RD 13 Banter and Lodgement

[Ringo]

Back to Normal this week.

Lockout will be at Bounce of Hawks and Pies game on Friday night.

Teams to be lodged in this thread and any changes start new thread,

With Friday lockout please do your best to have teams correct in UF.

Draw for Rd 13 as follows with first named team having the Home Ground Advantage.

Staines Steins v Liverpool Rams
5th v 16th - Steins had a disappointing result with injuries last week and will be looking to bounce back and re-enter the top 4 against the winless Rams. Rams had one of their best weeks last week so any slip up from Steins Rams could pince but hard to see anything but a Steins win.

Birmingham Dragons v Hastings Hurricanes
2nd v 6th - Dragons had a scare from the Rams last week and will need to be on top form when meeting the unpredictable Hurricanes. On paper Dragons should win but if the Hurricanes bring their A game they are capable of dousing the Dragons fire. With the home ground advantage Dragons should be able to hang on.

Wrexham Knights v Huddersfield Hawks
7th v 9th - This game should be a great tussle and the result may come down to how the Hawks defence handle the Knights attack. Hawks will be the hungrier as if they lose they may be a game outside the 8 with only 3 rounds remaining,  With not a lot of confidence tipping Knights to win and cement their position in the 8.

Grope Lane Giants v Winchester Werewolves
1st v 4th - Probably the match of the round for mine. After a slow start are the real Wolves back. Such strong contenders over the years but will be really tested by the high flying Giants. If the Wolves get over the Giants then we can say they are back as genuine title contenders but to win they will also have to combat a very vocal Giants home crowd who are anxious for success after the early years on the bottom, With this support tipping Giants.

Swansea Breakers v Bradford Badgers
15th v 3rd -  Should be an easy win to the Badgers here,

Manchester Magic v Leeds Leeches
8th v 13th Magic are holding onto 8th by a string and just held out the Bunnies last week. A loss by the Magic here could see them dropping out of the 8 and 3 games from 7th and involved in a 3 way fight for 8th.  Leeches are very unpredictable but on their day capable of causing an upset, If an upset is to occur in this round this match has all the signs but going for the Magic.

Oxford Lions v Nottingham Hoods
14th v 11th - Hoods  have won 2 in a row and showing the sort of form we expected from them at the start of the season. Lions are struggling to put good games together and injuries have not helped. Hoods to win this one.

Blackpool Bunnies v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
10th v 12th - If Bunnies are to win this one they will need to solidify their leaking defence. Hedgehogs will be throwing all at them though as a defeat will virtually end their hopes of making the 8 and because of this tipping them to get over the Bunnies.

let the fun and banter begin.

Let the record show that I’ve had we’ve now played 12 weeks and I have scored more than last week’s 2007 on six occasions this year.

Also we’re absolutely 0% chance of beating the Steins even on their worst day.  ;D
