My picks;
1 Nelson Tigers vs Manawatu Mustangs A close call but I think the depth of the Mustangs will come through.
2 Wellington Wildcats vs Baypark Busters
3 Stratford Scrappers vs Wanganui Warriors
4 Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes vs Palmerston North Panthers Although I think this one could go very close.
5 Rotorua Rebels vs Nelson Tigers
6 Gisborne Giants vs Wellington Wildcats
7 Great Britian Lions vs Stratford Scrappers
8 Canterbury Glen Eagles vs Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes
9 Manawatu Mustangs vs Rotorua Rebels
10 Baypark Busters vs Gisborne Giants This will be an interesting one too, but I think the depth of the Giants will prevail.
11 Wanganui Warriors vs Great Britain Lions
12 Palmerston North Panthers vs Canterbury Glen Eagles
So that has me saying Mustangs V Panthers in semi 1 which the Panthers will win... then the Giants V Warriors in semi 2 which the Giants will win, then you'll see the war erupt in the final where the Giants will beat the Panthers. Both teams will be wanting to make a point.
Having said that - stuff the Panthers and Go the Mighty Hawkeyes!!!!!

1 Nelson Tigers vs Manawatu Mustangs
Picking the closest race of the night, Mustangs to win, just.
2 Wellington Wildcats vs Baypark Busters
No bias here. Wildcats 185 to 10
3 Stratford Scrappers vs Wanganui Warriors
I think people are under rating the Scrappers could cause an upset easily. But I'm going with the Warriors
4 Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes vs Palmerston North Panthers
Hawkeyes have a good chance here and so many of us support our own team plus whoever is racing the Panthers. Hawkeyes to win.
5 Rotorua Rebels vs Nelson Tigers
This could well be the closest group, picking the Tiger by a whisker.
6 Gisborne Giants vs Wellington Wildcats
The Giants members have been so pleased with how the Wellington club has treated them and how the Te Marua fans have embraced them that their killer instinct will desert them and the Wildcats will take the victory.
7 Great Britain Lions vs Stratford Scrappers
With my wife being of British origin I have to type this in a whisper, Scrappers to win.
8 Canterbury Glen Eagles vs Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes
Picking this to be the most bruising encounter with Chris Flett and Bryce Marx dishing it out to the Hawkeyes. In the end team work will see the Hawkeyes win through to the semi's.
9 Manawatu Mustangs vs Rotorua Rebels
Pick the Rebels to win, meaning 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th placing will decide the group.
10 Baypark Busters vs Gisborne Giants
Giants to win, then win the second tier match and end up third overall.
11 Wanganui Warriors vs Great Britain Lions
Sorry Lions, but the Warrior's will win on their way to the final
12 Palmerston North Panthers vs Canterbury Glen Eagles
Picking the Glen Eagles because no matter how genuinely decent the guys involved with the Panthers are, I just can't bring myself to pick them.

1 Nelson Tigers vs Manawatu Mustangs - Nelson just, has to be 1 mainlander team into the finals
2 Wellington Wildcats vs Baypark Busters - Very even, hard to pick Head says Wildcats, gut feeling says Busters
3 Stratford Scrappers vs Wanganui Warriors - Great match up and these 2 teams will fight to the death Warriors just
4 Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes vs Palmerston North Panthers - 2 strong teams Head says HB Gut says Panthers
5 Rotorua Rebels vs Nelson Tigers - Rebels unknown team this year and with that could see an upset so Rebels
6 Gisborne Giants vs Wellington Wildcats - Great contest here Giants
7 Great Britian Lions vs Stratford Scrappers - Lions have some very good machinery Lions just
8 Canterbury Glen Eagles vs Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes - Depending on what damage comes from HB v Panthers the Eagles could produce an upset Gut says HB head says Eagles
9 Manawatu Mustangs vs Rotorua Rebels - Mustangs have more time to turn cars around if damaged so gut says Mustangs head says Rebels
10 Baypark Busters vs Gisborne Giants - Cant wait for this one just to the Giants
11 Wanganui Warriors vs Great Britain Lions - Warriors
12 Palmerston North Panthers vs Canterbury Glen Eagles - Gut says Panthers but I really want the Eagles to win
