Saturday Div 2 Predictions, Results, Thoughts, Rumours

[blackout]

Sooo close. Tibbaw came home strong, but I managed to hold him off.

In the end, I won. Rigged, you say? Maybe. You'll never know for sure. But I think tibbaw should buy me a beer for winning, don't you?

Tibbaw came second by a solitary point, a good finish from last year's (div1) winner.

Third was kolobaras, snatching it from Veggos, who went AWOL in the last round (whether you count kolobaras tipping a game already played or not).

Thanks to Kamaki for not tipping more. He averaged 4.3 from only 3 weeks. I only managed to average just over 3.

The final ladder:
55 blackout
54 tibbaw
52 kolobaras
50 Veggos
44 BlackBrian_7
42 Franco UnAmerican
37 Sacred Noodle
25 Lucas Leiva
21 mooks1304
15 redders
13 Chelski007
13 Kamaki
9 5cougarsthanx
9 Kitchimo
5 Jack Mehorf
4 ManU007
3 SLOTH
2 OMG_LOL
2 smh
1 Green Warrior

The closest to an upset on the last weekend was Comets over Vipers.

Many thanks all, especially the regulars. Looking forward to doing this again next year in Div 1.

[Steve#4]

Thanks for your effort mate....Well done.

[tibbaw]

Good work on the tipping comp this year mate.

It all came down to the last result to be posted between Breakers and Budapest! I do owe you a beer, especially given I was stirring you up Sat night saying I had you beat. See you tomorrow for our ongoing celebrations.

[onthemound]

Anyone game on giving what the ladder at the end of the year might look like? Who are title contenders and which teams will be facing the drop?

[Steve#4]

Guess work only at this stage but:


Comets
Titans
Vipers
Jets
Cougars
RBE
Monarchs
Hahndorf
USC Lion
Allstars

Thought All Stars dissolved?

ARBE for promotion 2012!

Few new players but that guarantees nothing.

My favourite thread is back!

I have also heard ARBE have a strong squad on paper ill be keeping an eye on them.
USC lion learned from the last years early season slump?? i would put them midtable.
Titans have recruited well.

I know nothing re Monarchs.

[Paleon Patros Germanos]

Modbury and AllStars will be tough.

Hahndorf and USC have shown that teams coming up can hold their own so ARBE and Monarchs will be no pushovers.

Keep an eye on the Cougars, form team of the second half of the year.

[Ga Pala]

ARBE will win it by a mile if they keep there team together for the whole season .

[Lucas Leiva]

I love these pre-season predictions. So full of 'on paper' predictions...

I have heard the USC Lion have recruited heavily in experience, so with no 1st-half slump they'll be tough to beat.

I think this div will be a lot more even than last year, don't think we'll get another 10-game unbeaten streak as easily this time.

This season will be the most difficult to date IMO. Many many changes....i think predictions at this stage is just about a bit of fun.

Yup....sick of reading all the Sunday squabbles/Dummy spits, good to talk about some Saturday teams.

[Paleon Patros Germanos]

I thought Div 2 was pretty even last year and will be even more so this year.

[aussie pride]

I thought Div 2 was pretty even last year and will be even more so this year.

ther were no easy games last year.....even top teams had to work hard for a win against lower sides! looking foward to this season.

[Caretaker Coach]

I thought Div 2 was pretty even last year and will be even more so this year.

I agree, I think it will be very little separating top from bottom from beginning to end - the depth of the squads with all clubs will play a big part, makes for an exciting season.

Jets
africa

rbe also seem to have recruited well, few ex feds gone there apparently.

[Paleon Patros Germanos]

ARBE lost 1-0 to Rostrevor today but dominated by all accounts.

rostrevor are one of the best teams in that division aren't they? Normally hold their own against the lower sat div 1 sides
