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

[Nige]

Some nice Cairo scores this round... any chance of it happening next round against Mexico? Probably not. Inb4 Hanley is tagged to 50.

Eski as captain hasn't worked out.  :(

Too inconsistent. Need the trade period now!!

Sub rule in play

[ossie85]

Right! One match to play:

Mexico City (13/1173 + current HGA of 42 + Sidebottom C + Thompson) v Toronto (13/1049 + Pendlebury C + Young)
Suns tough to beat from here... but if Sidebottom fails and Pendles goes nuts...

Sao Paulo Pumas (11/811 + current HGA of 34 + Jacobs C + Sloane + Wright + Martin) v London Royals (13/1015 + Lumumba + Mackay)
A poor score by McVeigh really puts the ball in the Pumas court, a golden opportunity slipping for London.

Moscow Spetsnaz (13/1229 + current HGA of 29 + Seedsman + Jenkins) v Cape Town Cobras (15/1380)
Moscow are doing its best to lose this, but they only need 122 from Seedsman and Jenkins.... Cairo and Berlin will be watching this match with interest.

Berlin Brewers (13/1150 + current HGA of 44 + Crouch + Thompson) v Pacific Islanders (13/860 + Blair + Elliott)
Berlin easy from here..

Buenos Aires Armadillos (15/1352 incl. HGA) v Wellington Warriors (14/1214 + Walker).
Taylor Walker needs to score 139 for an epic upset here. This is still likely Buenos Aires, but a very very very nervous wait.

New York Revolution (14/1107 + current HGA of 27 + Cloke) v Seoul Magpies  (12/1034 + Dangerfield C + Macaffer + Langdon)
Seoul pretty comfortable from here barring a catastrophe

Beijing Thunder (11/1080 + current HGA of 54 + Grundy + Betts + Kennedy + Toovey) v Cairo Sands (12/1145 + Beams CC + Douglas + Smith)
You'd still think Cairo.... but stranger things...

PNL Reindeers (13/1415 + Current HGA of 28 + Jaensch    + Lynch) v Tokyo Samurai (14/1267 + Henderson)
PNL coasting here

Dublin Destroyers (14/1621 + current HGA of 56 + Martin) v New Delhi Tigers (13/1043 + Podsiadly + Talia)
New Delhi are real chance here....

[roo boys!]

There goes any hope I had, with Lewis, Hodge and Goodes all tonning up I'm shot. Well played though JRoo.

Have Basti for free if you'd like :P

Funnily enough he was the one I was going to target before sitting down and realising I needed to cut down on North mids.

Zorko :(

Just when Henderson goes big and I finally feel that he'll beat Zorko, he goes ahead and pulls out a 150. I can't win!!

I'd be more than happy to get henderson back.

Could give you Wells to add to your North midfield  :o

Just try getting Wells back on the park first :P

I made a pact with myself a couple weeks ago not to target another north midfielder...Cunnington, Swallow, Greenwood, Ziebell and MacMillan (when fit) may be a bit excessive  :-[

You don't want Ben Jacobs?

Well....if he's going... :P

awww nige AK didn't know now he does :P

nah we will be mre active to get under the cap
(that doesn't mean i'm going to let us be ripped off though :P)

Forwards we have plenty and also i know of 4 clubs already who want forwards
depending exactly what type of scorer poeple want will determine where they go
(i.e for a star forward like F1 Holz has Gray on the table but for more depth like F4 or F5 etc we have some like Dawes Tom t Lynch etc)

PNL are a genuine flag threat imo, so well done on trading daz!

thank you Oss
i know i haven't done alot of deals and most know i am stingy :P
but that is because HP and i felt we had the list to be a good side as long as we stopped getting injuries
and i really had losing a deal lol
(which hasn't stopped rich/ trengrove/ rioli)

1414/13. Imagine we should crack the 1500 mark :). And reserves should also see a win hopefully to continue our trek to a double :P.

[Jukes]

We'll lose. Seedsy and Jenkins should be good but none of my players can clutch.

61 points each is all we need. That's a normally well-below-desired score for both players. I want them to be 80-85 players weekly. Seedsman won't get tagged, the pies backline suck. It'll happen. Seedsman 55, Jenkins 50.

If we win they'll both go crazy and go 130 each so next time we need them they'll suck.
