Just getting around to writing this up... but will open Round 16 first

Purple 77

Apologies in advance for lack of energy in these reviews! So I'll put the big headlines all in this post:
- Cobras complete a MASSIVE comeback on Monday night for an important victory! Stepho + Cunners combined for 405 (C bonus included) to run over, post Sunday, the much fancied Pandas.
- I love it when a team salutes the thread title! London LAUNCHED to join the 160 club and also achieving a big % boost! Finals hopes very much alive (I think)!
- Berlin's 5 game win streak ends, and all of a sudden finals looks shaky
- Christchurch does it again! That's 5 wins from the past 8 games!
