Round 14 Review

Crunchers v Hooders
Crunchers won this tough slog by 5 points, putting them in the 5 last finals spot. Hooders is still in contention, but need his players to fire up in the last 4 weeks of the season to ensure they are in contention for the premiership again.

Losers v Farts
Farts got up by 10 points, which was flattering to Losers. Farts are only half a game out of the final spot. Losers are yet to really perform at all this year, and have struggled. Farts have been up and down, but need to come home strong to be sure of finals.

Tendulkars v Black and Blue
Black and Blue win comfortably by 20 points, in the fizzer of the round - Much stronger performance expected from Tendulkars, and he has responded by savaging his players in the media. Only time will tell if this is a wise strategy. I dont want to say it, but he's only one and a half games ahead of 5th place, so he might have to motivate his team to make finals again this year.

Duckings v Keatsters
Huge match by Ducklings, with Keatsters scoring the second highest score, it still wasnt enough, losing by a massive 48 points. Keatsters was hurt by Harvey's hamstring injury, and the decision to leave M Voss (34 posessions, 138 points) out realy hurt. Ducklings really have come out and put themselves in premiership contention.

Curly v Alex
Curly smashed Alex by 27 points, with Curly in 8th place, but find themselves only 1 game out of the top 5.

The competition is squeezing up, with only the top 3 assured of finals, and top 8 teams are still a shot at the finals. Only 4 weeks to go!
