Round has come and gone and some have stumbled, some have risen and some have looked pitiful. Here is a look at power rankings after round 2.
1.Sydney Oilers
The Oilers were able to overcome the always plucky Orcas to continue a solid start to the season. However, Matt Moylan will be sitting out at least the next two rounds with a torn foreskin.

Injuries:Matt Moylan (5), Michael Shenton (2), Sonny Bill Williams and DCE (1)
