Under 18s Power Rankings July 19th: Running defenders

Mid-year reviews: Western Jets, Sandringham Dragons, Oakleigh Chargers
WESTERN JETS Ladder Position: 5th Win-loss ratio: 6-6-1 Year so far: The Western Jets have relied on an even spread from their team rather than a few guns to get results this year and as a result have been quite inconsistent. When the likes of James Sicily and Jake Greiser fail to fire, so do the […]
