Toronto Wolves v Wellington Warriors Rogers Centre AAP Alliance Premiership Match
Sao Paulo Pumas v Seoul Magpies Estadio Centenario, Montevideo, Uruguay
Moscow Spetsnaz v Cairo Sands Luzhniki Stadium

Buenos Aires Armadillos v New Delhi Tigers Estadio de River
New York Revolution v Dublin Destroyers MetLife Stadium, New Jersey
Beijing Thunder v PNL Reindeers Beijing Olympic Park EurAsian Premiership Match
Mexico City v Cape Town
A replay of the 2012 Final! A win to Cape Town would really make making the finals easier, but the Suns have few flaws to exploit.
Mexico City run home:
12 H Cape Town Cobras
13 A PNL Reindeers
14 H London Royals
15 A Dublin Destroyers
16 H Toronto Wolves
17 H Cairo Sands
A tricky run home actually, playing 6 team all in finals considerations. The Minor premiership isn't guaranteed.
Cape Town run home:
12 A Mexico City Suns
13 H London Royals
14 A Toronto Wolves
15 H Sao Paulo Pumas
16 A Moscow Spetsnaz
17 H PNL Reindeers
The Cobras play 6 teams all in finals calculation, and they may need to win as many as 5 to qualify for the finals. Looks tough.
London v Pacific
The Royals got lucky last week, and wouldn't want to play that way again. The Islanders meanwhile got unlucky, and will be hoping for a rare win.
London run home:
12 H Pacific Islanders
13 A Cape Town Cobras
14 A Mexico City Suns
15 H Toronto Wolves
16 A Sao Paulo Pumas
17 H Beijing Thunder
Royals will need to beat Pacific and Beijing, and at least 2 of the rest.
Pacific run home:
12 A London Royals
13 H Toronto Wolves
14 A Sao Paulo Pumas
15 H Moscow Spetsnaz
16 A Berlin Brewers
17 H Dublin Destroyers
Tough run home, with London and Berlin looking the best chance for an upset win.
Toronto v Wellington
The Wolves have almost recovered from a slow start to the season, but still have a long way to go. Wellington have improved lately, and they wouldn't want a drop in concentration.
Toronto run home:
H Wellington Warriors
A Pacific Islanders
H Cape Town Cobras
A London Royals
A Mexico City Suns
H New York Revolution
The Wolves have a decent run home, they'd pencil in 3 matches and fancy themselves against both Cape Town and New York. Mexico City the tough one.
Wellington run home:
12 A Toronto Wolves
13 H Sao Paulo Pumas
14 A Moscow Spetsnaz
15 H Berlin Brewers
16 A Buenos Aires Armadillos
17 H New Delhi Tigers
Warriors have a very tough run home, and may need to beat New Delhi in the last round to avoid the wooden spoon.
Sao Paulo v Seoul
The Pumas are under immense pressure to keep its top 4 spot, with PNL, Moscow and Cairo gunning for its spot. While Seoul find themselves out of the 8, and a big scalp like this would give them the confidence for the rest of the season.
Sao Paulo run home:
12 H Seoul Magpies
13 A Wellington Warriors
14 H Pacific Islanders
15 A Cape Town Cobras
16 H London Royals
17 H Buenos Aires Armadillos
A good run home, with the Pumas having 2 bottom 4 teams, potentially tricky clashes against Seoul, Cape Town and London but would be favoured to win all 3, before a final round clash against Buenos Aires that could decide how the top 4 is shaped.
Seoul run home:
12 A Sao Paulo Pumas
13 H Moscow Spetsnaz
14 A Berlin Brewers
15 H Buenos Aires Armadillos
16 A New York Revolution
17 H Tokyo Samurai
Scary run home, with none of the next 4 guaranteed wins at all, and its final 2 games come against New York and Tokyo who can have good days.
Moscow v Cairo
Match of the round! (Happy Cairo?). Both teams in great form having averaged 154 and 150 respectively over the last 4 rounds. Hard to call! Both holding on hope for a top 4 spot.
Moscow run home:
12 H Cairo Sands
13 A Seoul Magpies
14 H Wellington Warriors
15 A Pacific Islanders
16 H Cape Town Cobras
17 H Berlin Brewers
This week's game against Cairo the most tricky, but will start strong favourites in each of the next 5 - not guaranteed at all, but they may need to win all 6 to get into the 4.
Cairo run home:
12 A Moscow Spetsnaz
13 H Berlin Brewers
14 A Buenos Aires Armadillos
15 H New York Revolution
16 A Beijing Thunder
17 A Mexico City Suns
Tricky run home, and if things go bad for Cairo they may find themselves struggling for the 8, let along the 4. The Sands should be good enough.
Berlin v Tokyo
Tokyo's final dreams are over, but Berlin still has hope. Both teams recently ravaged by injury, and Berlin can't drop this one.
Berlin's run home:
12 H Tokyo Samurai
13 A Cairo Sands
14 H Seoul Magpies
15 A Wellington Warriors
16 H Pacific Islanders
17 A Moscow Spetsnaz
The Brewers are at 5-6, and likely they'll need to win 5 of the remaining 6 to make the finals, and with Cairo and Moscow in its way, that could prove very difficult
Tokyo's run home:
12 A Berlin Brewers
13 H Buenos Aires Armadillos
14 A New York Revolution
15 H Beijing Thunder
16 A PNL Reindeers
17 A Seoul Magpies
On a 6-match losing streak, Tokyo will look to play for pride over the last 6 rounds and maybe cause some upsets.
Buenos Aires v New Delhi
The Armadillos should break a 2-match losing streak against a struggling New Delhi... but imagine if they didn't?
Buenos Aires run home:
12 H New Delhi Tigers
13 A Tokyo Samurai
14 H Cairo Sands
15 A Seoul Magpies
16 H Wellington Warriors
17 A Sao Paulo Pumas
Armadillos lost its grip on the minor premiership but are still a lock for the top 4. Have 2 bottom 4 games, 2 should wins and 2 tough matches against Cairo and Sao Paulo.
New Delhi's run home:
12 A Buenos Aires Armadillos
13 H New York Revolution
14 A Beijing Thunder
15 H PNL Reindeers
16 A Dublin Destroyers
17 A Wellington Warriors
The Tigers poor percentage still has them in wooden spoon calculations, but they have 3 good chances of victory remaining for the season. They can still salvage this season somewhat.
New York v Dublin
New York have a new direction, but are still ravaged by injury. The Destroyers will likely show no mercy.
New York run home:
12 H Dublin Destroyers
13 A New Delhi Tigers
14 H Tokyo Samurai
15 A Cairo Sands
16 H Seoul Magpies
17 A Toronto Wolves
Tough run home for New York, with New Delhi and Tokyo its best chance for victory.
Dublin run home:
12 A New York Revolution
13 H Beijing Thunder
14 A PNL Reindeers
15 H Mexico City Suns
16 H New Delhi Tigers
17 A Pacific Islanders
The Destroyers are a lock for the top 4, and will be gunning for the Minor Premiership. A Great run home with FOUR bottom 6 teams to play, but have tricky back-to-back matches against PNL and Mexico City.
Beijing v PNL
The Thunder are only a few points away from the bottom of the ladder, and need to start showing some solid form. PNL also need every single point in a race for the 4 that could come down to percentage.
Beijing run home:
12 H PNL Reindeers
13 A Dublin Destroyers
14 H New Delhi Tigers
15 A Tokyo Samurai
16 H Cairo Sands
17 A London Royals
The Thunder have 2 good chances of victory against New Delhi and Tokyo, and maybe London on a good day.
PNL's run home:
12 A Beijing Thunder
13 H Mexico City Suns
14 H Dublin Destroyers
15 A New Delhi Tigers
16 H Tokyo Samurai
17 A Cape Town Cobras
Looking to qualify for the finals for the first time, and maybe even a top 4 spot, the Reindeers need to win probably 4 matches to guarantee a top 8 spot, and maybe all 6 for a top 4. Back to back matches against Mexico City and Dublin prove the biggest stumbling blocks.
Injuries at Royals will make the task that much harder as well. Hanners looks like gone for 4 weeks, Brown definitely out this week.

Big congratulations to Rory Sloane for becoming the first Puma to reach 50 games for the club!!! Just the 2 changes this week with the returns of the previously injured Jared Polec and Jack Gunston. They replace the injured Hamish Hartlett and unlucky Marco Paparone. Hoping to bounce back after a disappointing loss last week...

WHY ARE YOU ONLY GOING BANG AFTER WE DROP YOU BALL?!?!?!?!
And since we used sub rule, Jackson Trengove comes in for Matt Thomas :(.

You get your first emg regardless of position iirc.
Looks like Dion's back in form. Almost backed him in as co-captain with Mummy this week, but Beams' good record vs the Hawks was hard to pass up. At this stage, at least it seems it won't cost us. 8)
I wasn't considering Griff :P Cal all the way!

Moscow had a 'mare this afternoon, while Beams was disappointing as CC where I expected him to go 120-ish. Breust back to form, Puopolo handy and Dwyer solid. Looking good so far.
That's why our bench is utilities, they get first shot at filling in if possible before emergencies!

Think should still be opt in, as Thomas started as sub, yet still outscored the emergency who replaced him (Trengove who scored 68 to Thomas' 71) but as we played sub-rule, went against us. So doesn't always work in favour of the team to play it :P.

At least Fyfe, Duffman and Hibberd are fighting back.

Great score from Matty Rosa (our third 120+ for the week!!) sees us 60 points clear of PNL with one player remaining for each team. So it comes down to:
Beijing: 60 + Matt Jones (OOP) + HGA (currently 33)
PNL: Nathan Jones (CC)
If they score roughly the same as they did in the first half, we'll end up on 1,314, and PNL will end up on 1,340.
Slow down Nathan Jones, keep it up Matt Jones! :P
Curse my forward selections and CCing Kade :'(.

Another excellent effort from our New York boys. Dublin, and Holz, way too good.
A couple of winnable games coming up, need to keep up the effort.
At least my footy team won this week :P
But seriously just flowering typical that every player except for 3 does shower when I need it, and not when we beat NDT by like 200 points.

I'm disappointed we didn't have a better game. Both had some major disappointments. :(

good stuff Tokyo
Ah, I guess my luck of last year is being compensated for this year :-[
The aim now is to make it hard for my remaining opponents, and to remind the competition the Brewers have the list to be a finals force next year 8)

You're not gonna enjoy next week. ;)
Bugger! Very happy with our effort though, particularly Neale, Wines and Rosa's performances. Getting Kreuzer, Taylor and Grundy all back in the team will be a big help, and hopefully Caddy gets a full game next week
Good game Toga/Q, certainly was a close one right until the end!
Happy with the score considering Kade underperformed greatly, but we'll really have to pick it up next two weeks against Mexico and Dublin :-X.
MARSEILLES! Spoilt for choice in the reserves :P.
Belfast on fire.

And also to focus on Rhineland's goal kicking...0.18 :o
I don't get how we went from so good to so shower. We were smashing out 150+ every single week. Then 130s out of nowhere. Made no sense. Good to get a 150 back this week though. Bit concerned. We didn't really lose any players to injury, well only 1 or 2 and the average dropped huge.
Probably because my captains have averaged like 50 last few weeks now I think about it. Watch out Fellas, Dildos are back and might sneak into the 8.

As I said, been very unlucky this year :-\ so many injuries, even to depth players
Royals luck must run out soon. Only one player toning up and still winning.
