Preview:
It appears this is Sam Burgess’ world and we are all just living in it.
The big second-rower was at his best again last week in the Rabbitohs’ 16-12 victory over the Raiders, a well-earned win that has kept the Bunnies on top of the ladder.
Things won’t come easy this week against the Tigers though, especially as Wests looks to make up for their heart-breaking defeat to the Storm.
Michael Maguire’s side turned up for a fight in Melbourne, only to come up short by an agonizing two points. Still, Tigers fans should take heart in the fact Josh Aloiai and Luke Brooks stepped up on the scoreboard.
These two sides met twice last year, but it’s the Round 25 meeting that will haunt the Tigers. Wests lost 51-10 in their season finale, adding further salt to the Tigers’ wound after missing out on a spot in the eight.
You can bet Maguire will be rallying the troops this week with revenge in mind. Despite the Rabbitohs dominance, they did show signs of weakness last week in Canberra, particularly through the middle as Sam Williams raced away for an impressive try in the second half.
The Bunnies survived by the skin of their teeth thanks to the Canberra’s last-minute mistakes, which leaves them looking overdue for a loss. Back the Tigers and their 6-4 record as the line underdog.
