Russian Roulettes v Swiss Storm
Svalbard Valkyries v Croatian Crushers
Greek Titans v Belarus Bisons

Sorry didn't submit a team on time :(. Was out tonight and Iceland wasn't too effected. And probably wouldn't have played Rioli so not a big loss there, just his score :(.
Will check if I'll change my team from last week as think others than Rioli not really effected.
Also haven't seen to my sc/rdt -.-
Well, Langdon isn't playing on Monday so Gears comes on for us.
I named an emergency defender who also didn't play... so do I get my first emergency as OOP or a donut?

OOP I'm pretty sure- we only named them in position to avoid confusion really.
I'm just going to float the concept of a midseason rule reintroduction starting next round (or, if people have a massive issue with a rule change midseason, starting next year I guess). I know the subs have been removed, but I think they still have some form of purpose in euros to mitigate for injuries like the red vest- players were only subbed off before half time if they were injured (even if a player was useless they wouldn't be subbed until the second half), and we still have that happening, nothing has really changed since the removal of the sub.
I reckon put the sub back in for if a player doesn't score after half time- there's very few (if any?) cases of a fit player not scoring a point in the second half, so it basically just covers those injuries at the start of the game that rules someone else out for the rest of the match.
Obviously not implementable until next round, but it's just flowering annoying in a draft game with only 15 players on field, and injury in the first half wrecks a team so much more than in normal fantasy formats.
Holz, your call I guess (or you can take it to a vote if you're on the fence).
English Lions v Spanish Stallions
927 with Zaharakis (C) to come v 957 with Parish and Baguley to come.
what an exciting game, will come right down to the wire Spain with a 30 point lead and basically 2 v 2, you would think Zahar should be able to pull the home team over the line
Hungarian Hulks v Swedish Metal
1287 + Treloar (C) + Cooney v 1073 + Gleeson + Varcoe
Hulks are flying its still mathematically possible but this game is over.
Russian Roulettes v Swiss Storm
1333 + Greenwood v 1005 + Langdon + Fantasia + Dea
barring a greenwood injury and 3 fluke scores from the storm its over.
Svalbard Valkyries v Croatian Crushers
1294 + Adams v 1225
with Crotia none left to play the Valk's pick up a win
Greek Titans v Belarus Bison
1187 + Sidey (C) v 712 + Kelly + Oxley + Grundy + Langford + Fasolo
Bison have 5 left to play but Sidey should make the goal unreachable
Belgian Bashers v Serbian Eagles
1501 + Bird v 1315 + Pendles + Goddard
in a very high scoring affair, Belgium should be too good. however Pendles and Goddard could do something amazing here and bird going cold is certainly a possibility. I think the HGA from Belgium will pull them over the line
Macedonian Wolves v Iceland Polar Bears
1206 + 1122 + Merrett
what an exciting match up. Its the reigning champs and current last place holders v the top of the table Bears. Its a low scoring affair and Merret needs 84 to pick up the win. You would imagine its a decent shot. Im tipping Merett to make the wolves 0-3

Well, we have Langdon out and being replaced by Geary. But it's over, Orazio might ton and Dea might score surprisingly well, but he won't get anywhere near enough.

dam poor poor Iceland so terribly sad.
the team who stole my grand final and the only one higher then me on the ladder.
as HP would say
Mwuaahahahahahhah
English Lions 109 defeated Spanish Stallions 103
Hungarian Hulks 162 defeated Swedish Metal 107
Russian Roulettes 133 defeated Swiss Storm 119
Svalbard Valkyries 140 defeated Croatian Crushers 123
Greek Titans 148 defeated Belarus Bisons 120
Belgian Bashers 160 defeated Serbian Eagles 155
Macedonian Wolves 121 defeated Iceland Polar Bears 119
In an amazing week all home teams won. Bashers v Eagles was a super high scoring affair and the bashers just came out on top. The wolves clinched their first win after merrett was unable to deliver for the top placed Bears. The lions have been super disapointing and scraped in a win against the stallions with the 3rd lowest score of the round. The Hulks are scaring the competion with flashbacks of serbia who went from spoon to top in a year, bottom 4 last year and now the top scoring team of the week.
Slight guthrie error which I have changed, decreased by score by 42. No change to result
some massive scores there guys (and some really average ones :P)
Still came out with a comfortable win, could have been a bit better without christensens injury though :(
Faaaaaaaaaaaark RIP Serbia

No Sandi, No Watson, No Hibberd
Z Clarke, Weller, Malceski
Thats an easy 200 points lost right there from just 3 players.
1-2 for a team that should be wining grand finals is a piss poor effort and we need to improve!
