(2) Macedonian Wolves - 139 average @ (7) English Lions - 138 average
What a big game, the Wolves sitting in second spot but with 4 teams ready to overtake if they slip up they must win. On the other side the lions are 1 game back from the top 4 and 1 game inside the 8. A win and top 4 is a chance, a loss and they might miss finals. Wolves have probably the all round better team and have HGA but, the lions have Titchell so if if Titch goes huge its anybody's game.
My Tip: Lions win by HGA - incidentally last year i tipped Wolves by HGA i was wrong last year as Wolves won, will i be a wrong again.
(3) Belgian Bashers - 144 average & (1) Iceland Polar Bears - 139 average
I have been looking forward to this game for a very long time. Iceland are the clear number 1 on the ladder but the Bashers think they are the best team in the comp. No matter what at the end of the week Iceland will still be ahead on the ladder but if the bashers win i think they prove they are the team to beat. Last year the bashers won by 30+ points but Iceland is a brand new team.
My Tip: Exact same as last year You have to go Bashers but Iceland make it competitive with a 5-10 point loss"
(6) Greek Titans - 136 average & (9) Serbian Eagles - 130 average
Greece is in the group that are pushing for the top 4 and are in good form, Serbia basically have their season on the line which again is exactly the spot they where in last year.
My Tip: Last year I tipped Serbia to win with their season on the line and HGA pulled them across. This year Greece has HGA and i think they end the Eagles season.
(8) Svalbard Valkyries - 137 average @ (12) Belarus Bison - 129 average
The valks need this game bad to give themselves breathing space from Serbia and Russia, The Bison are playing for pride at this point even though they have been putting up good scores each week. How close this game is will probably come down to Treloar's health as he is a chance of missing this week.
My Tip: Last year i tipped a close win to the Valks and the Bison didnt show up, if Treloar doesnt show up i think we will see a repeat.
(10) Russian Roulettes - 127 average @ (13)Croatian Crushers - 121 average
Russia need this win to stand any chance of making finals, The Crushers just need to get healthy to give their coach some hope. Sloane may be back and thats a huge boost to morale.
My Tip: I think Russia have too much fire power at home, but i expect the Crushers to put up a respectable score in sadly another loss.
(4) Hungarian Hulks - 139 average @ ( 5) Swiss Storm - 138 average.
Another huge game with both teams locked on 6 wins, Both teams are capable of posting huge scores and then having off days so this will be a really interesting game.
My Tip: Hulks embarrassed themselves last year this year with HGAi tip them to win in a close one
11) Spanish Stallions - 129 average @ (14) Swedish Metal - 119 average
Spain knocked out a top 4 team last week and now have a new Queen so there is strong positive momentum that they new coach will want to maintain. Sweden will struggle to win many games this year but Spain on an off day is certainly beatable.
My Tip: last year Stallions had Docherty and that was the difference, this year they dont but they are a better squad they should win this and go 2 straight.

Cameron ahh chee and Spargo are out and there are plenty of available guys for the bench. I have made the one off decision to fix this team up for this week only as its an important game given its 2 bottom 4 clubs.
I have named Mathieson to replace cameron. I have moved Daicos to the fwd line to replace spargo and I have named Hill on the utility spot as he is an obvious utility. I have droped ahchee for ballard. I have also filled out the bench as there are many options to choose from.

Sorry scrads too late. Full lockout friday night.
Results?
Quote from: LF on July 03, 2018, 08:49:04 PM
Results?
Out tomorrow at lunch. Im moving houses again.
Im keen to see how the ladder shapes up.
(2) Macedonian Wolves - 139 average @ (7) English Lions - 138 average
My Tip: Wolves win by HGA
Result: Wolves 136 lost to Lions 151 - I was wrong Lions won on the back of a monster from Titch
(3) Belgian Bashers - 144 average & (1) Iceland Polar Bears - 139 average
My Tip: Exact same as last year You have to go Bashers but Iceland make it competitive with a 5-10 point loss"
Result: Bashers 148 defeated Iceland 124 - bigger win they i though, was due to captain Fyfe injury
(6) Greek Titans - 136 average & (9) Serbian Eagles - 130 average
My Tip: Last year I tipped Serbia to win with their season on the line and HGA pulled them across. This year Greece has HGA and i think they end the Eagles season.
Result: Titan 130 defeated Serbia 123 - Titans have indeed ended Serbia's season.
(8) Svalbard Valkyries - 137 average @ (12) Belarus Bison - 129 average
My Tip: Last year i tipped a close win to the Valks and the Bison didnt show up, if Treloar doesnt show up i think we will see a repeat.
Result: Valks 149 lost to Bison 156 - Treloar was out but it didnt matter, Valks will feel hard done by losing with a good score.
(10) Russian Roulettes - 127 average @ (13)Croatian Crushers - 121 average
My Tip: I think Russia have too much fire power at home, but i expect the Crushers to put up a respectable score in sadly another loss.
Result: Russia 140 def Crushers 128 - spot on Crushers lose but promising signs as has been the case all year
(4) Hungarian Hulks - 139 average @ ( 5) Swiss Storm - 138 average.
My Tip: Hulks embarrassed themselves last year this year with HGAi tip them to win in a close one
Result: Hulks 128 lost to Storm 142 - Hulks embarrassed themselves again but this time by not having enough healthy players
11) Spanish Stallions - 129 average @ (14) Swedish Metal - 119 average
My Tip: last year Stallions had Docherty and that was the difference, this year they dont but they are a better squad they should win this and go 2 straight.
Result: Spain 124 def Swedish Metal 118: New Coach MP gets her first win on the board in a controversial Match.
Best score of the week! Bison are back!
