Hogg rookie CJ Miller has proven himself to be the Matty Rowell of the Hogg as he tops the Piglet and Division IV in his first season and is currently sitting 7th in scoring for the Hogg. It's been a truly remarkable debut season and The Wizard Sleeves will take some stopping this season. However, after that wrap, there is an even better side in Division IV in Crowvid19 who is ranked 5th in the Hogg. While everyone else has been affected by Covid, Crowvid certainly has not been and they are the side that is the best scorer in this league. It's a real battle between these top two sides to see who will win this premiership. Crowvid has a tough run home though against the main contenders Star Midfield, Cathy's Cream and the Sleeves in the last round. As mentioned Star Midfield is another strong contender but they will be strongly pressed by HereComeTheSuns, Cathy's Cream and GETOUTOFTHEWAY so there are seven sides worthy of promotion. I reckon the Suns and GETOUT aren't quite consistent enough so Star Midfield and Cathy's Cream are my tips to go up to Divvy III next season.
The finals are almost set here in Divvy IV. You can make a case for the Red Devils but probably not so Brodlach who has been looking like he's about to get in before suffering another set back. UnrealisticAttempt isn't scoring enough but the Cobwebs on their day are dangerous. Robquad remain one of the most puzzling sides in the Hogg - they can beat the best teams but fall in a heap against teams which they should beat. With type of formline behind them, no finals for rd this year. StevefromGuidance has shown signs in recent weeks but the slow start to the season from Guidance will probably cost them a finals berth.
A few teams can be penciled in for relegation already. The bottom three will not be in Division IV next season and I think Chokin Tuna might get the drop as well after a pretty poor scoring season so far. I can't see Tuna overhauling Guidance or putting the heat on those sides who are currently 4-4. Perhaps the only side who is 4-4 who might be in the relgation frame is UnrealisticAttempt who have had some issues with their team this year.
