[Ringo]

Just a query with the carnage at West Coast and teams not finalised till 8:30pm AEDT can we change teams,  No issues if we can not but if allowed I would like to replace Nic Nar with Bailey Williams to avoid an OOP ruck.

[Urbaninfinnity]

I'll allow changes before the first game today, hopefully the 6 emergencies will be of assistance for those who cannot make changes

Round 2 - Captain Choccy Crushes Isotopes

Bermuda (1811) defeat Springfield (1622)

An imposing victory by Bermuda as they go 2-0 to start the season. Boak (152) and Neale (145) dominated this game though with 6 100's you'd be hard to beat anyway, not for a lack of trying by Springfield with Amon (148) and captain Wines (126) putting in a solid shift, but a lack of support including Marshall (64) and last weeks hero Walters (44) dragged the isotopes down.

Arizona (1859) defeat El Paso (1460)

Another 1800+ score in the round as Arizona cruise past El Paso here. Did I say 6 100's would be hard to beat? How about NINE. Half the side tonned up, led by Miller (147) who continues to dominate, though some average scores including Ben Brown (34) and Sean Darcy (45) stopped a truly cataclysmic total. Not much to say about El Paso sadly, the loss compounded by injuries to Merrett (111) and Wingard (21), they also keep naming Tom Phillips despite starting as sub so hopefully that doesn't come back to bite them later.

Dallas (1867) defeat Hawaii (1450)

The Dallas train is in full steam oh boy. A third 1800 score in the round and it's the largest one yet! Oliver (120) and Mills (117) put on a show leading a side with only 3 scores below 70. After landing firmly in the middle last season and with a 2nd place finish in the eliminator, is this the year that Dallas becomes a legitimate contender? Unfortunately like El Paso, not much to say for Hawaii, in a cruel twist, last weeks captain Zorko (145) far outscored this weeks captain Rowell (46). Danger (50) not much better as VC, and that forward line.... it would be handy if Hawaii had some premo forwards stashed somewhere.

Calgary (1560) defeated by Los Angeles (1766)

0-2 for the reigning premiers! Not the start you'd want, but LA get one over their rivals with another strong score. Unfortunately for Calgary, North young guns Thomas (49) and LDU (14) copped potentially serious injuries and there wasn't much hope of winning after that. Petracca (134) keeps trucking along but the story of the match was by far Andrew Brayshaw (181) who's mammoth return made up for some mediocre scores on the way to victory. LA will be there at the pointy end, and it looks like it'll be competitive at the top too.

Guadalajara (1667) defeat Washington (1570)

A return to some normality as Guadalajara pick up another win over Washington. Ben Keays (131) has started the season in serious nick and bailed out Jiath (38) and Hawkins (38) who had some shocking returns. For Washington, Cripps (123) and Ryan (127) were great but were let down by their captain Gawn (79), though Gaff and Hopper should return and provide some more grunt in the middle.
