1. Taylor- Started at #1 and remain there until someone beats them. Closer game with Cobden than I am sure they would have liked, but, they won. Easier week upcoming and then a war with Trilla week 5.
2. Danish- They stay right where they were and probably will for a while. After the game with Trilla in week 2, Their season is backloaded with the top teams, so if Taylor falters early Danish will be there to grab the top spot.
3. Port Moresby- Dispatched a solid siracusa team who always plays us tough. Little bit of an easier time in week 4 before a game with the McNuggets.
4. Michelin Men- Destroyed the Knights . Must have not liked my commentary about them not winning convincingly enough. Point taken guys. Nice win. My only concern for you guys would be you have Taylor week 7 and then from 9-13 have 5 of the top teams all in a row. Get your wins now because you wont go unblemished through that stretch.
5. Bendigo- Another close one won and a couple of tough ones on the horizon. Keep winning the tough games and you guys are going to stay in the top tier.
6. McNuggets- Beat a solid team today and their loss was a one pointer at the hands of an undefeated team. Well done fellas. The next 3 games will set the table on your season. 3 undefeated teams in a row is an opportunity to prove yourselves even more.
7. Trilla- Trilla slammed the Aussies as expected. Off week against Suva before a chance to knock off Taylor...And I have a feeling Taylor better be ready for Trilla because Trilla will be ready for Taylor.
8. Cobden- Due to the CLOSE loss to Taylor, I move them up due to quality of the loss they had. Solid team, but, they were in the game. Easier week 4 but then a 5 game murderers row. That will determine their season.
9a.Shrooms- Ouch fellas. I thought they would have issues with the McNuggets, and they did. Just dont think they are quite ready for this level yet. Couple of easier games coming up, but, if this game was an indication of how they match up with the better, more experienced teams, it will be tough later in the season when they have them all in a row. Better get your wins now.
9b- Norfolk- same comments for them as the Shrooms got. At least the two of them play in week 4 so they get teams of equal level. After that the Shrooms have time to recover but Norfolk has Bendigo, Port Moresby, and Danish all in a row. Gonna have to find a way to win a game somewhere in there or it could be a long season. Come on guys. You were here last season. Time to represent.
10. Siracusa- Still the best 1-2 team and maybe better than a few teams ahead of them. Stayed close with 2 undefeated teams and have Danish in week 4. Even if they lose that, they can still get things going with an easier late season schedule and make a playoff push. Some teams will underestimate them by not considering the quality of their losses and will pay for that.
11. Telstar gets the nod here due to beating the Coquis. The next 4 games are too much for them until they get to Suva. Nice win though in this game and I can see some progress here. They might surprise someone late in the season.
12- Puerto Rico- Guys, what has happened. not the same team I recall that started slow, but, at least played the top teams tough. Hopefully they will get things together.
Bottom 3
13-Guam
14- Aussies
15- Suva- Guys maybe it was just rotten luck ono the schedule but getting 3 of the top teams early on sucks for a younger team. It gets better. Hang in there.
