Highlights:
Toronto Wolves and the Seoul Magpies played in a 325 point thriller last year, a result that ultimately determined who made the finals and who didn't, with the Wolves finishing in 8th spot 0.67% ahead of the 9th placed Seoul Magpies. Can the Magpies get revenge? The Wolves won in round 1, but wouldn't be pleased with its scoring effort, while the Preseason premiers the Magpies dropped dramatically to a disappointing loss to the Royals.

Last year's grand finalists the Cobras take on the top-of-the-table Brewers in a match that could shape the season for both. The Brewers will demand respect if they take out a premiership favourite, while the Cobras can't afford to go 0-2 down early in the year.

Moscow were very solid in round 1 and look a smokey for top 4. The Royals had the nerve to hold off the Magpies last week, but punters will doubt 2 wins a row here.

Could this match decide the wooden spoon? Amazing to say this early in the season, but the Warriors and Tigers were very poor last week. The good news for them both is that one of them will win! Or at least draw.

Armadillos started shakey last week but stormed home to a mammoth 169 with many of its stars sitting on the sidelines. The Sands were scratchy last week and know that they will need everything to go right to upset one of the premiership fancies.

The Pumas and Bears shapes up to be one of the mis-matches of the year, and I can't see the Bears getting close to a Puma side looking to atone.

Tokyo were very solid in round 1 and would fancy themselves going 2-0 up against an Islanders team still finding its feet in the post c4 world.

Things don't get much easier for the poor Destroyers, who were solid last week against the Armadillos. There reward? Take on the reigning premier! A danger game for the Suns, but they should prevail barring disaster.

The Revolution comes home to America this week, but don't expect any gifts this time from PNL, who are desperate to get a win on the board.

No I entered it on the siren; either your telecast is slow or your internet is slow.

Thoughts os?

[ossie85]

Maybe Sid :) We do have 10 points for first, and 5 points for anyone by Thursday midnight currently. Might be worth thinking about for sure
