Wests Tigers vs. Dragons Predictions
—
Best Bet
Wests Tigers 1-12 @ $3.00
Punters get better odds than expected for the Tigers 1-12, and we can’t see either team winning by more than two converted tries.
The Tigers are our pick to win outright, and although taking $1.87 would be a safer bet, we are surprised by the odds offered for a 1-12 win, so we’re listed it as our best bet.
Having beaten the Sharks in golden point last week, confidence is with the Tigers, who have seemingly put the Lachie Galvin drama behind them. They are a good chance of posting rare consecutive wins, and the Dragons come off an ANZAC Day hiding against the Roosters.
The Dragons are better than that, but we predict the Tigers to score another close NRL win.

Wests Tigers H2H, Sunia Taruva Try Scorer, Tyrell Sloan Anytime Try Scorer, Over 46.5 @ $9.25
We’re taking the Wests Tigers to win at $1.87 and over 46.5 points. They scored 70 points combined when meeting in 2024, and we think they’ll want to excite the Magic Round crowd in Brisbane.
The final score could be around 28-22, which is enough for our bets to cash, and history suggests it will be around that mark.
We have backed Sunia Taruva most weeks, and he hasn’t let us down much. He has three tries from his last four games, and the Tigers winger is paying a healthy $1.91 to score a try. We expect him to cross at least once, and he could grab a double.
Tyrell Sloan is a speedster, and with five tries from his last three games, he’s playing well. He has come of age in 2025, and getting $1.89 to score a try is a good price from bookmakers.

Sunia Taruva 2+ Tries @ $4.40
Taruva is one of the best finishers in the game, and although he was a better try scorer for the Penrith Panthers, he was getting better service from the halves.
However, with Jarome Luai and Lachie Galvin playing better recently, that should result in more tries for Taruva to finish in the corner, and he’s one of the best finishers.
We’re backing him to score a double at $4.40, and the odds are worth the risk.
