Well played Tokyo, a good performance should give you the win.

With May and Jroo going down, depth will be really tested.

Thats May, Rance, Daw, Birchall gone down back.

Jroo, Greene missing from up front.

Should have played Mark O'Connor he has been pretty solid with 61 across the first 2 rounds. Sadly i might need to play him and Roids with 4 injuries down back. Would love to get Butters on field too, Kids a gun

Got a tough match with Cairo next week.

[upthemaidens]

Getting Gaff back this week will be handy.

Thunder escape Quick Sands

Boy oh boy! Wowee! Darcy MacPherson, take a bow! The young gun's 54 was JUST enough to get the win for Beijing, whose home crowd ultimately proved the difference against the Sands in a game that did the MOTR label proud justice. Commiseration Cairo, well done Beijing!

Tigers Turn

Now THAT was the Tigers we all remember from 2017. Achieving the top score for the round, there was nothing the Suns could do except whether the percentage hit. With 135, I give them a pass.

Berlin benefit from clipped Magpie wings

Whelp, that was a lucky win in the end for Berlin. Despite Dangerfield & Oliver combining for 449 points, it was an injury to Liam Shiels (14) and second-game blues for Scott (24) that killed Seoul, who would have won the game if they opted to play Haynes or Ceglar instead.

Seoul Magpies (21.9.135) lost to Berlin Brewers (22.7.139)

Samurai masterclass Dublin

Well this is the upset of the year so far! But the fashion Tokyo won this game... was a sight to behold. Lycett was huge, and was backed up by a very impressive midfield performance whilst Dublin licked their wounds on hampered players. From top scorers last week to second lowest the week after, would nonetheless be concerning for Dublin.

Tokyo Samurai (24.9.153) def Dublin Destroyers (18.10.118)

Best
Tokyo: Lachie Whitfield, Tom Phillips, Sam Powell-Pepper, Scott Lycett
Dublin: Rory Sloane, Brad Crouch, Jack Gunston, Joel Selwood
