Div 3 Wet Weather Round Preview:
Might as well just resurface my predictions from when these games were originally scheduled and see if anything's changed...
Old Barker (8) at Knox (4): "Throw the form guide out the window when these two former school rivals go head to head, in a match that usually brings down a couple of spare part timers for each team keen to throw their weight around against the old enemy. Barker has improved on late, but I don't think they're improved enough to take down an in form Knox outfit. The passion of the rivalry will keep it close though. Knox by 8." - not much changed here, though playing for double points now which makes Barker even more dangerous as they've found form lately. Will stick with Knox though, too much on the line for them. Knox by 8.
Sydney Harbour vs Sydney Harlequins: "Sydney H east edition takes on Sydney H inner city edition in this clash, both sides appear evenly matched on paper and the best outside of the runaway top 2. A short trip over to Rose Bay shouldn't hurt the Quinns lads too much - who's run of form includes a demo job on LCOI, a decent scrap against Merrylands and a solid win over BOBs, whilst Harbour has been limping lately, with unconvincing wins against BOBs and LCOI and a drubbing at home vs the Irish. The form says take the Quinns, but style makes fights, and Harbour got up convincingly in round 1. Tough one to pick, but I'll go Harbour at home in Rose Bay in a coin flip. Harbour by 3." - will stick with Harbour despite them looking shaky against a revitalised LCOI last week. Harbour are a tough side when Garrels laces up at 10. Quinns have it all to play for against Harbour and Knox next two weeks though, desperation can yield interesting results... still Harbour by 5.
