Rivalry Round! No HGA for either team.
Ladder getting very interesting so far this season, and there looks to be quite a few must win games for some teams this week!
Also, loving another week of regular Friday-->Sunday games ;D
Fixture:
(https://i.gyazo.com/5db118f237520fae9a9092f154a92a9a.png)
Giants vs Rams: Two of the lower finishing teams of last year, with the Giants and Rams finishing 16th and 14 respectively. Both of these teams have traded and drafted well in the off-season, and have shown some good improvement because of that. One does wonder though, if coach Nige maybe overdid it a touch in his fire-sale of defenders? In particular, trading away Dylan Roberton. These teams now sit 13th and 14th, with the Rams the one game ahead, however the Giants have actually outscored them so far this season. There hasn't been a lot that has split them each week, and this should be a really good and even contest. Giants for me in a thriller!
Badgers vs Knights: There's been a bit of history between these 2 coaches. Both started their coaching jobs in the BXVs system within about a month of each other, and the rivalry has been quite fierce ever since. They both shared an apprenticeship at the Cairo Sands, more formally known as Karen, in the WXVs comp, before leaving to both take over the Cape Town Cobras at the end of 2016. They also work together in both of the Americas comps, and have been for a fair bit of time now. So, what does this all mean? Whoever gets beaten in this won't hear the end of it for at least a year! With the Knights being so disappointing for the most part of this season, it's hard to see them getting close to the Badgers in this one. Badgers to get a nice percentage booster I'd say in The Waterfront Cup, in Missy's 50th!
Hurricanes vs Magic: The team that has consistently delivered each year, up against the team that has consistently promised and yet failed to deliver each year. However, if you look at their form over the last month, the Magic have been very impressive, not dropping under 2300 in that period. And it's no secret that their superstar captain Rory Sloane has been a big part of this form. The rivalry between these two teams arguably stems from the WXVs comp, between the Spetsnaz and the Dillos. The Hurricanes still sit undefeated, and the Magic have managed to work themselves up to 5th position, sitting outside of the top 4 by percentage alone, having just dropped the one match this season so far (and in round 1 no less). I'm expecting a high scoring affair here, and if Sloaney can deliver again for the Magic...an upset could be on the cards to deliver the Hurricanes their first loss of the season. Will stick with the 'Canes for now though!
Hoods vs Steins: Is this a rivalry, or a friendship? Who knows really. As soon as nas got the gig for the Steins at the end of last year, LF was the first to ask for this rivalry game, so maybe it is a bit of both? The Hoods and the Steins are both quite young teams who were looking for a lot of improvement to start of 2017. One of these teams has shown that, and the other hasn't. Unfortunately for the Hoods, a combination of injuries and under-performing premiums has seen them holding up the rest of the ladder, as the only remaining winless team. The Steins however have shown a lot, especially in the first few rounds, but have dropped off since losing star ruckman Max GAWNNNNNN. They were able to challenge the Hurricanes last week though, and if they can bring that same effort and intensity to this week's rivalry clash, they will walk away with the 4 points. Steins for me.
Dragons vs Hedgies: Ah, I can't wait for this one. The rivalry between the Dragons and the Hedgies started as a friendly one when TDog took over the Hedgehogs, having worked with Dragons coach kb in XVs comps over the years. But everything changed when the fire nation attacked Koop was appointed as the new head coach at Hebden Bridge. These two have a very strong rivalry in the Americas SC comp due to a, uh, disagreement (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,107792.msg1810224.html#msg1810224) of sorts.
See here: http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,103723.msg1810226.html#msg1810226
I expect nothing but the best of banter between these two coaches in the lead up to this weekend's game, and for the years to come. With McVeigh a possible in for the Hedges backline, he could give them that extra bit of stability in their team, but Greene and Mullett both out will hurt even more, so the Dragons get my tip.
Bunnies vs Hawks: I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting this from the Bunnies for another year or two! They currently sit 6th on the ladder at 4-2, coming off a 2500+ score against the Rams last weekend! The return of Hurley and Ryder after suspensions, the drafting of SPS and Kennedy, the emergence of Zac Jones, the return of Heeney and Murphy from injury (both this year and last), among other thigns, has seen them looking very very good for the future. And who knows, that could end up being as soon as finals this year. The Hawks have been very up and down, and had a devastating loss against the Giants in round 6 to have them just hanging inside the 8 still. On recent form, you have to back the Bunnies here. However, I just feel like the Hawks are going to come together and click at any minute...and it might just be this week when they need it most. Hawks by the smallest of margins.
Werewolves vs Owls: It's finally here, the 2016 BXVs GRAND FINAL REMATCH. I feel like Randy from South Park atm. The Werewolves, who have been right up there every single year, and who have been through so much disappointment, up against the reigning premiers in the Owls, who almost came out of nowhere early on in the 2016 season. They sit 4th and 7th respectively, after the Owls dropped off a bit over the last few weeks, losing 3 of their last 4 matches, in comparison to the Werewolves who have lost just the one. All signs point to this being the highest scoring match of the round, and I'd be shocked if it wasn't an absolute ripper. Will Rusty get his revenge after losing the Grand Final last year to Vinny? Or will the Owls be the ones smiling after the match yet again? I think I'll back the current in-form team in the Werewolves, who have DELIVERED EVERY SINGLE WEEK.
Breakers vs Leeches: Our last match of rivalry round, both of these teams were very evenly poised last year. Since then, however, we have seen the Breakers take a step back, sitting 12th on the ladder after making finals last year. And we have their rivals from Leeds, absolutely demolishing opponents left and right, 2nd on the ladder, just the 1 loss, and the highest points scored for the season to date. I'll be honest, it's hard to see the Breakers getting close here. To make things worse for Breakers coach Ringo, his request for 2 extra players in this game has been rejected by assistant admin GoLions. So, knowing this, I'll have to go with the Leeches in a massive win, and consolidating their top 2 spot on the ladder.

Hence why I listed him with my other outs, Beams and Conca.
First Greene, then Mullett, now Weller added to the growing list of outs. Seems that the footy Gods want KB to win.
Not that I mind though, probably the only thing KB will achieve at all this year so a sympathy handout is okay with me. :p

Should have given me Parker or Neale or Dusty or Greene tbqh. Or even all 4 :P
Meanwhile, Badgers could be welcoming back Matty Boyd and Rhys BEASTMODE Mathieson, along with Libba recovered from his concussion last week. Brad Scheer also will be some handy mid depth, making his debut for the Suns this week 8)

But everything changed when the fire nation attacked Koop was appointed as the new head coach at Hebden Bridge. These two have a very strong rivalry in the Americas SC comp due to a, uh, disagreement (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,107792.msg1810224.html#msg1810224) of sorts.

Haha that's absolute flowered. Knights went huge as well! Badgers are cooked :P
Hurricanes got even worse after a sub par week last week. Lucky to get the win again, dont think we can get this lucky a third time if we play like this. Forward line is horrible.
Far out Bunnies, did it with a captain of only 210 as well, super performance from every single player!

Next week they are ;) Hurricanes to bounce back!
i'm so pissed at Hall might not play him this week out of spite
To lose by so little with Sloaney's performance...not happy.

Yep! Easily the one im most confident in to score well. Although not too much competition with Stringer, Matera and Cyril...
Haha, wow. All you need now is for Joel Smith to come back in and then you have your core back!
5th highest score for week and still beaten. Can not take a trick this year.
None of your issues are as bad as having an OOP mid.
Bradford are shower. #percentagegain
