Div 4 finals
McClean Cup
QFA - Rockdale v Renegades - we've had some serious ups and downs in personnel this year, and have not been able to consistently put out the same team twice. Late season injuries and absences have cruelled our momentum. While I'd like to back the boys, Rockdale have a great scrum and backline, and have had consistency in selection. Rockdale by 20ish.
QFB - Redfield v Wakehurst - might be closer than the table position and the margins from Rounds 3 & 12 suggest. Redfield are fit and well organised, and always good value at finals time, but Wakehurst have upped their game in terms of set piece recently and will be able to focus on a single grade. Redfield by about 15.
Grose Cup
QFA - Rockdale v Chatswood - the Staggies were cohesive across both their grades, but it meant their 2s were once again the better performers, relatively speaking. Rockdale's only question will be numbers on the day. They've used 47 players in total this season, but only around 30-32 in the last month or so. I think they should still have enough. Rockdale by 8.
QFB - Redfield v Raptors - fitness should get Redfield over the line here, but it depends how the Raptors play. They could power it up the middle and make it a contest, and they got close to Rockdale last week. Redfield by 5.
