DESPITE a 22-goal thrashing at the hands of Werribee, Burnie coach Brent Plant predicts the TSL can compete with the VFL in the state game on May 26.

The Dockers, last year's TSL runners-up and undefeated this season, were beaten by 133 points in Saturday's Foxtel Cup by the VFL Tigers at Etihad Stadium.

Many predict a similar outcome when the TSL hosts the VFL at Bellerive Oval.

The Dolphins remain winless after four rounds but have shown positive signs in the past fortnight with a one-point loss to Casey followed by the 12.9 (81) to 17.11 (113) loss.

The Roosters have chalked up one win from four matches this season - their sole victory was claimed in round three at Collingwood's Victoria Park.

John Bennett chuckles at the memory of Michael Sikora playing under him at Southern league club Heatherton in 2010.

"Just a big, raw lump of a kid who didn't know too much about the game, really,'' Bennett, the former St Kilda and Sandringham spearhead, said last week.
"He didn't do a hell of a lot around the ground but I'll tell you one thing: he never lost a tap-out.''

That is no surprise: Sikora is 204cm.
