USA Week 1 Predictions

[Rugbyflorida]

Week 1 is here..predictions anyone?

Blindly guessing but here's mine..

Central Florida upsets Jax by a thin very thing margin.
Northern Virginia over Bucks county
New York Knights beat Boston by a few tries.
Philly over D.C. 15 point margin.
Brooklyn gets passed R.I
Delaware over Connectict??

 

[Rugger]

Eagles, Knights, Fight, Rebellion, Wildcats, Axemen

 

[Fatwing15]

How are each teams imports this year? That always is the deciding factor. The Wildcats and Fight have had really good ones in years past. Have the Sharks EVER lost to the Nova/Fairfac Eagles?
Knnights v 13s is the best matchup.

Sharks, Knights, Fight, Brooklyn (emerging powerhouse?) Wildcats, Axemen

 

[Hellray]

Axemen (by 14)
Eagles (4)
Knights (10)
Fight (16)
Kings (12)
Wildcats (4)

 

[Rugger]

Have the Sharks EVER lost to the Nova/Fairfax Eagles?

What does that have to do with anything? The Sharks have had a year off. And that's why they play the games...

Brooklyn (emerging powerhouse?)

What makes you say this? They've only played/existed one season and I believe only won one game and tied another. They probably aren't even the best team in their division.

Merely talking smack to get a rise and encourage banter... ( I'd be surprised if either team has three players that started the last time they played)

Brooklyn success is Just a random prediction.

Nothing behind either statement, looking toward to a great opening weekend.

 

[Boston13s]

Jacksonville Axemen beats Central Florida Warriors (Axemen's first game for their new coach. They won't lose, although it should be close)
NOVA Eagles beats BC Sharks (NOVA will be better than last year)
Boston 13s beats New York Knights (I have to say this! Should be a great game)
Philadelphia Fight beats DC Slayers (Will be a close one)
Rhode Island beats Brooklyn Kings (Pedigree over hype)
Connecticut Wildcats beats Delaware Black Foxes (Experience over inexperience)

The fixtures certainly weren't done this way but I can see 6 very competitive games tomorrow to open season 5.

I think it's interesting that everyone is tipping the Axemen over the warriors. Probably 30% of the warriors roster is made up of Axemen from their two Championship seasons. Now Taylor Alley, is back from Australia playing with the warriors. I think the reign of dominance in the south is over for the Axemen. I expect them to be well coached, but lacking the highly skilled domestic players they've had over the past 5 years. I'm predicting the warriors win by at least 12.

 

[Rugbyflorida]

Thought I was going to be the only one to tip the Warriors. The axeman are strong but aren't they averaging over 30 years old..wisdom is good but goodness put the walking canes away gentleman.
Anyways should be a interesting starts cross the board. Curious to see the outcome of DC and Philly up north.

Wow, huge wake-up call for the Knights in their USARL debut.

 

[amnrlfan]

I'm a little late but....

Warriors over Axemen - Taylor Alley back from Austrailia and as stated earlier Axemen took a hit with the other teams joining the comp.

Sharks Eagles - looks like Eagles

Thirteens over Knights most likely

Fight over Slayers - Slayers in GF this year

Rebellion over knights most likely

Wildcats over Foxes

All teams have imports?

Hawks made up of USARL players ???

 

[Rampart66]

Philadelphia Fight - 42
DC Slayers - 4
Final

Central Florida Warriors - 18
Jacksonville Axemen - 6

[deluded pom?]

Central Florida Warriors - 34
Jacksonville Axemen - 6
Final

That's a huge result. The first time the Axemen have lost to another team from Florida?

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Good to see a team from the same conference as the axemen taking it to them.
