Tigers vs Warriors Preview

WALKING WOUNDED:
He didn’t quite make it last week but Tigers centre Chris Lawrence will definitely make a return from the hamstring injury he suffered in Round 22. Matt Utai makes way for the Test centre. Tigers coach Tim Sheens has named a six-man bench with Utai and Ben Murdoch-Masila the two that are likely to drop off.

Warriors coach Ivan Cleary has also been forced into one change with Joel Moon (ankle) being replaced by Krisnan Inu. Youngster Elijah Taylor will travel with the squad as 18th man.

FORM:
The Tigers moved into equal premiership favouritism after their come-from-behind win over the Dragons in week one of the playoffs. And it’s hard to argue with that with the joint-venture club riding high on the back of nine straight wins. Their late-season momentum looked like being burst as they trailed 12-6 at half-time against the defending premiers before some Benji Marshall and Tim Moltzen magic inspired a spirited fightback. The sides have met twice this year with the Tigers winning on both occasions.

Many were calling the Warriors dark horses for the title heading into the finals but they were more like tame ponies against the Broncos last weekend. Led by mistake-prone winger Manu Vatuvei, the Kiwis fumbled and bumbled their way through a painful 80 minutes, going down 40-10. Other results kept their season alive but unless they improve significantly against the firing Tigers, the SFS scoreboard attendant will have a busy night on their hands.

WHO’S HOT:
The Tigers were furious earlier this season when the Dragons snuck in to snare Tim Moltzen on a three-year deal and it’s easy to see why. Moltzen, who turned 23 the day before taking on the Warriors, has been the x-factor in the club’s late-season surge and is the perfect foil for Marshall and skipper Robbie Farah. He is not only vital to the Tigers’ chances for his impact with the ball, but has improved the defensive side of his game as well. Back-rower Liam Fulton has also lifted his game of late. While fellow second-rowers Gareth Ellis and Chris Heighington continue to get the plaudits and get through a mountain of work. Fulton provides that extra bit of ball-playing ability on the Tigers’ right side.

Beware the wounded beast. That is the motto the Tigers have been living by this week as they expect a fierce response from Warriors winger Manu Vatuvei on Friday night. Vatuvei had an absolute shocker against the Broncos but there’s no doubt he is the most destructive winger in the NRL when on his game. And if the 25-year-old is as good as he was bad last week then the Tigers could be in trouble because when Vatuvei is on, the rest of the Warriors side follows. Fullback Kevin Locke was also kept fairly quiet against the Broncos but there is no more dangerous runner of the football in broken play. If the Tigers don’t present a straight defensive line and give the youngster an inch too much space, he will make them pay.
