WXV Round 1 - The GF Replay

[Nige]

I'm going to attempt to make a template like that ^ for my XVs teams.

Wish me luck.  :P

Good luck :)

This failed. I have no idea how you did it.

[Holz]

Jelwood what a legend. Should have trusted him despite some small injury worries. Got me back in the game a little.

Holz just a heads up, you're not supposed to edit your team during partial lockouts. Need to name a new team each time you want to make a change.

Yeah realised that after I did it.

Full squad for remaining games will be up shortly...

[CrowsFan]

Despite being named to make his debut this round there are rumours circling that Majak Daw has the flu and as such may end up pulling out. If this was to occur Sam Jacobs would replace him from the emergency list. Similar rumours are flying that Brendan Whitecross is under an injury cloud and needs to pass an 11th hour fitness test to ensure he is ready to play. If Brendan fails this Stephen Hill will replace him on the interchange bench.

Interesting to note that last years best and fairest winner Will Minson is nowhere to be seen...

[Jukes]

No Clarke, Seedsman, Thomas, Docherty or Hogan this week

Moscow Spetsnaz

R: N. Naitanui
F: D. Martin (vc), A. Monfries, T. Vickery, J. Jenkins

i.e. first week
D: H. Shaw, N. Vlastuin
M: J. O'Meara, C. Ward
R:
F: D. Martin (vc), A. Monfries, T. Vickery
U:

Only doing the loophole because it works out, if Griff was this week I'd be backing him in as captain.

D: H. Shaw, L. Dunn, N. Vlastuin, J. Frawley
M: R. Griffen (c), J. O'Meara, C. Ward, D. Heppell
R: N. Naitanui
F: D. Martin (vc), A. Monfries, T. Vickery, J. Jenkins
U: T. Barrass, J. Simpkin

Emg: D. Ellard, D. Sheed, T. Lee

Barrass in for Sheed, who drops into the EMG, so we can cheat to get Ellard's score.

D: H. Shaw, L. Dunn, N. Vlastuin, J. Frawley
M: J. O'Meara, C. Ward, D. Heppell, J. Simpkin

Emg: D. Ellard, C. Sinclair, T. Lee

No Griff :'( means Dusty is the captain, no need to name a captain right?

Injuries killing us

[ossie85]

Sorry jukes, need to name a captain or ill give you a captain based on your preference list, and it will be an unlocked player

PROVISIONAL ROUND 1 TEAM

N Haynes - J Pittard - A Everitt - C Guthrie
JPK (VC) - T Cotchin - D Thomas - A Cooney (C)
J Toumpas
G Rohan - S Higgins - J Darling - T Hawkins
B Hill - D Tyson

Emergencies:

S Reid, J Cameron

Complete oversight on my behalf naming O'Shea last week when he wasn't even starting. Everitt comes in for him to make his debut (if I'm thinking on the right wavelength), and puts up a solid 74. Really not happy with the captaincy selection; maybe I should just bag JPK's 91.

^ right, I see what you did there (confused me a bit). Should be:

N Haynes - J Pittard - C O'Shea - C Guthrie
JPK (VC) - T Cotchin - D Thomas - A Cooney (C)
J Toumpas
G Rohan - S Higgins - J Darling - T Hawkins
B Hill - D Tyson

Emergencies:

S Reid, J Cameron, A Everitt

^ just because you never know what will happen with emergencies.... That's the team I have recorded, because of all the locked players. No problem, you did it right but in a wrong way :P

New York Revolution

Def: C. Dempsey, J. Gibson, T. McKenzie, S. Atley
Mid: T. Libratore (C), D. Armitage, A. Treloar, A. Christensen
Ruc: M. Pyke
Fwd: T. Cloke(VC), A. Black, A. Siposs, S. Mckernan
Int: S. Fisher, K. Stevens

subject to changes

same team for the moment

Don't forget emergencies.

[Torpedo10]

Could we captain Barrass?

[ossie85]

Could we captain Barrass?

If you think he's up to the leadership challenger, sure :P

[ossie85]

Btw, I'm not even attempting to work out emergencies and such until after final lock out.

Sao Paulo Pumas (Captain played, 7/728)   v   Mexico City Suns (6/572)

The Pumas 3/227, particularly a poor score from Porpoise, has opened the door for the Suns who were 1/115 thanks to Bartel last night. I have the Suns slightly ahead now, but some emergency trickery maybe afoot.

Moscow Spetsnaz (7/646) v   Toronto Wolves (Captain played, 8/667)

1/0 last night for Moscow, but an emergency will come in, and a 0/0 for the Wolves....

Berlin Brewers (6/430) v London Royals (10/767)

Both sides doing their best to lose it, and I imagine the loser will look back at this game with regret. Berlin's Crouch was down (1/43) while London will have to rely on an emergency with Reilly not playing (2/109).

Buenos Aires Armadillos (Both Co-Captains played, 6/721) v   Cape Town Cobras (8/570)

Armadillos building towards a monster score, with another century from Johnson (1/116), while Cape Town will find the going tough from here after a disappointing night (2/111).

New York Revolution (5/389)   v   Pacific Islanders (8/580)

You can only imagine that Stokes must have had some sort of disciplinary problem for not playing last night for the Revolution. Oh well, his century score will count in the reserves. Particularly with Allen Christensen named and not playing (2/66). Pacific sputtering along after a 2/134.

Beijing Thunder (9/645)  v   Wellington Warriors (Captain played, 6/645)

Solid enough from the Thunder (3/234) and Warriors (1/80) last night, but scores are tied and the Warriors have had 3 less players (though Warrior captain has played).

PNL Reindeers (one Co-Captain played, 11/1023)  v   Seoul Magpies (Captain played, 10/1036)

Enright debuts for the Reindeers with a 97, and Dangerfield captained his side ok (2/267, Captain played). As predicted, one of these high scoring historically losing teams is gonna lose another tight one. A draw not off the table!

Dublin Destroyers (8/641)   v   Cairo Sands (Captain played, 9/1001)

Massive score from Selwood for the Destroyers (1/157) gives them hope, though not being Captain hurts. Cairo still with a handy lead but were only average last night (3/230).

New Delhi Tigers  (2/203) v   Tokyo Samurai (5/388)

Disappointing as it appears New Delhi was asleep at the wheel last night, with 6 players in the Reserves last night and no seniors.... Tokyo will be kicking themselves they didn't make them pay with only 2/106 to show for it.

[kilbluff1985]

Tokyo

D: M. Suckling, G. Broughton, J. Carlisle, T. Pears, J. Rivers
M. K. Jack(C), S. Selwood(VC), L. Shuey, S. Mitchell 
R: D. Simpson
F: L. Parker, L. Dahlhaus, T. Campbell
I/C T. Richards, T. West

we are flooding

Emg A. Kennedy(Def), J. Merrett(Mid)

So wasn't expecting Porps to score less than Devon Smith's 44 tonight >:( Think my F4 is going to be a tricky one to pick all season unfortunately :(

Full squad for remaining games will be up shortly...

I rather be deciding between Porps and Dev than LJ, Cripps and Tory.  :P

[Nails]

@ Oss, I think you'll find that Kelly's ton will also join Johnson's ton with some tricky team management tonight.

[Ringo]

London Royals Team:

Def: Heritier Lumumba; Zac Tuohy; Andrew Mackie; Brent Reilly
Midfield Jarrad McVeigh (VC); Danniel Hannebery; Danyle Pearce; Brent Stanton (C)
Ruck: Sam Wright (OOP)
Forwards: Chris Mayne, Brandon Matera; Johnathan Brown; Joe Daniher
Int: Matthew Broadbent; Shane Edwards;
Emg: Dane Rampe;  Mitchell Brown; David Mackay

Captain Brent Stanton
Vice Captain Jarrad McVeigh

Updated Team:
Changes
Sam Wright (oop) replaces Fraser Thurlow
Johnathan Brown replaces Jason Winderlich

Dane Rampe as first emergency will replace Brent Reilly.

Gee I hate a split round as it decimates a team. 

Will be stuck for rucks for a while so will be behind the eight ball.  Was relying on Essendon promoting Thurlow to cover Bellchambers.

Suspensions and injuries really hurting Royals early,
