The headline of the story is ” Pace, ruck-strength, gives tigers edge”. Claremont should make the change from qualifying round winners to final round winners when the play Subiaco in the Second Semi final at Subiaco.
Victory would enable Claremont to play it’s first grand final since 1983. Claremont and Subiaco are the best two organised teams in the league and Subiaco have been in the losing team in the last two grand finals.
Claremont will have Derek Kickett return to the side which will be a major boost to the side. Claremont go into this game with an edge in ruck strength, an advantage in pace and a capacity to match Subiaco’s well rehearsed game plan.
