Rugby league is back punters and there has been plenty of early action in betting for the Auckland 9s.
The Warriors are $3.80 favourites in tournament betting and it isnt hard to see why with the likes of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Konrad Hurrell and Shaun Johnson leading their attack.
The Warriors look good things to win the Hanau group with Manly ($14), Brisbane ($19) and the under strength Bulldogs ($51) all outsiders to win the tournament.
The Cowboys have been the best backed team to win Auckland 9s with the defending NRL Premiers naming nearly a full strength side with the notable exception of Jonathan Thurston.
The Cowboys opened $15 in betting but punters rushed to backed them and after naming a strong side are now into $6.00 at Bluebet.
Other teams that look to have picked strong teams and could be a chance at some value are Cronulla at $11 and the Knights at $17.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has clearly been the best backed in top tryscorer betting at $13.
Parramatta flyer is favourite to be top tryscorer at $11 while RTSs teammates, Solomone Kata ($12) and Konrad Hurrell ($14) are also well in the market.
