The Tigers have won the last two wooden spoons, they have lost their last eight and they have a huge injury toll but they look a play this week against the Titans.
Best Bet
There is plenty of concerns about the Tigers right now. They have lost eight straight, their best players want out and they have a huge injury toll.
Nothing steels a team like humiliation though and the Tigers were embarrassed beyond belief last week.
The Tigers conceded 56 last week – 44 in the second half – and that sets them up well this week.
Teams off conceding 56-plus are 32-12 ATS since 2008. Home underdogs off conceding 50-plus cover at a clip of 76%. The Tigers are 9-2 ATS off conceding 50 the last decade. The Tigers have covered five of their last six as an underdog at Leichhardt.
The Titans have covered just 10 of their last 27 interstate including a 1-5 cover record as an interstate favourite.
The Tigers are a quality bet this week.

Value Bet
Alex Seyfarth has plenty of faults in his game but playing hard is not one of them. He goes a million miles an hour and his hard running can get him across the line. He has three tries this season.
