Cott v Neddies
The Neddies juggernaught is gaining momentum and I expect them to get home just.
Paddy Dellit must have either eaten a large slice of humble pie or been given a large slice out of Richards wallet to be welcomed back into the fold after telling the hierarchy he no longer wanted to play club rugby 2 weeks ago.
Cott will miss Force hooker Robbie Abel after getting himself suspended for 5 weeks for the overnight youtube sensation incident that went viral.Will be disappointed in himself because he is one helluva nice guy and I mean that.
The leaked E-mail that everyone read regarding Mitchell Scott and the Cott enticement machine will add a bit more spice to the game.

Soaks v Wests
Another close one where Wests have finally discovered how to win the tight ones and will get home.
There is a perception that Soaks tight 5 are a bit cream puff like and if you whack in our mob that's a lot of diary product to be on the field at any one time.
Wests welcome back angry Anderson into the midfield after a 14 month injury layoff and will be the first time he plays with younger even angrier bro Hayden Anderson, Zack Holmes better choose the correct channel to run down wisely otherwise he'll be receiving a going away present he won't enjoy.

Paly v Kala
Don't buy the injury crisis thing the Paly faithful are throwing out but still expect the Kala backline to have too many guns today. Will be an exciting game with both teams intent on spreading the ball. The Kala loose forwards will play a big part in the result and the Kala no 8 is the biggest player I have ever seen in Perth.
Any team with Joe Savage leading them around the track is not to be underestimated but I think Kala today.

Scarfies v Bros
The Bros have had a very good start to their prem debut, ambushed everyone and have massively overachieved and today it all comes crashing down.
Uni will put them to the sword after realising that they need to play for the full 80 this week and when they get that running game roll on led by one of the best halfbacks in town Ethan Carlisle they will dominate. Will be awkward round the dinner table this week at the Carlisle's.
It's now or never for Uni and I expect them to pick up 15 comp points in the next 3 games to end the first round to mount a finals bid.
No disrespect to Bros but depth will be another issue to deal with as the season progresses.

Dogs v Baysie
Dogs will continue on their winning ways because quite simply they are a lot better team than recent results indicate.
Baysie by all accounts have turned the corner which for anyone with any kind of interest in club rugby will welcome.
To keep PG Hampshire winner and lunchbox legend Dylan Timu out of his favoured 1st 5 role means the new recruit must be a handy type. Will be close but Dogs at home will be too good.

Just an observation but can we please have assistant referees that understand and will call offside's please. It's getting worse and all it does is frustrate players and spectators. I have not bagged an official[I do it in person] in over 1100 posts but it needs to get sorted.
