Scouting Report
Kaiviti
Kaiviti favour getting the ball in their runners' hands rather than going to the boot.
High kicks and bombs have been their go-to. The back three will earn their money.
Edge over the opponent: completing their sets at a higher rate; making more metres per player; keeping their error count low.
3 players unavailable (2 injured, 1 suspended). Significant depth issues.
Playing at home — should feed off the crowd.
Hammerheads
Hammerheads keep opponents guessing with a varied approach. There's no single way to shut them down.
They love the long ball — expect contestable kicks and aerial battles.
Cause for concern: set completion has been worse than average; generating less go-forward than most; giving away too many cheap turnovers.
1 player unavailable (1 injured, 0 suspended). Manageable.
Tactical Battle
Kaiviti tend towards a running approach while Hammerheads favour balanced. The contrast in styles should create an intriguing contest.
Watch Brent Webb and Lance Hohaia — the two most dangerous players on the park. If either gets an early touch, the game opens up.
Where to Target
The Halfback role is where Kaiviti look most vulnerable. Hammerheads will have done their homework.
Without Shaun Johnson, Kaiviti lose their most dangerous weapon at Halfback. Someone has to step up.
On paper, Hammerheads' Prop stocks are the weakest link. That's where the damage could be done.
Scoring
The boot has been a weapon for Hammerheads this season — 88% conversion rate.
Momentum
Hammerheads are flying — winning by an average of 18.7 points recently. Confidence will be sky-high.
