Melbourne’s recent attacking form hasn’t been great, however, they are a different side at home and that’s why I’m backing them for a big win against the Tigers on Sunday. The Tigers defence has been extremely poor, allowing St George last week to break their line 11 times in the match. 

The thought of the Melbourne flyers running at a broken Wests line will excite their fans this week and I like them to go over their team total of 32.5 points and find the form that they had earlier in the season that has them ranked 4th in the NRL with 5.9 linebreaks per game. 

Papenhuyzen and Coates are obvious try scoring picks this week, however, I like Eli Katoa to score with the Saints week on these edges and also with the threat of the Melbourne backrower flying through the air and snagging one. 

  • Melbourne have won their last 7 games against Wests.
  • Melbourne are averaging 38 points per game at AAMI Park this season.
  • The Tigers have conceded an average of 28 points in their last three matches.
  • Back rowers have scored 5 tries in 3 games against Wests.

Melbourne have been out of sorts of late, losing 2 of their last 3 matches with the latest a golden point defeat to the Raiders 20-18.

The Storm attack has been stagnant for their standards after averaging 36 points per game in the first 5 matches of the year to now just averaging 21 points in their last 3 games. 

Melbourne were unstoppable from all over the field earlier this season attacking from deep in their own end but now need to get back to basics and work on lifting their rankings in ground statistics like run metres (8th), efficiency inside 20m (12th) and territory (9th).

Recent Form

3-23-24-1

The Tigers are chugging along nicely with 3 wins from their last 4 games after a nerve-racking 34-28 victory over St George last week.

There were some real worrying signs to come out of the victory against the Dragons and some old habits creeping into the Tigers game. The Saints were able to break Wests’ line 11 times in the match which tallies to 21 times they have conceded a linebreak over the last 3 matches.

After being one of the best defensive teams in the comp to start the season, the Tigers have certainly lost that claim after conceding an average of  26 points per game in their last 5 matches.
