Scouting Report
Dictators
Dictators are a well-rounded side who change their attack based on the opposition.
Their boot work has been tactical and varied. No single pattern to predict.
Edge over the opponent: outscoring opponents comfortably.
3 players showing fatigue (fitness below 60) — could be rested or underperform.
Playing at home — should feed off the crowd.
Devils
Devils keep opponents guessing with a varied approach. There's no single way to shut them down.
Analysis of recent games shows a preference for the left edge — something the opposition coaches will have noticed.
High kicks and bombs have been their go-to. The back three will earn their money.
Cause for concern: struggling to put points on the board.
1 player showing fatigue (fitness below 60) — could be rested or underperform.
Tactical Battle
Neither side has an obvious style to exploit. This will come down to execution on the day rather than tactics.
The marquee matchup: Stacey Jones at Halfback against Ricky Stuart at Halfback. Whoever dominates their position could decide the contest.
Where to Target
Dictators' Prop depth has been a concern all season. Expect Devils to target that channel.
Devils' Five-eighth depth has been a concern all season. Expect Dictators to target that channel.
Scoring
Devils' goal kicker is in outstanding form (90%). That 2-point difference adds up over 80 minutes.
Momentum
Dictators desperately need a win to stop the rot. Expect them to come out fired up.
