So this round is brought to you by The kiss of death



Wolves Vs the Thunder
Well what can i say, obviously the wolves are going to falter in this one, and if Ablett with a resting bonus cannot get it done then zero chance this week. The thunder will be just too strong in this one and i have a great reason why



Magpies vs Tigers
The tigers are travelling along nicely, I’m sure Rico and ele are feeling quite confident over this one. But Seoul have that super midfield to lead them all the way to victory, plus a tiger is scary but who doesn't hate seeing this coming at you



Islanders vs Destroyers
Dublin have had their struggles this season with injury we all have heard about this. The Islanders got hit big before the season started with Titch out but too their credit they have still managed to be ahead of the destroyers. But for mine the destroyers in this encounter



Jaguars vs Brewers
So the brewers look like the real deal this season, despite a close loss last round, really most would be forgiven for thinking that was a simple case of bad luck and a small blip in an otherwise ladder topping season so far, but not me oh no I see the Jags brining the brewers undone, I feel this is perfectly said with the gif below


(I realize it is a cougar but never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn in this case gif haha)

Cobras vs Revolution
Well this is an interesting one, the cobras were travelling along nicely but have had couple of rounds now that show they have fallen back to earth scoring wise compared to the big boys, which I feel spells trouble as RD has done a fine job in his rebuild of the Revs and yet still managing to put up suck great scores, (last round excluded) Revs will take this one home



Spetsnaz vs Samurai
Moscow hey? Wow top 4 and that is without dochers the heart and soul of the team, amazing job done so far this season and hats off to them. Sadly they will be sliced in two by the Samurai this week as they look to take the victory in the name of their honor




Armadillos vs Suns
OoooooOO Match of the Round, Why you ask? Well of all the teams this one is neck and neck on the ladder, on the blue corner we have the dillos, opposing in the red corner we have the suns
Very close one here both have some young starts putting up some good numbers and very hard to split, but for me the sun shall rise



Royals vs Saints
2 weeks ago we’d all feel comfortable backing in the royals with some great form showing in the first 4 rounds, sadly the old troubles reared up last week to remind everyone they are prone to a shocker every now and then, Now it is time for the saints to capitalize on this recent poor form and get back on an even zero for points for the season, and then we will all be on the saints bandwagon



Sands vs Reindeers
Well for the final match of the round we have the Cairo boys who have just amazed the league in how they are going, with what seemed to be a shockingly hard start to the season on paper they have taken in their stride and layed wasted to those that opposed them, on the other hand we have the struggling reindeers who frankly are lucky to even still be in the idol contest at this stage really there is no reason to back this mob at all. Guess what? Reindeers for the victory as the sands become dust in the wind





Well there you have it folks the kiss of death has spoken and remember with these tips






(note not as good as purps to be honest after looking at preview pretty shabby haha, but thought i'd go for something different and lend a hand)

ATTACK!!!!

[upthemaidens]

Beware the injured beast.   Hopefully the boys can keep up recent form, a win could see us sneak into the 8 for the first time this season.
