Wests Tigers vs Cronulla Sharks Preview

The Tigers, despite their recent struggles and patchy performance last week, present a compelling betting opportunity with a significant home advantage against the Sharks.

Early-season home underdogs have historically covered the spread 65% of the time, and Cronulla’s lackluster attack doesn’t inspire confidence.

Under the stewardship of Benji Marshall, the Tigers have undergone positive changes, with rookie Lachlan Galvin showing promise.

This matchup holds critical importance for the Tigers, who historically perform well at Leichhardt Oval, where underdogs have covered in seven of the last nine meetings.

Teig Wilton boasts a respectable try-scoring record, finding the try line in five of his last 12 games.

Ronaldo Mulitalo’s consistent scoring threat, with just seven scoreless appearances in his last 25 games, adds to Cronulla’s offensive arsenal.

Justin Olam’s debut for the Tigers adds an extra dimension to their attack, especially considering his past success against the Sharks, with three tries in six games.
