Wests Tigers vs New Zealand Warriors prediction
New Zealand Warriors have a big opportunity to put a win on the board here against a Wests Tigers side with a negative record, losing nine and winning seven of their NRL fixtures so far this season. The Warriors meanwhile, have lost only five league matches and only table toppers Penrith Panthers boast a higher points-difference.
New Zealand Warriors are a stronger team across the board when you assess both squads and the return of Fisher-Harris is a big boost for them. They’ll be expected to have the better of play against the Tigers and it would be a surprise if Andrew Webster’s side were to slip up in this one.
