Wests Tigers team news
The visitors are missing a notable name as a shoulder injury rules out Taylan May, which has to be seen as a tough break for Wests Tigers.
Squad: Jahream Bula, Sunia Turuva, Jeral Skelton, Heamasi Makasini, Luke Laulilii, Jarome Luai, Adam Doueihi, Terrell May, Apisai Koroisau, Fonua Pole, Samuela Fainu, Kai Pearce-Paul, Alex Twal, Jock Madden, Sione Fainu, Royce Hunt, Alex Seyfarth, Tristan Hope, Patrick Herbert, Bunty Afoa, Faaletino Tavana, Tony Sukkar
South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Wests Tigers prediction
Wests Tigers made the most of their extra week’s preparation for the new campaign and blew away the North Queensland Cowboys from an attacking perspective, winning 44-16. Now they head on the road to South Sydney Rabbitohs, who’ve given 56 points so far after two games and have at times looked extremely vulnerable defensively.
This is a real opportunity for Wests Tigers to make a big statement and it would be no surprise to see them come out of the blocks extremely quickly and catch the Rabbitohs cold. If Wests Tigers are on their game offensively, they stand a big chance of winning and backing them to edge out the hosts may wind up a shrewd move.
