WXV Round 3 - Sands v Reindeers to define season

[AFEV]

The captain bonus and Home ground bonus are added independently Sid so libba would have scored you 126 not 168 sorry.

All good CF won't change the result, and still a terrible week anyway. Cheers for the heads up.

[Nails]

Was a horror round, some poor selections. flower the police. That was terrible and a great disappointment. Congrats Spettys, played well.

[Purple 77]

Ah, so close, so heart-breaking...... immensely proud coach

As evident from coach Purple 77's post match media conference

"What the boys put out this weekend... how can you not be moved.'

"I put the challenge to them after the poor performance against Cape Town, a boy, did they respond. We were not accepting last week's performance, I made them pay on the training track this week, where some home truths were yelled across it,'

"This, was our second consecutive week against a top four side, and as I said a few days ago, was a perfect time to measure up against a competition powerhouse after a disappointing performance. And in the end, we came up short, but by centimetres. This was our second best performance in our short history, but I would go as far to say as this was our proudest performance, the one that, to me, stands out more than our highest scoring match.'

"We were challenged EVERY step of the way in this match, and instead of falling to our old ways and crumbling, we took it up to them and made them work much harder for in the end, a close win to the Pumas,'

"I'm not going to lament the two excellent opportunities we have had in the last two weeks to win against the best, because the next best thing from a win, is the experience gained out of a match, and I think those experiences are invaluable, and will serve well down the long, and short term future,'

"Obviously disappointed to not get the win, but this is the proudest I have ever been of my boys, hands down."

[Purple 77]

Would have beaten FIFTEEN teams this week! Bloody oath CF! lol

[ossie85]

Unlucky Purple, the luck of the draw! Though some may say 50-50 to win first round

1340/15

Round 3 review
after a horrid start to the reindeers season enter the 3rd round still without a win
senior assistant coach DazBurg who was in control in senior coach hellopplz absence was looking to change that fact.
the reindeers made the change of bringing in young gun Chad Wingard onto the bench at the expense of Nick Lower
after wingard showed some great form in the ressies
another change was the dropping of Phil Davis bringing in veteran Luke McPharlin hoping he can provide some experience and stability to the backline for the young reindeers

the reindeers round 3 encounter hoping for their first win of the season was derailed pretty much 10 minutes into the first game McPharlin who the reindeers was hoping would get them off to a flyer was knocked out early in the first qtr putting an end to his debut for the season on a grand score of 0
from there it was too big of a hill to overcome and the reindeers feel to there 3rd straight loss of the season leaving them 16th on the ladder and leaving alot of work needing to be done
the highlight though was EOS recruit Justin Westoff's continued dominance on the score and young gun Chad Wingard rewarding the coaches with his selection

in the reserves for the kings there was more bad news with young gun Jonathan Patton succumbing to a ACL tear and will miss the rest of the season while Liam Jones put his hand up to play in round 4

so all in all the season is not looking great for far butt here are some things that show PNL might be able to turn there season around yet

[Boomz]

Bad round... :( all our emergencies did great... Argh. At least next week we should get a win :-X

[CrowsFan]

Would have beaten FIFTEEN teams this week! Bloody oath CF! lol

Yeah extremely unlucky purps, after that performance you deserved more! Feel sorry for you, getting third highest score yet still losing :(

Gotta say though loving my defense at the moment! 4 players averaging over 93 and the 5th averaging 84. Loving it considering last year it was my weakest area, whilst my strongest area (forwards) are doing terribly this year. What a turn around!

[My Chumps]

Lucky to get the win!

Just can't seem to select the right team out there :(

[MajorLazer]

Os, I know it didn't change the result, but shouldn't we (Cairo) have scored 150 not 136?

Might be wrong, but Nige's score adds up to 1503 as does mine, meaning we would finish on 150.

[ossie85]

Indeed it is! Sorry Cairo - your captain bonus for Hanley wasn't coming through

[roo boys!]

Good score by the Wolves and a solid victory - I'm happy. Review might be a while away though I'm afraid  :-\
