Foxsports.com.au and rugby league legend Laurie Daley bring you everything you need to know about Saturday's second qualifying final between Wests Tigers and Sydney Roosters.
Second qualifying final, Sydney Football Stadium, 6.30pm (AEST) Saturday, 11 th Sept 2010
Tigers: A week off as reward for winning is a very real possibility, should either St George Illawarra or Penrith slip up. Meanwhile it would take four teams below them winning for the Tigers to be eliminated.
Roosters: A win is the only way to ensure survival for the Roosters, while a loss will turn them into nervous spectators until the end of the weekend.
TALE OF THE TAPE:
The Tigers’ most recent losses, against South Sydney and Gold Coast Titans, were both nail-biters. In between, they racked up big wins against Penrith and Melbourne Storm. The Roosters’ season was on the skids until their second-half revival against Manly in round 25, though their form against North Queensland Cowboys was far from convincing. The Roosters won both head-to-head battles in 2010, the first 44-32 in a free-flowing affair and the other 12-8 in a dour defensive struggle.
STATS AMAZING:
Sydney Roosters concede more penalties than any other team, averaging 6.4 indiscretions per game. Coincidentally that is exactly the same number of penalties Wests Tigers receive per game, second only behind Melbourne Storm. In what could be a close battle, don’t be surprised if a field goal is the difference. The Tigers have kicked the most one-pointers of any team this season with seven, while the Roosters have kicked only one.
