It’s not only a grudge match between the Bulldogs and Manly this Friday night but a battle of the NRL’s gun fullbacks and despite rumours Brett Stewart being a Belmore target online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is backing Canterbury’s incumbent Ben Barba to come out on top.

Barba is favourite to gain the most metres of the two and score the most tries while Stewart is priced at $1.50 to Barba’s $2.50 to make the most tackles.

“While it’s all rumour right now, Ben Barba will want to put in a blinder to show a few people he’s just as good as Brett Stewart,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Manly are currently the $1.75 favourite in match betting but the Bulldogs, the $2.08 outsiders, have attracted 85% of money wagered on the match so far.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is tipping that several Manly Sea Eagles players will leave the Northern beaches of Sydney and join old mentor Des Hasler at the Canterbury Bulldogs next season.

One Manly player signing for the Bulldogs for 2013 has been priced as the $2.00 favourite but only narrowly ahead of two players at $2.50 with three players at $6.00.

“Who wouldn’t want to have the likes of Kieran Foran, Tony Williams and Brett Stewart at their club?” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“With Des at the Bulldogs and plenty of current players off contract, we feel several of Manly’s players will head to Belmore next season.”

No players leaving Manly for Canterbury has been priced at $8.00 while five or more is the $26 outsider in the market.

PENDLEBURY NEW BROWNLOW FAV AFTER ABLETT INJURY

Gary Ablett’s chances of winning a second Brownlow Medal have taken a hit on the back of his knee injury, out from $5.00 to $8.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Collingwood star Scott Pendlebury has once again moved to outright favourite, in from $12 to $7.00.

Marc Murphy has held firm at $8.00, while Chris Judd and Sam Mitchell have firmed to $9.00 each from $10 and $12 respectively.

“Gaz will be out for a couple of weeks which will hurt his chances, but we think he already has a few best on grounds to his name so he will still be in contention,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Sydney’s Josh Kennedy continues to emerge as a real contender, into $12 after opening at $251.

Just over a month ago the Brumbies were priced at $13.25 to win the Australian Conference this season but have firmed into outright favourite with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

The Brumbies head the betting at $2.63, narrowly ahead of the NSW Waratahs at $2.64 with the Reds next at $3.08.

“The Brumbies have been the big movers and have attracted plenty of interest over the last few weeks but so have the Waratahs,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“It’s almost even between the Brumbies and Waratahs in terms of money but there has been a swing towards the Brumbies in the last month.”

The Western Force ($70) and Rebels ($101) continue to go in the opposite direction to the Brumbies.

St. George speedster Brett Morris has blasted into serious contention to be New South Wales fullback in Game 1 of the 2012 State of Origin series, shortening from $26 into $4.50 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

After his excellent run of form, Morris has been the best backed candidate in sportsbet.com.au’s market, attracting 70% of all bets.

Canberra’s Josh Dugan remains favourite despite easing out to $1.80 while Jarryd Hayne has been the biggest drifter in the market, out to $4.50 after being opened at $2.65. Brett Stewart is also a shot, firming from $5.50 into $4.50.

“Josh Dugan remains favourite but if the decision was left to the punters it would be a forgone conclusion. Brett Morris would be wearing the number 1 jersey for the Blues in game one,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

Any other player has firmed from $26 into $15.
