Brisbane's first-up win over the Cowboys last weekend
obviously failed to impress one big better who on Wednesday
tossed $A100,000 on the Broncos to miss the top eight.
Brisbane have made the finals for the past 18 seasons
straight but the NSW punter claimed TAB Sportsbet for
$A100,000 to $A80,000 (odds of $A1.80) about Ivan Henjak's
men missing the finals this year.
It's the biggest bet ever placed on Brisbane to miss to top
eight so early in the season.
"He's a regular rugby league punter," said TAB Sportsbet's
Glenn Munsie, adding the Broncos were one of the least
supported to teams to win the premiership at $A21.
With three debutants and no Karmichael Hunt, Brisbane beat
North Queensland 30-24 after racing to a 24-0 lead early in
the first half.
But Munsie said they were $A2.10 outsiders to beat Canberra
in Canberra on Monday night.
In strange week of game betting, five winners from last
week's first round are getting a start this weekend.
The last time Henjak took the Broncos to the capital they
were embarrassed 56-0, something Brisbane's players will be
reminded off regularly before Monday night's clash.
