WXV Prelim Finals: Destroyers v Suns Epic, Rhythm Cup VI

[CrowsFan]

Of course I get the good dillos, then the bad dillos come out in full force the next week :'( is this the world's worst luck or what

Think about it this way...
You would have lost to me this week anyway, so really by losing to Dillos last week you are just getting better draft picks. Sounds like you have some good luck ;)

[Jukes]

I would've scored 175 this week...

[CrowsFan]

Somehow I highly doubt that considering you were missing Ward, Heppell, Martin and NicNat.

[Jukes]

I activated my double super secret captaincy option this week actually, so Josh Thomas scored 1310 instead of 131. Beat that.

[Holz]

Pav out, Rocky (C) and Mundy killing it.
Congrats Holz.

just a tough week for the suns getting abit of bad luck. Bit of a pay back for taking me out in the Idol. Pumas looked real good this week will be an interesting battle.

[Master Q]

An end to a (disappointing) era for the Dillos  :P

[AaronKirk]

Interesting Grand Final next week. Dublin probably favourites but the Pumas have managed to score 168 without Ablett. Game on.

[Torp]

Wow, DW finished an hour ago. What is Oss doing.  :P ;D

[Nails]

Of course I get the good dillos, then the bad dillos come out in full force the next week :'( is this the world's worst luck or what

Think about it this way...

... even if they played this week's Dildos last week they still would have lost!

Some great cames in the reserves!

Alexandria were close and unlucky, while Toronto's massive score can have them feeling aggrieved.

Marseille and Mexico City, amazingly, is a replay of the 2012 Reserves Grand Final. Can Marseille get revenge?

Marseille: M Williams, H Grundy, Jackson Trengove
Alexandria: T Chaplin, J Cripps

Certainly frustrating however I had a feeling that would be the case when I saw Mexico's line up.

Good luck to Marseille next week...you may be needing it!
