cant believe it but forgot my favourite player not named Todd.

Captain Brad not named.

[LaHug]

I can't believe I saw the late changes, thought "Luke Dunstan will probably score higher than Simpkin vs. Geelong" but didn't think "Toby Nankervis will probably score very highly against an amateur ruckman". 45 points down the drain. Hope it's not a difference maker.

England

D: Jeremy Howe, Liam Duggan, Shaun Atley, Josh Rotham
M: Titch (C), Noah Anderson, Willem Drew, Zach Tuohy
R:Patrick Ryder
F: Josh Dunkley (VC), Tom McDonald, Jack Darling, Harry Schoenberg
I: Charlie Dixon, Joe Daniher

E: Ben Ainsworth, Sam Berry, Liam Baker

There's nobody in the DT database called Titch so you'll get Dunkley as captain and have to play Ainsworth. Sorry, they're the rules.

That would increase his score by 21 points

Got to say this the most interesting EXV Home and Away Round ever.

We had a draw, 3 1 point games, one of the highest scoring games ever and the spoon favourite taking out a juggernaut. If that doesnt say its an even comp im not sure what will.


CROATIAN CRUSHERS   (25.   7.   157   )   DEF   SPANISH STALLIONS   (24.   6.   150   )

One of the biggest scores ever, got to feel for Spain dropping a 150 and losing by the biggest margin of the week. Redden Jroo Sheed Walsh Mills all went 100+ but the real reason for the big week is nobody had a bad game. For Spain they pretty much put up an equal performance, they just didn't have the home crowd cheering them on.

ICELAND POLAR BEARS   (20.   7.   127   )   Lost to   GREEK TITANS   (20.   8.   128   )

The difference make in this one was big Max Gawn, he carried the team just over the line with the help of Steele and Crisp. Ryan Duncan Zerett and Amon were great but not up to Gawn level.

RUSSIAN ROULETTES   (20.   6.   126   )   Lost to   MACEDONIAN WOLVES   (20.   7.   127   )

Russia had the big blow with Ridley getting knocked out early, Bont stepped up big time as the captain but in the end the lack of a ruck cost them. Witherden coming in for a monster and then having some elite ruck work from Darcy got the wolves the win.

BELARUS BISON   (21.   10.   136   )   DEF   SVALBARD VALKYRIES   (21.   9.   135   )

The Bison snuck home the win on HGA even though they didnt play Nank. It was a top heavy peformance with Grundy Dale Clugg Treloar Langford firing but loads of passengers. Houston got injured early but not early enough for a sub. Valsk has big ones from laird Gaff JZ Mcgrath but likewise a few passengers such as Bailey Scott.

SWISS STORM   (22.   8.   140   )   Drew with   HUNGARIAN HULKS   (22.   8.   140   )

Its our first draw of the season. The storm had 6 players go 100+ including Captain Oliver. The Hulks on the other hand had only 3 but besides Billings and Gibbons everyone had a strong game. Buddy would have got them the win but he is now injured again so will need to wait for his next EXV game.

ENGLISH LIONS   (22.   10.   142   )   DEF   BELGIUM BASHERS   (21.   8.   134   )

This was the most lopsided game of the week but its the spoon favourite England who came out on top. Surprisingly it wasnt Titch that got them the win even though he was good. Duggan Dunkley had incredible games and we also saw 100+ from JoeD, Tmac and Rotham. Belgium put up a reasonable score and Lyons did his best but it wasnt enough.

No rucks no mids no worries
