R: Mark Jamar
F: Dayne Zorko, Josh J Kennedy, Lewis Jetta, Matt McDonough
I: Jake King (C), Jack Viney
E: Colin Garland, Ricky Petterd, Lachie Hunter

Right. So Wells and Petterd didn't come in like I hoped they would. Which leaves me in a delicate situation.

2 of my emergencies will come in, and I'm hoping Richmond will name petterd last minute so I get his score. Otherwise I'm copping Hunter's 44.

King gets the captaincy so I get Fyfe's score again.

Let's hope this works

If that Jenkins goal after the siren has an effect on this match... :3

but seriously, what a star

If Beams' half time death costs us the game... he's being traded for a packet of chips.

Nah, not a fan.  :P

Done a bit of quick maths with the pre-scaling scores.

We're roughly 20 points down and have Prestia as CC and Rischitelli vs Cotch, Hawkins and Guthrie + HGA (think it's Crouch's OOP score?).

Prestia needs like 150 if we're to even get close, and he hasn't even looked like getting anywhere near that recently.

I'm done.

[CrowsFan]

Well Sloane and Jacobs add some respectability to the Pumas' score, but still no chance against the mighty Destroyers :(

Assuming Houli and Ablett both score more than 41 (current HGA) then this is the play...

Ablett (C), Houli, 26 vs Jelwood, Goldstein, NDS, Dixon, Rance and Hansen

As I said... no chance!

i'll give you 2 packets

Jenkins 104, what a rip! His bag of 4 was the difference! Second BOG only to Danger imho

Wish I was online to relegate Crouch to the bench :(
