hi everyone, Congrats on another great season. Fixture will be loaded as soon as I have opponent selections from the Top 4.
After the last couple years Gariwerd has had, I can’t believe we’ve finished this season with the same win-loss record as 4th. One more win and we’d be in the top-4 Makes me think about early season losses, like when I lost to the Uglies by 89 in round 10 and I had an OOP Rowston score just 2 points in the ruck. My rucks are going so much better now!
Well done on the season Ant. As for rucks - mine scored 60-something on the weekend and I was overjoyed!
haha yeah its all relative! I traded for Sean Darcy in the mid season break and since then across four rounds, my two rucks (Darcy and Sweet) have averaged 213.8 points between them. 5 of their 8 scores across this period have been 100+ including the 200 that Sweet scored. Compare this to the 4 rounds immediately prior to the mid-season break, where I was forced to play an OOP ruck in all 4 rounds and they averaged 20.3 points per round!

I kinda expected it would go like this, but (no offence to @chris88 Nuffas) I hoped the matchups would land based on ladder position... Now the Cockies are aiming to prove @snoz wrong and come up with the goods this week!
Good luck everyone. Provisional Nuffers team: In: Keane Out: Kelly (inj) D: HH, Idun, Dale, Clark M: Gulden, Rowell, Serong, Richards R: Sims (hopefully) F: Warner, Ross, West, Voss I/C: Redman, Keane Let's see how we go.
