Rd 2 Draw: (Home team the first named) A lot of teams matched up with teams scoring similarly to last week.

Grope Lane Giants v Oxford Lions
1st v 7th - Both teams coming off wins last week with similar scores. New coach of Giants will be pleased with first up effort but will be hoping more from Captain Treloar this week if he retains captains band. Lions had a very consistent performance across the board and will be hoping Bailey Smith can produce the goods again.  Possibly one of the matches of the round but if pressed will lean towards Giants with the HGA.
Bradford Badgers v Liverpool Rams
9th v 10th - Both teams coming off close losses and will be looking to get on the board this week. Rams had an unfortunate to their star youngster Rowell which cost them the chance of a win but have the depth to cover.  Both teams have a strong defence so winner may come from whichever forward line can make inroads. Another close match here but favour Rams slightly.
Manchester Magic v Winchester Werewolves
15th v 16th Both teams a little disappointing last week and suffered heavy defeats. Winner will be the team that bounces back the quickest. Magics captain Hugh Greenwood and a shocker and may be relieved this week in an endeavour to find form.  Wolves hoping that their defence steps up after a disappointing showing last week, Tipping the Wolves here as they have the players really capable of stepping up.  Another close game though.
Nottingham Hoods and Wrexham Knights
3rd v 8th Hoods had the highest score for the week and will be favoured to account for the Knights. Knights will be sweating on the Judiciary with Dusty and will be a real test of depth if as suspected he is suspended. Hoods for the chocolates here,
Hastings Hurricanes v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
2nd v 11th Hurricanes coming off a strong win last week should be too strong for the Hedgies. However if Hedgies captain Lachie Neale can find form they may cause a surprise. Predicting another close match with Hurricanes to get home with HGA.
Blackpool Bunnies v Staines Steins
4th v 14th - Steins put in their worst performance for quite a while and coach will need to lift them this week. Bunnies had a very strong defensive performance last week and they will need to be on their game to curb the twin ruck pairing of Staines who were well below par last week.  Staines favored here but another below par performance could see Bunnies with the upset.
Leeds Leeches v Birmingham Dragons
5th v 6th  Another close game expected here.  A lot though will depend on the team Leeches named. If strongest team named should give the Dragons a reasonable match. However Dragons should be too strong and are favoured here,
Swansea Breakers v Huddersfield Hawks
12th v 13th Yet another match close on the table.  Hawks were somewhat disappointing last week as team did not perform to expectations. Breakers also struggled with Tom Green not living up to expectations.  Think Hawks will be too strong.

Let the banter begin and good luck.
