WXV Round 13 - New York/London mini-Elimination Final

[CrowsFan]

Pumas Progress

Houli Adams (half) 22, Hartlett, Waters 82, Roberton
Ablett Duncan 121, Sloane 112, Zaharakis, Masten 107
Minson (C) 228
Walker 108, Roughead 92, Gunston 104, Porplyzia 67
Hill, Duncan Jacobs 64

Total - 1,107/11

Going to be close tomorrow, but RB got the edge at the moment...

Hartlett, Roberton, Zaharakis and Hill vs Nicholson, Ryder, Johnson, HGA (currently 36) + 66

Certainly gonna be a good one! Fair to say I wasn't expecting that from Duncan tonight, actually a little relieved his score wasn't higher. Gunston, Sloane and Masten good games also.

Hartlett in my SC side so a little torn there, would still like for him to have a good game.

Nicholson could be the decider I reckon, he can be very up and down. If Nicholson and Ryder are both on I should be home and hosed but could just as easily lose by 100+.

Fair to say this could be a completely different story if Ablett was playing!

Yep gonna be close. Going by averages of the remaining players should see me winning 1,453 to 1,450, but we all know you can never trust averages. I think the decider for me will be which Roberton turns up to play against his old club... He averaged 90.3 from his first 9 matches this season, but has only averaged 53.25 from his last 4...  :-\

What'd I tell you....Nicholson.... ::)

Lucky pendles went big this week, the vast majority of the team has been a big letdown.

Big week for the club too, an upset win over the Pumas would have been sensational, but looks highly highly unlikely from here.

Hill killing my hopes... :(

[CrowsFan]

So my game against the Wolves has come down to this...

Hartlett + Zaharakis vs Ryder and 126 points (HGA already included...)

[roo boys!]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think, I THINK it's Ryder + 130 vs Zaharakis + Hartlett

Zaha 63 at half time, Ryder 45, Hartlett 44

Gonna be bloody close, hopefully not another repeat of the Moscow game

EDIT: Never mind, CF got in just before me. On my phone so can't check your addition so I'll have to take your word for it. Makes it even closer!

Watson :(

Another injury. The Cobras are up against the wall.

[CrowsFan]

Nah you've got this now RB. 3QT scores are Zaha 74, Hartlett 63 and Ryder 70. Can't outscore you now :(

These last few weeks (the Moscow charge, Armadillo collapse, Pumas dropping a couple) have really turned the season on its head.

[ossie85]

I think something absolutely amazing is about to happen btw....

[roo boys!]

Hartlett got two already this qtr, got him in SC so a little torn. 95-100 would be great mate....

[Purple 77]

HUGE opportunity, HUGE opportunity..... and we CHOKED!

I am, so unbelievably (insert angry verb)!

Of all the weeks Mexico drop off, Berlin throw a ripe old shocker!

So disappointed. If we won, we could have really taken a hold on the spot in the eight. Still, not all hope lost at all, just need to beat Seoul, Tokyo and Beijing and hope for the best. Not going to be easy.

Before scaling...

Cape Town: 1250

Beijing: 1299

Cape Town with the home advantage.
And Beijing only had 13 players this week - the first time they've had less than 15. And there highest score.


Panic time for Cape Town.

Upset of the season! After an incredibly disappointing effort last week, most thought that Beijing didn't have a chance.

Matt Kreuzer as captain and Cale Hooker were outstanding.

Jobe Watson going down was huge.

Beijing had only 13 players

Cape Town had 15 and a home ground advantage.

Wooden Spoon race back open.
