WXV Round 11 - Cobras/Armadillos and Suns/Spetsnaz clash

[AFEV]

But, miracles are rare and I'm not counting on one, congratulations New York.

Have you considered that Macrae/Stevens/Crozier may not play? Has been something I've been sweating on since the round started...Also if Birchall is a late out again I will get stuck with Batchelor (Schofield, Fisher, Dempsey all missing) and he might not get named either. Which would give me OOP players.

Lots yet to happen. :)

Emg: N. Lower, H. Grundy (68), L. Casboult (79), C. Smith, L. Jones.

984/9 with Captain played. Have the edge on Ringo so far with good all round performance by the team this round! Ball had a solid game and looks to be the best Captain I could have chosen (along with Priddis).

Pearce + Staker + Mayne VS McPharlin + Wingard + Lobbe + Rioli/Casboult + Pavlich/Jones + Westhoff. Would think we are home here with the players to come. Had to hope for a bad round from the Royals for the upset to be possible, we need those wins :-\.

So my game against Wellington comes down to this next week...

Me vs Him
Hartlett vs Lester
Houli vs Morris
Roughead vs Bewick

Cheer up Toges! You'll be on our side next week, the winning side.  ;)

[My Chumps]

Probably enough to beat the Cobras this weekend Tog!  :P

[Toga]

Haha cheers boys.

It's a bit depressing seeing the scores the team puts up this week. It's pretty rare for us to have all of our best XV on the park at once, it's even more depressing to see the scores guys like Liam Shiels, Matt Rosa, Tapscott put up every week. :(

Hopefully Q and I will be able to pull off some trades that will make us more competitive next year.

[My Chumps]

I'm sure you will man. You've at least got a bit of young talent to build from! Kreuzer, Wines, Thurlow, Yeo, Kerridge, Kennedy and Mayes.

[Toga]

Yeah we've got a good base. Bring on next year!

[AFEV]

I'm sure you will man. You've at least got a bit of young talent to build from! Kreuzer, Wines, Thurlow, Yeo, Kerridge, Kennedy and Mayes.

Yep, as a fellow young team we will likely be looking to secure some 2 for 1 deals with Beijing. Adds to their depth and adds to our top line. Sure others will look to do the same.

[Toga]

Hopefully so Sid - but no one is gonna rip us off like the last coaches got ripped off! :P

Some of our older lads will almost certainly be on the table for the right offer. ;)

[JBs-Hawks]

Wines + Thurlow + Kreuzer + Aish for Lids? :P
