WXV Round 16: Cobras fight Spetsnaz for finals fight & North American Cup

[Justin Bieber]

PARISIAN NICE LYON REINDEERS

Backs: K. Simpson 129, C. Enright 118, M. Jaensch, J. Harbrow
Mids: M. Priddis (C) (298), N. Jones (VC) 120, D. Myers 99, D. Shiel 76
Ruc: M. Lobbe 109
Fwds: J. Westhoff 144, C. Wingard 65, T. Lynch, Z. Merrett 53
Int: J. Griffin 28, F. Ray (10% Bonus) 114

Emg: M. Williams, L. Casboult 29, H. Grundy

1353/12. Flower yeah Priddis :D :D :D. Looking to get a 150+ score from here despite Griffin's low scoring game. Got big performers this week! Ball not playing means we get no resting bonus next week, but happy that Thomas returned this week and scored pretty well on his return! Means midfield spots are a tough spot to earn at PNL!

Dusty - 36% DE and 10 Clangers and 3 free kicks against = -52 points

Nic Nat had 7 clangers and 3 frees against

you didn't even watch most  of the game you were out getting hungry jacks

[elephants]

Hahaha #schooled

[Purple 77]

Only 100 points ahead of Pacific with same amount of players played.

Doesn't sound too concerning yeah?

Even if you had Luke Thompson and Clay Cameron (OOP) on the way?

Was also surprised Pacific didn't loophole Bontempelli's 97 instead of playing the 35 averaging Jack Martin. That could cost them.

Both coaches are rather passive in their approach.  :P

Sub rule in play

[ossie85]

EMG - J. mcKenzie, J. Redpath, M. Close

Redpath is locked, so Close moves to E2 and Tunbridge comes in at E3

London Royals

Def:  Heritier Lumumba; Andrew Mackie ; Dane Rampe;  Matthew Broadbent
Mids: Danyle Pearce; David Mackay; Brent Stanton; Jarrad McVeigh (c)
Rucks: Joe Daniher
Fwds:Troy Menzell; Shane Edwards;Chris Mayne; Jason Winderlich

Emergencies: Zac Tuohy, Dan McStay, Tom Lonergan

Sub rule invoked and co-captains in plac. McVeigh now sole Captain

In: Hannebery, Mackay, Wright, Menzell
Out: Gardiner, Lonergan. Tuohy, Laird

Players in Italics subject to change with announcements of next weeks team.

Changes made as above - Am I allowed to revert to one Captain only Oss given Hanneberry not playing.
Changes: David Mackay to midfield replacing Hannebery
and Darcy Gardiner to Utilty replacing Mackay

Think with late changes chances of upset now a little remote.

No VC named Ringo, so goes to highest ranked unlocked player -Shane Edwards.

Mid: Gibbs ( vc) - Ellis - Scully - Newnes

Ruck: McEvoy.

Fwd: Dangerfield ( C ) - McGlynn - Lynch - Lecras

Emg: weller - hocking -

No E3, Luke Russell comes in

[ossie85]

If all players score their average (and Cairo's Hartman scores 50).

HGA included.


Mexico City Suns 1472 v  Toronto Wolves 1359

Suns with clear edge, but it may come down to captains Sidebottom and Pendlebury


Sao Paulo Pumas 1320 v London Royals 1210

Surprisingly Sao Paulo are still in front as London don't want this chance to slip...


Moscow Spetsnaz 1558 v    Cape Town Cobras 1448

Spetsnaz closing look to secure a home final

Berlin Brewers 1242 v Pacific Islanders 1024

Not one for the highlight reels


Buenos Aires Armadillos 1344 v Wellington Warriors 1284

Warriors a chance for an upset


New York Revolution 1294 v Seoul Magpies 1353

Magpies looking to get back on winner's list



Beijing Thunder 1329 v Cairo Sands 1460

Beijing performing well, but Sands would take a lot of losing.


PNL Reindeers 1614 v Tokyo Samurai 1449

Are the Reindeers the dark horse for the flag?


Dublin Destroyers 1592 v New Delhi Tigers 1174

As expected

Whoops, still had Masten in your team... Will give Martin 50, which brings you down to 1280

Bet those "clangers" wouldn't be called if they were Ablett and Fyfe not two working-class players
