Finals 1st week lodgement

[Ringo]

After the shocks of last week and effects on ladder we now have the finals.

Remember teams 9 - 16 are playing for the Patrons Plate Trophy as well

Teams to be named in this thread as well as UF with full lock out at bounce of Pies and Tigers game Friday Night.

Premiership Cup Finals - First named team has the hga

Grope Lane Giants v Birmingham Dragons
1st v 4th - Dragons were breathing fire during the mid rounds and they will need to find this fire if they are to get over the Giants who are sweeping away all before them. Giants for the win here

Staines Steins v Bradford Badgers
2nd v 3rd - badgers have had a real run of bad luck with injuries in recent weeks and has seen them drop a few games they should have won. Steins seem to be firing at the right end of the season and with their dual rucks in form should prove too strong for Badgers,

Winchester Werewolves v Manchester Magic
5th v 8th Who at start of season would have expected Wolves to be in an elimination final. This game is hard to call as little has separated these 2 teams in recent weeks. Will the Wolves home crowd get them up. Real toss of the coin but think if Magic can silence home crowd early then they may survive.

Hastings Hurricanes v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
6th v 7th Another match were little separates these 2 teams and again expecting a tight match. Hedgies slightly favoured but not a lot of confidence

Patrons Plate Finals - First named Team has the Home Ground Advantage

Nottingham Hoods v Leeds Leeches
9th v 12th - What a fall from grace for Leeches Premiers last year to 12th position this year.  Hoods had a few unlucky matches early in the year and would have been playing finals if the luck went their way. Hoods too strong here,

Wrexham Knights v Huddersfield Hawks
10th v 11th -Expect the Knights to continue their strong showing of recent weeks and take the Hawks down.

Blackpool Bunnies v Liverpool Rams
13th v 16th - Rams had a strong win last week and I think they can continue with a win over the Bunnies who have really struggled over the last few weeks.

Swansea Breakers v Oxford Lions
14th v 15th - A repeat of last week for these 2 teams will Breakers prevail again or will the Lions find their early season form. Another toss of the con and will not predict to say breakers will be fired up again due to losing a position in the Draft.

Is this allowed ???

I'm fine with it. Just means you cop the emg order of D/M/R/F, and don't get an EVC if you ever need one (unless specified otherwise).

Yep is fine but then remember if utilities are used you get the defender score unless you post emergency order here.

Happy if people say as per UF and then quote emergency order.
