Val Holmes
There should be a fair few tries floating around in this one scumbags, so get excited. Despite the Tigers defensive effort last week against the Knights, both of these teams have a deadset fucking disgusting 5+ average tries conceded per game. The Dragons have gotten the party started through their left side CTW for the last four straight games. The Tigers have only given up the first opposition team try to a left winger once, but a left centre has scored the first or last try against them for the last two weeks in a row. The Dragons left CTW have both scored the first try three times each, it’s just that Val has scored all three of his within their last four games.
Setu Tu/Tyrell Sloan
The Tigers have given up 12 tries to opposition wingers in their last 6 games, and with yet another CTW shift due to Taylan May’s shoulder once again attempting to separate itself from his torso and flee, the door is definitely open for both of these cunts to put the smack on Wests. I mean, shit, BOTH of the Dragons wingers have scored in 4 of their last 5 games, so they are certainly trending up now that the Red V seems to have somewhat pulled their shit together. Either also has a decent shot of getting in early; Setu Tu based on the Tigers shithouse defence against right wingers and Sloan based on the Dragons preference to go left early, as we know they have done for the last 4 straight games.
Sunia Turuva/Jeral Skelton
It makes me mad as fuck that I have to combine these two, Punters, but Benji Marshall is just such a fucking cunt that he has forced my hand here. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but this fuckin guy is just straight up lying on the team list every week. This lord of bullshit had (and you can go check this if you want) Skelton at Left winger next to May and To’a on the right side with Turuva listed last round, then trots out the team with BOTH FUCKING WINGERS ON THE RIGHT AND BOTH FUCKING CENTRES ON THE LEFT. GET. ABSOLUTELY FUCKED BENJI FUCKIN MARSHALL. That wasn’t the first occasion either, he pulls this bullshit all the time. So that means you and I are left to wonder, constant scumbag, just who gets to actually lineup on the wings against a team that has been fucking disintegrated by opposition wingers for 33 tries so far. If everything turns out as listed this week, then these two should get a couple of slices of that pie. If Benj pulls some bullshit again, it will be CLEARLY LISTED right centre Starford To’a lining up at left wing as if he doesn’t have a big 4 on his back, sailing over the tryline first for the tigers and fucking up all of our multis, because Benji is a prick.

The Dragons haven’t done a ton of scoring through their edge forwards, which is a nice way of saying ‘fuck all’. The reason this is here though, is that the Tigers have been knocked off by left edge runners for the last three straight games. Keep an eye on the markets prior to kickoff though, because Luciano Leilua is lurking on the bench, and left edge tries is basically what he does for the Dragons when starting.

Speaking of teams who are shit against opposition edge runners, let me introduce you to the ST George Illawarra Dragons.
Jock Madden
Interestingly, the Dragons have given up the first or last try to a 5/8th four times this year. That may not sound like much, but I assure you it is not normal.
