Wests Tigers vs Melbourne Storm Preview
It looks likely to be a mismatch when Wests Tigers host the Melbourne Storm on Saturday night.
It has been ten years since the Tigers have made a finals series, while it has been twenty since the Storm have missed one! Craig Bellamy’s men take a familiar look, shape and winning mentality into the new season, and they will almost certainly finish in the top four yet again.
The Tigers meanwhile really need to do something this season if coach Michael Maguire and their core group of players are to survive, and it’s tough imagining them taking anything from this week 1 clash.
