NRL Round 4: Wests Tigers vs New Zealand Warriors preview

The Wests Tigers will look to make it three wins in a row when they welcome the New Zealand Warriors to Campbelltown on Sunday night in the final match of NRL Round 4.

Benji Marshall’s side has found its rhythm after a Round 1 stumble, showing grit and flair in victories over the Eels and Dolphins.

Their spine of Bula, Galvin, Luai and Koroisau has clicked nicely, and their defence has been a revelation, conceding a league-best 11.3 points per game to start the season.

The Warriors have also bounced back well from their Vegas shocker, notching gritty home wins over Manly and the Roosters.

But with star fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck sidelined and a reshuffled backline, they will need to overcome travel fatigue and an in-form Tigers outfit to keep their seven-game winning streak against Wests alive.

This shapes up as a genuine test for both rugby league teams’ top-eight ambitions, with a classic forward battle looming between Terrell May and James Fisher-Harris.

Expect the Tigers to come in fired up, especially after last week’s dramatic comeback in Redcliffe.

Tigers v Warriors NRL Rd 4 betting predictions

The Tigers are riding high after two strong wins and now return to Campbelltown, where they will be confident of breaking a long drought against the Warriors. With improved discipline and the best defensive numbers in the NRL, they’re well placed to cover the small line of 4.5 points at $1.90 with BetOnline.

Tigers star Adam Doueihi has looked more comfortable each week in the centres and looms as a key target on the edge. With Jarome Luai drawing defenders and Sunia Turuva providing the space, the big-bodied No.3 could crash over in the red zone. At $2.90 with BetOnline, there is solid value for Doueihi in the anytime tryscorer market.

The Tigers have conceded just 34 points all season, and the Warriors attack hasn’t clicked consistently, especially without ‘RTS’. With both sides preferring to build pressure and muscle up defensively, this could be a grinding affair. Back the under 47.5 points with BetOnline in what looks like a 24–18 type of contest.
