NEW premier the Wests Tigers has been listed as joint fifth favourite in early 2006 NRL betting markets.
Beaten preliminary finalist St George Illawarra ($4.50) and Parramatta ($6) have been installed as the top two favourites in Centrebet's 2006 NRL market.
The Sydney Roosters, which crashed to ninth this year after playing in four of the last five grand finals, is third at $8 with this year's runners-up North Queensland Cowboys at $10.
Alongside the Tigers at $11 are Brisbane, the Bulldogs, and wooden-spooner Newcastle.
Penrith is $17 to win the premiership, with the Sharks, Manly and South Sydney $21, Melbourne $26, New Zealand Warriors $34 and Canberra Raiders the rank-outsider at $51.
