The Gumbies enter this fixture with what must be an eerily familiar feeling. As in Season 31, they dominated the regular season in style, regularly flaunting a top seed and boasting a long winning streak only to capitulate in the Qualifying final.
In this season’s case, it was an unedifying defeat, conceding 188 points to the Bombers. The Gumbies will be hoping star fullback, Ned_Flanders can recapture his early season form as he let Pugsley off the leash for 8 goals. Meanwhile, Barrybran will be finally hoping to lead the front line as last week he played second fiddle again, this time to his captain and swingman DenieD.
So here they are again, facing the prospect of a straight sets exit against a less fancied opponent.
The Roys will be hoping to channel the form they displayed in Season 32’s semi-final against the Gumbies, when they dispatched their less fancied opponents by 7 goals. This season, they come in as underdogs, but they do boast a 3-game winning streak, and a battle-hardened temperament bolstered by a tight win against the Warriors. They will be hoping S32 Fred winner Mooch can continue he prolific form he showed in the Elimination final, whilst Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever, was dominant off the half forward flank.
