Finals Week 2

Finals Week 2 Draw:

Premiership Cup.

Nottingham Hoods v Staines Steins
Hoods put up a strong performance against premiership favourites Werewolves last week but now face the Steins who are finding form at the right end of the season. Hoods will be looking for another strong performance from Captain Jack Macrae but will need to find a way to combat the Steins duel Rucks of Gawn and Grundy. Favouring Steins here and can really see them troubling Werewolves next week should they win this clash.
Hastings Hurricanes v Blackpool Bunnies
Hurricanes have been struck with injury at the wrong end of the season and will face the Bunnies who scrapped a win over the Hedgies. Both teams have had a number of players down on form and whichever team really turns up should win this. Bunnies will be hoping Murphy, Crouch and Cunnington can carry that form to this week whereas the Hurricanes will be hoping that Kennedy can lift to match. A lot will depend on replacements for the suspended May and injured Scharenberg. Think injuries and suspension a bit much to overcome so Bunnies to go to the prelim next week.

Patrons Plate.,

Huddersfield Hawks v Wrexham Knights
Both coaches were absent last week so will be interesting to see what teams are presented this week. Knights may be favoured slightly.
Bradford Badgers v Liverpool Rams
Real rivalry between the 2 coaches here and bragging rights up for grabs. If Rams Captain Beams can keep his form up then can see them upsetting the Badgers. Badgers will be hoping Shuey gets up to keep a check on Beams and Heppell to keep a check on Lyons. Really a toss of the coin here but maybe Rams in a tight one.

Teams to be lodged in this thread with teams locked at bounce of Richmond Geelong game on Friday night

Yep my bad did not factor in the crossover - Steins can also challenge Dragons if they win as well.

Def: Laird (C), Salem, Weitering, Barrass
Mid: Jelwood (VC), JPK, Jones, Armitage
Ruck: Darcy
Fwd: Boak, Trengove, Parish, Edwards
Int: Shiels, Miller

Emg: Goddard, Caddy, Dawson, Bonner

Well, 3 guys come in for their first game this year, not ideal coming into finals. Barrass and Weits come in due to injured/suspended trio Shaz, May and Seedsman while Trengove gets a spot in the forward line over the Big spud Josh Caddy...Nige you can have him.
Gonna need some luck to go my way in this one i think, Hurricanes in poor form.
