After losses to the Titans and Roosters in rounds 8 and 9 respectively, in which they only crossed for one try in each game, the Tigers returned to the winner’s list with a narrow victory over the Sharks 22 – 20, their sixth win of the season.

It wasn’t a pretty win by the Tigers who after leading 10 – 2 in the first half, were trailing 18 – 10 early in the second and it was only two quick tries to Corey Paterson and Chris Lawrence that had the Tigers with their nose in front with twenty minutes to play.

In a scrappy final quarter, they were able to hold on as the Sharks were their own worst enemy.

The win now see the Tigers sixth on the ladder and with a win this weekend, followed by a bye in Round 12, they could find themselves higher up still in a fortnight’s time.

They Tigers will be without Robbie Farah and Prop forward Aaron Woods who are both in the NSW Origin side and whilst both players will obviously be missed, they are the only two changes to the successful side of last week.

BRONCOS
The Broncos recorded a much needed win, only the second from their past six matches, last week against an undermanned Titans side.

Playing at home and starting a short-priced favourite due to the altered line-up of their opponents, the Broncos would’ve had supporters and punters very worried at half-time with the score-line reading against them 4 – 8.

Two tries in the space of six minutes in the second half, a second to Dale Copley (his seventh for the season) and one to Matt Gillett (his sixth), gave the Broncos the spark they needed and they closed the game out with another try to Jack Read, winning 22 – 8.

It took the Broncos a while to warm up last week but in the end, they ran out comfortable winners and how they reached that result given their recent record, wasn’t important.

This week they have to travel to Campbelltown however and a similar start can not be afforded.

The Broncos will lose goal-kicker Corey Parker, centre Justin Hodges, who has played a big role in several of Copley’s tries this season and Matt Gillett to Origin.

HEAD TO HEAD
The Tigers have only won one of their nine games against the Broncos who, in six games at Campbelltown since 2000, haven’t yet tasted defeat.

WRAP
Both teams are coming off a win but both will not have been entirely happy with their performances and will be out to improve this week.

The win last week for the Broncos will relieve some of the pressure that has been building at the Brisbane Club over the past six weeks and that result, after a string of close defeats, maybe all they need to get back to the form that saw them start the season with three wins from the opening four rounds.

As the market suggests, this will be a close, the Tigers forward pack will more than hold it’s own, but with the Broncos to sneak home.
