WXV Round 14 - Top of the Table clash! Suns/Armadillos.

[Nails]

Consistency beats the occasional outright star. It's what we needed from Brennan and Carrazzo along with our other spuds.

Enjoy your minor premiership Maca. I reckon we would've had it if we won this week which is what makes this match hurt even more. I see us winning every game from here on out therefore threw away a big opportunity here!

Strong finish today hopefully gets Royals home. Trsut retaining Stanton as Captain over Mcveigh does not cost me the game. Hanneberry, McVeigh, Bellchambers, Mayne and Winderlich all contributing strongly.

Was incredibly lucky in that win, Franklin and Stokes both late withdrawals hurt, but that was counter-acted by Trent West, Seb Ross and Nick Suban (even E3 Jacob Townsend) having no-shows.

The win was brought to you by Daniel Jackson (137), Jack Steven (127), Lachlan Henderson (125) and Daniel Wells (101). This was your win fellas.
