Rd 12 Lodgement and Banter Thread

[Ringo]

We are back after the North v South Challenge and are ready for Rd 12.
Couple of games here can shape the Top 8 so best of luck to all teams.

First named team has the HGA:

Birmingham Dragons v Liverpool Rams
4th v 14th - Dragons are flying and hard to see anything but a Dragons victory here as Rams are really struggling this year.
Staines Steins v Huddersfield Hawks
3rd v 10th - Steins should win this one but would not want to underestimate the Hawks though who on their day can match it with most teams.
Hastings Hurricanes v Winchester Werewolves
2nd v 1st - This undoubtedly the match of the round. A lot will depend on well the Hurricanes can contain the Werewolves midfield. Hurricanes will have the advantage of their strong home crowd but will that be enough to get them home. Favour Werewolves slightly here.
Swansea Breakers v Wrexham Knights
13th v 15th - Another close game here with maybe the Breakers to get home urged on by their home crowd.
Leeds Leeches v Grope Lane Giants
9th v 11th Yet another contender for match of the Round. Giants have been one of the surprise packets yhis year gently rising up the ladder and could get the win here. Giants will need to find cover for injured Captain Treloar and this may hinder their rise. Leeches maybe with injury to Treloar and home crowd.
Bradford Badgers v Oxford Owls
12th v 6th - Will be watching how Owls perform for new Coach - Badgers have been competitive in some games and should give the Owls a strong test. Favour Owls slightly with team lifting for new coach.
Manchester Magic v Blackpool Bunnies
16th v 7th - Bunnies should have too many guns for the Magic here despite the efforts of the new coach.
Nottingham Hoods v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
5th v 8th - Hoods have had a couple of disappointing weeks and will be looking for the win here to keep in touch with the top 4. A loss by the Hedgies could see them drop from the Top 8.  Result may depend on how the replacement Captain for Macrae goes. Tipping Hoods here,

Name teams in this thread with a new post for each change.

This is a split round so players from Richmond and Sydney will be locked at bounce on Thursday night with balance of players locked at Bounce on Friday Night. No loopholing allowed.
