Toronto shock Thunder

A disastrous result for Beijing, making finals a mammoth task from here. It's only Round 6 though, so it's not impossible, but some special performances will be needed. But Toronto! That's easily their best score since 2015, thanks to Pendlebury and returning player...

Destroyers step on Dillo Shells

Sands sweep up Spetsnaz

Another VERY impressive performance by the Sands, and that's even with their bench combining for 37 points! An improved performance my Spetsnaz though; a score that would have beaten 7 teams this week.

Destroyers step on Dillo Shells
Can't help but notice Cale Hooker wallowing away in the reserves this week.

We just have so many guys to choose from it gets hard...

But seriously, how many mistakes this week did i mate...named Dumont captain and parish VC, neither in leadership group. Named Bailey Rice...idk. And forgot to name Hooker. I honestly dont know what happened.

The Suns Great Escape

Gee, the Cobras had this game totally under control, but they just needed SOMEONE to stand up and score a century! Their midfielders should be ashamed. Meanwhile, the Suns continue to win and worry at the same time.

Saints slice Samurai

This was a good performance by Christchurch! A deserving win with an even contribution across the board; a confidence inspiring win. Meanwhile, Tokyo just needed their leaders to step up with Williams.

London cause Royal Upset

... wow. There was the Olive, but no Field this week for Seoul, and ultimately Captain Danger's 65 carries much of the blame for Seoul's first loss of the season. Meanwhile, Callum Sinclair? Take a bow, the Royals claim another!

Islanders with a sPacific purpose

^^ 1 a week is my quota.

Tippett went down, but the Revolution luck finally failed to grind out another win against too quality of an opposition. 281 points fell short of the 300 I wanted... not impressed, guys.

A GAJly Rio Day

Just the casual 420 points contributed by GAJ in this one; 412 more than the OOP Rohan did :P absolutely nothing the Reindeers could do, but 137 is still respectable.

Nice choke Cape Town

:'(

The Head2Head now reads 8 - 1 in the Suns favour  :-X I think that could be the first 8-fa? Maybe Buenos Aires against Sao Paulo reached 8... don't remember.

And Christchurch makes it 3 -0 against Tokyo
