Rd 10 Banter and Lodgement

[Ringo]

Rd 10 Draw and I will try not to stuff up HGA this week.  ;)

A lot of the top teams will be playing lower teams this week so % could be all important for positions in the Top 4 and Top 8.

First named teams with the HGA.

Liverpool Rams v Winchester Werewolves
16th v 6th - hard to see anything but a Wolves win but Rams have been steadily improving each week. Despite improvement it will not be enough to get the chocolates.

Swansea Breakers v Huddersfield Hawks
15th v 11th - Both these teams have struggled this year but the Hawks should be able to get the win over the Breakers.

Birmingham Dragons v Leeds Leeches
1st v 12th - Dragons should be able to stomp on the Leeches this week. Dragons deservedly sit on top of the ladder at the moment with their form of recent weeks and with this form continuing should be a percentage booster for them.

Staines Steins v Oxford Lions
5th v 13th - Steins will be seething after their draw last week and will be looking to take their revenge out on thn the Lions who are struggling with injury.

Blackpool Bunnies v Hastings Hurricanes
14th v 4th - Another top 4 side against a lower side and should be another % booster to the swirling Hurricanes.

Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs v Wrexham Knights
7th v 8th - Contender for match of the round. Hedgies will also be reeling after their draw and will be looking to put further space between them and the Knights who conversely will be hoping to cement position in the 8. If Knights are to win their defence will need to be a little tighter. However with HGA can see the Hedgies just scraping home.

Nottingham Hoods v Grope Lane Giants
10th v 2nd - Can the Hoods be the team to burst the Giants bubble who continue to surprise this year. If Hoods can get their best team on the park they are capable of upsetting the Giants. Tipping the Giants here as Hoods still have injury concerns but an upset would not surprise.

Manchester Magic v Bradford Badgers
9th v 3rd - Badgers will be reeling after their first defeat last year and no doubt coach will have them fired up for this encounter.  Magic will be fired up as well as a loss may put them 2 games outside the 8. Badgers however should be too strong here,

Full lockout will come into effect at bounce of Swans and Pies game on Friday night.

Teams to be named in this thread and remember any changes to be made in a new post.

With the end of Thursday games for a while to assist Admin can you ensure your teams are also updated in UF prior to Friday lockout

Good luck and start the banter

Very confused by the continual reference to the Giants being surprise packets. Very young list that added Sam Walsh who played finals in 2018. There is no surprise to Nostra and I the team is very competitive and consistent these days

Know that but you have definitely flown under the radar this year not being mentioned in favourite and that is why I am being a little sarcastic with my comments when will the bubble burst. Probably the last time now though.

Maybe if we had more ladder predictions we'd know for certain who the surprises are and aren't ;)
