Preview:
A second consecutive win this week for the Tigers could throw the entire ladder into chaos as Wests chases a last-minute spot inside the top eight.
The Tigers made a serious finals case last week belting the Knights by 42-points. It was by far the most unexpected result of the round, especially considering David Nofoaluma crossed the line for a hat-trick of tries.
St. George are far from easy beats, but they looked a shell of their former selves last week at home to the Roosters. Like so many others, the Dragons trailed 28-0 at half time, managing to save themselves from a shutout with a pair of tries in the second half.
Given how much is at stake for the Tigers this week, you’d expect Wests to come out firing at the SCG on Sunday afternoon.
Wests can win this game easily if they channel the aggression they showed last week while also hitting the scoreboard early.
The Tigers are 5-4 as the line favourite this season, and it’s also worth noting the last three Dragons home games against the Tigers have also gone Under the Total.
Tip: Wests Tigers at $1.72
Value Tip: First Try Scorer: Robert Jennings at $9.00
