Kinda busy atm...sorry for any inconvience. :-\

Just incase you didnt see on the other thread C4 i have activated my sub Sam Butler for Lenny Hayes

I'm gonna try out the sub rule.

Rosa in for Dempster please. :)

My two best defenders so far have been Morris (90) and Frawley (83). I don't even have them as emergencies. This is going to happen all year.

The coach isn't all that happy with his assistant! Nominated Deledio as Captain, but under the endorsement of his assistant, changed to Gibbs. Deledio got 140 DT points. Pressure on Gibbs!

Noted, thanks ML. :)

I'm pretty sure that Boyd was our captain, not Boak. ;)

My apologies PB. Fixed. :)

All sheets and scores from today and yesterday are now up for all to see! ;D

Looks like we are for some mighty big scores this week, and perhaps a few surprises. Wolves, for one, have managed 6 centurions out of 8 players. :o

Also, I am subbing Judd on for Clifton. :)

armadillos are sitting well ahead, with scotland and robinson still to come. Looks like a white wash, thanks mainly to captain boyd ;)

honestly rb, your midfield has slayed me.

Jones wasn't even named in your original side lol

Haha I might win this one! :D

Harper not a bad choice for the captaincy..going well. With Ziebell not playing that means Carrots comes into the midfield doesn't it? He's on 50 at HT :)

I've got my team on 861 before the start of the North vs Blues game, with Harper (C, 38 at HT), Carrots? (50 at HT), Edwards (42 at HT) and Sam Wright (23 at HT) to come.

Jamison and Pedo not playing, to go with Ash McGrath's donut as well...3 donuts in defence and Harper captain yet I am still heading for a big score! Imagine if I'd played a full strength side :P

The Wolves did indeed (provisionally) win! Even with 3 players out. :o

I'm a little scared by the potential a 'full-strength' Wolves squad might have.... :P

Ossie we lost and they had 3 less haha :(

Oh, the shame! Has me worried to be honest!

Go the Armadillos!! 2nd highest score only to the Reindeers, but they are allowed to beat us coz they have Matt Priddis. :D :P

Actually the Armadillos have the 3rd highest score now...the Warriors just overtook you. ;)

All provisional results are up for the week, thanks to all who participated.

Once the SC scores have been released, I will readjust all the scores and announce ALL of the pre-season results. :D

Don't forget I had Harper captain as well ;)

Yeah, good captain choice. Mine failed. :(

Mine wasn't a complete failure - I still won and the kid got a go at something new :)

Love Harper :-*
