I think you will find there is a thing called the Continental Cup. Check the Week 1 Finals thread.

I think it appropriate Alexandria and Rhineland meet in the final.... bring it.  :o  :P

[Jukes]

An 18 and a 23 in my score and I still hit 150 exactly for the second straight week :P :D

[roo boys!]

Still have to get past Toronto reserves! (I'll be changing the name at the end of the season)

Bad game from Toronto, only 2 tons and both small ones as well. Lucky to scrape into the 8 I guess!

Would have much preferred the win though to finish in 6th. Ah well, bring on Cairo!

With pleasure!  ;D

We all know what happened last time we met.  ;)

Bit of a bummer to end the season as we did, but a few positive signs for us there towards the Ed of the season. Being on trading and drafting!!

[CrowsFan]

While the Pumas finish the year losing 4 of there last 6 :/

Hmm I don't like that fact at all :(
Don't know what has happened either, because apart from Sloane and Masten missing this round I have basically been full strength the whole time. Well Waters missing, but that's it. Everyone just seems to be completely out of form at the wrong end of the season :(

[Nails]

163 is very encouraging. Captain Swan's 108 was nowhere near the best on our team.

163 with an injured 24 from a player is very encouraging. If we have 15 players next week we can defeat anyone. Once you factor in we're going to have HGA two weeks running... WATCH OUT.

Bitter sweet for New Delhi those, as they now lose a priority pick

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :'( Trading will be so much harder now :-\
