Ok, all team lineups should now be updated in UF, as posted by everyone in this thread :)

If you find any errors in your lineup, let me know!

Owls off to an absolute flyer against the Rams, with Captain Pendles, Gibbs, and JJ leading the way. Rams will need something special from Beams as their captain, along with Heppell and Goldy. But unfortunately, they might be a bit too far behind already to get back into this one.

Murphy was huge for the Bunnies, but Curnow was disappointing with the C. Howe was extremely good for the Leeches after a poor showing from Rance. Think Leeches with HGA are looking like slight favourites atm, but a bit too early to call it yet, may depend on how the little master goes.

Hedgies with the early lead thanks to Dusty, but McVeigh and Montagna both out will hurt them, and possibly even cost them the match. A solid start for the Breakers who will be hoping for an early season upset.

Werewolves have started very very well, and still have a lot of firepower to come. Hoods will have an OOP ruck as well, so hard to see them getting over the line here.

Hawks taking a small lead over the Magic early on, but their midfield could easily get them back ahead in this one. Both teams missing some players for round 1...think this will be one of the closer matches of the round, Hawks might just be able to get the job done though.

Badgers have had a good start, but nothing outstanding yet. Dragons similar, probably just a bit behind atm but with guys like Rocky, T Mitchell, Zerrett, etc to come...anything could happen. Badgers with HGA probably slight favourites atm, but really will depend on whether the midfield of the Dragons can put up some 200+ scores or not.

This game between the Steins and the Giants has started off really well. Adams was huge as captain for the Giants, and has them slightly ahead atm considering how many players each team has had played at this point in time. A big game from Gawn though would tip things the other way. Will side with the Steins at home here.

Not much happened so far between the Hurricanes and the Knights. 'Canes forwards Stringer and Edwards both disappointing, and when your opponent has Danger with the big C, a win is never guaranteed. Still, you would back Hastings at home, but an upset here would not surprise.

Westy proving to be a ripping recruit!!! On another note pleased with new recruit JPK, and also pleased with the roles Arma and Trengove have been given :P
