No game at the weekend means the Pirates hold onto the top
spot for another week. With another bye week before their huge game against the
Mustangs, the Pirates spot atop of our rankings should be secure for another
week.
2. Tamworth Phoenix (2-0)
Similar to the Pirates, the Phoenix were out of action at
the weekend. With a trip to Coventry on the cards this weekend, Tamworth could
claim the number one spot with a convincing victory over their Midlands rivals.
3. Doncaster Mustangs (4-0)
And that’s a hat-trick! Just like the two teams above them,
the Mustangs found themselves enjoying a bye week at the weekend. Doncaster now
have another week to prep for their game vs. EKP. Here’s hoping it will be as
close as last year’s 26-20 (to EKP) game up in Hamilton!
4. Sheffield Predators (2-0)
Remember
this meme from a few months back?
Well it may be time that UK gridiron memes
either classed the Predators as a Premiership team or added another team to
that list following Sheffield’s nine point victory over the Yorkshire Rams.
Unfortunately for the Predators, their time in the top five may short lived due
to the fact they don’t have a game until June 23rd!
5. Birmingham Bulls (1-1)
And
we’re back to team’s who didn’t play at the weekend...Despite the Predators moving
up to the number four spot, the Bulls still cling to the number five spot for
another week. A victory over the Lancashire Wolverines this coming weekend
could move the Bulls above the Predators.
A slide of two spots for the Rams following their 28-19 loss
against the Sheffield Predators. The Rams now have two weeks to dust themselves
off and prepare for their game against the Birmingham Bulls.
7. Coventry Jets (1-2)
The
Jets drop a spot despite not having a game at the weekend. The Jets will be in
action this weekend when they play host to the high flying Tamworth Phoenix. If
the Jets can pull off the upset, the race of the playoffs in the Premiership
North would be blown wide open.
8. West Coast Trojans (0-3)
No
game for the Trojans at the weekend means they stay in the number eight spot
for another week, and with no game until the 9th June, the Trojans
won’t find themselves moving up anytime soon.
9. Lancashire Wolverines
(0-1)
Guess
what...that’s right, Lancashire didn’t have a game at the weekend and still
remain in the same spot as last weekend. However, the Wolverines will find
themselves rising up in our rankings if the leave Birmingham with a victory at
the weekend. No doubt Lancashire have just been working on their run D, because
it looks like the opponents for the weekend are allergic to throwing the
football.
10. Nottingham Caesars
(0-3)
Last but not least, the Caesars round of our rankings/list
of teams’ who didn’t play at the weekend. With no game until the first week of
June, the Caesars will most likely end May with the number ten spot in our
weekly rankings.
Nottingham are lucky to be ranked at 10
