It was pretty much the top eight versus the bottom eight this round in the Premier League and most of the top sides got the job done. A couple who didn't were the suddenly out of form Ben Rolfsburgers who got rolled by a Q Man who is like me at a BBQ when there are beers left in the tub...he won't go away wondering. The big boilover was Squeakeroos' fine victory over Underdogs who I can't ever seem to tip correctly. I might just tip the Dogs every week because I need a few top eight teams to fall over to get back into this comp after the Longwood Lions were too good for me last weekend.
You can almost pick by looking at the scores who had Todd Goldstein althought Nic Nat didn't score all that much more than big Cox which would have been the standard back up option for us Goldy owners. I wouldn't mind Goldy missing against the Cats but not so for SuperCoach purposes. Richo Richo won yet again and Ecky took over top spot after smashing out an impressive score. Poon Army is back in town and he took advantage of the vagaries of the draw to get right back into finals contention with the teams immediately behind the Army taking a hit.
Meahwhile how lucky is Hondo? Another narrow win and a crucial loss for Has Been who has gone from premiership fancy to being down there in REB territory...how the mighty have fallen. But Has Been haven't fallen as hard as Corky who look to be about 150 points off the pace each week. With Squeaky firing up and the SHARKS being at least competitive it's going to take a big effort here from Cork in the Ocean to avoid relegation. Last year teams that won six went down!
