It’s the Grand Final that’s too close to call. With only two points separating the Bulldogs and the Storm at the end of the regular season, it’s little surprise that it’s the Storm and not Minor Premiership winning Bulldogs who enjoy slight favouritism with the bookies.
Melbourne Storm – ($1.80)
Canterbury Bulldogs – ($2)
Churchill Medal
Cooper Cronk [MEL] ($6.00)
Cameron Smith [MEL] ($6.00)

I haven’t seen a single game of Rugby League this year but I can tell you without a doubt in my mind that the Bulldogs will win (or not, I have no idea) by a really narrow margin of two, because they were the minor premiers and they have that guy Ben Barba- not to be confused with Justin Bartha or the Demon Barber of Fleet St – who will absolutely win man of the match. I’ve obviously come to make all of these highly informed decisions on my own and have not just glanced at the newspaper next to me. That being said, there is also a person called Cameron Smith who is also very good at running and handling balls. You’re welcome!
