Tigers vs Warriors Odds

They might be coming into this with only one win in their last four matches, but the Wahs are clear favourites and rightly so.

Andrew Webster’s side are 2/5 for the victory in 80 minutes, implying a 71.4% probability. It’s 11/5 about the Tigers collected just a third win in 10 attempts.

You can back the draw at 14/1.

Team News

Jarome Luai returns for Wests after concussion protocols ruled him out of the defeat to the bottom-of-the-table Dragons, but Apisai Koroisau misses out with a pec injury so Josese Lanyon starts.

Jock Madden misses out to allow for Luai’s inclusion in the halves, while Sanuela Fainu comes into the second row after a foot issue. That sees Tony Sukkar drop to the bench.

Rugby League Odds

For the Warriors, Mitch Barnett and Kurt Capewell are among the reserves after representing New South Wales and Queensland respectively in the Blues’ Origin decider win on Wednesday.

Dallin Watene-Zelezniak’s hamstring issue means he’s also out of the matchday squad, so Lofi Khan-Pereira comes in on the wing. James Fisher-Harris and Leka Halasima replace Barnett and Capewell, with Halasima having shaken off a hamstring injury.

Warriors by 13+ @ 6/5

There’s just no world in which the Tigers should be a serious challenge for the Warriors on Friday, but that’s the beauty of this sport.

Wests need to seriously put in a performance for their fans, who seemed earlier on in the season to be ready for a decent tilt at the Finals. Instead, they’re back at the familiar end of the ladder.

The Warriors might not be in the greatest form, but they have far too much quality in their ranks for the Tigers to handle. And that should lead them to a fairly comfortable success at Campbelltown.
