1. Taylor- Won a ho hum game now sitting at 4-0. The next game will be interesting. Last time these teams played in season 7, Trilla won 34-31. I expect a similar game.
2. Danish- Not sure what to make of them yet. They struggled even more than I expected with Siracusa. More than Port moresby did. But, they won, so I will not penalize them for a close win, but, 2 nail biters already this season makes me wonder how many times they can squeeze out a win. Siracusa had the ball at their 17 when time ran out.
3. Port Moresby- Dispatched Guam with ease and now have the McNuggets who just knocked off Bendigo. The last time these teams met was not even close as the McNuggets got levelled. The McNuggets have improved dramatically, but, Port moresby is finding its stride with the running attack and has not had to open up the passing game yet.
4. Michelin Men- Won against an improving Telstar team. now they have upstart Cobden. Definately need the wins now before a tough stretch late in the season. They may be the best team to have moved up from A.
5. McNuggets get a bump for a win over previously undefeated Bendigo. Now they want retribution on Port Moresby and to knock off another undefeated.
6A. Bendigo- Their loss was to a solid team and they have played well thus far. Now a game with the Knights who are starting a 3 game top level opponent stretch.
6B- Trilla- They have a chance to jump a huge amount with a win over Taylor, but, lets not get ahead of ourselves. They have to play the game.
8. Siracusa- I know. people will look at this and go huh? How are they ahead of teams with better records. Simple. Siracusa has had the hardest early season schedule and has stayed competitive in EVERY game. This team is better than some people think and wont agree with me putting them here, but, by seasons end, they will be playing for a playoff spot regardless of their current record.
9.Cobden- Their loss was not a bad loss, but, their wins have not been impressive. They get the Men this week, so we will find out if they are a real playoff threat or not. The last time they played the Men, Cobden won. Lets see if the Men remember that.
10. Knights- Won a must win game, but, I cant get that thrashing by the Michelin Men out of my head. The next 3 weeks, Bendigo, Port Moresby, & Danish, could be their undoing.
11. Shrooms- Tough loss again and that makes 2 in a row. Telstar doesnt look like a pushover now either.
12. Telstar- Seems to improve each week. The next 4 games will truly be a test for this team. Rev will have them ready.
13-16
Puerto Rico
Australian
Guam
Suva
Gonna be a long season for these 4 teams.
