Mandrews vs Moloney and Burch vs Devlin should be good, but as with the CWC the best looking potential matches are further into the tournament. Look out for the aforementioned Mandrews, Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate & Trent Seven - they're the stand-out talents, for sure. Bodyguy Roy Johnson has a lot of potential and is something of a dark horse, so perhaps he could surprise people and go further than the first round, or either of the big lads (T-Bone and Wolfgang) could be within a chance of making it to the semis.
