Wolves out-wrestle Thunder

In a very surprisingly low scoring game, Toronto has come out on top with the fewest underperformers. Eight teams outscored Toronto this week, and yet the Wolves found a way.

Hmm.

New Delhi capitalise on Sh!t Seoul day

You name it, Seoul suffered it. Two late withdrawals to premos, three sub 40 scores from players averaging a helluva lot more and the Captaincy/HGA triple.

But New Delhi put on a masterclass, and really pulled ahead of the disappointing scores from Toronto, Beijing and Cairo.

Seoul Magpies (18.11.119) lost to New Delhi Tigers (24.9.153)

Seoul: Nick Haynes, Toby McLean

Islanders rediscover Power

That's the Islanders we've all been waiting for! A tremendous display from captain Bont set up the performance, with Gaff following suit. Some of Dublin's players have been rediscovering some form of their own, but not all at once yet.

Rio Rampage Bruise Brewers

Yeah, fark. GG Rio.

Still, I'm not too disappointed with how my Brewers went tbh, with some serious firepower waiting in the sidelines. But RIP percentage.

Cape Town rally late against Revolution

It was looking grim early, but C/VC duo Cunnington & Duncan righted the ship, and the Cobras will continue onward. The Revolution have really struggled for two weeks now, surely they've got more in them?

Hewett Heroics condemn Samurai

Moscow, you could either say it was a good all round performance... or you could say it was ALL George Hewett (154), who was one of only two centurions for Moscow. Tokyo was split down the middle; quality, and poop.

Dillos ROB Suns

The Dillos' patience is starting to be rewarded, both in formline, and with its project players, none moreso than Reilly O'Brien (123) who is starting to justify the resistance to many trade advances. Mexico City's Aaron Naughton though is probably the hottest thing going around atm!

Ruthless Royals cripple Saints

If only London played one of the big 4 (Tigers aside)! A fantastic performance from London will give its ladder position a much needed shot in the arm, whilst Christchurch will just reset again for a competitive performance.

Sands sink in expectation; Reindeers Rise

I mean, you just look at this result, shake your head and laugh. Only the Sands could come off a giant slaying month, cockily rest a 90+ mid, who true to form, then gets 126, have another player in your emergences score 131, and lose to a team they may or may not finish in the bottom 4.

Stick it up 'em PNL! A great win!
