Roosters Roost While Tigers Pounce for Fresh Starts

Roosters v Wests Tigers: Two earn debut; Fresh Hope for Benji

LeagueNews.co | Robbie Hamilton

The Wests Tigers, currently in 14th place with six consecutive losses, face a critical match against the Roosters, who have five players on Origin duty.

This situation presents a potential opportunity for the Tigers to upset their rivals.

The team's hopes of reaching the finals for the first time since 2011 appear dim, and the risk of receiving a fourth consecutive wooden spoon looms unless they can secure some victories soon.

Notably, the absence of Jarome Luai (NSW) and Api Koroisau (due to concussion) slightly evens the playing field.

The Tigers still have challenging upcoming matches against the Warriors, Panthers, Bulldogs, and Raiders, making their goal of avoiding the wooden spoon quite daunting.

However, a win on Sunday could be a significant step towards improving their season.
