Wests Tigers vs Melbourne Storm Preview
Saturday night’s game sees the Tigers take on the Storm in Campbell and potentially, it could be a good game.
It could also be, and is more likely to be, a thrashing.
The Storm were awful against the Cowboys a couple of weeks ago, but the spray(s) they clearly suffered from Craig Bellamy did the trick, and they turned it around in a big way against the Sharks in Round 15.
They’re without Origin players this week, but their bottom line is usually still better than a side like the Tigers.
The Tigers would have been without captain Api Koroisau in this game regardless, but his broken jaw and impending two months on the sideline is going to hurt.
With Stefano Utoikamanu’s shock Origin selection also a thing, the Tigers are going to lack a lot of go-forward, and I can see it being a real problem, particularly when they are gassed in the second half.
