Getting that image to look like that was hard enough.  :P

Not sure why I didn't captain Robbo over the flowering hack that is Dayne Beams.

I would have drafted him if I was a coach one year earlier.

Looks like we'll fall short, but it was always going to be extremely hard playing Seoul at home

Seoul 12/991 with Danger (C), McIntosh, Tuohy and HGA to come
New York 12/1067 Higgins (CC), Tarrant and Anderson to come

If we assume Smith's 49 will be HGA then it's 1040 vs 1067, so we've done pretty well to push Seoul but they should get over the line




meow meow

Ancient Sandi winding back the clock to last week!

101, 130, 82, 80, 107 from big Harris in his last 5. What a gun!

After Super Saturday:

(HGA not yet included)

Score Summary
Beijing Thunder (917) from 10 vs Dublin Destroyers (807) from 8#
New Delhi Tigers (972) from 9# vs Cape Town Cobras (675) from 10
Seoul Magpies (991) from 12 vs New York Revolution (1067) from 12*
Pacific Islanders (1357) from 15# vs Moscow Spetsnaz (847) from 10#
Berlin Brewers (1326) from 15# vs London Royals (1163) from 14#
Tokyo Samurai (936) from 10# vs Christchurch Saints (1087) from 12
Toronto Wolves (1187) from 11# vs Buenos Aires Armadillos (1007) from 12**
Cairo Sands (918) from 11# vs Rio de Janeiro Jaguars (1129) from 13#
PNL Reindeers (937) from 14# vs Mexico City Suns (911) from 10#

# = Captain Played
* = one Co-Captain Played
** = two Co-Captain's Played




Interesting game this one! Both teams could hit 150+, but with Beijing's captain yet to play vs Crouch's 'meh' score of 92, I tend to favour the Thunder here! The big 4 mids are back in form!

Four players goin sub 50 have killed the Cobras, whilst New Delhi are on track for 150+. Tigers from here.

Thank god for Clarry ey? Oliver has made Seoul's score competitive enough to post the advantage over New York, in an otherwise even match up. But, if Danger just plods out another low 100... who knows? Bets are on Seoul.

Second week straight that the Islanders are done by Sunday morning, and this will be a much lower score than normal. A healthy HGA of 65 though takes the mountain from tough to perhaps just too hard for Moscow, who will need its 5 remaining players to score 576 points to win.

Once again, Fyfe & Gawn have come to the rescue of a struggling Berlin side (which special mention to Ronke), who should have made it too hard for Jack Higgins to win it from here (he needs to score 204 points to win). Berlin from here.

The Samurai aren't doing toooo bad, but simply needed more from Captain Ross, given the impending return of GAJ. Hindsight also suggests that they shouldn't have rested Cameron. Whoops. Christchurch with the points on the board and the GOAT to come should win from here. Mind you, they wouldn't want GAJ to be a late out...

There's a new chief in town, and his name is Macrae. Our newest super premo has made Toronto an even harder team to beat, and there's just nothing Buenos Aires can do about it... except count their lucky stars they have Webster.

Close game this one! With HGA of 63 included, Rio lead by just 148 points with two extra played. This honestly could be won within 10 SC points. I THINK, I'll go Rio, just because I don't think Cairo will maintain a HGA of 63. Oh wow, that was their captain too  :-\

PNL need this season to come to an end. Whereas I think things have officially turned around at Mexico City...
