WXV Round 10: Warriors and Cobras for Africonia Glory

[DazBurg]

Buenos Aires (14/1191) v PNL (12/1047). If PNL are good enough, they'll win. This came is close. PNL will likely need 300+ points from  Jones, Ball and Williams... depending on how Swan goes.

Not as high scoring as anticipated but going to be a close one!

If Super Jones can account for Swan and outdo him (GO FOR THE 150) and Marley + Ball can combine for 150, then it'll be a good one! Ball needs to play his game of the year and NOT be the sub... and Marley just needs to do what he did last year!

I think you not using the sub rule here is going to bite you on the arse. Would have got the 80 odd that McPharlin scored rather than the score Ball will get as sub...

I did use the sub rule?

Good to see you back posting ML :).

Also PNL will be enacting sub-rule! Not sure if we're allowed to edit posts now :P.

I posted it well before lockout so shouldn't be a problem hopefully! And Dang Ball, why is he the sub this year? :'(

sooooooooooooooo

[Master Q]

Looks like we've lost to NYR by about 50 points. Dem OOP's :'(

It's sad how we stacked up on Forwards last off-season and they're all injured...

Ah sorry. Only looked at your team post on the first page.

Fair enough, would be a bit confusing as posted it a few posts down as forgot about it when I posted team!

And if the SC scores are correct, think we just beat the Dillos :o :o :o. Swan had a bit of a downer and Marley covered him! If Jones got his 120+ and we get McPharlin's 80-odd score, think we won the match (not sure about HGA though for BAA).

Dublin - 285 + Jack Watts + Tom McDonald

Berlin - Jack Grimes, Colin Garland, Jack Viney, Mark Jamar and HA of 58 (hopefully)

Bugger!!!! Possible, but the chances of all 4 of my demons playing well is low  :-\

If only I was playing my seniors Holz  :P but I guess you'd be playing Jelwood in that case

285 + 87 + 73 = 445
72 + 37 + 60 + 63 + 37 = 269

2 goal victory. You made me sweat a little though Purp.

going to be a tough one next week Watto gone, Boak who knows and NDS maybee. At least Jelwood is nice and fresh.

Did Tokyo win? Think it was close :-X

[roo boys!]

Congrats to the far superior Cairo!

Pendles had me a little aroused at quarter time but I was ready to reassume the foetal position by half time.

That'll teach me for not naming a side!

I just wish our forwards didn't decide to be spudly because I was hoping for 1500ish.  :(
