The Tarantosaurus Tip this afternoon: The Eels by 16. The Tigers have far too many changes, and they're too far down the ladder for me to even favour them. They do tend to get up some points, but with Eels being a semi-dominant side this year, the Eels should get up easily here.
The Tigers and Eels have played 34 times since the Wests merged in 2000. 14 Wins for Tigers, 19 Wins for Eels, 1 Draw
