WXV Grand Final - Suns and Pumas in the match we had to have

[Nails]

Damn nails why you being so nice to me? :o

In regards to the match, commiserations maca, it was a great final! Buntine was fantastic, and even though it was the only game he played for the whole season the trade of Cross for Polec and Buntine was totally worth it! ;D

Don't want extra cocky maca being able to say he won 2 seasons in a row etc.

I want to be most successful XVs coach there is, not Maca with 2 back to back.

and
Coach CROWSFAN

Thought I would go through the team and see where each one of these 15 players were selected in the drafts, and whether I had originally selected them, the ones in red were originally drafted by me. The ones in blue were traded to me before the 2012 season, and the ones in green were traded to me before the start of the 2013 season.

So 9 players originally selected by me, 1 traded in last year and 5 traded in this year. Also some picks taken very deep in to the draft, Masten and Minson both in round 20, but the more impressive were Harwood in round 28 and Roberton round 30! Then also two players taken in the national draft already tasting premiership success in their second season! Go PUMAS! ;D

Thanks huggy. We were never going to overcome the Metal's massive score this round unfortunately :(
Still second place is a great effort for the Bison :)

[CrowsFan]

Oh and congrats to chumpy for winning the reserves premiership with Cape Town!

[Maca24]

Well done cf!
Bad choice of captain cost me.
Had Bartel as vice and Curren as 1st emergency.
You deserved it :)

[CrowsFan]

Thanks maca :)
Although to be fair if you had named Bartel captain you would have scored 1,591 which still wouldn't have been enough to get the win.
And only someone as crazy as me would hand someone their debut in the grand final! :P

Anyway looks like we have just added another chapter to our already long rivalry. On to next year now :)

D- H. Scotland (Schulz 61 ), Burgoyne 105, Brennan 81, Gilbert 92
M- D. Swan (VC) 100, M. Boyd 135, M. Barlow 66, K. Cornes 137
R - R. Warnock 64
F - S. Johnson 202 (C), P. Chapman 113, D. Petrie 143, B. Harvey 127
B - D. Cox 158, D. Cross 127

Dillos would have got 171 :(

[Jukes]

Spetsnaz would have been missing Fyfe, Ward, Treloar, Darling, Walters, Adams and NicNat from our best XV/very close, so safe to say giving Tambling a grand final run wouldn't have been too flash :P

Congrats CF, nice job! 8)
