THE TEAM NEWS

WESTS TIGERS

  • Wests Tigers fell short in their quest to make it three straight wins as they succumbed to defeat against the Dolphins last week but they will view this as a chance to bounce straight back.
  • The Tigers were fairly competitive in that game against the high-flying Dolphins but must now deal with the loss of John Bateman, Samuela Fainu and Latu Fainu.

Starting 13: 1. Jahream Bula 2. Charlie Staines 3. Solomona Faataape 4. Justin Olam 5. Junior Tupou 6. Jayden Sullivan 7. Aidan Sezer 8. Stefano Utoikamanu 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. David Klemmer 11.

ST. GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS

  • St. George Illawarra Dragons suffered a third loss in their last four matches as they were beaten by Newcastle Knights last week as they failed to deal with the conditions.
  • Tyrell Sloan was shifted to the wing at half-time in that game after he made several errors but has been trusted in the fullback role once again for this matchup while Hame Sele is back from a calf injury.

Starting 13: 1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Zac Lomax 3. Moses Suli 4. Jack Bird 5. Mikaele Ravalawa 6. Kyle Flanagan 7. Ben Hunt 8. Francis Molo 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Hame Sele 11. Luciano Leilua 12.

THE PREDICTION

Wests Tigers will feel that they have had a successful start to the new season if they can get the better of St. George Illawarra Dragons. Both teams have won two of their games so far but will be eager to get the better of one another here as they aim to put some consistent performances together. There is little to split the pair and it could be a tight affair but Wests have shown more in their games to date and are the slight preference in this one.

TIP: WESTS TIGERS TO WIN
