Opinions from the cheap seats this week.
TSS v ACGS
Match of the round, maybe the year, and largely the key to the premiership in 2014. Expect a commotion in the crowd as a TSS mum gets a large diamond ring caught in her vaginal piercing as she attempts a sneaky readjustment of her G string. Numerous other TSS mums to make a "mental note to self". On the field, despite the weird coincidence of draws between these opponents in recent history, I think the Chequebook XV will have too much for the Spray Tans this week. NC will be doing stations of the cross around the clock for a TSS win as this will keep them alive for 2014. With a million dollar team that even Dame Edna could coach to a premiership, the Chequebooks will beat TSS at their own cynical game. Churchie by 10.
BBC v GT
Terrace will beat the White Elephants who are the most over hyped team since Churchie of 2012 although they seem to make a habit of it out that way. Is it true that the BBC foundation chairman who bankrolls all of their new faces was last seen with a wad of cash at the Paul's Yoghurt factory because someone told him BBC needed to get a winning culture? Too many contributors from GT and too many passengers from BBC will see this one end up Terrace's by 12.
NC v BSHS
By this stage BSHS are starting to have a lack of depth beginning to bite and whilst they will put up a good fight, NC will have the chance for a 41st premiership to fight for and they will not give that up easily because it is not in their DNA. If someone cooked up a big mess of Island food, taro and yams and pork and rice etc and blew its aroma across the field with a big industrial fan, there could be a lot of players terribly distracted. NC by 10+
IGS v BGS
Forget it. Ipswich to put BGS to the sword in 1st XV and every other A grade match. Grammar have an express pass back to the bad old days. Demoralised by what Ipswich will do and focused on the QCS and exams, Grammar would lead the protest to the GPS Heads to change the season back to the term 2-3 option that ran for the last 30 years. Consider this. Next week, if it is dry, Churchie have the firepower to do another 100 point job on them like that great State High team did back in 2008 or so. Blues supporters get your hankies ready.
