NRL - OFFICIAL PLAY

ATS - TIGERS -4.5 (x1.5)

The Tigers failed to impress in their opener against the Bulldogs last Monday night but I feel they will turn up for their first match at home this season. Benji was off his game although did produce one of the tries of the year! He will be dirty on himself and be keen to put a better showing on Saturday night. The Warriors were awful! never looked like winning, so many handling errors and silly penalties. It wont get any easier here at Leichardt. This ground has been a fortress for the Tigers. They simply never loss here. Their last loss was rd 13 2009! The Warriors will go into this game without Maloney, Fisiiahi and the Beast Vatuvei! While Manu plays on the wing his will be deeply missed. he is so often their go to guy and he gets the team up. An interesting stat, the Warriors have lost 5 of the last 6 matches without their international rep winger. I just don't see how they recover from last week and these loses against a quality outfit in the Tigers. In the last meeting between these two sides it was a Tigers victory, 50 - 6! I expect the Tigers to win well!
