THE TEAM NEWS
WESTS TIGERS
- Wests Tigers were on the end of their most humiliating result in their history as they went down to a 74-0 defeat against North Queensland Cowboys.
- Wests were shambolic as they lost for the fourth game in succession and have been forced into making several changes for this matchup with David Nofoaluma and Brent Naden both injured while Alex Twal has copped a ban.
Starting 13: Bula, Kepaoa, To’a, Talau, Tupou, Laurie, Wakeham, Utoikamanu, Simpkin, Klemmer, Papali’i, Bateman, Pole – Interchanges: Da Silva, Blore, Seyfarth, James – Reserves: Matuma, Smith, Reilly, Tumeth, Feledy
Unavailable: Adam Doueihi (Injured), Charlie Staines (Injured), Luke Brooks (Injured), Api Koroisau (Injured), David Nofoaluma (Injured), Brent Naden (Injured), Alex Twal (Suspended)
CRONULLA SHARKS
- Cronulla Sharks made it back-to-back wins as their attacking prowess was on show once again, running in 52 points against rivals St. George Illawarra Dragons.
- That is now 100 points scored in their last two outings and they will be confident of further success here despite losing Dale Finucane to suspension while Braden Hamlin-Uele is out through injury.
Starting 13: Kennedy, Katoa, Ramien, Talakai, Mulitalo, Moylan, Hynes, Kaufusi, Brailey, Rudolf, Nikora, Wilton, McInnes – Interchanges: Williams, Graham, Colquhoun, Hazelton – Reserves: Tracey, Trindall, Hau Tapuha, Hiroti, Berrell
Unavailable: Kade Dykes (Injured), Royce Hunt (Injured), Braden Hamlin-Uele (Injured), Dale Finucane (Suspended)
THE PREDICTION
Wests Tigers’ season hit a new low as they were embarrassed by North Queensland Cowboys last week. They were beaten by a club-record score, going down 74-0 and that will be tough for them to respond to. They have lost their last four and now sit at the foot of the ladder on points difference. That total could be worsened here as they take on a Cronulla Sharks side that have posted triple figures across their last two games and they have to be fancied to cover the -16 handicap in this one.
