Backs: Scotland , Hurn , P.Stewart , G.Johncock
Mids: Swan {C} , Boyd {VC} , Boak , K.Cornes
Ruck: J.Redden
Fwds: Crameri , C.Cornes , K.Bradley , J.Schulz
Int: J.McKenzie , J.Petrenko
Em: L.Jong , J.Westhoff , D.Nicholson

Redden named as Emergency. So yes, shall he not be a late inclusion, Lin Jong will be rucking in his WXV's debut on the BIG stage.

Go Armadillos!!

Both teams likely without a specialist ruckman!  :o
While Mexico and the Pumas both have 2 playing!

My Chumps

I think it's only fair if Redden doesn't play aswell  :P

Actually I have 3 since Roughy is also a ruck ;)

Also just thought I would do some calculations regarding our teams maca to get projected scores. These scores are assuming Ablett plays, obviously if he doesn't the scores would change with Porps in the side ;)

If we used the average of each player in each team to project the total scores then the Pumas would win 157 to 147. But obviously a season average isn't all that indicative when people are coming back from injury/out of form/whatever, so I also used the SC Gold projections to see what we should be scoring and they came up with Pumas winning 161 to 137. Which I think is ridiculous. Those scores are really underestimating the majority of maca's players and overestimating most of mine and I have no idea why! ???

Anyway they are the projections for the weekend, I wonder how close they will be...

I'm sure it'll be much closer than the projected scores. I honestly feel as if I'm the underdog at the moment...  :-\

So tonight's battle sees Houli and Zaharakis go up against Maric (C) and White. If I'm within 70 points after tonight I will be very happy!

My Chumps

Watson (C) and Cotchin vs Crameri  in the our clash.

Hoping to open up a 350 lead...

Predictions (completely biast  :P)

300 and 125 vs 75, which would give me a 350 lead  :P

Why not? My most consistent player. Considered Cotchin but you can always count on Watto for atleast 115.

White hamstring. I actually hate this game, injuries are just so unfair.

Purple 77
