Can't say I'm a fan of either of them to be honest, but I have got Pipe 6-4 in the prediction competition!!
Joking aside, Newton is playing very well. Certainly looks like he's out to prove a point.

Re: Players Championships - Discussion
They just had a feature on this on the local HTV news and a small piece with Phil & Matt Porter.
Not too sure on them claiming Gando as a full bloodied local though still if Tommy Banner can be a Wurzel I guess anything is possible
