WXV Round 3: PNL & Berlin Sweating on First Win

[Toga]

Yeah I think we lose.

Filthy with Lamumba who scored 3 points in the second half and Christensen. Caddy poor as well.

[Purple 77]

Pre-scaled, I have PNL, New York & Seoul win the closer matches of the round!

Captain Danger had to get 127 to win, and he got 153 in the end

I think we've just gotten over the line thanks to Duncan doing well

We need to have a meeting with our leadership group I think. 2 poor captains games in a row.

Lewis also your HGA this week!  :o

Just give Oliver and Caleb the joint rising star for the year right now!

Fine by me.

Just give Oliver and Caleb the joint rising star for the year right now!

Oliver a  spud, getting outscored by a first year key position player.

Caleb aint bad, kinda not really a rookie

Hopefully the poor run of Captains choice is behind us now

Duncan 25 and Lewis 40 odd is laughable

Waite is just begging to get elevated to the group!

Tell you what though, at the start of the season seeing we had Berlin and Moscow - if you had of told me we'd be 3-0 I'd say you were extremely optimistic. Awesome start, even with our Captain choices!

Suns make Glass out of Sands

I challenged them a week ago to do it, and the Suns have. They've cracked the 150 barrier and reaffirmed everyone's thoughts about them as a premiership contender. Tom Papley finally gets the debut; his score showing the difference in intensity from Reserves to Senior WXV football. The Sands wouldn't be THAT disappointed with scoring 130... nothing wrong with 130.

Brewers Finally Produce

It happened two weeks later than what they'd have liked, but the Brewers posted the win the OH SO DEARLY needed. Max Gawn was sublime and Dixon responded with a rest. Cape Towns' midfield was probably what let them down in the end, and would be looking for a response from them next week (well, assuming Dom Tyson doesn't get dropped, ammiright?)

Destroyers go BOOM!

Yeah. Dublin doesn't like losing very much. HGA was Marc Murphy. I'll say that again, Dublin's HGA was Marc Murhpy's below par 64... god damn. Scrub Goldstein did OK despite getting flogged for most of his match against Gawn. But, I'm sure to coach Holz' surprise, they didn't top score this week  :o Buenos Aires... well, they probably weren't ever going to win this match anyway.

Dublin Destroyers (26.10.166) def Buenos Aires Armadillos (19.10.124)

Revolution Rampage despite Leadership Struggle

Two weeks in a row New York's captain scored below 50, and two weeks in a row they win. Pretty impressive! But they'd be relieved they came up against a depleted Spetsnaz this week whom, despite Jesse's influence, are obviously missing some key personnel. Still, the Spetsnaz can still do damage this year.

New York Revolution (22.7.139) def Moscow Spetsnaz (20.9.129)
