Jayden Short, the Tigers' defensive linchpin, heads into Marvel Stadium ready to stifle the Kangaroos' advances.

Despite his 20 disposals in the last five matchups against the Roos, Short might find it harder to hit his stride this time. With only a 51.5% implied probability of surpassing 21.5 disposals, the under bet on Short seems like a calculated risk worth taking.
