Rd 5 Team Lodgement and Banter

[Ringo]

We come to Round 5.

Draw for this Round (First named team has the HGA).
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs v Liverpool Rams
4th v 10th - Hedgehogs are travelling nicely and with Captain Dustin Martin in outstanding form hard to see the Rams keeping up. Hedgies by plenty
Nottingham Hoods v Blackpool Bunnies
5th v 8th - My pick for match of the round. Bunnies have been getting the job done without a ruck but are facing the Hoods who have one of the inform Ruckman in Nic Naitanui and this could prove the difference.  With teams 3 - 8 all equal on points winner will want to establish themselves in Top 4. Really a toss of the coin but leaning towards Hoods with HGA.
Oxford Owls v Manchester Magic
1st v 12th hard to go past the undefeated Owls here. Have scored over 2000 more points than the Magic and should dispose of them quite easily.
Bradford Badgers v Leeds Leeches
13th v 9th This should be a closer match than table positions indicate. Badgers have scored more points than the Leeches and if they get their defense in order could possibly cause an upset. Another match where HGA could decide the outcome.
Grope Lane Giants v Swansea Breakers
14th v 16th One of these winless teams will advance up the ladder this week. Breakers have scored more points than Giants but have leaked many more points. Giants with HGA would be favoured to winover the Breakers whose injury crisis deepens further with Jordan Lewis now sidelined for 4 weeks.
Winchester Werewolves v Wrexham Knights
2nd v 15th - Werewolves have been helped over the line by their very vocal crowd on 2 occasions so far and with them playing th 15th placed team hard to see anything but a Werewolves win.
Huddersfield Hawks v Hastings Hurricanes
11th v 7th. Hawks are in a group of teams with 2 wins and would be wanting a win to keep in touch with the Top 8.  Hurricanes coming of a scrappy win over the Breakers last week could be vulnerable with the Hawks waiting to pounce. Hawks will have their home crowd cheering all the way and could get them over the line.
Birmingham Dragons v Staines Steins
6th v 3rd Another contender for Match of the round. Both teams on 3 wins and winner would want to get into Top 4.  Dragons captain in Tom Mitchell was well held last week and if held again this week Steins will go a long way to winning the match. Tipping the Dragons here with HGA.
