The weekend ahead
The weekend kicks off with a huge Rugby League clash between Warrington and St. Helens. The Saints are undefeated at the moment and will want to continue on in that vein. I hope that Warrington will take the game to them and look to build an early lead. One thing is for certain the cannot afford to lose a quick 14 points which they did to Hull last week. With both Logan Swann and Rob Parker missing from last week and the continuing absence of Paul Rauhihi and Stuart Reardon it will be a long night for the Wolves. The defense is going to need to make plenty of tackles tonight and the forwards will have to make the hard yard. If they can keep the score down in the first half the TV cameras and crowd might come into play and give us half a chance. Though with the injuries it is going to be a struggle so this week I'm going to take the Saints by 1-12 points.
The Hurricanes have traveled to Durban to take on the Cheetahs who are one of the new teams in this years Super 14. They will be looking to blow through the tour of South Africa with maximum points. Historically the Hurricanes do no travel well and will be hoping that this year is better for them. If they have any ambition of a top four finish, going through this tour unbeaten will help improve their current chances. Paul Tito and Rodney SoÂoialo will both be serving one game suspensions and will not be available. This will make it harder, but with Jerry Collins coming of the bench the Hurricanes have a great chance to start their tour off with maximum points. I'm going to back on the backs to do their thing and take the 'canes to win by 13+ points
In what is a relatively light weekends sport we move onto Cambridge United who are playing away at Woking on Saturday afternoon. This will be another tough away game for us and it will be interesting to see what formation and tactics we play. I think at this point of the season there is very little merit in playing for the point.Wee need to take the game to woking and put them on the back foot from the start. This week has seen the arrival of Matt Bloomer another loanee thistimem from Lincoln. He looks set to make his debut alongsideAndyyDuncann in the heart of thedefensee. It looks like Bridges will return to midfield where he hasdefinitelyy been missed and Onibuje will return up front. To try and break the away hoodoo a sports psychologist has been drafted in this week to see what he can do. I'm not a great fan of this and would suggest to Mr. Newman that if we bothered to try to attack away from home that may solve the problem. Lets see what affect he will have this Saturday, I am going for a respectable 1-1 draw.
The Golden State Warriors are back in there win one, lose one pattern ater a home defeat to the Jazz they cam back to beat the Magic by 4 points. This weekend they host the Lakers pon friday night and then head of to play the Timberwolves on Sunday. They have a realistic chnce of beating the Lakers and will need to if they don't want to stay bottom of the Pacific Division. a loss here could really seal their fate for the season. The Timberwolves don't have that great a win/loss record themselves but will still probaly have too much game for the Warriors. Optimistically I'll go for a win against the Lakers and a narrow defeat in minnesota
