Preview:
A single point proved the difference between winning and losing for both the Tigers and the Rabbitohs in Round 14.
Wests travelled to North Queensland as the underdogs to face the Cowboys, and after three unanswered tries in the first half, the Tigers eventually walked away with a gutsy 28-27 victory.
The Cowboys made things interesting in the second half scoring a pair of tries in the opening 10-minutes, but the brilliance of Michael Chee-Kam saw Wests over the line as the Tigers second-rower scored the game-winner with seven minutes remaining.
Things were equally close for the Rabbitohs against the Panthers, only Souths were on the wrong side of a fairytale ending.
A slow start to the game certainly played a part in the Bunnies’ fourth loss of the season, but a complete lack of possession eventually paved the way for an agonizing one-point loss.
The week off couldn’t have come at a better time as both sides took some time to regroup. Wests are still a massive chance at playing finals, while the Bunnies are hoping to keep in touch with the ladder leading Storm.
Fresh legs should mean plenty of points, but this is also the perfect revenge game for Dane Gagai following his Origin goose egg on Sunday night. Questions are now being asked of this Rabbitohs outfit and considering their last two meetings against the Tigers have resulted in well over 40 points, it’s worth backing Souths to answer the call.
