Coney Island Warriors 17.16 (118) defeated West Coast Wonders 15.13 (103)​

The Warriors have only had 4 home games against the Wonders since coming into the league and have won all of them quite convincingly, they will be very confident coming up against them at their fortress that is Van Cortlandt Park.

Topping the table with 4 wins and an extremely high percentage of 182.4% aswell as the stingiest defence in the league. The Warriors are flying. They came up against the Bombers last week and cruised their way through the game in what some might accuse them of resting players while actually playing them. They wont be taking this game for granted though, and will want to come out strong to show the competition how good they really are.

It has not been the season the Wonders were hoping for, sitting in 11th place with just the 1 win to their name so far they are desperate to turn their season around. they need more team performances because leaving the bulk of the work to just a few has not helped them so far. Is this the week where they start to find some form? they will need to do something drastic if they are to beat the leagues strongest s26 outfit.

WHO'S QOT AND WHO'S QOT:
Q(h)OT:

BigJoeD_ (Warriors)
Hot off a bag of 4 against the Bombers, the Warriors Vice Captain is on a hot streak and 5 goals clear of Jivlain in the Fred heading into round 5. Shutting down BJD is a must-win battle if the Wonders are going to win the overall scoreboard war. If BJD gets off the chain again, the wonders can say goodnight.

Cactus_ (Wonders)
Who is this kid? I'm pretty sure I've never seen him before. Must be a rookie or something.
Seems to be getting some pretty high stats, but much like your Dane Swans of the day, high stats are meaningless unless they translate into W's. Cactus_ will be hoping for a little more out of the forward line in order to capitalise on his big numbers.

Q(n)OT:

haydo (Wonders)
It wasn't long ago that the summary of haydo was "sure, his stats are s**t, but at least he's a quality individual in the match threads". Having lost the latter capability early in season 26, the Wonders have made-do with EJW's leadership while haydo hides in a corner massaging his bruised ego. We're hoping for a big turn around for the champ heading into the latter half of the season.

Predictions:
The Warriors over-possess the ball, playing kick-to-kick in their backline and without any strong goal-kicking presence to combat BigJoeD_, this one could get ugly
Warriors by 50 points

QrownBet odds:
Coney Island Warriors $1.40
West Coast Wonders $2.80

$2.80 The Wonders! Luxury odds. Don’t reckon you’ll be able to get us at that price for long. That’s where the smart money will be going.
