The bullets are real guys, as 5 teams scramble for the little piece of rock known as the #8 seed in the playoffs (nicknamed Stinger's Meat affectionately by the boys in the trenches). Perth Pirates, Noumea Mantas, Lexington Armada, and the Dharma Initiative have officially been eliminated from contention. This week is all about placement.
Fiji Stingers vs Rockhampton Raiders
Raiders currently hold the 8 seed. Prepare for the massacre boys and hope that WSP lays an egg
Stingers by 40+
Brisbane Troyfins vs Noumea Mantas
Luck of the draw gives you time to prepare for the Sharks
BT by 38
WSP vs Perth Pirates
The Pussycats can leapfrog the Raiders with a win. Perth has nothing left to play for this season but pride. Expect them to make WSP fight for it.
WSP by a fg
Guadalcanal Gunners vs Lexington Armada
Gunners prepare to invade the Foxes.
Gunners by 40+
Redcliffe Sharks vs Dharma Initiative
Redcliffe is a bubble team that needs every single win. Dharma is a tough team that just needs another season of experience. They're going to sick the polar bears on them.
Dharma fights but gets purged by 14
Fiji Flying Foxes vs Hamilton Falcons.
Usually Falcons hunt Foxes and other creatures, in this one it's the opposite.
The Foxes dash the Falcons faint playoff hopes by 40+
Newcastle Mountain Lions vs Tasmanian Swarm- With a win the Lions lock up #5. The Swarm will try everything to not let them. Should be a battle to remember.
Lions by 7
--------------------Spotlight Game-------------------------
ASRW vs Devonport Devils
Both teams are solid with good players and great owners/gms.
Devonport played a lot tougher and for longer than I expected and could sneak out with a win if ASRW isn't careful. On the other hand ASRW has the players to make magic happen if given any opening. I'll be watching this game with interest because whoever comes out victorious is going to be the one to watch when the playoffs roll around.
