Melbourne Storm Firm Favourites In NRL Round 5 Sportsbet Betting

Melbourne Storm’s incredible start to the season is tipped to continue this weekend, starting as $1.40 favourites to remain undefeated and beat the Newcastle Knights with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

The Knights will be desperate for a win as they sit just outside the top 8, however are seen as outsiders priced at $2.95.

“The Storm look in rare form at the moment. Newcastle are coming off a good win, but with the match being played in Melbourne, they look likely to continue on their winning ways,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

In what looms to be the match of the round, the Brisbane Broncos are $1.60 favourites to knock off the Dragons ($2.35) despite little separating the teams on the ladder.

“This one could really shape the top 8. Both have winning form and it is hard to split them, but we give Brisbane the edge.”

The Parramatta Eels, whom sportsbet.com.au has already paid out over $50,000 on to win the wooden spoon, look unlikely to find their first win on the season and will start as $3.65 underdogs against Manly ($1.28).
