Yes.

- New Team
- No gelling of the side
- No form to base team on


I'm actually suprised they have better odds then the Raiders tbh.

[titans_4_premiers]

yea i agree but not 3rd last maybe 5th or 6th last but 3rd last for me is just too low.

[Gonzalez]

The Titans have no form to be based on, and improvements cant even be judged because it is their first season. IMO they should have the worst odds.

I like the raiders odds :D

I like the raiders odds :D
I'll be putting money on the Raiders making the 8.

Well if its any consolation, they're not 3rd last favorites. They're actually on equal second last favorites at $34 with Souths. If the Raiders weren't in the comp they'd be backed in for the spoon.

Do the Titans deserve it? Who knows. We'll find out in about 26 weeks time. Really what the bookies say a week out from kick off doesn't mean a thing as to your actual season ahead, and if they string together a few wins, the odds will change and see them in a better position. But like Gonzalez says, the bookies to don't have much to run on other than likely line ups.

Thats the idea, mate :D

To be fair: Probably yes. Not because the franchise will be a failure, but because it's our first year and good combinations within the team will take time.

Gold Coast Titans 34.00


Hey, I'll take those odds!

[Future Star]

Imo, they don't deserve to be 2nd last favourites.

They deserve to be Last Favourite period.

I'm all for putting money on the teams which are rated last. The table never finishes up anywhere near what's predicted. Sure, maybe not to win, but good money still for making the 8.
