Warrior General Games

Clinched Playoff Berth:
1 Future Llamas of America 14-0 *Seed Locked*
2 Sacred Haven Knights 11-2-1
3 GERMAN WILDDOGS 11-2-1
4 Sunshine Coast Condors 11-3
5 Nottingham Hoods 9-5

Contenders:
6 Lincoln Breeze 8-6
7 Sandersville WarChickens 7-6-1
8 Saipan Storm 7-7

On The Bubble
9 South Sydney Rabid Rabbitohs 6-7-1
10 Hawthorn Headhunters 6-7-1
11 Jamaican Souljahs 6-8
12 Berlin Devine Right 6-8

Mathematically Eliminated:
13 Solomon Islands Pack 4-9-1
14 Redcliff Razamanaz 2-12
15 Phoenix Eagles 1-13
16 Wellington Assassins 0-14

Hoods look o.k. so far but have a very tough run in.

I really wanted the Condors to turn you guys over just so I could tell my lot how we were in the drivers seat for a play off home game, no matter how briefly it would have lasted.

For my money the top 5 spots are sewn up and I think the top 4 now will be the top 4 at the end of the season, but probably not in the same order.

With all due respect to Redcliff & Solomon Islands, I dont see them in the post-season mix.

And for the rest, my predictions are:

Sandersville 8-6-1 going into their last game. They should be OK.
Saipan have a potential playoff decider against Lincoln. If they win it, 9-7 & in.
Lincoln gotta beat Saipan & Jamaica to break even & stand a chance.
Souljahs have 2 crunch games away to Lincoln & Sydney: win both & they make it. One W might do.
Berlin's big games are Hawthorn & Sandersville. 2 wins = 8-8
Rabitohs can make it with wins against Solomon & Jamaica. That half a game might come in useful.
Hawthorn are a puzzle. Why they are where they are, I dont know. If they win out, its 9-7.


Of course I could be talking outta my hole, but as I'm on a roll with my predictions I figure why not...?

Good luck to all - except our weekly enemy.

Heff.

Remaining matchups for the Future Llamas of America (1st)

at Sandersville WarChickens (6th)
GERMAN WILDDOGS (2nd)

at Lexington Armada (16th ZETA)

They should be at least 3-1 and finish with 15-1 or better.


Remaining matchups for the German Wilddogs (2nd)

Nottingham Hoods (5th)
at Future Llamas of America (1st)
Berlin Devine Right (12th)
Guadalcanal Gunners (1st ZETA)

They could loose two of the final four games playing twice the #1. Should finish 12-3-1 or better.


Remaining matchups for the Sunshine Coast Condors (3rd)

Saipan Storm (7th)
at Nottingham Hoods (5th)
Future Llamas of America (1st)
Devonport Devils (4th ZETA)

Remaining matchups for the Nottingham Hoods (5th)

at GERMAN WILDDOGS (2nd)
Sunshine Coast Condors (3rd)
at Lincoln Breeze (8th)

Remaining matchups for the Sandersville WarChickens (6th)

Future Llamas of America (1st)
at Berlin Devine Right (12th)

at Sunshine Coast Condors (3rd)
Lincoln Breeze (8th)
at Redcliff Razamanaz (14th)
at Wollongong Shaved Pussycats (13th ZETA)

Remaining matchups for the Lincoln Breeze (8th)

Jamaican Souljahs (11th)
at Saipan Storm (7th)
Nottingham Hoods (5th)
Alice Springs Rock Wallabies (6th ZETA)

SWC 9-6-1
SS 8-8
???

Just a wee note the Hoods are currently 9-3 and I agree with your projections that we will end up 2-2 or 3-1 for our last four games, leaving us 11-5 or 12-4.

I think you've awarded us a tie somewhere that we don't currently have.

You were right. My bad...C&P messed up.

Although I'd take a tie right now against you guys.

Nice input BTW, its good to see peoples opinions on our Conference

Guys, here's my 2 cents, but I think in this case it is valuable. Y'all are forgetting about the Headhunters!

08/26/2008 (15 Alpha) Phoenix Eagles
08/28/2008 (13 Alpha) Solomon Islands Pack
08/30/2008 (16 Alpha) at Wellington Assassins
09/01/2008 (09 Zeta) at Rockhampton Raiders

We are favored in all 4 games, and I am guaranteeing that we win our next 3. I expect also to win the 4th, but Rockhampton won't be easy unlike our next 3. I expect to end the season 9-7 and be the #6 seed.

Not me coach05, I looked through the Conference earlier and I fully expect the Headhunters to be there come playoffs.

Heffmeister didnt forgot about the HH! You could say that I did, but I only referenced to the current top 8. As you see my #8 is empty and if you can really make #6 Ill be fine with it

Wow...that was a very close one!! But they should be going confident into upcoming matches with this result. Hence they lost a PO seat for this weak.

at Sunshine Coast Condors (3rd) W20-24
Lincoln Breeze (8th)
at Redcliff Razamanaz (14th)

Very nice win over the Condors...now they could go 4-0 if they win the final three matchups and secure the PO spot.


Remaining matchups for the Lincoln Breeze (improved from 8th to 7rd)

Jamaican Souljahs (11th) W26-14
at Saipan Storm (7th)
Nottingham Hoods (5th)
Alice Springs Rock Wallabies (6th ZETA)

Tough schedule to clinch the final PO spot.
Important win for the Souljahs...not to think if theyd lost. They still need to fight to stay on a PO seat.

South Sydney Rabid Rabbitohs now at 8th with a win over the Island Pack.

(I will do the standings later)

OP updated

good write up... trust me, we are keeping our eyes peeled to the competitions in front of us.

I think the Warchickens are a better team than they are given credit for. It appeared they did a good job of gameplanning for us watching the replays... or we did a poor job of gameplanning for them. Either way, they play tough, and I am not looking forward to hitting them in the playoffs.
