Div 3 Round 9 Predictions:
Hornsby @ Blacktown: Hornsby got it going with a strong win last week, whilst Blacktown is still getting beaten consistently each week, so hard not to go with Hornsby this week. Hornsby lacks a little in the flair and strike department, but their forwards are very well drilled, and Blacktown will hate that. Hornsby by 20. Blacktown in a close one in 2s, whilst Old Barker should do a number on Hornsby colts.
Beecroft @ LCOI: The momentum really came out of LCOIs sails these last two weeks with tough losses to Knox and Hornsby, and now it's their turn to get put through the Beecroft buzzsaw, albeit at home. The Crofties backline, highlighted by Horner, Madden and big Nasovu should have a field day in this one. Beecroft by 30. LCOI by a bunch in 2s and colts though.
Hills @ Knox: Game of the round with a few interesting wrinkles. Knox clearly battling with injuries based on their team sheet comparisons from week one to now, but I've just checked the club socials and it looks like Colleagues II have forfeited their Colts fixture, so the Knox grade sides will have a plethora of young talent to siphen in, and it's Ladies Day, so I'll pick them in a tight one based on that. Knox by 5. Hills in 2s handily.
Yours,
