Scouting Report
Hammerheads
Hammerheads don't have an obvious attacking tendency — they're comfortable playing multiple ways.
High kicks and bombs have been their go-to. The back three will earn their money.
Statistically similar to their opponent — nothing separating these two on paper.
1 player unavailable (1 injured, 0 suspended). Manageable.
Playing at home — should feed off the crowd.
Salamanders
Salamanders keep opponents guessing with a varied approach. There's no single way to shut them down.
High kicks and bombs have been their go-to. The back three will earn their money.
Statistically similar to their opponent — nothing separating these two on paper.
1 player unavailable (1 injured, 0 suspended). Manageable.
Tactical Battle
Neither side has an obvious style to exploit. This will come down to execution on the day rather than tactics.
Lance Hohaia (Fullback) has been one of the form players of the comp. But James Maloney (Five-eighth) won't be far behind. This head-to-head will be fascinating.
Where to Target
Hammerheads' Prop depth has been a concern all season. Expect Salamanders to target that channel.
Salamanders' Halfback depth has been a concern all season. Expect Hammerheads to target that channel.
Scoring
Hammerheads' goal kicker is in outstanding form (88%). That 2-point difference adds up over 80 minutes.
The boot has been a weapon for Salamanders this season — 80% conversion rate.
Momentum
Hammerheads are flying — winning by an average of 18.7 points recently. Confidence will be sky-high.
