Tigers vs Cowboys Preview by Dean McHugh

The Tigers are hoping to end a five-game slump on Thursday night as they welcome the Cowboys to Leichhardt Oval. Rooted to the foot of the standings, the Tigers have very little to play for other than pride, although they won’t be proud of their performances as of late.

For the Cowboys, they find themselves in somewhat of a precarious position as they are just two points off third spot but also two points above ninth placed Canberra. Therefore, every game feels like a must win for them right now. 

For that reason and the fact they are short-priced favourites, I’m not going to tip up the Cowboys, although I do think they’ll win. I think they could look to keep things tight early on and therefore I’m going for them to shut out the Tigers in the first ten minutes. The Tigers have been notoriously slow starters recently and they have only once scored a try in the opening ten minutes of a game in their previous five matches.

Bet – No Tigers Try Inside First Ten Minutes
