Game two went as close to script as possible with only one "upset" (Brisbane losing to WSP). This week will have more suspense as four teams that are more evenly matched will battle for supremacy.
----------------Mismatches-------------------
Redcliffe Sharks (11) vs Fiji Stingers (2)
The Stingers should walk away 3-0 easily. Mylo Campbell (HB) should run all over the defense of the sharks. There'll be blood in the water, but it'll be inflicted by the Stingers.
Fiji by 21
WSP (9) vs Noumea Mantas (15)
WSP is trying to scratch it's way into the top 8 and with the talent of Janye Cobb busting heads, should easily walk away with a win.
WSP by 13
Newcastle Mountain Lions (3) vs Brisbane Troyfins (12)
Brisbane is a tease because they look like they can do some damage, and then don't. The Lions are looking for their next meal and Brisbane is it. The starting O-line have accounted for 56 pancakes in 2 games, they should be able to get that total in this one alone.
Lions by 56 pancakes and 38 points
Lexington Armada (16) vs Tasmanian Swarm (7)
The Swarm may be on a roll. They should be able to engulf the Armada and sink it without mercy. Luckily for Lexington there's no relegation because that's the course they're headed on.
Tasmania by 21
------------------Games of Interest----------------
Perth Pirates (14) vs Devonport Devils (13)
This is a must win game for both of these clubs that are sliding fast into the pit. The Devils have more upside but haven't played to expectations, while the Pirates have put up a fight but lack the talent to compete with the higher level clubs. Whoever loses this one is in serious trouble.
Devils finally show some afterlife, win by 10
Hamilton Falcons (10) vs Dharma Initiative (8)
This early season game has playoff implications for both teams. The Falcons need to win this game to climb into the playoff picture, Dharma needs to win to stay there. This game will swing on how well the Dharma defensive robots perform.
Human Falcons by 6
Rockhampton Raiders (6) vs Guadalcanal Gunners (4)
The Raiders have 2 stars in QB Jerry Dorsey and HB Dinglebert Wangledack but are they enough for a balanced Gunners squad? I'm biased because I own the Gunners, but I think we'll shut them down hard.

-------------------Spotlight Game--------------
ASRW (5) vs Fiji Flying Foxes (1)
ASRW runs into a early season test in the Foxes. This will show how they measure up to the best of Zeta. The Wallabies will be tested on both sides of the ball, stop Speedy Wonder Hb from dominating on the ground and to prevent Travis Stratford DE from getting to Kenye West QB. If they can do one of the two AND Kenye has a stellar game then the ASRW have a chance to pull off this major upset. The Flying Foxes just have to do what they've been doing so far and not turn the ball over.
