Gentlemen, I think its worth it, just for fun, having another ORFFU losers finals this year. We'll run in parallel with the regular finals, same format, so: 9 - Pakenham Parasites - @ddsaints 10 - Staghorn Flat Bulls - @tyze1 11 - Coolgardie Prospectors - @JPK 12 - Christmas Island Smugglers - @DamoH 13 - Serengeti Buffalos - @wrightbrendan 14 - Southern Cross Sandgropers - @eagle_eyed 15 - Hughenden Prairie Dogs - @Batfink 16 - Korumburra Blowflys - @Mick Week 1 will be 9-16, 10-15, 11-14, 12-13 Week 2 will be winner of 9-16 against winner of 12-13, and winner of 10-15 against winner of 11-14 Week 3 will be the two remaining winners! The results of this will not effect the PSD order, that is already locked in. This is purely for bragging rights, as the best of the sh!t teams. Perfectly for me, my Prospectors get to have another grudge match against Southern Cross! I love it how that worked out!
As the current holder of the "best of the sh!t teams" title, CIFC is both saddedned and excited to be going around in this comp again!
Haha. A little teaser leading into another 20 odd weeks battling you in 2 other leagues @Mick hahaha. Good fun I'll give you this one if you go easy on me in premier
The Coolgardie Prospectors ready for the grudge match against Southern Cross for R1 of the losers finals is: Def: J Macmillan, O Fantasia, J smith (OOP), D Petrie (OOP) Mid: J Kennedy, O Wines, B Ebert, M Hutchings - R Clarke Ruc: S Mumford Fwd: J Watts, J Westhoff, M Wright, M Daw - C Pedersen Int: S Martin, T Miller - T Dickson Car'n The Mighty Prospectors

Best of the Rest Elim Final - The Bulls have already sent half the defence on their offseason break (Salem, Wilson, Ibbotson & Mackie), some might say they never returned from last years given their output this year! In: Hall, McGovern & Bastinac Out: McKenzie, Blair & Mackie DEF: Boyd Duryea Wilson McEvoy OOP (Blair OOP) MID: Coniglio Rockliff Griffen Swallow (Weller) RUC: Lobb FWD: Lynch Bird McGovern Hall (Bruce) I/C: Hill Bastinac
Hey hey, there's thinking! @walesy any chance we could make that happen, please? Is this something that I could be doing myself to stop "wasting" your time?
The Hughenden Prairie Dogs team for the clash against Staghorn Flat Bulls is as follows:- Def: Bradley Sheppard, Lee Spurr, Elliott Yeo, Lachie Hanson (Sam Fisher) Mid: Callan Ward, Kieren Jack, Callum Mills, Dylan Shiel (Nicholas Graham) Ruc: Aaron Sandilands Fwd: Tom Hawkins, Luke Breust, Sam Kerridge, Lindsay Thomas, (Kyle Langford) Int: Clayton Oliver, Liam Shiels (Jarrad Jansen)
Updated Team Best of the Rest Elim Final - The Bulls have already sent half the defence on their offseason break (Salem, Wilson, Ibbotson & Mackie), some might say they never returned from last years given their output this year! In: Hall, McGovern, Ibbotson & Bastinac Out: Hill, Blair, McEvoy & Mackie DEF: Boyd Duryea Wilson Ibbotson (McEvoy OOP) MID: Coniglio Rockliff Griffen Swallow (Weller) RUC: Lobb FWD: Lynch Bird McGovern Hall (Bruce) I/C: McKenzie Bastinac (Hill)
@JPK The Sandgropers team to take on their arch rivals The Prospectors in the battle to be the biggest loser! DEF: J.McGovern, H.Taylor, S.Day, L.Plowman MID: M.Duncan, B.Crouch, A.Vandenberg, D.Sheed RUC: J.Roughead FWD: C.Rioli, D.Smith, J.Stringer, J.Darling INT: C.Cameron, J.Harmes Playing away at Coolgardie will be real treat for Southern Cross as the locals will barely be able to finish 1 king brown on their way to the ground. The Prospectors will be looking for some revenge after losing to the Sandgropers earlier in the season; and to be honest if they can't get it against a team fielding 7 reserve players then they really don't deserve the bragging rights! It's going to take some big performances to counteract the spuds and see Southern Cross get over the line; but stranger things have happened. Go Gropers!!!
