Scouting Report
Devils
Devils haven't committed to one attacking style — they adapt week to week.
Analysis of recent games shows a preference for the left edge — something the opposition coaches will have noticed.
They love the long ball — expect contestable kicks and aerial battles.
Cause for concern: struggling to put points on the board.
1 player showing fatigue (fitness below 60) — could be rested or underperform.
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.
High kicks and bombs have been their go-to. The back three will earn their money.
Edge over the opponent: outscoring opponents comfortably.
1 player unavailable (1 injured, 0 suspended). Manageable.
Tactical Battle
Two well-rounded sides who don't rely on one trick. Expect the game to be won in the little moments — a key tackle, a clutch kick, a moment of brilliance.
All eyes on Ricky Stuart (Halfback) vs Lance Hohaia (Fullback). Both have been outstanding this season and when these two are firing, it's box office.
Where to Target
On paper, Devils' Five-eighth stocks are the weakest link. That's where the damage could be done.
Devils should look to exploit Hammerheads' Prop position — it's a clear soft spot in the lineup.
Scoring
Devils convert at 90% — every try is almost guaranteed extra points. Clinical.
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.
