The " I told you they are not a 1-3 team" Game
Siracusa vs Suva
After an early season schedule facing top teams and keeping every game close, Siracusa catches an easier part of the schedule and will take out 3 games worth of frustration on Suva.

The " We are getting better every week" Game
Telstar Vs Shrooms
Rev has his team moving in the right direction. Even in the loss to the men, they made it a tough game. The Shrooms have dropped 2 in a row and I am getting a funny feeling, Telstar makes it 3 Ls in a row for the Shrooms.

The " Not sure what happened, but, this game wont help" Game
Guam vs Danish
I keep waiting for Guam to be Guam and get better. SO far that has not happened and it wont start against Danish.

The " Is one win better than none" Game
Puerto Rico vs Aussies
In this case it is. Ill take the Coquis past and assume they get it together against the winless Aussies.

The " Almost there, but, not quite" Game
Cobden Vs Michelin Men
TRhe last time these teams played, Cobden won. But, that was season 7 and the Men have made some improvements. I expect a VERY close game early, but, the Men to pull away late. Cobden is a solid team and at the top of the second tier, but, so far, the Men are solidly in the top tier.

The " So we lost One...Just One" Game
Bendigo Vs Norfolk
Bendigos loss was a close one to the McNuggets. The Knights got ripped by the michelin Men. bendigo has the better loss so Ill take them to win this tight game.

Game of the week
Taylor Vs Trilla
Taylor has me puzzled because I know they are good, but, How good? Close win over Cobden, the rest blowouts.
Trillas one loss is to Danish but they let Suva score 22 points and roll up 400 yards on them. The last time these teams played was in Season 7 and Trilla won 35-31. As much as I like both of these teams, I think that trend holds and Trilla knocks Taylor out of the unbeaten ranks.

The RESPECT game
McNuggets vs Port Moresby
OK, simply put, Respect is earned not given. Last time these two played in season 7 resulted in an 87-17 disaster for the McNuggets. They have improved. Improved enough to be demanding respect and rightfully so after beating Bendigo. But, again, it is earned not given. And they wont do enough to earn it this week. They are better than 87-17, but, not quite there yet. PM wins this game.

Great write again!! I beg to differ about your Game of the Week result but that's why it's your POV and Taylor isn't the same team we were last season!

Taylor is not the same team at all. But, Trilla gameplans as well as anyone in this league and they definately still have the chops to beat Taylor. I think this game will be VERY close and the last team with the ball may be the winner.

Of course you'll pick your own team....The teams you've beaten are a combined 1-15. Your respect will be earned if you can beat us.

Right now I would not pick my team over Taylor or Danish and I would think the Michelin Men would be a toss up. So what if the teams we beat are 1-15. Thats the way the schedule rolls out. Ask Siracusa how the schedules can suck. And FWIW, Siracusa is better than some of the 3-1 teams(Yours included). They just got a lousy opening schedule but hung tough with EVERY team they have played.
You beat a VERY good Bendigo team, but I am not sold Bendigo did their best gameplanning for that game. At least from watching the game it looked like they did some things different. And they still played well.
Simply put, one thing you will see from us you have not seen from other teams and not many do it, is a physical, deep line, and a running game that will wear you down. You wont stop Keak. Ill man up and eat crow after the game if I am wrong on this, but, Keak gets over 150 yards and Port Moresby wins by 30.

Great job again. I hope you continue to pick our games correctly until you pick us to lose at which time I hope you are no longer correct. Thanks Rever for the GCMM and good luck to all tonight. That goes for even you CP. Have you googled buggery yet?

GO GCMM!!!
