Colorado Avalanche 15.13.103 lost to Quito Quetzals 19.10.124
(Real: 1549 vs 1864)

Are Quito a premiership contender? This week's performance indicates it! Comfortable win on the back of a very good team performance (just the one score sub-70 - and that was 66) - Jack Bowes wasn't required to kick the match winner in this universe. Colorado are slowly getting better, and are building towards a first win for 2019 - but it wasn't coming against Quito.

Best
Colorado: Ebert, Walsh, Witts, Atley
Quito: Ross, Phillips, Mumford, Swallow, Suckling, Hopper


Las Vegas Sinners 17.9.111 defeated Houston Bombers 16.11.107
(Real: 1664 vs 1603)

Not a great week for either of these sides to be honest, but the Sinners will take the four points in stride. Rockliff was back to his (non-concussed) best with a big score as captain, but they'll be disappointed by Westhoff's continued struggles since a huge round one, while Butters and Powell combining for 34 points was not ideal. Balta also scored in the teens for Houston, while they also had an OOP ruck to cover up Heeney and Ellis having very good days.

Best
Las Vegas: Rockliff, Cunningham, Lloyd, Sheppard
Houston: Heeney, Ellis, Zaharakis, Murphy, Simpson, Walters


Wisconsin Cockerels 19.8.122 defeated Ottawa Otters 16.7.103
(Real: 1833 vs 1551)

This game went pretty well as expected, save for maybe Ottawa scoring a little under expectations. Just not enough high-highs for Ottawa, while Wisconsin got that out of Whitfield (who is playing on this guy?) and Billings, and maybe underscored a little due to sub O'Meara being injured.

Best
Wisconsin: Whitfield, Billings, Gawn, Macrae, Miller, Ablett
Ottawa: Marshall, Taranto


Carolina Panthers 16.13.109 lost to Anaheim Mighty Ducks 17.10.112
(Real: 1628 vs 1684)

Yikes, now this was a game that was all over the place. Anaheim won despite captain Dangerfield only managing 66 - almost 100 points less than Carolina's captain, Brodie Grundy, put up. Carolina's midfield (for the most part) and Grundy were superb, but the rest of their team was cringeworthy. Starting with Ward's injury-affected 4, they managed to pick up only 143 points from their three utilities - a week after all three put up tons! I'm even going to put up their team scorecard because it's crazy - look at their emergencies! As aforementioned, Dangerfield was tagged down low but twin 150s from Merrett and Mundy more than picked up the slack; and, more importantly, they only had one of their XVIII score sub-50.


Best
Carolina: Grundy, Bontempelli, Shiel, Kelly, Henderson
Anaheim: Merrett, Mundy, Boak, Hawkins

Def: L McDonald 37 - L Ryan 93 - D McStay 60 - A Naughton 60
Mid: C Ward 4 (SUBBED) - D Shiel 114 - M Bontempelli (VC) 127x1.5 - Josh Kelly (EVC) 114 - C E-Yolman 67 - R Henderson 102
Ruck: B Grundy (C) 160x2.
Fwd: J Roughead 82 - J Stringer 69 - D Rioli 54 - B Mihocek 35
Util: T Kelly (M/F) 39 - S Menegola (F/M) 51 - C Rozee (D/F) 53
add HGA: 4
Emerg: A Tomlinson (M) 95- R Stanley (R) 93 - A M-Tippa (F) 143 - R Atkins (SUBBED) 83


San Francisco Grizzlies 16.10.106 lost to New Brooklyn Hawks 19.7.121
(Real: 1588 vs 1812)

Phew am I relieved, after Neale's 177 as captain against myself last week I only had to put up with a 169 as captain this week. I'm just glad it wasn't the difference this time around, as a forward line with a best score of 61 was crippling and Jack Steven not showing up (literally) didn't help either. The BOG is an obvious one, but saints pair Newnes and Steele also picked up some slack.

Best
San Francisco: Stewart, Pittard, Martin, Coniglio
Brooklyn: Cripps, Newnes, Liberatore, Steele


Boston Terriers 19.11.125 defeated Chicago Sharks 18.11.119
(Real: 1870 vs 1779)

Chicago were right in the hunt to pull off a big away win in a high scoring affair, but the last two players on their XVIII - Hipwood and Sinclair - could only manage 58 points between them. Aside from those two, both teams played very well and could well meet later on in finals.

Best
Boston: Redden, Neale, Goldstein, Sidebottom, Laird, Smith
Chicago: Hurn, Sicily, Yeo, Hunt, Gaff, Lobb, Andrews, Parker

Hawks have started the season well.
