra being on Origin duty for Queensland.

Adelaide’s Taylor Walker has emerged as a genuine contender for the Coleman medal and punters have been supporting him in numbers, with the Crows forward firming from $11 to $7.00 to win the leading goalkicker award with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Opening the season as a $26 chance, punters have been keen on Walker for the Coleman for some time, with one punter from Adelaide having $500 on him at $26 for a collect of $13,000 should he win.

This trend has continued over the last week, with Walker once again the second best backed player behind Buddy Franklin, the $3.00 favourite.

“There was a lot of early money for him when he was at long odds. Given his form, he hasn’t let those early punters down and even now he is into $7.00, the money is still coming as he seems to be the real deal this year,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Scott Pendlebury is once again outright Brownlow favourite after his best on ground performance on Friday night, into $5.00 from $7.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Sydney’s Josh Kennedy is still in the mix but is out from $7.00 to $8.00.

With speculation that Gary Ablett could be on the side line for longer than expected, he has drifted from $8.00 to $12.

“While others have been struck down with injury or form issues, Pendlebury has been consistent week in week out. He started the market as the outright favourite and at this stage he is living up to that favouritism tag,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Regardless of what Treasurer Wayne Swan announces tonight, the Federal budget looks set for a deficit according to online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au, who have priced a market that the 2012-2013 budget will be in the red by September 2013.

According to sportsbet.com.au, the budget ending in deficit is the favourite outcome at $1.40, while the chances of a surplus looks long at $2.30.

“Regardless of all the spruiking that the budget will be back in the black, we don’t see it happening,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“We expect there to be a heap of measures put in place to try and get the economy back in shape, but at the end of the day we still think the budget will be in deficit.”
