WXV Round 3: The Rise of Beijing and Pacific

[Hellopplz]

Go the Thunder :o :o :o.

Priddis + 62

vs

Pavlich (x1.5) + Butler

In another lowish scoring game, looks like you guys have us! Pav had a great first half so getting scaled from there. Priddis won't do enough and think Butler has get efficiency... So close but hope our luck doesn't run out yet!

And Toronto hand us our first loss of the season by about 40-50 points :(.

Fricken Cordy :P.

Maybe you should...

... cut the cord?

I was going to say at least he beat last weeks score...but I can't even say that :P

Great tight tussle HP/Daz, always a pleasure :)

And great fightback by Beijing! Well done guys

Mundy 96, you beter get scaled up or you might be dropped.

Walters after a slow start puts up a nice 94. Hopefully he can keep that up.

[Purple 77]

I suspected the rise of Beijing before all of you lot... WHERE IS MY KUDOS TOGES?! I had faith!  :P

Gotta give it to New York, they were a step above! And will we finally see the lightning after hearing about the thunder for so long this year?

^^ after pre-season round 1  :P

I'm sure Daz supports that idea after fighting to keep him this past off-season :P.

Good game though RB, was a very good match and hopefully sparks something in our team. Toronto once again beats us when we needed a win :(.

We suck. 4 players subbed. 4 players injured. Our gun ruck now sucks due to some stupid new scoring. Our best forward now sucks as well. Our 3rd and 4th best scorers this week weren't even in the team. Nobody in the team other than our co-captains scored over 100. May as well start tanking for the No.1 pick. :( :P

Thanks for your support Purps >:D

Don't know how it happened Jroo but I guess we will take it! 8)

Might even have a rising star nominee in Timmy Broomhead coming in this week as well? ;)

[Hellopplz]

You're bound to get a few correct here and there Purps :P. Beijing looking like GWS this season, finally blossoming!

[Purple 77]

Some would argue otherwise, but this is MY MATCH OF THE ROUND! This is a huge danger game for the Suns, after capitulating last week with the absence of key players. Beijing convincingly outscored the Suns last week and would really give themselves a chance to do what would have been unthinkable a month ago; and beat the Mighty Mexico City Suns. Beijing last week had a ripper game, scoring the third highest score of the week, It was just a shame they had to be playing a side possessed. The loss aside, the hype continues for the improving Thunder. However, I think the Mexico City crowd might end up being a little louder than the die-hard fans from Beijing (whom have booked out 30 flights already). Mexico City to win on HGA for mine!

Was mostly correct on this too  :P (except the result :X)

I guess that makes Cairo the West Coast or Gold Coast this season. A few key injuries, youth can't cope and we're cooked.

We were rubbish this week. Our mids really need to lift. Rio easily getting the win.
