Jahream Bula
Bula has only scored 6 tries so far this year, which isn’t any kind of indication that he will score against the Warriors. What is an indication however, is the hilarious stat that the presence of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad in the Wah’s outside backs appears to line up damn near perfectly with them getting soundly pissed on by opposition fullbacks. Charnze has such dogshit defence, he’s basically one of those movable slap-on holes that cartoon characters bung on a solid brick wall to make a quick getaway. Jahream was flying over the tryline with some regularity before he had some injury time on the sidelines, including already scoring against the Wahs earlier in the year (Yes, Charnze was present), so this week is a fine chance for Bula to get back into form after a bit of a dry spell.
Jeral Skelton/Heamasi Makasini
Now speaking of Charnze and his suss defence, on any normal week I would only recommend Skelton for this, but since DWZ is absent this round, a double from Makasini is suddenly on the cards as well. Just so we are on the same page here, these two appear to be the Tigers current wingers despite notable bullshit artist Benji Marshall naming Makasini at centre and Turuva at winger. The Warriors have given up 10 tries to opposition wingers in their last 6 games, and that was WITH their best wing defender on the field (DWZ), so surely it can only get worse for them here.
Taine Tuaupiki
The Tigers have legitimately not gone more than two games this year without being scored on by an opposition fullback. Forget the fact that Taine has scored in two of their last four outings, cunts, because it’s been approximately two games since the Tigers have last run afoul of an opposition ass-man. It’s time.
Leka Halasima
Yeah this one is just scientific, punters. Tigs have been dick-punched by left edge runners in 3 of their last 4 games. That’s the stat, take it or leave it cunt, IDGAF.
CNK
Righto, we’ve given Charnze enough shit about his wafer-like defence, time to get off his dick because despite that, the cunt has still scored 5 fuckin tries in the last two games. He bagged the first try and a double against the Tigers from the right centre position last time they faced off earlier in the year. AKP probably has a better chance of putting the Multiball on Wests given their recent form against left wingers, but it would be very surprising for CNK not to make an appearance in the Tryscorer list for this one.
AKP/Adam Pompey
Left CTW players have heaped shit on the Tigers for 6 tries in their last 3 games. Warriors left side CTW have scored 6 in the last fucking two. It’s on like fuckin donkey kong for these cunts, but special consideration for FTS should go to AKP since the Wah’s left winger has scored the first try for them more than any other position so far this year.
