Preview :
what the flower its these two showerheads again?

I guess it's fine since Wisconsin & Las Vegas finished top 2 on the ladder so we get to see the two best teams play off for the ultimate glory.

The Miller/Macrae/Parish/Gawn/Moore/Darcy led Cockerels will be keen to get their revenge after that pesky noob coach Stig stole the '21 flag from right under their noses.
The Swans Sinners are seeking back-to-back glory and Chad Warner to send out photos of his premiership medal around his dick.

Coach Urbs will be sweating on the fitness of JDG , whilst Coach Stig has worries of his own, with NicNat unlikely to play and Jaidyn Stephenson catching spuditis for the nth time this year.


Prediction:
Despite two shaky finals performances, Wisconsin to go West Coast 2006, despite Sydney playing St. Kilda

With 8 (including C) and 10 (including VC) players to play it's still very early on, but you'd imagine Vegas are down at the moment thanks to Fyfe and Durham...

Wisconsin Cockerels 17.12.114 lost to Las Vegas Sinners 18.8.116
(Real: 1711 vs 1747)

Back to back! The Sinners hoist the flag high after coasting home on the backs of their Swans, a common theme in club history. Fyfe and Durham had them behind, but they were the better team when it mattered today, with Darcy Moore's 127 earning him Best on Ground honours. Vegas weren't exactly outstanding and I'm sure plenty of other sides who didn't make it would have cleaned up this week, but they were there and in front when it mattered. CoachStig makes it two cups from two seasons, and of course some credit has to fly back to SydneyRox for building a lot of this team, and Jukercoach for injecting some spirit (and Thymosin Beta-4) into the Sinners.

And if Vegas weren't outstanding, Wisconsin have a lot of soul searching to do after putting up one of their worst scores over Urbs' time as coach (and even before that). They lacked a single 110+ score, shocking for a team that is built on banking huge scores from guys like Macrae (99), Touk (104), Gawn (74), Parish (103), and Darcy (83), among others. Hell, they only had three tons total (plus a 99 and a 98) - 8 of the 18 scoring somewhere in the 70s is damning. They had another very strong season and credit to them and Urbs for revving them for another premiership tilt, but maybe there's something to this curse of the Duggbino...

Best
Wisconsin: Clark, Miller, Parish
Las Vegas: Moore, Butters, Petracca, Rowbottom, O’Meara, English
