Rd 4 Team Lodgement and Banter Thread

[Ringo]

Rd 4

First named team has the HGA.

Nottingham Hoods v Liverpool Rams
13th v 15th. Draw has not been kind to the Hoods but they should chalk up against the Rams who have been struggling with injuries. Hoods comfortably with HGA

Manchester Magic v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
6th v 9th This is a contender for Game of the Round. Hedgies were surprise losers to the Giants last week who seemed to grow a leg on their homeground. Captains performance for both teams could well decide the outcome. Leaning slightly to the Magic at home here.

Blackpool Bunnies v Bradford Badgers
11th v 3rd - Is this the week for the Badgers Bubble to burst? Bunnies have the cattle to do so but will need to be at the top of their form to do so. Badgers would be favoured but with their vocal home ground crowd urging them on an upset is possible.

Oxford Lions v Grope Lane Giants
12th v 8th - Giants continue to surprise and sit in the top 8. Will they keep the momentum going against the Lions who are building slowly and younger players gaining confidence, The battle of the midfield may decide result Could go either way and may be another game where the Home crowd gets the Lions home.

Wrexham Knights v Leeds Leeches
7th v 14th Leeches are another team struggling with injuries and unable to get best team on the park. hard to see them getting over the Knights.

Swansea Breakers v Hastings Hurricanes
16th v 4th Hard to tip anything but a comfortable Hurricanes win here

Staines Steins v Winchester Werewolves
1st v 2nd - The obvious contender for match of the round. All interest will be whether Wolves Captain will come through the concussion protocols. If ruled out match will be a toss of the coin. If he plays expecting a great game  which may be decided again by midfield performance. Wolves with Fyfe; Steins if Wolves without Fyfe.

Birmingham Dragons v Huddersfield Hawks
5th v 10th - Which dragons team will turn up The one that broke the highest score record or the average one of last week. If the average team turns up can see the Hawks jumping them.  So if Dragons are on their game they will win but if a drop off Hawks may pounce.

As we have a Thursday night start the following rules will apply as partial lock out will be in play:

Team to be lodged in UF by bounce on Thursday (Teams locked in UF at bounce of first game of the round).
Teams to also be lodged in this thread and players from Swans and Demons will be locked at bounce on Thursday night
Captain and Vice Captain will be locked at bounce.
Remaining players will be locked at bounce of Pies and Bulldogs game on Friday. Changes to teams allowed but must be done in this thread so UF can be adjusted.
No loopholing will be allowed though.

Remember also to name the 4 emergencies in your post as well as failing to name will result players allocatted from your priority list.

Best of luck and feel free to start the banter

ALSO REMEMBER ANY CHANGES TO TEAM USE QUOTE OR START NEW THREAD This will assist in ensuring we have latest team.

Also to help admin it would be appreciated if you could update your teams in UF before Thursday lockout.
