After Saturday

Suns a sneaky Truck ton away from an upset here against PNL... they wouldn't mind if a best XV player or two dropped out with Graham and Georgiades having pre-made tons ready to go. However, with the points on the board, you'd think PNL are the favourites.

Whilst I fully expect Gawn will absolutely destroy Hawthorn today, I suspect the Islanders still have many more tons to come. A very, very strong team.

MOTR in progress! Beijing were looking *mint* until Houston went down and Ham came on. What he achieved in a full match was half of what Houston did prior to HT. Still, with HGA included, Beijing are 111 points up with one extra played. The best players from both teams have played though, well, with perhaps exception to Sholl. Can he repeat his efforts from last week? I actually reckon Toronto gets up here!

An unfortunate(?) injury and subbing to Captain Ridley doubles Dunkley's 148 and with it, provides much needed breathing room for the Samurai. The odds are now in their favour, but it's not over yet.

A left-field captain choice has added more woe to New Delhi, as they looked destined to be eliminated from World Idol this week. Cairo flat-tracking at this point!

Losing faith in the Dillos just quietly. On paper they're still in it, and we've often seen Brayshaw/Cerra win the Dillos games from Sunday, but for whatever reason they're not getting it done. Seoul for me.

Steady on Rio - you should win from here but don't jump on your skateboard mid-flight and proclaim "I'm king the world" just yet.

Early days, but you'd suspect Dublin will win with points on the board. DBJ certainly would have helped the Revs cause.

Captain Parker's misstep has opened the door for Cape Town, whom you'd suspect goes on to win from here.

Suns do indeed Reign in these Deers!

As mentioned earlier today, the Suns were greatly assisted by the omission of LDU and subbing of Aaron Hall, allowing the 230-point-combo of Graham and Georgiades to come on the field, which ultimately proved the difference! A great win by the Suns - and unfortunately another loss by the Reindeers despite scoring 140+.

United Islander Tribe thwarts Gawn-led Brewers

Bloody good game this one. I knew from the outset that Gawn was going to have his way with McEvoy so I was giving myself a chance this morning, but jeepers, not 1 Islander let the team down (Bailey Williams was close, but only because he got injured). I'm quite miffed with Logan McDonald's 15, but despite the Islanders winning on HGA, they fully deserved the W. GG.

Wolves' Sunday Blues

Thought the Wolves we get the W this morning, but its Sunday crew let the team down (Sholl aside). Meanwhile, another ton from Lever and a rested Acres carried on the performance set up by Greale, capping off a great win by the Pandas.

A Tokyo Enigma

On one hand, losing Captain Ridley for potentially weeks is a kick in the guts. On the other, it allowed Dunkley to contribute 296 points, and pretty much the W... anyway, disappointing for London, whose bottom 6 let them down.

Magpies continue fortunate form

5-0 and not an ounce of unnecessary effort. Not bad Seoul, not bad. An injury to Cerra may have otherwise robbed the Dillos of a W, but it almost feels like something else would have gone wrong! When will the Ws come?
