On closer inspection, the $4.10 for the Storm wasn't heavyily loaded so I took it myself.
So now it looks like this:

The following is a media release from Sportingbet:

Punters have launched at the West Tigers following their seventh straight win last night with Sportingbet Australia shortening them to joint second favourites for the NRL Premiership at $5.50

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said with injuries, suspensions and a lack of form hurting the chances of a number of their rivals, punters had identified the Tigers as a team with momentum at the right time of the season.

“The Tigers were $26 bolters for the Premiership in mid July but their winning streak has put them right back into Premiership contention,” Sullivan said.

“We posted the Tigers at $6.00 this morning but we were instantly claimed for a bet of $25,000 to $5000 and the money has kept coming even after we turned them into $5.50.

“They should beat the Sharks this weekend which sees them get a top four spot which will be a big advantage if the Warriors or Cowboys finish fifth.”

Sullivan said Manly had been the big drifter following injuries and suspensions out of Friday night’s clash with Melbourne.

“Manly have drifted from $4.50 to $5.50 and we haven’t written a decent bet on them since Friday,” he said.

“Melbourne remain $3.50 favourites while there has also been some support for the Broncos at $5.50 who are joint second picks with Manly and the Tigers.”

Wow. Once again, the odds were not as close.

Lucky for me I didn't place any bets on this.
