The Cobras are officially back! With three 130+ scores in the past month netting 3 wins, Cape Town has re-entered the land of relevancy and pose a concern to whomever they come up against. Last weeks' score of 141 was their second 140+ score for the year, and we can attribute that to the return to form of the Cobras much maligned midfield (and kudos to Ainsworth bringing home a rising star nom!). The Tigers performed as necessary to account for the injury-struck Sands and would have still trumped the Cobras by 2 SC points last week. The premiership fancies will pretty much go into every one of their matches as favourites; maybe except if they faced Dublin or Seoul as the away team, but they won't have to worry about that as they are sitting pretty 2 games and percentage clear on top of the ladder. With 4 games to go, they only really need to win two more games to win the minor premiership; but be warned, the minor premiers have a 0-5 record when it comes to premierships. Will they be the first to buck the trend? Time will tell. In the mean time, the Tigers to win this one.

I said last week that more than OliveField had to stand up to beat the in-form Beijing last week... I was both kinda right and wrong in that sense, because although Kelly, Haynes, Whitfield, Swallow and Lynch came to the party, it's not often you get 162 with just 6 centurions, but Captain Danger proved you could; and just as well too, because Beijing scored 160 themselves. I've admired Seoul's list from afar since 2014 so I'm gonna go ahead and take credit for their current 2nd placing; anyone that jumps on now is just band-wagoners. The Sands in the meantime - having only been in the top 4 just 2 weeks ago - find themselves just a game clear from those challenging from outside the 8! Captain Beams going down has just had a profound effect on this team, who really needed that win against Christchurch in Round 12. If it was a normal week for Cairo, they actually might have beaten New Delhi last week, and they could have been a chance against Seoul now. But, every team has their injuries... it's just not often their star player. Take Danger out of Seoul, and... well I guess you'd still have Oliver, so yeah, Seoul for me in this one. Dangerous times for Cairo.

The Royals were unlucky last week that they couldn't get a ruck on the field, because they might have otherwise snapped their then  6 game losing streak against Tokyo. But, I suppose that doesn't really excuse the fact that they didn't have ONE player crack the ton last week; a glaring criticism for both Hannebery and Shuey in particular. All the Royals need to focus on is trying to crack the 130+ barrier, something they haven't done since Round 6 of this year. Their opponents Beijing were reknowned back in 2015 for being scarily consistent in the 130-135 range, before slowly increasing that consistency year-by-year. It's the perfect model for London to follow going into the future, but I hope their not discouraged by Beijing's results of this year, because... well, just look at last week, where a score of 160 wasn't enough to get a win. That game seemed to perfectly sum up the Thunder, whose form and apparent turn of luck was seeing them an outside chance to make the finals. They obviously recognised this when they came up against Seoul and lifted for the occasion, because their next 3 matches are all very winnable in London, PNL and Tokyo before coming up against Dublin in the final round. If they won against Seoul, then those 3 matches... they could have gone into Round 17 needed to beat Dublin to make the finals! But alas, it is now officially a stretch to far, where Beijing have now consolidated their title as the 'hard luck story of 2017'. If there ever was a match for London to win this year, this is the one, but Beijing should surely get some respectability on their win/loss record this week.

You know, I am seeing this script starting to surface, and I don't like it ONE BIT! I lost hope of this season when I went down to both Beijing & Cairo in the same week (that Round 11 where Round 9 was finished). I was thinking, you know what? flower this game, flower you Fyfe, Steven and Libba and flower basically everything else. But, after Gawn came back, I had a good game against London to level my ledger at 6-6. Hope remained, but I knew it was unlikely so going into the Dublin match, I was expected a loss and for the season to resume grinding away. But flower me, MICHAEL WALTERS! That was an incredible performance from him to get me a win against Dublin at their home ground, but you know what that has done? Not only has that got me back in the 8, but I actually have some legitimate hope at making finals again! I mean, I'm coming up against 2 of the 3 lowest scoring teams in the comp in the next fortnight! Hope! Hope! But you know what happened next? I saw my opponent was Tokyo this weak. I flashbacked to Parker scoring 160 as captain last year in Round 1 to beat me, only for Tokyo to do fark all for the rest of the year. Then, I remembered ALL of the shower I've flung at Tokyo this year. The Karma gods are coming. This above script is inevitably cruel. The Samurai have also just come off their first win since Round 3 against the Royals and will be looking to back it up against me this week. Luke Parker is also coming back into form, and I just know that JJ and Dahl are due for a blinder... I'm terrified. Please let me win.

Not a week goes by where the Spetsnaz don't fail to surprise me. I keep expected them to hit the wall soon, because how are they scoring so many 130+ scores with so many injuries on their list? The Spetsnaz have been a little unlucky actually, with their last 3 scores of 139, 136 and 137 failing to get them a win. Mathematically, finals are still a remote possibility for this team, it's just they can't afford to lose anymore games this year. Despite Jesse being a good chance to return this week, I'm not sure coming up against Dublin will do there finals hopes any good. The Destroyers have lost their past two games, both of which their opponent has registered 150+. To be honest, in a 5 game stretch where you've averaged 154 ppg, you'd be pretty unluckily to register two losses, and to make matters worse, those losses has seen Dublin fall out of the top 4, despite only marginally being behind New Delhi in the points ladder. The minor premiership seems very unlikely for Dublin, but as I mentioned before, minor premiers are 0-5 for the real premiership, and they'd be looking to replicate 2014 and win it from a place within the top 4. And they're a big chance to do just that. Dublin in this one.

Awww come off it PNL! The Reindeers fourth consecutive win keeps their finals hopes alive after once being 3-6 with a formline that'd make Buenos Aires blush. It's likely that, if the PNL were to make the finals, there percentage won't make 9 wins enough so in these last 4 matches, they'll need to win 3 of them to give them a good shot. And boy, it won't be easy. But if the Reindeers keep up their form of the past 2 matches that has seen them post 140+ scores, they could be in line for one of the most unlikely finals appearances I have ever seen. The Wolves finally had a change in fortune last week, with a low scoring win over top 4 team New York. Despite their 129 being their lowest score since Round 8, the Wolves were able to turn this into a winning score after losing with a 154 just the week before. Finals are still a possibility for this team, but it's likely they'll need to win their remaining 4 matches, or win easily in 3 of them. Christchurch are the highest ranking team (at 10th) of these opponents, so the hope is genuine! Against the Reindeers though, they need to channel their form from Rounds 9-12 to confidently take them down and with Pendles coming off a poor one, I reckon he'll rebound the Wolves to a victory here.

The Saints truly are in a fine bit of form at the moment, where I prompted to continually mention that they are timing their run well in their pursuit of finals. After scoring just one 130+ score in the first 5 rounds, they have only gone below that once since with their biggest score of 148 coming just last week against the Suns. Christchurch sit 10th likely needing at least 3 more wins to give themselves a strong chance at making finals, and they'll go into every one of their matches as favourites or at 50/50 odds. They are just yet another team that has their destiny in their own hands. The Revolution in all sorts at the moment. They backed up their 118 against Cape Town with a 112 against Toronto, and have put their fortunate top 4 placing in real jeopardy. If they lose this match, they could see themselves fall as far as 7th and maybe even have their finals credentials come into question. Jelwood is desperately needed back and Tippett almost equally so, as despite popular opinion might suggest, having an OOP ruck is actually a disadvantage. With the Saints in form, and the Revolution having players drop everywhere, the tip is clear in this one.

In the last 5 weeks, the Suns have averaged 128.4 ppg, to rightfully earn themselves a 1-4 record (courtesy of Kade Simpson). What's going on at the Suns? They are out of the eight! I'd wager, this is the first time they are out of the 8 after... I dunno, Round 4 in any season. Uncharted territory attracts uncharted form, I suppose. Taking a closer look at the Suns, the reasons become obvious, with Rockliff averaging 70 in his last 3, Cotchin 90 in his last 3, Goddard 92 in his last 3,  Riewoldt 73 in his last 3... these traditional superpowers have been letting this traditional superpower club down, and although they certainly can, I'm not sure they'll make finals. Fortunately for the Suns, they'll get a win this week. At the risk of kicking a club whilst they're down, nothing is going well at Buenos Aires and last week was almost rock bottom; scoring their lowest score of the year of 100. The concerning part is is that you can't really see who might stand up and arrest this form... I guess that'll be whatever Pick 1 turns into next year. Over to you, VinZander. Having that currency is actually so much fun.

Nearly went the Christchurch game for the ramifications, but these two clubs promise to put on a show in my MATCH OF THE ROUND! Despite a brief scare that they might not get enough wins, the Islanders, like the Jaguars, seemed to be an expected fixture of the finals and really that has come off the back of two great scores of 150 and 146 in the last two weeks. The Islanders have been know for finding ways to lose, but they are arguably correctly positioned on the ladder as 4th, given they also sit 4th on the points ladder. The Islanders fantastic percentage means they'll probably only need 1 more win to make finals, but 2 more would guarantee it. Their next 3 opponents aren't slouches before they face the struggling Royals, so this game is still important for them to win. The Jaguars sit one place below the Islanders on the points ladder yet 6th on the real one, but their percentage isn't as strong as the Islanders and might need the two more wins to consolidate their place in the finals. They also aren't a guarantee in 3 of their remaining 4 matches, so really, a loss here to either club puts a bit of pressure on the loser. The Jags haven't cracked 140 in a while though, so I think I might back in the Islanders at home in this one.

Griff would have been back this week if he didn't reinjure himself during his rehab. Who knows how far off Wells is. Sandi gone for the season and Waite will miss this week at the absolute least.

its actually true

but I turned Buddy + Roughy + 17 into

Roughy 80 v Greenwood 88
Venables 0 v Brad Crouch 90

i reckon i came out ok, despite the major reason for the trade being cap reasons.

We REFUSE to DIE!

100.6 average to 6 games at 70.6 is an atrocious return from the man who is meant to be our M2.

Combine that with Griffen 93.9 to 3 games at 59 and that should have been enough to put our season down.

Add in McVeigh who has averaged 94-106 for 8 darn years giving us 2 matches at 64.5 prior to last week and we should be bottom 4.

Silvagni rose from the dead and for a fleeting moment there was some hope with his solid scores of 79, 82, 87, 73, 88 before fate cruelly cut him down. Deflating.

The ever reliable Bob Murphy has been cut down twice in this season from hell. 

Maybe the retiring Dempster was the smartest since he departed before the season began, he was meant to be D4/5.

Take out your ruckman and see what it does to your team. Sandi out for extended periods of time should have sent us to the bottom of the ladder.

Jarrad Waite, the man who top scored in all of WXV one week has been absent for too long already, and it's set to continue. Final nail in the coffin?

Masten was okay to start the season with an 80.8 average but has turned to shower and should be delisted by the Eagles. Things got too hard for him and he simply gave up. The rest of our team probably should have done the same by now but we've got the most inspirational group.

M2 (Wells), M4 (Griff), U2 (Masten), D2 (Bob), F1 (Waite), R1 (Sandi) all missing this week but we're not throwing in the towel. McVeigh will finally make his return and hopefully it's the champion version and that he can keep our WXV struggle alive.

The two Saint Nathans should be upgraded to Gods after the way they have carried the team. And Sean Darcy might actually be Jesus.

Lester has averaged 101 from his 4 matches since the bye with a low of 79. Would be tanking to leave him out.

Toby Mac stiff to miss, especially since he's been attending centre bounces lately. Libba back in so that might not occur and a wet weather match means Clay Smith has to play. I expect 12 tackles from you Mr Smith.

Just amending emergencies to show mcStay instead of Hughes

Magnificent start with Clay on 1 and Lever on -1.

Thanks for dropping McLean meow lol

Sorry AK, should have played Stringer, my bad :(

Lever tons after being on -1 at quarter time. Clay not so good.

Lester will justify my decision haha.

Annnny danger of a challenge Holz? Better than Brad yet again

Clear to me who the better player is. While your guy is racking up handballs my guy is tackling guys.

Its not a 1 year comp. Brad needs a full preseason, he is the better player champion data just arent rewarding him.

That will change

Lol yep it is clear

A) Matt had 32, 16 kicks and 16 handballs
B) players that are too slow or can't find the footy are second to the ball and only option is to tackle

Thats Brad. He's slow, injury prone and Worse Than Matt

@Rio, Jacobs isn't in your LG. On LG preferences, Ebert is now your VC

@Beijing, Stengle is on your rookie list so you can't select him unless you had no other alternative. Lucky Wellingham can come on instead, otherwise that would have to be your otherwise rested Ellis  :-X so yeah, Wellingham comes on at E3 for Stengle

After Friday night... lol Buenos Aires, god damn Easton Wood ey? But still, that start has me interested!

Sorry Purps, I didn't quote my team so you might have missed it. I dropped McLean for Lester in a move that might cost me the match.

Don't worry, Wallis and Douglas were pathetic, and we still have no ruck

You got this

Clay 28 + 28 + Roughead 59 = 115
Walls 65 + Douglas 43 = 108

Lever being a gun helps but if Selwood puts up a 120 vs 100 from Gibbs it'll make things quite interesting. I think it'll be a case of who is less bad will get the win rather than either team being good.

Ah, at a glance, I thought this post was describing changes, so I just looked at the quoted team.

CHRISTCHURCH SAINTS

B: Jarrad McVeigh, Nathan Wilson, Jake Lever, Leigh Montagna
M: Bryce Gibbs (c), Connor Blakely (vc), Brayden Fiorini, Sam Mitchell
R: Sean Darcy
F: Shaun Higgins, Toby McLean, Jack Steele, Drew Petrie
I: Clay Smith, Jordan Roughead

E: Nathan Vardy, Harris Andrews, Sam Petrevski-Seton

Lycett back in will probably screw up both Petrie and Vardy. Tempted to play Lester instead of Drew.

Will fix it next update.

Definitely be the case for us

Ah crap Howe out
And Hamish could be also

Who am i kidding, and OOP defender will probs beat Hamish anyway

Great Dayne :D

Sorry about Stengle Purps didn't realise I hadn't upgraded him. Will have to do that this week.

Ugh,

If we hadn't been so crap and had also played Astbury and Hewett over Hipwood and Milera like I considered we would be in the box seat.

Some interesting games currently in the making! I draw your attention to PNL v Toronto & Moscow v Dublin in particular...

Gilbert with the 50 as OOP ruck is better than expected

Mundy is a late out, so I guess we Sexton's respectable 87 which is pretty decent

Sigh

You'll get Greshams also respectable score since Douglas will cover Mundy. Not that it matters, look how shower we are! Gibbs needs to pull out another 200 point game to give us a chance.

Yeah I actually thought that's what would happen but was hoping it might only happen when there isn't a replacing player on the bench

Hopefully the extra 14 points doesn't make a difference

Sands surrender to Seoul Trio

Despite having four players score less than 50, Seoul STILL managed a very good 147 and surprise surprise, OliveField led the way. With Kelly and other random contributors, this team won't really ever score sub-140 very often. Although Beams came back, he wasn't really back, and that's reflected in the Cairo scoreline.

Scary & Livid Zorko Thunder force Royals to Retreat

Saints Costly Slip Against New York

Gee. New York is a pretty lucky team ey? I mean, sure they've been unlucky with injuries, but getting these wins with low scores have been fortunate at a minimum. That last minute change dropping McLean has cost Christchurch the game, and perhaps their shot at finals. Time will tell.

Suns shine Bright Once More

Captain Walker gave the Dillos a great start, but Mexico City came to play this week; returning to familiar scoring territory. This was despite Captain Cotchin being their second lowest scorer! Buenos Aires just keep counting down the days until Pick 1 is theirs.

Pacific Peak at Pointy End of Season

That's a great performance by the Islanders, and it's one that shows that they are hitting form at the right time of the year. The Jags on the other hand, really struggled without Cripps, GAJ and Watts. They'll need that trio back ASAP to ensure their finals placement.

Would have won if I selected ANYONE other than Clay Smith. That takes some talent to pick the wrong one out of 10 players. A 1 in 10 chance and I managed to do it. Incredible.
