Wests Tigers vs Dolphins prediction
After responding excellently to getting nilled by table toppers Penrith Panthers by defeating Gold Coast Titans last Sunday, this is a real chance for Wests Tigers to follow that up with another positive result against what is a significantly depleted Dolphins. Not having a player of Isaiya Katoa’s quality on deck is a real big miss and that should be reflected in what we see from the visitors on the pitch.
Wests Tigers were hugely impressive vs the Titans, playing hard throughout and throwing punch after punch offensively. It’s hard to see this Dolphins backline shackling them and with their absentees, it’s worth backing the home side to come away with this one having secured back-to-back wins.
