EXV Finals Week 1

[Holz]

Belgian Bashers v Russian Roulettes

Belgium take on Russia in a game Belgium should win but you never know when a bad Belgium can turn up

Greek Titans v Spanish Stallions

Greece secure 2nd spot but get the unlucky draw of playing probably the best team in the comp.

Swiss Storm v Hungarian Hulks

Storm would be huge favorites with HGA and Hungary missing basically a full squad of mids but with the likes of Petracca who knows.

Svalbard Valkries v Belarus Bison

Another close battle here, if Valks can repeat the effort that got them into finals then they should win this one. I dont write off a team with Grundy though.

BISON

Def: Lachlan Weller, Jayden Short, James Aish, Jake Lever
Mid: Travis Boak (VC), Hugh McLuggage, Ed Curnow, Jared Polec
Ruck: Brodie Grundy (C)
Fwd: Jy Simpkin, Izak Rankine, Tim Membrey, Jamie Cripps
Uti: Kyle Langford (M/F), Toby Nankervis (R)

Emg: Nick Blakey (F), Harry Cunningham (D), Quinton Narkle (M), Hayden Crozier (D)

Too many major injuries for us with Treloar, Tucker, Dunstan all out for far too long and Houston's suspension the icing on the cake. Can't expect to make it far with those outs and a relatively shallow scoring depth. Will be lucky to scrape through this week and will need big scores from Grundy, Boak, Nank to have any chance.

Assuming one or both of Polec/Narkle not named, I'll have to shuffle around a few players and play a M/F in the mids again...

[Holz]

Belgium Bashers   535/8 (67 average) v   Russian Roulettes 399/5 (80 average)

Nice start for Russia with Clark letting down Belgium and really only Danger standing up for the Bashers.

   
Greek Titans 466/8 (58 average) v Spanish Stallions 524/7 (75 average)      

Greece better get moving or this game could be over soon.       

Swiss Storm 388/5 (78 average) v Hungarian Hulks 409/7 (58 average)

Speaking of games over this one probably is with the Storm having HGA to be added. Even Goldy didn't turn up for Hungary who are clearly in rebuild mode.

Vatican Valkyries 316/6 (53 average) v Belarus Bison 573/8 (72 average)

Its Lmac + spuds for the Valks bit the Bison are chugging along nicely and they must be super happy with that mid season Curnow pick up.


Please note this is a rough guide, I haven't included HGA and i might have missed players who did not play this round as im only picking up who has played.

I forgot to drop Polec when he wasn't named again last week. Whoops. I guess that means Langford moves into mids and my first emergency comes into utility? I don't trust Blakey after last week's game so I'm shuffling Es...

That is correct Cunningham comes in to replace polec.
