WXV Round 1 - The GF Replay

[CrowsFan]

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.

I have no idea what you're talking about... :-X

Wow, cannot believe I missed last nights game, especially with the number of players I had in there. Actually ridiculous. We're done like dinner this week simply because my timetable does not agree with showerty split rounds and flowering Thursday afternoon games. flower.

Sorry everyone, will make sure we're on top of this for the rest of the season.

All dem points gone begging ele.

Your alternative is to not name a team at all, and have yesterday's and this weekend's game completed by your preference list.

.... This is risky business though, as it will count as a strike against New Delhi - a second strike would mean you lose a premiership point.

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

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

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

Ugly game between Berlin and London...

Reminds me of last year, low-scoring, neither team wanted to win  :-\

Here's hoping Hibberd and Wells makes some inroads tonight

Emg: D. Myers, F. Ray, M. Jaensch

Screw it, let PNL be the trailblazer here! We'll be the first to try out the Co-Captains rule :D. We can use this as many times as we'd like during the season right? And do we still need to name a Vice Captain in the case of Co-Captains?

Just a sneaky change to the last Emergency spot! Pretty confident the rest of our starters should play out their matches, so not like it should matter much!

Forgot Rioli is suspended :P. Making their PNL debut this week up forward is..................... Zach Merrett! Jack Billings is a tough miss, but can see him being the sub so is just on the edge.

On a side note, McPharlin's spot at D4 is under serious threat this season. With Grundy, Trengove, Watson and Jaensch all performing well this first round, and would expect 1-2 of them to continue throughout the season. Choosing that D4 each week may be tough :P.

[JBs-Hawks]

Should have loopholed Mcpharlin :P

[Justin Bieber]

I should have used the loophole more, and the sub rule (Shiel was the sub) :(.
