Things don't get any easier for Swan, facing the strong Wanneroo side with Costello returning. Wanneroo is only 1.5 points behind the leaders, so when you have a chance to secure 7 or 8 points away from home, you have to jump at the chance. Swan on the other hand are only 2 points off last, an aggregate win would be amazing, but two rink wins would also be valuable.

Morley looked to have strengthened their squad with some additions but meeting Yokine on their home deck after a loss is not ideal. I made an error last week and did not notice Parr and Shaw with two draws and no losses. They remain undefeated and Shaw will be looking to extend that run.

Now this game is massive in the context of the season, Quinns have some good inclusions, but they've lost some handy players. Smith will be looking to fix last week's outcome when his rink had a large loss. North Perth dropped an important game against Joondalup recently and Quinns are much stronger, so they have to be ready to play early. I do feel like whoever comes against Smith really has to take advantage as the other three rinks are currently strong. Likewise the Dixon rink has had a few changes and Quinns will be looking to put them to the sword.

Well Lander coming down to play is interesting, would love to know the story behind this move. I feel sorry for Osborne Park as this is another game of the round and having Lander play in your division is not great. These two teams are just sitting behind the top 4 and looking to keep pace. Sorrento will be closing following the Lawrence rink and making sure whoever is up against him, keeps the game close if possible. Please rig the draw for a Lander v Lawrence game.

The changes most weeks for North Beach are huge, I just struggle to see how that is ever a good idea for a team. Not sure why they have so many changes, but as a player, it never feels great. Post back for North Beach is a good sign and the Beach at home is always tough.
