Bit of a mixed bag in terms of scoring for Quito this week, but some monsters from Rich and of course Tommy J

[Jukes]

Carolina Panthers 20.7.127 defeated Ottawa Otters 15.10.100
(Real: 1903 vs 1499)

Another week another win for the rampaging Panthers, as not even a horrible score by captain Dusty could stop them.

Best
Carolina: Mumford, Roberton, Menegola, Bontempelli, Kennedy, Grundy, Shiel, Docherty
Ottawa: Grigg, Cunnington, McGovern, Prestia


Wisconsin Cockerels 17.12.114 drew with Houston Bombers 17.12.114
(Real: 1705 vs 1705)

It's a draw! It's UNBELIEVABLE but it's happened! I though Mitch Duncan had won it late for the Cockerels, but Motlop was just as good as this game goes down in the history books. The unethical choice to VC loophole Shuey worked, I guess!

Best
Wisconsin: Shuey, Duncan, Zorko, Kennedy, Macrae
Houston: Sloane, Motlop, Riewoldt, Adams


Las Vegas Sinners 19.10.124 defeated Quito Quetzals 18.7.115
(Real: 1862 vs 1721)

Pretty great game between the two teams on the bottom! Really feel for Quito, who gave it their all lead by Lynch and Rich who went big, but it just wasn't enough as captain Rockliff was immense for the Sinners, while Tex Walker just about matched Lynch up forward.

Best
Las Vegas: Rockliff, Walker, Fyfe
Quito: Lynch, Rich, Haynes, Reid, Ross


Reserves
Rockford Bears 8.4.52 defeated Colorado Bootleggers 6.8.44
Suffolk Terriers 8.5.53 lost to Harlem Naggers 11.7.73
Stanford Cardinal 3.6..24 lost to Birmingham Dragons 5.5.35
North Carolina Tar Heels: 8.8.56 defeated Montreal Moose 6.5.41
Milwaukee Roosters 7.9.51 lost to Rio Grande Valley Rockets 12.4.76
Nevada Desert Coyotes 7.5.47 lost to Galapagos Tortoise 7.9.51

Can I take back my support of the loophole? :P

Great game!

[powersuperkents]

Can I take back my support of the loophole? :P

Great game!

Awesome match - I thought I had lost it when I saw Motlop's score. If only I had a proper ruck hahaha

I'm certain that this result is unprecedented

[elephants]

The fact we are still calling the loophole unethical in this day and age is a farce :P

[fanTCfool]

Ah, what can you do about Rocky going bananas! Looks like we would have beaten a few sides again this week but that's the joys of a fixture, at least it's clear that the bottom sides are no easy-beats  ;)

[Jukes]

Nige's scores probably won't be up tonight as we're both pretty busy, if I find time I'll have a go at them

[Jukes]

And so I ended up doing all of Nige's scores :P

San Francisco Grizzlies 18.10.118 defeated Anaheim Mighty Ducks 17.9.111
(Real: 1770 vs 1672)

This sure does make up for losing in the ressies! Wasn't as convincing as I'd have liked, but good enough with our two best players out and our first ever player Kieren Jack playing awfully, while also taking revenge for the finals knockout last season. Eddie Betts starred as best on ground, while the Ducks, losing by just 98 SC points, would've preferred a more Dangerfield-like score than 90 in a massive win over the hawks. Both of these teams have strong finals potential, but will need to improve their scoring to hit this potential and take the battle to other heavyweights such as Boston and Carolina.

Best
San Francisco: Betts, Martin, Goddard, Hawkins
Anaheim: Mundy, Merrett, Colyer, Hodge


Chicago Sharks 16.14.110 defeated Colorado Avalanche 16.11.107
(Real: 1651 vs 1600)

The Sharkies get home in a close one to leapfrog over the Avalanche to 2-2 and will hope this can kickstart their campaign. Yeo was a matchwinner in the middle, but they'll want Ryder back soon. Colorado really should've won this to be honest, as two horrible scores - Polec 32 and Elliott 28 - cost them dearly.

Best
Chicago: Yeo, Lobb, Oliver, Gaff
Colorado: Murphy, Scully, Hall


Boston Terriers 21.8.134 defeated New Brooklyn Hawks 16.9.105
(Real: 2010 vs 1573)

Real percentage booster here I'm afraid :/

Best
Boston: Dahlhaus, Neale, Howe, Laird, Martin, Selwood, Priddis, Gibbs
New Brooklyn: Jacobs, Brown
