These are my projections for end of season - in the above post - I have pretty much projected wins for the higher ranked sides except for Rnd 17 Norths v Bros and Rnd 18 GPS v Easts - just to show how tight it will get at the end of the season in the race for the top 4 and the wooden spoon.
I think at the end of H&A
1. Souths
2. Uni
3. GPS
4. Easts
…
9. Bros
I know Bond are doing well but my bolter for the 4 is Norths - if they were to win all remaining games they would finish on around 44 points and a game/2 dropped by Uni, GPS or Easts and that brings both Bond & Norths into contention.
Interestingly Norths will have a real bearing on the make up of the top 4 (& the spoon) as their remaining games are: GPS, UNI, Easts, Bros, Bond.
And so to Wests who finish: Souths, GPS, Uni, Easts, and then probably the grand final for the spoon v Bros in round 18!!!
A win over Brothers in round 18 at home to give them the spoon and Wests the Pilecki/Shaw trophy (in the year of Stan's passing) would make for a bearable summer!!!
