Premier League Round 5
North (3-1) vs Sturt (1-3)
Sturt have been struggling, with significant losses to top 4 sides already. They'll need to start beating some of these teams and no better week to start. Starling is a level above but there will be an interesting battle between the leagues underperforming import guards.
North by 12.
Centrals (1-3) vs Southern (4-0)
South knocked Centrals down a peg in a disappointing loss while Southern handled business at home vs Woodville. Can Centrals slow the Tigers down or will they get steam rolled as their first 4 opponents have?
Tigers by 8 but Centrals to have a red hot crack and be leading at 3/4
Eastern (0-4) vs West (3-1)
West slipped up last week but won’t shoot poorly two weeks in a row. Mavs have had more success scoring since the arrival of Rios but have given up 129 and 109 the past two weeks.
West too smart in a 17 point win.
South (3-1) vs Norwood (3-1)
Game of the round. Both teams looking to solidify themselves in the top 5 and coming off 30 point wins. Battle will come down to Norwood’s spread of scorers against Souths guard play. Shorne vs McGriff also important.
Norwood by 3 but Eian Davis to score 40.
Woodville (1-3) vs Forestville (1-3)
Plenty of positives for both sides last week - Forestville getting off the mark and Woodville posting 91 against Southern. If the Warriors can contain Doyle and Teys they’re a chance. Perry and Osborne seem to be living up to the hype and hitting their straps. Of course the big question is will DJ play?
Forestville by 5 but would be a different story at St Clair.
