WXV Round 11: Armadillo Rampage to Claim Another?

[DazBurg]

Good one Purps just as we get the mid season revival going you have to jinx us

Well I'm refusing the jinx and making it so a double cross

The new hero in Billy Stretch will have a massive week leading us to victory and making you envious even more then now that you don't have him :P

Haha, I'm particularly envious that he has defence status :P because weirdly, I don't think I've ever seen him play there in his career...

This list of outs is really a killer.

We would be in touch of the top 4 if 6-7 of our Best 15 were out there!

[meow meow]

No excuse. Christchurch has got as many best XV players out as Moscow does. I'd rather have my best mid out instead of my ruckman anyday.

You can do the calculations if you want, but our list is very young.  ;)

That's nice. I don't know what it has got to do with your injury toll though.

Taken from Moscow's own page...

Best XV
D: C. Hooker, P. Seedsman, L. Dunn, S. Docherty
M: D. Heppell, J. O'Meara, R. Gray, D. Armitage
R: N. Naitanui
F: T. Bell, J. Hogan, J. Daniher, D. Sheed
U: R. Bastinac, L. Greenwood

Emg: C. Pearce, T. Vickery, J. Hombsch

So that's 4 of your best XV out injured, not 6-7. Having Sheed in your best XV is debatable too.

[Ricochet]

Guys look out...

TRAVIS CLOKE IS BACK


We'll understand if Moscow wish to forfeit their 4pts this weekend

You'd be doing Moscow a favour!

Thanks for taking him off our hands!

The old Cloke maybe

But this is the new and improved Cloke 2.0

120+ this week ;)

Monfries in over Daniher.
Thomas in over Bastinac.

I mention Age because our squad is far from peak level, even taking into account the ages of our outs.

there isnt that much quality on that list.

Yarran, Roughy, Murphy is as much quality (this season) as all those guys combined.

[Purple 77]

B: Boyd, McVeigh, Wilson, Reid (r)
M: Gibbs (c), Mitchell, Hartlett, Blakely
R: Cox
F: Montagna (vc), Breust, Stringer, McLean
I: Trengove, Langford

E: Dickson, Gilbert, Ellis

Confirmed :D

[Ricochet]

Good luck to the ex NDTer!

[JBs-Hawks]

Monfries in over Daniher.
Thomas in over Bastinac.

Wouldn't improve your team at all.

Losing Sheed and having to play Tyrone (who averaged more in 2015 anyway) doesn't change your best team's output either. So really, your best XV has missed a combined 30 games in total due to injury/suspension.

And Thomas is at Seoul!

Yep, quality > quantity. I'd say that having Laird, Hurley and Devon Smith all out has been far more damaging than Moscow's injury list combined.

[meow meow]

Heppell, JOM and Hooker is the same quality as Laird, Hurley and Smith.

Not sure why Holz is mentioning Murphy. It's not like he has missed bulk matches like the Moscow trio.
