Wests Tigers vs Dolphins Preview

The first dead-rubber game of season 2023 in terms of the Top 8, though Wests Tigers will still have designs on potentially offloading the wooden spoon over the last three rounds. The first step to achieving that would be taking out their maiden clash with the Dolphins.

The Tigers are on a 10-match losing streak but have found some backbone in recent weeks, giving Souths a push, almost snatching victory at the death against Canberra and causing the Warriors plenty of problems.

Daine Laurie was brilliant at five-eighth in the 30-22 defeat to the Warriors, scoring a try and laying on their other three.

The Dolphins have faded from Top 8 view with eight losses from their last nine matches, following up heart-breakers against the Bulldogs (23-22) and Knights (30-28) with a 30-14 loss to the Roosters impacted by injuries and a controversial sin-binning.

Compounding the Dolphins’ woes, Connelly Lemuelu, Kenny Bromwich, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Jeremy Marshall-King and Ray Stone are all out, and Valynce Te Whare has been dropped to the reserves.

Jack Bostock and Robert Jennings are the new centres, Harrison Graham will play hooker, Euan Atiken comes back from a knee injury as a second-rower and JJ Collins joins the bench.

This one’s at CommBank Stadium, where the Tigers have a 4-11 record as the home team. The Dolphins have lost their last six interstate and it’s hard to make a case for a badly depleted side getting up here – but they’re getting a hefty 9.5 points at the line.
