EXV Finals Week 2

[nas]

Belgium v Belarus - surely Belgium cant go out in straight sets, if their fwd line doesn't turn up its a real possibility. Trendy (Treloar/Grundy) could carry Belarus to a huge  upset victory.   

Storm v Macedonia - This will be a great game between two very solid teams who you can rely on turning up week in week out.

Pulling a risk here and going Jake Stringer under the roof and fired up against his old team instead of my Hawks Gunston, Wingard or Breust in 3-degree freezing cold conditions (with no long sleeves :P ) against the Giants.

Just changing Gunner to Wingard as emergency as he's a late out!

Probably needed more from Treloar to win with the talent gap elsewhere. He was hot early but faded second half. Bummer.

I think you're looking very good considering HGA will be a whopping 41.

when i put in the first few scores i was thinking wow we might see a monster, but there where quite a few passengers to go with massive games from the likes of the Crouch Bros, Daisy, Witho and Newman.

wowee i did say this was 2 really solid good team. Storm just had a few less passengers and the HGA helped put away what was a close game, if the Wolves had of been in Macedonia they might have been able to creep over the line, but wasnt to be.

Storm Advance.

A good score propped up big by Lyons that fwd line still causing problems with Cameron and Menegola barely putting up 100 between them.

1379  it was a pretty valiant effort and what a remarkable season, but in the end they just didnt have the fire power to take out the Bashers with Trendy only putting up barely over 300, they really needed 400+ from the pair which was totally possible but just wasnt to be.

Belarus certainly my favorite story this year and im excited to see what they can do next year.
