an injury depleted Serbia limp into this round with Barlow Boomer and Cloke out of the squad. The team is looking abit old this week as Serbia pushes for its first ever flag after being the dominant team in the comp for 2 straight years. Belgium are tough competition though and we will need another big week to overcome them, but hopefully we still have the firepower to overcome them.
We're playing two OOPs guaranteed :P
I'll be riding Stallions all week long after we smash them into submission >:D.
Haha probably. :(
Heppell, JPK, Macrae, Daisy, McGlynn.
3 outs and 2 uncertainties.
I think Iceland will be fine, just need to make sure tomorrow night when teams are announced.
Fantasy disaster for teams late in the season :-X.
Yeah it's ridiculous.
Also Holz, wrong logo haha.
Probably the biggest game Iceland have ever played! A spot in the Grand Final is on the line against the mighty Stallions, but the Icelandic people are hoping this fairy tale run continues!
Iceland Polar Bears
Backs: J. McVeigh, A. Mackie, J. Frawley, J. Harbrow
Mids: J. Lewis (C), M. Duncan, C. Judd, D. Tyson
Ruck: S. Mumford
Fwds: R. Gray (VC), J. Westhoff, J. Elliot, C. Wingard
Bench: F. Ray, H. Bennell
Emg: C. Mayne, J. Watts, C. Dempsey
OUT: J. Watts
IN: J. Harbrow
Hard call for the last 2 back spots again this week, with Watts the unlucky casualty in the big prelim. Mayne so close to getting a game instead of Wingard, I just don't have the heart to pull the trigger on it as Wingard can pull out monster games so just hoping for one soon :(. Also sespite Lewis' downer of a game earlier this season against same opposition, he's been in killer form, just can't take the Captaincy off of him. Hopefully everybody puts in a solid effort and get a few big games, especially from Lewis, in order to lift us!

Out: JPK, McGlynn, Heppell, Melksham, Grigg, our midfield got slaughtered. :'(
To be honest, those outs make our midfields sorta equal :P. If you had the first three, certainly would make up a heap :o. BIG outs in the prelim, and hoping we can capitalize >:D.
Robinson (dickhead) and Bird (flower you Tippet for injuring Birds knee) hurt our forward line.
Redden (foot) and Rosa (pec) forces us to play kids in the middle.
The non selections of Terlich/Seedsman/Nicholson/Reilly/Hartigan plus the injury to Webster has wrecked our backline.
We were unlucky in week 1 of finals but flower me sideways if we get up this week I'll shed a tear :')
Vin a mod? Never thought I'd live to see the day. :o :P
Ugh, Murph stretchered off.. Good game Holz.

Surprised nobody mentioned the opening posts stating "semi final 1 and 2"
To be honest, I just looked at the pictures :P.
Big night for Iceland :D. Gray, Westy, Wingard and Judd manage 400+ between them already putting Stallions on the back foot.

1196/12. Big performances from our Port forwards as well as solid performances from most others. Down week from half of our backs is able to be covered by others. Thinks are not looking too great for Stallions either with NicNat gone...
I didn't even realise Elliot wasn't playing as didn't see him in the outs and forgot the last round haha.

Just noticed there was no C/VC named and Crameri was named twice :P. Seeing as JPK and Hepps were C/VC combo last time they named a team think I'll just give it to Danger/Jaeger since first two mids named (so fair assumption).
618/7. Still half their team to come but unless the youngsters put in a mighty effort, think it'll be too far gone :-X.

you got abit unlucky with murph and pridda slowing down.
pumped i finally made a grandfinal. In what could be my last year as coach of Serbia.
Hahaha wow, this is really bad. :P
Well done HP, Iceland have been awesome this finals series and most of this year! Think you could really scare the Eagles.
Cheers Vin, shows that having good depth goes a long way ;). I'm just happy a few of my guys really stepped up this season, especially this finals series. Certainly going to be a big battle against Serbia, but I believe in my guys :D.
