British xv Round 18 Lodgement and Banter Thread

Ringo · July 29, 2015, 02:48:06 PM

Final Round of Home and away matches before the finals.

With the outs already announced there may be some carnage with some teams which may effect final positions on the table. Positions 5 - 8 carry the most interest this team as 5th placed Hoods could drop as low as 8th and the other 3 teams even on points could drop out if Owls has a huge win.

Final home and away draw.

Winchester Werewolves v Huddersfield Hawks @ The Rose Bowl
Werewolves will be really vulnerable this week with no Ablett or Fyfe so it is cherry ripe for the Hawks to gain some confidence prior to finals. A strong win to Hawks could see them finish second depending on other results. Hawks have issues themselves and will be sweating on the fitness of a couple of players especially Dayne Beams. Would favour the Hawks here as they are bearing the talons at the right end of the season
Liverpool Rams v Nottingham Hoods @ Goodison Park
Hoods have been hit hard by injuries and are really in danger to finish 8th with another defeat. Hoods will be really wanting their senior players to lift after their disappointing performances last week, Expect coach to have them fired up. Rams flying high after their win over the Werewolves last week and will be eying off 1st position should results go their way. hard to see Hoods matching the high flying Rams.
Bradford Badgers v Hastings Hurricanes @ Badger Village
Hurricanes are sitting nicely in 4th place but would want another win here to keep momentum going into the finals. Hurricanes are blowing up a storm at the right end of the season and should be too strong for the inconsistent Badgers. Badgers will be hoping to get some players back from injury to take it up to the Hurricanes though so the Hurricanes would not want to be off their game.
Swansea Breakers v Oxford Owls @ Swalec Stadium
Make or break game for the Owls who need a win to be a chance for 8th position. Both Teams have been up and down this year and a lot will depend on which teams turn up. Both Teams capable of big scores and also capable of shockers. Will be an intense game as Badgers can finish 5th with other results going their way and Owls with the chance to sneak into 8th. Toss of the coin this one.
Crosby Cruisers v Leeds Leeches @ Ewood Park
Another clutch game for positions in the 8 with a loss by the Cruisers opening the door for the Owls. Leeches have been up and down all season and if they can maintain last weeks form they may defeat the Cruisers. (Leeches outscored Cruisers last week) Will be tight but HGA may be sufficient for Cruisers to get home.
Manchester Magic v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs @ Swalec Stadium
A clash between 2 of the disappointing sides this year due to loss of form and injuries. Hedgehogs have really been dealt a cruel hand in recent weeks and are struggling to field a team and that is why Magic will be favoured slightly. Magic however can turn in the occasional shocker so Hedgehogs not with out a chance.
Blackpool Bunnies v Birmingham Dragons @ Bloomfield Road
This may come to the performances of the 2 Captains JP Kennedy and Tom Rockliff - Both capable of big scores but can be tagged as well resulting in lower scores. A similar performance last week by the Dragons will see Bunnies easily run away from them. However if Dragons are breathing fire then maybe they fry the Bunnies but a lot o improvement needed.
Staines Steins v Grope Lane Giants @ Wheatsheaf Park
A battle between the cellar dwellars, A win by the Giants would see them leapfrog the Steins. Both teams have shown improved performances but it would require an ever stronger performance from the Giants to see them over the Steins. If Giants can get their best team on the field a win would not surprise.

Teams will be locked at bounce of Richmond/Hawthorn game on Friday night.
