Sam Burgess sat Sonny Bill Williams on his backside in round one and the pair will face-off in Friday night’s blockbuster and to celebrate online bookmaker Sportsbet has opened a raft of markets pitting the two against each other.
And it’s the Bunnies’ enforcer who looks to have SBW covered, favourite to make more tackles, run the most metres, score the most tries and score the first try between the pair.
It’s an even money bet for who’ll tally the most super coach points. Souths remain $1.60 favourites for the clash, with the Roosters at $2.30.
“He tried to get Beau Ryan, a little winger a few weeks ago. Will Sonny run at Sam Burgess with the same zest? He’ll be reminded about round one all week so it’s a safe bet to say he will,” sportbets Ben Hawes said.
