Round 5 Draw with teams first named with the HGA:

Oxford Lions v Nottingham Hoods
11th v 10th - Very little separates these two sides Hoods defence has taken a hiding with injuries and this leads me to slightly favour the Lions who will also have the HGA.
Manchester Magic v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
14th v 9th Hedgies will be desperate to win this and stay in contact with Top 4. Magic have been a little disappointing this year. Hedgies to just get over the Magic.
Blackpool Bunnies v Bradford Badgers
15th v 7th - Should be an easy win for the Badgers
Leeds Leeches v Grope Lane Giants
5th v 2nd -  One of the games of the round % the difference between the 2 teams,  Strong possibility that loser will find themselves out of the Top 4. Like the Hoods Leeches defence has been decimated due to injuries and this would make the Giants favourites who have the best attacking record in the competition.
Swansea Breakers v Liverpool Rams
16th v 12th Can the Breakers get their first win here. Breakers still have injury issues so Rams favoured.
Huddersfield Hawks v Winchester Werewolves
13th v 8th -  Both will possibly have Senior players missing through injuriy or suspension so winner will be which team has the depth to cover.  Favour Wolves with the HGA
Birmingham Dragons v Wrexham Knights
4th v 1st Another great match here Knights are flying and undefeated but will face a real test with the Dragons who tasted defeat for the first time last week. Based on last weeks results Dragons would have beaten Knights so anticipating a tight match with HGA possibly getting the dragons home.
Staines Steins v Hastings Hurricanes
3rd v 6th A loss by the Hastings would lose touch with Top 4 so expect them to come out firing however they will have to curtail the twin rucks of the Steins if they wish to win. Possible but hard to see so predicting a Steins win.

Ringo will be looking after Bunnies team adjustments to maintain transparency.
