The main changes are in the 6-9 seeds like predicted. Melbourne loses to Sack Sabbath whom many teams in the rankings have beaten.
Gridiron was smothered by Auckland in a game that the Titans only had to muster 1 punt. The lack of defense is concerning, but I still went with Gridiron at the #8 seed.
Of course those Phoenixes are finally ranked, through good consistant play and a solid built roster they are looking primed for the playoffs. This week they play Auckland who looks to knockdown another road playoff team to solidify their rankings. After comparing each team, its going to go either way but I think the Phoenixes have the edge in this one because of the match up.
1) Samoa Flying Foxes
2) Micronesia Megalodons
3) Cleveland Dawg Pound
4) Hamilton Hellcats
5) Wollongong Hammers
6) Auckland Titans
7) Hawaii Phoenixes
8) Gridiron Gladiators
-------------------------
9) Melbourne Predators
The rest in no particular order
Sack Sabbath
Sidney Vicious
Sydney Sharks
Gold Coast Vipers
South Lions
Talon Bay Privateers
Hawaii Islanders
