Prelim Finals

[Nails]

Scotland off injured for 5-10 minutes now

We're going to lose based on injuries ::)

[LaHug]

What the flower? Nails, Heath Scotland is not in your team. He's a player for the Bison?
How long have you been naming him in your team?
We've had him all year...

[Nails]

lmao.

Pretty sure this is the first time ever.

I named the teams at uni because I had to go to work from uni.

I didn't have team lists on me that I use every week so it was a lot off the top of my head

Have Scotland in WXVs and AXVs so got confused.

flower

guess we get Staker? Shame we probably have a better option too.

[Holz]

Perhaps an auto forfeit for stealing a player :)

I'll let it slide nails I'll take you out fair and square.

On that note Simpson and Goddard going huge

Torp Simpson over jom is looking the correct move, for the short run.

[Nails]

We're missing Bob Murphy

He'd be a guaranteed lock each and every week.

Shame I had him listed I swear.

I got so confused naming teams which you can tell based on the fact I actually named my AXVs team in the EXVs thread as well.

:'(

We're missing Bob Murphy... he'd be guaranteed to play

I reckon it's a go off last week's backline thing ;)

Yeah, I think I would've noticed if you'd done it any other week.
I have no idea what's going to happen to you now. SO MUCH CONTROVERSY!

I reckon taking stalkers score is pretty lenient.

How do we know Holz didn't use his admin to edit Scotland into our lineup?

[PowerBug]

Nails i think you should just accept that you coach too many teams for the position that your life is in (being at uni) and just accept what is given to you, instead of fighting it.

[Nails]

I don't have an issue with it

I made 1 mistake in like... 70+ games.

It was because I was at uni and had to go to work at 5pm. The issue was I had work at 5pm and had no time to go home. I'll just transfer my lists to my laptop as well and then no more problems.

Unless I've done the adding up wrong, it's looking like a very handy advantage so far. Obviously, it's not over yet, but I'm liking my lead. Just need a big one from Rocky (or a quiet one from Dusty) and I should be home!

[Spinking]

At this stage the Bison look to have the Wolves measure. Amazing effort for a team that hasn't really been considered a Premiership front runner at any stage this year!

The Eagles have got the runs on the board at this stage and should account for the Metal, but Sweden's captain Montagna looms as a key player. A big score from him could throw things wide open. Both teams have been affected by selections, and hopefully this doesn't prove the deciding factor.

I think we were one of the few favourites in preseason, before Suckling went down injured.
Had the best looking backline at that stage and forwards looked stacked.
Then everything went a bit downhill but we stuck around.
