The Gilmore Grizzlies have returned from the bye weekend fresh and ready for action. After spending the weekend bonding, where sources tell us there was plenty of bonding and an "unlimited interchange" rule in place, the Grizzlies are primed to mash the Cobras.
Anthony Laffranchi will miss the match through suspension, but the Grizzlies are otherwise at full strength to take on their in-form opponents.

My favorite forum member is 100%Green. Why? Because anyone who can convince my wife who runs two watch shops and doesnt realy like the Raiders to buy me a limited edition centenary of league Raiders watch is alright in my books.
It's hard god-damn work being a Raiders supporter!
say thats a nice team
You can disregard how well Folau, Idris, Herbert and Glenn do as they'll be playing themselves.

After securing a finals spot for the second year running with a dominant win over fellow contenders the Braddon Bombers, the Gilmore Grizzlies will be looking to continue their build-up to the playoffs. And they couldn't have drawn better opposition to do it.
Team Rampage are assured of finishing in the top 2, while for the Grizzlies a home final is still up for grabs, as they could finish anywhere from 3rd to 8th.
"Obviously we want to finish at least 6th, and with some of our competitors having reasonably easy games, it's vital we get a result here. Nobody wants to be facing the Untouchable in week 1 of the finals, so it's in our hands to avoid that," said coach Peter Penia.
"Another win over a finals-bound side would certainly give us confidence heading into next week."
The Grizzlies are boosted by the return of Craig Fitzgibbon and Anthony Laffranchi, while Nathan Friend has been named to make his Grizzlies debut. Fellow new signing Matthew Wright missed out on a strong bench.
