Country Origin v City Origin
Sunday, May 7, 4pm (AEST), Glen Willow Oval, Mudgee
There’s no sugar-coating it, the time-honoured fixture between Country and City has become a laugh stock, with certain NRL coaches refusing to let players take part in the final Country v City fixture. City were forced to delay the announcement of their team as they struggled to field 17 players. City have named players like Hame Sele, Pauli Pauli and Jake Marketo, who are nothing more than fringe players in their respective clubs top 17. It’s a kick in the guts to Country football and The Wolf is predicting that they’ll make City pay on the football field.

Final Thoughts
Overs, Overs, Overs! The Wolf is expecting both sides to want to put on a spectacle in the final Country-City clash and defence won’t be a high priority for either side. The stats point to a high-scoring affair, while Country will want to make sure they’re on the right side of the scoreboard for the Mudgee locals.
