Round 16 Lodgement Thread

[Ringo]

This week we have the split round so a Partial lock out will occur.

1. Winchester Werewolves v Bradford Badgers @ The Rose Bowl
Match of the round. Werewolves suffered first defeat and Badgers a little disappointing so who will prevail in this heavy weight clash.
2. Newcastle Falcons  v  Liverpool Rams @ Chester-le-street Oval
Falcons are up and down and can not afford to take the Rams lightly.
3. Manchester Magic v Crosby Cruisers  @ Old Trafford
Magic should be too strong for the Cruisers
4. Huddersfield Hawks v Leeds Leeches @ Galpharm Stadium
Toss of the coin here and both teams will be seeking win to consolidate a position in the 8.
5. Blackpool Bunnies v Hastings Hurricanes @ Bloomfield Road
Another game with implications for the 8 although Hurricanes would be favourites can not afford to take the bunnies lightly.
6. Grope Lane Giants v Swindon Swaggers  @ Giant Stadium
Giants were disappointing last week after a sound couple of weeks and will look to bounce back against the Badgers,
7. Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs v Oxford Owls  @ Todmorden Sports Centre
Hedgehogs should be too strong for the Owls but can not afford to be complacent,
8. Birmingham Dragons v Nottingham Hoods @ St Andrew's Stadium
Hoods although below form over the last couple of weeks should be too strong for the Dragons.
9. Staines Steins v Swansea Breakers @ Wheatsheaf Park
This will be a toss of the coin with both teams in the bottom team of the table.

Partial lockout with Carlton, North Melbourne, St Kilda. Fremantle, GWS, Geelong, Port, Melbourne, Bulldogs and Essendon players will be locked at bounce of Carlton and North Melbourne Game Friday July 18th with remaining team players locked at bounce of West Coast and Richmond game on 25th July.

Yeah Owls will not be playing finals.

Kade Kolodjashnij the latest addition to the long injury list.

[Purple 77]

Just sayin, we will welcome back Goddard, Monfries, Stephen Hill and Daniel Wells to come into the Hurricanes whom I think have won 6 in a row now  ;) (Coniglio injured for too long to come back)

Well we are looking done now Walker ruled out for the rest of the year now.
So that makes it Walker and Rosa gone for the year and Sewell pretty much is as well and Hanners who knows when he`ll be back.

Hanners almost certainly back for this round. Was close last week apparently. Sydney play the Hawks in the second week of the split round too, so he's got an extra week anyway. Should be fine. Been monitoring him with interest because of AXVs.  :P

Are we allowed to loophole?

one of the few times you can but it is a risk you take. Nothing in rules to disallow.
