IN: Ben Long, Hayden Crozier

OUT: David Zaharakis (Omitted), Zach Tuohy (Omitted)

MILESTONES: Ben Long makes his debut for Wisconsin I believe.

Meanwhile, after making their debuts after crossing form Houston, Zaharakis and Tuohy have both been banished beyond the emergency bench and are unlikely to return to the rolling 22. Leaving the coach wondering why he wanted them in the first place and didn't go after Milo instead.

MILESTONES: Ben Long and Darcy Tucker make their debuts for Wisconsin I believe.

Despite Zaharakis being banished, he has concocted a delightfully devilish plan to get back into the 22 by sabotaging better mids, thus leaving him as the only option for the mid emergency.

New Brooklyn Hawks 17.10.118 defeated Colorado Avalanche 16.8.104
(Real: 1764 vs 1558)

Maybe a little bit closer than the Hawks were wanting, as they skipped away late with Jack Steele providing a strong late effort. Colorado weren't too shabby at all, plenty of passengers but Matt Rowell stole the show with a huge 171, begging for the captaincy next week. Only one score above 50 from Colorado's F2-4, U1-3 and sub was very costly, but their backline and midfield were solid, while NBH were pretty good across the ground (it helped having five forwards!), but naming their lowest scoring player as VC didn't help their cause.

Best
Brooklyn: Steele, Cripps, Houli, Dumont, Petrevski-Seton, Weller
Colorado: Rowell, Ebert, Maynard, Simpkin


Chicago Sharks 20.5.125 defeated Anaheim Mighty Ducks 16.13.109
(Real: 1877 vs 1627)

Chicago more than back up their round one score with a very impressive effort, on the back of a very strong midfield brigade lead by Sinkers. Merrett put the ducks on his back but it just wasn't enough, as they can consider themselves unlucky to slip to 0-2 - maybe this year they're too old and too slow? Look for them to bounceback hard next week.

Best
Chicago: Sinclair, Gaff, Oliver, Polec, Yeo, Parker, Florent
Anaheim: Merrett, Boak, Smith


Boston Terriers 21.10.136 defeated Ottawa Otters 14.12.96
(Real: 2035 vs 1436)

Ottawa: Smith

San Francisco Grizzlies 16.12.108 lost to Houston Bombers 19.9.123
(Real: 1614 vs 1847)

I'm tempted to do a same as above match summary here, but that would just be lazy adminning wouldn't it? When Marc Pittonet puts up a 134 for you lady luck has to be on your side, as he almost laps Premiership Player Stef Martin by a ton. Could Houston be a fringe premiership contender? They easily could've put up a 1900+ score here had Heeney played as usual.

Best
San Francisco: Adams, Stewart, Coniglio, Soldo, Langford
Houston: Walters, Pittonet, Jones, Crisp, Murphy, Robinson, Clark


Carolina Panthers 18.9.117 lost to Quito Quetzals 19.8.122
(Real: 1757 vs 1828)

Reasonably close game between two premiership contenders, as mere pedestrian performances by Grundy (115) and Shiel (96) compared to their round one showings condemned Carolina to a 1-1 record, while Quito rode ROB and a good late captain performance by Dunkley to an important victory.

Best
Carolina: Rozee, Ryan, Menegola, Grundy, Kelly
Quito: O’Brien, Dunkley, Lycett, Higgins, Ross, Vlastuin

Wisconsin Cockerels 22.12.144 defeated Las Vegas Sinners 17.9.111

Las Vegas: Lloyd, Fyfe Petracca, Westhoff
