WXV Round 6: Modern Titans take to Crooke Park

[Purple 77]

Reindeer Capitalise on Tired Tigers

PNL would be happy with the win... but scoring still remains a concern. The Tigers had their first real shocker for the year and that's understandable given their much increased output this year compared to last year. Still, the Tigers would be filthy at letting this opportunity go, and especially at its experienced defenders.

Samurai Blades outmatch Spetsnaz AK's

Like the title, this just doesn't make any sense. I'm still dirty at you Tokyo, do this next week and MAYBE I'll take you seriously again  :P the Spetsnaz just need more Hogan unfortunately (and their suspended players... and JOM).

Berlin does it without Fyfe

Sigh... but for how long? Pretty stoked with the score though. The Wolves would be thrilled about Pittard's season however and that continued this week, but it certainly got a lot harder when Captain Walker (41) throws in a shocker. Still, promise persists at Toronto.

Surprised as well haha glad to get another win after a shocking run. Now just need more defenders named...

[Purple 77]

A really low-scoring round just quietly... *checks to see if emergency scores are added up*

Nah yeah, a weirdly low scoring round!

Pacific square the ledger against Christchurch

Dublin make it two from two against Rio

Mexico city makes it five straight against London

But Tokyo breaks through for its first win against Moscow!

[Torpedo10]

Tokyo would've beaten Dublin this week.  :o

More of the same for us unfortunately, our season is very much on a tightrope. We just can't put up consistent performances with our guns falling by the wayside.

[Nige]

End of round stuff up tomorrow morning. :)

[GoLions]

Ideally, we'll have Beams and Roberton back in the next week or two. Add to that Adams, Kmac, and Smiddy missing this week, we should hopefully be a lot more competitive very soon!

[My Chumps]

:(

Thought we had it wrapped up.

[RaisyDaisy]

A score of 147 and our ressies scored 155.

Not a bad week, but we still need to sort our bottom 3-5

[Toga]

You were unlucky mate. A couple of things went against you in what was a tight game.

Yep no room for error in such a tight game!

Had Lambert had of not been subbed out and hit his average of 72 we would've been home though which makes it a bit frustrating. Hill had an absolute shocker, still trying to figure out which of him and Polec are ahead in the pecking order at the moment.

Yeah we both had a few players that really disappointed. I think we are both even teams, just comes down to luck

[DazBurg]

luckily we escaped with a win  :-[

[Levi434]

Great match Holz. Tight 'til the very end.

Hopefully that type of rubbish in regards to late outs doesn't happen every week though ahaha.

Hope we meet again at full strength and both have as strong a team as possible.

Purps has missed something big!

After 5 seasons of trying, the PACIFIC ISLANDERS have finally won an Oceania Cup! Having lost 3 to Wellington, and one to Christchurch, in the last 4 attempts.

Michael Barlow takes the Schwass/Naitanui Medal, in a highlight to what has been a difficult season for him.
