Rd 11 Team Lodgement and Banter

[Ringo]

Round 11 is here and we have a standard suite of games from Friday night to Sunday.

The Top 8 is taking shape with a 2 game buffer to the bottom 8. Can some of the bottom start to make some inroads by upsetting top teams this week.

We will still have a partial lock out as this year full lock out occurs at bounce of first Saturday game.
As a result Captains, Vice Captain and EVC as well as Tigers/Swans players will be locked at bounce on Friday 7:50pm, with full lockout at bounce of Lions/Giants game  1:45pm Saturday,

Teams are to be lodged in this format in this thread:

Def: xxxx  xxxx  xxxx xxxx
Mid: xxxx  xxxx  xxxx xxxx
Ruck: xxxx
Fwds: xxxx  xxxx  xxxx xxxx
Util: xxxx xxxx (can be in any position)
Emergencies: xxxx  xxxx  xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx (name in priority order and post in UF)

Captain, Vice Captain and emergency vice captain to be specified,
Teams to be lodged in UF and this thread with Emergencies in order so Admin can make the required adjustments if necessary. Can you please keep UF updated with changes to lockout to assist Admin

Note when changing team lodgements use quote or create new post.

Round 11 Draw with teams mentioned first having the HGA.
Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs v Oxford Lions
2nd v 3rd _ Match of the round - Little separating these 2 teams with the Hedgies having the better defence. How will the Captains go Will Neale bounce back after a sub par performance last round and will Keays keep up his momentum? Do the Lions have the forward power to break the Hedgies defence?  Really hard to pick this one but maybe Hedgies with HGA will get it done.
Nottingham Hoods v Blackpool Bunnies
6th v 8th Bunnies will be smarting to reverse their close loss to the Lions last week and dropping to 8th position. They come against a Hoods team who surged home to get over the plucky Breakers. Bunnies will be hoping Captain Boak can regain some form and that Reeves recovers from injury to avoid complete ruck domination. If Boak regains some form they may be able to challenge the Hoods but with the home ground advantage think Hoods will prevail.
Leeds Leeches v Manchester Magic
14th v 7th  Leeches are still without a coach and are relying on Captain Oliver to run the team and will be hard pressed to overcome the Magic,
Bradford Badgers v Swansea Breakers
9th v 16th - Is this the chance for the Badgers to rise up the ladder. They have had some high scores recently in going down to higher placed teams and come against the Breakers who can be hot and cold. There is little between both teams when their best is produced and this is another game where maybe home ground advantage will get the Breakers home.
Grope Lane Giants v Huddersfield Hawks
5th v 10th Really hard to see the Giants getting over the youthful Hawks. A win to Giants here although Hawks may surprise.
Liverpool Rams v Birmingham Dragons
12th v 15th - Can the dragons tighten up their defence which is the weakest in the league and slow the Rams. Will be a difficult task at the Rams home ground so expect them to win easily.
Winchester Werewolves v Staines Steins
13th v 4th - Hard to see the rebuilding Wolves getting over the Steins.  However with a strong home crowd may surprise. If Nankervis can curtail Gawn a little may go a long way to the upset especially if C Sicily can double up. Think though Steins may be too strong across the park.
Hastings Hurricanes v Wrexham Knights
1st v 11th - Hard to see the Knights stopping the gale force Hurricanes who are yet to be defeated.
