Two other big movers have been Cowboys fullback Matt Bowen, who’s firmed from $26 into $9.00 and Bronco Peter Wallace, into $11 from $34.

“Greg Inglis and Billy Slater remain the best backed players at this point but we saw a flurry of action around Barba on Monday night and Tuesday morning,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
