thompson 67 NDS sub 70

Sloane 140 is good, not sure what Goldy is on. I need 120+

edit NDS had a big last half of the 4th quarter
78 from him and 236 from Goldy is solid

kind of wanted 350 min from those two.

521/5 is not too bad, was looking in trouble. My big guns have played though.

[PowerBug]

Oh crap, I named my side here but when I saw Greenwood was off I made the appropriate change in AXV, but didn't touch this side.

I guess I'm stuck with it aren't I? :\

[PowerBug]

Today went terribly I am out :(

[PowerBug]

Berlin is out UAE scored 1,815 this week (2360 in AXV scoring)


Good luck beating that Dublin.

Hmmm

Semi Finals Results
(Drag image to new tab to view)
I may have made a mistake so let me know if you see one.



UAE WOW!
UAE Tigers(1817.86) Defeated Berlin Brewers(1325) 
Final Scores:


Wow! All I can say is wow. Even if I think of it backwards it’s still wow! I’m pretty sure this is the highest score I’ve ever seen and it may never be topped! However I'm probably wrong and Holz will tell me if I am. Berlin never had a chance against this epic UAE team. Prior to this week I said that UAE have the best forward line in the comp and I was right with them all scoring well; Dusty(197 SB), Swan (182 SB), Deledio (136 SB) and Goddard (155 SB). Not even a good brew from Fyfe would have saved Berlin in this one. Throughout the Champs League UAE may have been flying under the radar but not anymore! They have to be considered the favourite now!



PNL Take Advantage of Lifeless Bears
PNL Reindeers(1480) Defeated Bangladesh Bears(1430.90) 
Final Scores:


PNL did what they had to do in this one. The Bears still played well but it was just some serious spudding from Lachie Hansen and Jack Grimes which ultimately cost them this match. Kind of sad to see the Bears go as they have been quite entertaining throughout the comp but as we know, only the best in the world will survive here! PNL are a team that has always been around that 1430 to 1530 mark but in order to become Champion they’ll have to beat 1530 twice in a row! Can they do it? I think they certainly can if things go their way.



Dublin Keep Rolling Along
Dublin Destroyers(1670) Defeated Bradford Badgers(1218.79) 
Final Scores:


Dublin continue their great form and and set up a mouthwatering clash next week against the Tigers. Delicious, scrumptious, dandy, lovely, beautiful. Whatever adjective you can find could be used to describe how well Dublin have played in this tournament. They always go big and are yet to be challenged. Honestly I’d love to see what Dublin could score if all their players fired on the same week.



Saints On The March
Christchurch Saints(1582) Defeated Kathmandu Eskimos(1310.89) 
Final Scores:


Throughout the first few weeks of the Champions League I’ll admit that I was very critical of Christchurch even questioning how they made it past the group stage. But over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been converted into an outright Christchurch fan! You have to admire the courage that Coach meow has, for example, who would have captained Aaron Sandilands this week? Meow would have. And he did! That move payed off big time with big Sandi getting a massive 150x2=300! I’d love to see Christchurch win it all and they have PNL next week in a match they will really fancy themselves to win and go on to the final!




What treat we have for the next 2 weeks! It seems as though a 1550 score won’t even cut it! Who will have the right to call themselves the Best XV's team in the world?

Again if you see any mistakes let me know.
