- Location: Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Sydney
Game Overview
The Wests Tigers, currently on a two-win streak, face the New Zealand Warriors, who have also bounced back with consecutive victories. The Warriors have dominated recent head-to-heads, winning seven straight against the Tigers. However, the Tigers are looking to extend their winning run for the first time since 2018.
Key Factors to Consider
- The Wests Tigers boast a strong defensive record this season, leading the NRL in defense. Meanwhile, the Warriors have excelled in set completion, posting an impressive 85% success rate.
- The Warriors hold a significant advantage in recent head-to-heads, having won their last seven matches against the Wests Tigers. However, the Tigers have historically performed well at Campbelltown, albeit with mixed success.
- Jahream Bula, who had an early scare, is available for the Tigers. However, Jeral Skelton's injury status is uncertain. The Warriors are without Roger Tuivasa-Sheck due to a hamstring injury, with Adam Pompey shifting to the wing and Rocco Berry taking the centre position.
- Both teams face different challenges with the Warriors playing their first Australian game of the season and needing to overcome their poor 2024 away record in Australia.
- Both teams are motivated by their current winning streaks and the desire to continue building momentum. The Warriors seek to extend their dominance over the Tigers, while the Tigers aim to break a long drought without three consecutive wins.
