RIP Luke Hodge.

RIP Sam Mitchell? I think so. Could go on but I don't think he wants to.

McVeigh, Montagna, Bob and Waite should all play on, right?

Sandi, Griff and Wells contracted for 2018.

Self inflected. I think you have a sickness lol, You get some sort of pleasure from this :P

I was just having a good look at the remaining 3 rounds of the fixture and there's so much possibilities!

If a few results go their way, Beijing can still make the 8 (I really hope that happens)

NDT has 1st stitched up, and Seoul should be able to hang onto 2nd but could drop out of the 4 if things went horribly wrong and they lose every game from here (Pacific, New York and Mexico so not easy, but should be able to win)

If we can beat Cairo this week then that should be enough for us to finish in the 4, although other results could change that

Berlin vs Pacific next week will have a big say on the overall ladder come seasons end

Rio without Cripps and possibly Ablett could open the door for team including Jing so Levi would be a little nervous, but London and Moscow coming helps

Dublin has a surprisingly soft couple of weeks meaning Top 4 is a near formality, although Dublin vs Jing in the final round will be fun

So much drama still to unfold!

I know everyone (including myself lol) doesn't take us too serious atm, but if we can get a few starters back in time don't completely shrug us off just yet ;)

Heaps of possibilities!

I didn't think it would be a couple weeks ago, but the finals race will be as hot as ever.

I swear, if Buenos Aires beat me this week, I'm quitting worlds :P

I think you stole all their luck, you have two teams worth of luck at least.

Our past month has been terrible, but you all seem to forget we've been missing a lot of our best 15 and playing an OOP ruck each week

We beat Beijing and we beat you too, so we're a pretty good team when we aren't crippled with injuries. We have a lot of depth, but no team really contends with their best players not available
