WXV Finals Week 1: Grand Final Rematch, Europe hosts 3 Finals

[Purple 77]

Bontempelli, Howe and Hurley surely not in Pacific's best XV?!?!?!

Lol, the thought did cross my mind too  :P

[Purple 77]

Blow for Dublin, with Hansen a late withdrawal, now having to cop Grigg's 55. That'll help the Dillos.

Also bad for Toronto with Greenwood also a late withdrawal, will Young lift for the occasion? You'd think Moscow would be happy about that out.

[Jukes]

Ward on 9 at 1/4 time when we need him to do good+clutch

Big surprise, not rigged at all

Yaz subbed off, so on comes Goodes,
Waite is killing it, on 91SC at HT.

grigg has killed me all year, was supposed to be a 85+ back up player. My gut said give E1 to Irish boy Sheehan, who is looking good. Would have been way too risky though.

NDS is letting me down big time when i need him but at least Goldy is himself.

[Jukes]

Callan Ward: Down. This player's fantasy score is down on his usual average.

Never saw this coming, god why can't we be clutch ever

[roo boys!]

Greenwood out for Toronto.  Big blow

Massive blow indeed, been one of my better and most consistent performers all season. Don't think Ward's 77 will really have too strong an impact on the result Jukes so I wouldn't stress. Barring a huge one from Pendles you're sitting pretty comfortable at the minute.

Funnily enough I actually had a strange hunch that Grima may play...strongly considered naming him at D2 but hopefully the guys I did name can outscore his 62 anyway.

Toronto
D: M.Johnson, S.Butler, R.Shaw, M.Maguire
M: S.Pendlebury, A.Swallow (97), C.Young, J.Ziebell (101)
R. P.Ryder (96)
F: J.Riewoldt (85), L.Adams (104), M.Spangher, J.White
I: B.Cunnington (138), B.McLean (52)

Good to see Tommy Bell pump out 132 in the ressies! Been a couple decent performances but the amount of players missing from the senior side will really hit the reserves hard.

Waite scores 160, what a flowering gun

Decent start continues for the Cobras with Thomas cracking the ton. Curnow disappointing however.

160's from Lewis and Waite have put us in a good position.

Monfries and Clarke on 33

Never saw this coming

Well so far, so bad. ALOT of bad performers this round up forward not to mention Tank getting subbed off in the 3rd quarter, meaning we get his 23 ::). Unless Priddis rips away for a 150+ game, we're as good as gone in our first ever finals appearance :(.
