WXV Semi Finals - Pumas host Cairo, Brewers go to Moscow

[My Chumps]

Honestly lost all faith in my ability to select a winning side. Got 23 players named this week and got no idea which 15 to select. Basically ruled out Raines, Sheppard and Sumner, but that still leaves me with 20 to pick from... :-\

You're just lucky you don't have Thomas and Darling to worry about...100s in my reserves, sub or 50 in the seniors...

dog please, I had Tom Hawkins  :P  :-X

Provisional team lineup, will possibly change tomorrow though. Amazingly just the one change from last weeks shocker! :o

Jack Trengove misses his 3rd match of the year. Harsh some might say, but I don't think his past 5 week form of

63   62   98   65   75   77

is finals worthy performances. The consistency has been there all year round and that alone has got his senior spot, but I need high scores and I think Conca against Carlton is more likely to get that than Trengove against Freo.

Franklin back! Minchington did his job last week (outscoring Butcher), but time to go back to where you belong atm, the Reserves.

But they having the week off  :P

Is that not 6 scores?  :-X

Final squad for the semi final. Matthew Wright pulls out and Brendan Whitecross comes in for his second game of the season. Couldn't go through with my threat of stripping Ablett of the captaincy, just can't risk that he pulls out a massive one and I don't have him captain. All on the line this week! Bring it Sands!

Well, it seems I can't count  :P

Just noticed that the Pumas and Suns have both named 3 Hawk forwards each! :o

Roughead, Gunston and Whitecross vs Hale, Breust and Puopolo!

Well Cairo will take the lead since they also have Gibson and Beams (C) playing :P
But in regards to the forward battle Roughy and Gunston have started very slowly for their standards, whereas Breust and Hale have started strongly. Hopefully will change around though ;)

At this stage it looks like Roughy is going to cost you...  :-X
