I thought all along why picked group they did hoping Glasgow won this group and then have a doddle of a final.

I don't mind who we face, so hoping for a superheat tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim G 512 Posted October 3, 2023 Glasgow favourites for this but I think heat 2 could be massive. Glasgow reserves had the better of the Oxford pair in the league and if Oxford have any chance they will need to turn that around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get behind yer team more as Oxford av a great chance especially with sum folk talking about Glasgow calling upon Jack Smith to take sum rides. They av little confidence in Complin & Pijper!

He's never seen it before, wasn't fantastic at Oxford tarasenko. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Ace can ride, he is an upgrade on Jack. It's hard to justify an #8 during the regular season, but at this stage of the playoffs, it's good insurance. Ace isn't a upgrade weaker him being back, least there's a no8 who can take rides if needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
