Sub rule in play again!



Charlie Cameron on debut was our best scoring forward... yep.

If I've added up Cape Town's score correctly... they've finished on 1360 and we're currently on 1076 (again, if my maths is right). Cape Town's HGA is Crouch's 5 bringing the total we need to 290 to win between Dion Prestia x1.5 and Michael Rischitelli.

Prestia has to basically equal his best score (144) of the year so far and Rischi (104) has to beat his best in order for us to win.  :(

[Purple 77]

HA remains at 10 sorry to tell you Nige, HA is calculated pre-penalties/bonuses :/

Looks like Prestia will have to get 10 more points

[ossie85]

And Suns players locked.

Finally, all done.

Did I mention how much I hate these 6 match rounds??

Anyways!

Thanks all

The age of editing tyranny is over.

[Nails]

And Suns players locked.

I was just coming to post this :(

and woohoo NYR flowered themselves. Could have beat Dildos but nope bad coaching.

[Nige]

Might have to rest Dion Prestia next week, just to get a decent score out of him.  ::)

[Jukes]

O'Meara (36) on track to beat Heppell...

I knew this would happen the moment I took the CC off him.

[Nige]

Prestia x1.5 and Rischi on 67 at QT.

LIFT!  :(

Edit: Now 131 at HT... still under where they need to be.  :(

Harbrow for us is covering Jaeger atm :D.

Ray is going well but Shenton is certainly making a play to be elevated to the senior list!

[ossie85]

Ablett has scored 232 by half time for pumas

hope?

Dixon 22....

[CrowsFan]

Haha still no hope unfortunately :(

[Justin Bieber]

Just need Ablett as captain to outscore Dixon by a measly 472 points tomorrow to get the win over Dublin. Too easy :-X

Ablett for 100 possessions (kicks to himself) and 15 goals to single-handedly win the game for Suns/Pumas :P.

He's not too far off the goals prediction compared to the possessions :P.

Suns by Predictable Margin

About normal for Mexico City, and about normal for Wellington, for an about normal results between a Flag favourite and a Spoon favourite.

Chris Yarran showing some good form for the Suns, while the same old brigade in Murphy and Hayes leading Wellington.

Mexico City Suns (23.13.151) defeated Wellington Warriors (19.6.120)

Best
Mexico City: C Yarran, S Thompson, A Sandilands, B Goddard, S Crameri, S Hurn
Wellington: M Murphy, L Hayes

Reserves
Mexico City Suns (14.13.97) lost to Wellington Warriors (16.10.106)

Best
Mexico City: Brad Ebert, B Acres, T Curren
Wellington: A Schneider, R Nahas, J Patfull

Seoul defeat Lost Islanders

Pacific were coachless, but the players put in a strong display, and actually registered their highest score of the year, led by a strong performance by Sam Gibson.

But Seoul were too strong when it mattered, with Gibbs and Dangerfield outstanding.

Note, Brent Macaffer was named Ruck for Seoul at half points. Seoul did not name a ruckmen, and the last team update they gave was before the Pies-Crows match. Meaning they receive their highest ranked player on preferences from unlocked players, which was Macaffer.

Pacific Islanders (20.14.134) lost to Seoul Magpies (23.16.154)

Best
Pacific: S Gibson, L Thomas, Jack Redden
Seoul: B Gibbs, P Dangerfield, M LeCras, T Langdon, D Swallow

Late Changes
Seoul: TJ Lynch replaced L McBean

Club Debut
Pacific: J Johannisen

Reserves
Port Morseby Iguanadons (9.3.57) lost to Pyongyang Chollimas (20.13.133)

Best
Port Morseby: B Sheppard
Pyongyang: B McEvoy, T Duryea, C Sutcliffe, H Hocking
