[Jukes]

1417 pre-scaling I think, Hombsch coming in to replace Simpkin for an 87 point gain :D

Too many passengers yet again. Frawley, Griff, Clarke and Burbury rubbish, Dusty and Nic Nat co-captain very mediocre. Very up and down week.

Edit: 1419 post-scaling

[roo boys!]

1530 from Toronto I believe.

Yep, we lost... and not realising Tory Dickson was named and playing Rowe instead cost us the win.

Probably doesn't quite dethrone Petrenko-gate last season, but it goes close.

Oh dear...

[Torpedo10]

Chumps already named a team yesterday Memph

Chumps and Memph, the new Torp and FS co-coaching team? ;)

It's looking that way.  :P

I haven't seen this much co-coaching chaos since Torp and FS at NDT.  :-X

Ummm..... ::)

@ Nige - Dickson was only named on extended bench and having to name our teams before Sunday teams confirmed made it difficult for you.

Berlin have proved that scoring your highest score for the season isn't always good enough. With a solid 149 you'd win most weeks I reckon. Unfortunately they ran into a Dillos outfit.

*Matt Jones being rested.
*Sub rule in place.

FINAL SCORE: 1227

Not too bad a score in the end from us but probably would've hoped for a little better after some great performances. Won't get the win but I'm impressed with some of our youngsters (Aish, Wines, Yeo, Mayes).

Yeah, that's a fair point.

Feeling a bit better about that now.

I think we're toast in World Idol though, barely cracked 1200.

[CrowsFan]

Finished with a solid 1,508. Would like to have some defenders back playing so I don't have to play OOP, but that doesn't look likely any time soon... :-\

Our only emergencies were defenders so could work something out ;) :P

Haha no thanks, if they can't even make your starting team I don't want them :P

By the way you finished with 1,222 not 1,227, not that it makes a difference.

[Toga]

You can have Harry Taylor, he was the worst performing of the lot :P

Cheers mate.

Woah look at Mr.Confident over here. You may be the best team now, but in a few years you'll be regret becoming enemies with us  :P That's right, we're enemies now  :P

Haha if you say so. My team is still extremely young, so won't be fading like the other top teams at the moment ;)
