The Cowboys took out the inaugural Auckland Nines
The Auckland Nines are back next January and once again the home side will be the team to beat with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au installing the Warriors $4.50 favourites to take out the action-packed tournament.
The Warriors have drawn the Tigers ($11), Titans ($13) and Raiders ($26) in their pool.
Defending champions North Queensland are on the second line of betting at $8.00 alongside the Knights, while the Eels have opened as a $10 chance.
With Des Hasler expected to rest his top players like he did this year, the Bulldogs are the rank outsiders at $31.
“The Warriors went into the inaugural Nines as favourites and dominated the tournament until their slip-up in the semi-final. With home ground advantage, size, mobility and speed, they’re ready made for the shortened format of the game,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
