Wests Tigers vs New Zealand Warriors Preview
We’re faced with almost even money on Friday night between the Tigers and Warriors from Suncorp.
It would take something very special for either of these two sides to make the finals from here, while recent injury woes have only made things tougher from a betting perspective.
After Roger Tuivasa-Scheck announced his farewell on Monday, the Warriors are still feeling the pinch of Tohu Harris and David Fusitu’a’s absence, but there could be some reprieve on the horizon with Peta Hiku and Chanel Harris-Tavita a chance at returning this week.
The Tigers, on the other hand, were dealt a potential blow with Luke Garner suffering an ankle injury in the loss to Manly, but the potential inclusion of James Roberts is a plus.
On paper, this game is tough to get excited about, while it’s also hard to feel overly confident when it comes to the head-to-head market.
The Warriors won a 30-26 thriller when they last met the Tigers in May, but more importantly, it’s worth noting the last three meetings between these two have all gone Over the Total.
With both teams ranking top five in points allowed, a similar story looks likely to unfold.
