Some thoughts on Round 6

[pieter blackie]

Rocky will struggle so I will give this one to West
Nedlands will continue with their Premiers campain with a win over Uni
Perth will be destroyed by Pally
If the Roodogs can pull this one of they will be back on track
Cottesloe vs Kalamunda well this might just be the game of the round or the end of Kalamunda's 2010 campain!!

Just had another look at your site Pieter. Great effort.

Don't you mean "Cottesloe Does It Again" in your heading though?

Thanks Fulvio there must have either been a late night an early morning or some beer involved when I did that

The mental imagery.................

I wouldn't write off Kalamunda. They were off their game last weekend, appeared to lack confidence, and had several players out. It was also a night game, and that could have been unsettling.

I saw Nedlands v Cottesloe and I had a different interpretation of the game to Rick Boyd. I thought that the Nedlands forwards had a definite edge in the scrums throughout the game and there was not much between the two packs in phase play - attack and defence. Equally, the Nedlands backs were just as competent as Cott.

The difference between the sides was that Nedlands underestimated Cott after the first half, in which Neddies dominated the scoring and they eased off the pressure slightly, whereas Cott came out very aggressively in the second half and made very few mistakes. Neddies usually reliable Alvin Purple made a few embarrasing errors of judgement which let Cott in for two tries, and Cott made two very judicious changes in the backline, putting on fresh players in the extremely savvy Westaway and a smart young winger, and in the end these two and Cloete's deadly boot just got Cott over the line.

Neither Cott nor Neddies are by any means unbeatable, and Kala have it in them to take it up to both if they fire up and are at full strength.

Pally v Perth won't necessarily be a blood bath for Perth. Pally lack the killer instinct to really put an opposition to the sword, and in any event will again be without a number of injured players. Having said that, I still feel Pally should have a comfortable win.

Wanneroo and Associates, well you'd have to be a brave or foolish man to back either to win against the other. They are both starting to hit their straps, and you never know what new present Wanneroo's Sugar Daddy will buy them from week to week.

Rocky and Wests will also be tight. I don't have as much respect for Wests' ability as you do though, and it wouldn't surprise me if Rocky upset them.

Neddies over Uni is a given.

Palmyra will be resting half a team this week against Baysie.

[fulvio sammut]

Nah, they'll do that the following week against Uni.
