WXV Round 3: PNL & Berlin Sweating on First Win

[Purple 77]

Tigers Roar and Wolves Yelp

The Tigers have claimed their first 2016 victory with quite the impressive score too! Despite the Wolves putting in a much improved effort, Ziebell couldn't tackle his way to victory by himself as the New Delhi depth came to fore.

Reindeer Relief; Thunder Silenced

Phwoah, it was close til the end despite the scoreboard! Allen Christensen put in a shocker when Beijing needed at least a respectable performance out of him, whilst PNL will wipe off sweat for the time being in posting this crucial win.

Jaguars War Cry heard Globally

Shieeettt. That's two weeks in a row now that the Jags have top scored for the round as they officially decree that they are the form side of the comp and the benchmark for top 4 aspiring teams. What a story! What could the Islanders do? Well, still post a respectable score I suppose, but the news here is Rio, and they are here for the premiership.

Danger with more Seoul than Saints

Now, this was a much closer game than what the scoreboard suggests. Captain Dangerfield was the last man standing, and he needed 255 points (but 127 really) to get the Magpies over the line... so he posted 166 instead in a historic win for Seoul! The Saints needed much more from Captain Griffen in the end and will wait nervously to see the extent of Sandilands injury. What an upset though!

Mexico City make it 5 straight against Cairo

Rio & Seoul square the ledger against Pacific & Christchurch

New Delhi post their first win against Toronto

[RaisyDaisy]

Rio looking scary

If we can't win it (I know we won't) than I'm rooting for Rio to knock off Dublin and Mexico and win this year!

If we can get our Captain to lift we can be competitive with the top teams (but probably be short)

Rio looking the goods so far this year but it is only early.

[Torpedo10]

It was always going to be an up and down season for us.

Kudos to New York, have always loved their team structure.

[Nige]

Just a heads up, not really feeling up to doing the end of round stuff tonight, I'll chuck it up first thing tomorrow morning though.  :)

Murphy out could be a big big loss if he is gone for the year.

its a great team but the bench looks a little bit of a worry. A few injuries and its in big big trouble.

[Adamant]

Their reserves are averaging a casual 140ppg. :P
