WXV Round 4 - Pumas look to set record, Royals/Suns in blockbuster.

[Nails]

I was hoping the Nails being sad threat would get it across the line. Oh well.

You demons I hope you feel the guilt of allowing me to be sad by not sneaking this late inclusion in lol.

Hopefully we cruise to victory without Boyd. Armadillos' champions league hopes are on the line this week...

[Maca24]

I'll put a wager that Brennan will outscore Boyd anyway!
Goodes shredding, hoping for a late withdrawal!  :-X

[Nails]

Brennan will probably score 10.

Played for us 2 rounds ago, starting sub scored 15.
Dropped the following week scored 146
Included back this week will probably score 10.

Waiting on Seoul and Wellington

Hey Os, just talking to JB and because he's banned Koop was supposed to post the Seoul team but didn't, he's asked that you use their XV from last week. Also, if possible, getting Macaffer swapped for Jordan Roughead although he understands if this is not possible.  :)

[Nails]

Tough titties he should cop Maccoffee break

Great work Ossie! Good read, hard game ahead (:

Inspiring stuff last week, with Hodge, Moloney, Maric and NRoo fantastic.
Sidebottom had an uncharacteristic shocker, and needs to bounce back.

Progressive Puma's

Hartlett, Houli, Roberton, McMahon
Ablett (C), Sloane, Masten, Zaharakis
Jacobs
Roughead, Wright, Porplyzia, Walker
Minson, Wallis

Total - 0/0

A solid start for the Pumas to this round :P

In other news I was seriously considering taking the captaincy off Ablett for this round, with his hand issue I feel he may be less involved than usual, or hopefully will mean he will kick every time rather than handball! Also very exciting that Daw will be making his first appearance for the Jaguars this weekend, this will keep Jacobs and Minson on their toes knowing another ruckman could be fighting for their spots soon enough...

Thanks Nige

I'm a little confused why Koop didn't ask this himself?

In any case, no, his team will be selected on preferences... That team is:

D: B Gibbs (Capt), C Yarran, P Duffield, B Ellis
M: B Deledio, P Dangerfield, T Scully, J Corey
R: B McEvoy (V-Capt)
F: JJ Kennedy, J Bolton, Jordan Roughead, Alwyn Davey
I: H Hocking, T Hunt
E: L Anthony, S Coniglio, H Ballantyne

And they get an official warning. Another late team will likely lead to the loss of a premiership point

:(

*Captain played

Highlights!

- Joel Selwood responded to his demotion from the Captaincy, with an amazing 163

- Tokyo captain Kieran Jack was a saving grace for an otherwise disappointing night for the Samurai

- Harry Taylor is the senior player at the Bears, and he lived up to it, with a big century. But in typical Bears fasion was completely offset by a shocker from Josh Caddy

- Cairo's Nick Malceski has been in great form this year

- New Delhi's Horlin-Smith showed his immense talent with a career best performance

- Matthew Stokes continued his great form this year, and Berlin need a win.

- Armadillo Chapman got Buenos Aires off to great start
