Brewers hold off Reindeer charge

Spetsnaz inflict further Saints pain

The cries of compo have never been louder from the Saints. Will the admin ever give them it?

Jaguars announce themselves

Funnily enough, the Jags actually are no stranger to the odd 170+. I'd even go as far to say they rank only behind Dublin in this stat. But these performances are always quite terrifying, and you can't help but look at the scorecard in awe.

Sheed continues to lead from the front at London, though.

That was Moscow's first win over Christchurch.

In other news, am I happy to take the 5-4 lead over bitter rival PNL? Yes. Yes I am.

[fanTCfool]

Always nice to get a win with an OOP Ruck and HGA against  ;)

Living the dream

[meow meow]

Dow with pick 1? Compo.

Darcy Moore only worth pick 30? Compo

Old and shower Gibbs, Ablett and Shaw worth more than pick 4? Compo

Toby McLean and pick 5 for Preuss? Compo

Liberatore for Blicavs? COMPO

[Jukes]

Can I also get compo for the Daniher-Sinclair trade

[Ringo]

Getting better scores this year and beaten by HGA last week and then Jags have a blue moon performance with  8 of team tonning up.  Would have beaten 7 teams with our score this week but the luck of the draw.

Know the feeling - we beat 10 other teams and drew with another but still lost lol

Damn luck of the draw :(

You had HGA last week ringo my man. I don't get HGA until Rd6!

[PowerBug]

Is it a blue moon or is it just the level the Jags will now perform at?

[upthemaidens]

Terrible performance, top 4 unlikely now.   Only good news is the return of Gaff.
    North Melbourne leaving Ahern out for the 3rd week, yeah because they're playing so well....
