ROUND 8 REPORT

The Rollers & Rockers (110) def. Livinintheeastnow (94)
The Rollers continue their roll and Livin still struggle without a coach. Heath Black (boo) and Matthew Clarke were best for the Rollers, while Jeff Farmer, Justin Longmuir, Michael Voss and Paul Hasleby were all good for Livin, it's just too bad they get nothing out of everyone else.

Brendon Feddema Allstars (100) drew Sunday Everyday (100)
Sunday managed to get its first points of the season, albeit only 2 points. In our first draw for the year, Brett Ratten was the only shining light for the Allstars, while Matthew Pavlich was the only one for Sunday.

Race 5 Cessnock Dogs (105) def. The Clangers (99)
In the second of the close games for the round, the Dogs managed to get their second win of the season over the Clangers, who have fallen badly and lost 3 in a row. Simon Black, Paul Licuria and Scott Burns were all good for the Dogs, while Ben Cousins and Troy Simmonds put in a good effort for the Clangers.

The Curlywongs (132) def. The Nowotny Nomads (115)
The Curlywongs moved into second place on the ladder with a win over the Nomads. At this point, they are the only ones scoring consistently enough to look like a challenge to the all-conquering Willsy Aeroplane 2 (no pressure, oos). Cameron Ling, Nick Stevens played well for the Wongs, Jason Ball was a more than adequate replacement for Steven King, and Chris Scott came off the bench to add some spark in the backline. The Nomads were not disgraced, however, and had some excellent players in Russell Robertson, Robert Harvey and Andrew Kellaway.

The Western Allstars (112) def. by Willsy Aeroplane 2 (151)
In the battle of the teams that begin with W and A, the WA2 was much too good for the Allstars. Trent Croad and Graham Polak were serviceable for the Allstars, but were no match for Alistair Lynch, Matthew Richardson and Michael Gardiner. It looks as if the only was someone will beat the Aeroplane is to knobble Michael Gardiner before the game.

Carrot & Onions (106) def. by The Les Fong Experience (107)
In the first of our one point shootouts, the Onions couldn't quite get over the top of the Experience. Shaun Hart and Scott Lucas led the Onions from the backline, while Anthony Rocca and Chris Judd led the Experience from the forward line. The difference, however, was probably the Experience's ruckman in Greg Stafford.

The Cylon Centurions (106) def. by Premiership Hangover (107)
In a carbon copy of the previous game, the Centurions couldn't quite get over the Hangover, which is probably fair enough as the Centurions won a one pointer last week. Nathan Brown was superb for the Centurions, and Shaun Burgoyne came off the bench to almost steal the game. Des Headland, Ben Graham and Peter Everitt were all classy for the Hangover.

The Late Starters (108) def. The Super Dooper Big Chiefs Of The World (104)
Another close game saw the Starters get a win over the Chiefs. Adam Simpson and Troy Cook were good for the Starters, while Shane O'Bree and Peter Riccardi were good for the Chiefs.
