The rampaging Old Boys have gone from bottom three and winless to notching up two victories on the trot, and their percentage looked at Tigerturbulance and said “I’ll have what he’s having” and it blew up to over 108. They are still on the precipice though with the Furies and Bombers both able to leapfrog them if results go against them, while their direct opponents the Swamprats are technically only percentage outside their eighth spot as well.
The Swamprats have only had the one win, and we’re not going to talk about it because it’s my match threads and it was way back in Round 2. Since defeating the reigning premiers, the Swampies have dropped the rest and with a bye in there too, are now 1-4 for the year. Thankfully they have a 50 per cent chance of winning each time they go out, so form is quite literally temporary.
Mobbs Medallist * cue RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME video * damicky is setting the pace for his side, while jackster83 and Samcro24 are both posting strongly among five players with 25 or more PPG. They aren’t so crash hot on the field though, with a 49-point loss to the Demons the most recent defeat in a string of losses. Tarasque36 played pretty well, while they also had a couple of statless performances.
The Old Boys broke the “OY” curse - where all three 0-3 sides to start the year had that combination of letters - and are now up and about. Like the Bombers, the Old Boys are one of the most dominant posting teams in the comp, with recognisable players across every line. Pugsley is averaging around 225 PPG which at this point he might as well be a co-owner of the site, while Elton Johns Wig and philreich are always active.
The way the Old Boys are going right now the only thing that can stop them is a team selection points violation. But fortunately they don’t have any of those in recent memory. It seems like they’ll be there around the pointy end, and with the second best cat in this thread in Bonz looking to make amends for a quiet game last week, I’m tipping the Old Boys by like 14 points.
