So far $82,000 has come for the Dragons both with the -3.5 start (-4.5 in some books), and straight up at SportsTAB.

Jake, heard this morning that on sportstab yesterday that there was $90,000 on the dragons H2H and HCP, while $700 went on the storm, mainly because the rumour is SCOTT HILL wont play.

Hi Goldmember,

Something's going on... a few bookies have just suspended betting on the Dragons vs Storm came. Maybe Slater or Orford are injured? See if I can find out. Didn't think Scott Hill could move that much money!

OK, looks like it's just Scott Hill. Someone must have a direct line to the team doctor.

I think that the storms ordinary form away from home plus hill going to be out would move that much money,bookies would normally suspend prices for a short time when that happens.Their away form this year is well below what it should be, losing to the warriors, souths, w/tigers and struggled to beat the eels, so stgeorge would be a lot harder to beat than them. If the storm had good form away from home i would say they were good things but there average so i think the dragons should win by 8-10 pts
