Alright, buckle up as we're about to delve into the drama that is the volatile confrontation of Wests Tigers vs New Zealand Warriors.
The history between these two teams just keeps throwing curveballs. In the last four matches, the Warriors have come out on top thrice. That's enough to make you want to place all your bets on the Warriors, right? But hold your horses - let's not be so hasty.
Yes, they're riding high off two recent victories over Sydney Roosters and Manly Sea Eagles. However, their loss to the Canberra Raiders on Mar 2, 2025, should still be fresh in memory.
Looking across the pitch, it's not exactly smooth sailing for the Wests Tigers either. Some could question the win against the Dolphins. They might have sunk the Eels, but the Newcastle Knights caught them napping.
Peeking at the current standings, the Tigers are perched a smidge higher at #8, with their opposition in hot pursuit at #10. They're both coming at this with a 2-wins and 1-loss record this season - neck and neck indeed!
It's a tricky situation, like trying to pick your favorite child. But remember, every champion was once a contender who refused to give up. Using the magical power of divination and taking into account the whims of fortune, my money's on the Wests Tigers.
