Wests Tigers
Tend to fade - conceding 6.2 more points than they score in second halves.
Out of sorts - on a 5-game losing run.
Poor travellers - only 2-6 away from home.
Leaky at the back - shipping 28.7 points a game.
💬 FormPicks Commentary
Raiders are the clear pick here. They're red-hot on a three-game winning streak, playing at home in fine conditions, and have shown real composure in close contests, winning three of their last five games decided by six points or less. Wests Tigers arrive in poor shape, mired in a five-game losing run and struggling badly away from home with a 2-6 record on the road, while also leaking 28.7 points a game. The one thing to watch is that Raiders' second-half fade - they're conceding 5.6 more points than they score after the break - so if the Tigers stay within range at half-time, they could still threaten late.
