Predictions for today:
Vikings to make was work of Easts (plus 30) in what should be a very easy day at the office. Make no mistake Easts will do their best, but unfortunately, they're best just isn't good enough against a strong, consistent side like the Vikings. I would like to think Easts can put into perspective what is the bigger picture, that being getting to a point over the next 2-3 years, on the back of some solid rebuilding/growth, to be in a position where they can compete with the best in this comp.
Queanbeyan to edge out Royals (less than 10) in a close contest that may reveal which side is a true contender to knock off Vikings when it comes to the GF. Both have strong packs, solid defence and consistent shape/plays. It should make for a top game of rugby, but I think the Whites have proven that their pack is the best in the business and because of this, will become critical in getting the momentum and dominance over a strong Royals side.
Wests to finally get their first win over the Owls (less than 10) in what will probably be the most determined effort from the flagging Wests' side. Both sides have their season on the line in this game and both will come out firing to see who stays in the race for this year and who better start focusing on 2017. As they haven't won a game yet, I think Wests will turn up with a more physically dominant game, aiming to get over their younger opponents in an aggressive style of rugby. Owls will do their best, but a more determined Wests side playing at home may just be enough to get their first win this season.
