Wests Tigers vs Redcliffe Dolphins Prediction, Preview, Team News and More: NRL Round 11, 2024

The Wests Tigers face the Redcliffe Dolphins on Sunday at the Suncorp Stadium to close the Magic Round in the NRL.

This season has not been good for the Wests Tigers, who have lost every game since their defeat to the Dolphins in Round 5. Their most recent loss was to the Newcastle Knights, who walked away with a six-point victory.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins have made their way to fourth in the rankings after winning three of their last four games. They won their last two matches, beating the Cowboys by two points and following up with a six-point victory over the Sea Eagles.

What’s most impressive is how they seem to improve with each match. That's despite the absence of Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, who is set to make a return soon.

The Round 5 clash between the sides could once again go the way of the Dolphins, who beat the Tigers at the Suncorp Stadium by 10 points, dominating the first half and maintaining steady form in the second.

If the Wests pull off the upset, it would be one of the most iconic moments of the season. The Dolphins are ferocious on offense and have shown that they can score from anywhere. The Tigers have improved their defense, but that may not enough to nullify the creative attacks typical of the Dolphins.
