Rd 10 draw with first named team having the HGA

A lot of games this week sees top teams playing lower teams.  Can we see some upsets this week to readjust ladder,

Huddersfield Hawks v Oxford Lions
16th v 3rd - Hard to see anything other than a Lions win here.  Lions will have too much class for the Hawks who are still a very young team.

Birmingham Dragons v Swansea Breakers
8th v 13th  Despite positions on the ladder this game could be closer than indicated. Breakers scored more points than Dragons last week so may be capable of upset.  Much will depend on whether Breakers Captain Cam Guthrie continues his great form of recent weeks,  Both teams have injury worries and the team with better depth will get the chocolates.  Dragons to roar here with the home crowd driving them on.

Staines Steins v Leeds Leeches
2nd v 4th. Probably match of the round here with winner maintaining a Top 4 spot. The GG combination of the Steins has been a little contained in recent weeks and if Leeches can maintain control over them they may get the win. It may be a case of which cracks the Steins with the strong attack against the Leeches strong and miserly defence, Really toss of the coin and maybe Steins with the HGA.

Hastings Hurricanes v Blackpool Bunnies
1st v 9th Hurricanes have been on fire sweeping all before them but their forward line will face their toughest defence with the Bunnies having the meanest defence of the season to date, The Bunnies will need to lift their scoring potential as they languish near the bottom in scoring.  So it will come down to whichever of the two comes out on top. Hard to see the Bunnies containing the Hurricanes forward line despite recent efforts so think the Hurricanes will continue to blow another opponent away.

Wrexham Knights v Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs
7th v 15th - Hedgehogs continue to be ravaged by injury and Cunningham and Greene were added this week. With so many out hard to see the Hegehogs containing the Knights,

Winchester Werewolves v Nottingham Hoods
10th v 6th Hoods should win this one but any slip up and the Wolves will be ready to pounce.

Liverpool Rams v Manchester Magic
11th v 12th Another contender for match of the round. This may be another case of defence v forward and which comes out on top will no doubt win,  Maybe another game where the home crowd gets the Rams home.

Grope Lane Giants v Bradford Badgers
5th v 14th Another game where it is hard to see the lower team winning especially with HGA.

Let the banter begin
