Rd 4 Banter and Lodgement Thread

[Ringo]

Like most I am sure you are wondering how Brits can continue with all the uncertainty.  last week you can say was the round from hell with only one team scoring over 1900 points.

As posted in the Rd 3 we will continue on in UF but adjust Rd 3 scores when available.


Teams to be lodged in this thread by  bounce Swans v Dogs on Thursday
Rolling lock out will be in effect till bounce of first Saturday Game. Captains and Vice Captains however will be locked at bounce of Thursday game.  To ensure no loopholing teams are to be posted in thread prior to Thursday lockout and changes also recorded but as new post/quote in thread.  Also remember if changing Captains or Vice Captains prior to lockout in UF to also recotd in thread as the postings in thread will be taken as correct at lock out.

Round 4 Draw with teams first named with the HGA.  This round will be extremely interesting with a lot of teams playing teams next or close to them on the ladder.

Manchester Magic v Oxford Lions
15th v 8th  Can Magic fix their leaky defence in order to get first win of the season against the Lions who have won 2 games this year. Although Magic has the HGA slightly favour Lions.
Bradford Badgers v Nottingham Hoods
9th v 7th - One of the matches of the round. Badgers will be seething after their narrow loss to the Lions and will be hoping to get over the Hoods, Captains choice will be important here. With very little between these teams mabe the Badgers with HGA over the Hoods.
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs v Grope Lane Giants
12th v 1st Even with HGA hard to see the Hedgies getting over the Giants,
Liverpool Rams v Blackpool Bunnies
14th v 13th Another contender for match of the round. Bunnies coach went missing last week and will he turn up to drive the team forward, Rams may have a bit more fire power with strong favourite for Rising Star causing opposing teams all types of trouble.  Rams favoured to get on the board.
Winchester Werewolves v Leeds Leeches
6th v 5th Yet another contender for match of the round.  8 point game here for these teams as loser more than likely will be further behind top 4. Werewolves will be hoping some their stars find some form after being disappointing last week whereas Leeches will hope that their attack will keep going. So maybe a toss of the coin here with Wolves favoured slightly with HGA and the potential of underperforming stars finding form.
Wrexham Knights v Swansea Breakers
3rd v 16th Ladder position says it all - Percentage booster for the Knights,
Hastings Hurricanes v Huddersfield Hawks
11th v 10th Yet another close game on paper. Little separates these 2 teams and it may be a case of the Hurricanes home crowd driving them home.
Birmingham Dragons v Staines Steins
2nd v 4th Dragons have started the restart of the comp breathing fire but will their fiire be doused by the Steins dominant ruck combo. Dragons will be hoping their midfield gets on top to feed their strong forward line up. probably another game that may be decided by HGA.

Good luck and do not forget to name teams and changes here,
