WXV Grand Final 2014: Pumas v Destroyers

[Holz]

So 3QT scores are in and we have it at this... Pumas 1,391 vs Destroyers 1,529. Need my 4 to outscore Murphy by by 139 points in the last to get the win. Don't think that's going to happen :(

game on the line lots of SC points avilable. Want 20+ from murphy to feel a little safer.

[CrowsFan]

Nah looks like you've got it in the bag now. Don't really deserve to win when 3 of your defenders combine for a total of 106 ::)

I have a date with Daleks guys, so results maybe a little late :)

But I reckon you've got it covered pretty well!

[ossie85]

Stringer and Buntine playing on each other might annoy the Pumas a little

See you there.  ;)

A thriller in the real world is a good way to end the season btw...

[CrowsFan]

Well Smith with the winner, but won't be enough to get the win. If Stringer had marked and kicked the winning goal rather than let it hit him on the head it may have been closer...

This game had everything:
- Tom Rockliff and Lance Franklin distraught after having to pull out of the Premiership match, but glad for team mates. Josh Green and Shaun Grigg performed solidly in their place.
- Alex Sivagni pulling out for Sao Paulo, with Roberton filling in
- Pre-game injury to Todd Goldstein, meaning Tom McDonald had to go up against All-Worlds Ruck Sam Jacobs
- Puma Captain Sam Jacobs performing well in his 50th match
- Alex Rance stood up in defence in his 50th
- Rory Sloane giving the Pumas hope, while Jack Gunston and Jarryd Roughead lead up forward
- Plenty of villains for the Pumas though with Bachar Houli, Stephen Hill, Dylan Roberton and especially Tony Armstrong having nightmare games
- Nick Dal Santo turned in a shocker, while Brodie Martin was injured during the game for the Destroyers
- Pumas missing the likes of Gary Ablett and Andrew Walker
- Whoda thought Jack Watts would've been a premiership player
- Robbie Gray and Michael Walters creating forward movement
- Devon Smith trying out some last minute heroics

Well done Holz, well deserved mate. Pretty nuts  you can still score 150+ with all the carnage that occured...if only we all had a Joel Selwood!

Congrats to CF too, unfortunately a couple things didn't go your way but courageous season in the face of adversity.

[Justin Bieber]

Well done Holz, unlucky for Pumas with a few of HB's guy failing to do much :(.

At least you won one of your XVs Holz ;) :P.

[AaronKirk]

Well done to Dublin and Well done Holz.

Still scored over 150 with the carnage.

Deserved the win in the end.
