Masten out hurts a bit, he won't play for the Rams again in 2015 even if we make the grand final. :(

lel

I was hoping somebody picked up on that. I watered down the joke. Original typed "We don't have as much bite without Masten but..." ;D

Sheridan and Laverde... that's crazy. I play against them in Worlds too! ???

You've probably never had a reason to hope they do terribly. :P

Owls will be using same team as last week as no team named.

Nige · August 22, 2015, 05:04:57 PM

Is Torp actually getting away with naming Buddy and one the lowest scoring/averaging players in his team as captain?

Surely he should be trying to name his best side, even if only for the Plate?

Vinny · August 22, 2015, 05:43:23 PM

Sorry for not naming my team, genuinely thought we were knocked out.

Should definently be some kind of penalty.

Ringo · August 23, 2015, 07:21:42 AM

Just a reminder that I will be out of internet contact from now till late Tuesday so results will be delayed till then. If teams can post their final results in here it would be appreciated.

Regarding the Magic if you have seen their Captains choices over the last 10 weeks you would have observed a different one each week. Smith with a total of 102 is not the worst choice.

There have also been other teams through out the season guilty of naming teams with non selected players so do you want a penalty for all. If so post in the rule review where we have a discussion going on on Penalties for not naming teams. What purpose though would it serve imposing a penalty in finals though if as you say is tanking?

Nige · August 23, 2015, 12:24:00 PM

Yes, let's give the cat with nine lives another chance even though he's a serial offender.

The Magic should be in finals contention and I'm sure plenty of people would be happy to coach them if applications were opened up rather than somebody half-arsing the coaching job.
