I'm going to give my preview for round 2, for the Zeta conference, and I've asked Fulchalin to do the Alpha preview. I would do both, but I really need to spend some time looking at film of Brisbane, and Fulchalin also does such a great job with his write ups, that I know his take on the Alpha conference would be greatly appreciated!!!! So let's get started.....
#2 Sumatra Sea Hawks vs #3 Kalgoorlie Gold Rush
It's a classic #2 vs #3.....although in this game, it's a bit skewed, because the #3 Gold Rush lost badly in the regular season, to #4 AREC, which lost badly to #2 Sumatra also, in the regular season. But then again..this is the playoffs, and anything is possible!
But just like in their regular season game, I think Sumatra will come away with the victory. The Sea Hawks have impressive depth on both sides of the ball, and I don't think the Gold Rush's thin offensive line can do the job against the stout Sumatra defense. Unless the offensive coaches at Kalgoorlie can come up with a better offensive gameplan, I don't expect them to score much more than 10 points, which is what they scored in their last meeting with Sumatra.
My prediction........Sumatra 40, Kalgoorlie 14
Coming up next, a preview of the AREC vs Brisbane game!!! But first a quick commercial from our sponsors....
