Battle of the bottom this week between Quito and Las Vegas, whoever loses this one will be the only team without a win.

Battle of the bottom this week between Quito and Las Vegas, whoever loses this one will be the only team without a win.

Oi no spoiling my match previews! :P

[Jukes]

So here are the previews!

In our first game two 1-2 teams clash looking to get back to an even-record - the Sharks, coming off a big loss, and the Avalanche, who had a nailbiting win - but the Sharks scored more in round 3 if you exclude HGA. You'd back the sharks to win at home here, while both reserves sides will hope to get the win as they sit in the bottom six.

The second match should be a formality for the Terriers - surely they won't drop the points at home against the Hawks, but at least they're playing better than their AFL namesakes, as they had a medium-level score in a big loss against the Grizzlies last week. Never say never, but it should be blowout wins for Boston and Harlem.

In probably our match of the round, the Grizzlies (1-2, 364 points scored for the season) host the Ducks (2-1, 362 points scored). If this was played in round 3 the Grizzlies would have walked out 19-point winners, but something tells me that won't be the case again (unless at least Pittard and Steven recover from injuries) and it'll be a tight one - unlike the reserves, where surely Stanford will get back to winning ways?

This one could get ugly - the high-flying Carolina (138 and 127 points the last fortnight) host the Otters, who couldn't capitalise on Gawn's injury last week and didn't make it to triple-figures. I doubt it'll be as bad as to be a record-breaking victory (the record is 52 points!), but the Panthers will want all the percentage they can get - and you'd think the reserves match will go similarly.

On the other side, Wisconsin hosting Houston could be a great contest. Houston were great last week, and Santiago poor - both getting wins - but if you ignore the round 3 outlier these teams are pretty equal. Gawn's injury and exclusion might just be the difference. In the reserves, Rio Grande have scored more points (league-leading 196 against Milwaukee's 187), but sit 7th compared to Milwaukee leading the ladder - this could be another great contest.

In the final game of the week, we see our only two winless teams take each other on - Las Vegas and Quito. The Sinners have scored 32 more points this season than the Quetzals, but Quito scored more in round 3 so it could be close. Home ground advantage might even be the difference, like in Quito's game last week. In the reserves, Nevada Desert sit tied for top unbeaten, while Galapagos are third-last. You'd expect the Coyotes to look for a percentage booster and maybe take top spot.

[fanTCfool]

Quito's scores are building, I'm hopeful. I also won't be dropping captaincy on Higgo this week so watch him explode  ::)

Joel and Scott Selwood were down in Big W in the Westfield near my work for a book signing (I popped in to buy a charger during lunch and came across them).

Also, Jukes is suspended for a week so people have notice in regards to America's and XV so if somebody can pop in a message there that'd be helpful please.
