Wests Tigers vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
The Tigers have won back-to-back wooden spoons and were abhorrent in patches last week but they are a good bet getting a huge start at home to the Sharks. Big early season home underdogs cover at 65% and Cronulla, while being good defensively, have hardly set the world on fire with their attack. Benji Marshall has made some positive team changes and rookie Lachlan Galvin looks like a super player.This is a critical game for the Tigers and they can dig in at Leichhardt, where the underdog has covered seven of the last nine meetings.
Teig Wilton has 13 tries in 39 NRL starts including last week. He has scored in five of his last 12 games. Ronaldo Mulitalo has failed to scored in just seven of his last 25 games. Justin Olam debuts for the Tigers and is their top attacking weapon. He has three tries in six games against the Sharks.
