No more scores from Gariwerd, but an update for Gundagai Gundagai Grasshoppers 1020/12/85.0 Gariwerd Cockatoos 1195/13/91.9 Gariwerd with the lead going into the final quarter. Gundagai have Callum Mills, Paddy McCartin & Marcus Windhager still to come. Gariwerd have Brad Hill & Seb Ross. Gundagai’s three need to score 175 more than Gariwerd’s two.
The fans who couldn’t travel to the game, are excited in Gariwerd watching the game on the big screen!! I tried to post a GIF of the scenes, but couldn’t get it to work

Thanks to Bandit and the team for organising another great season of ORFFA! Bad luck Snoz, and congrats on another good season for your team. I think your team would likely beat mine if both were fully fit. But I’m stoked with my boys getting the job done. 10 wins in a row to finish the season and win the premiership. We went undefeated since the mid-season break. Tbh, I did not expect this result at all this season. Obviously I have been building my team to “win-now”, but after so many of my top players had retired in recent years I was just hoping to sneak into the finals and then you never know how you’ll go in finals, a bit of luck can swing a game, and we’ve seen premiers from outside the top 4. But my team exceeded my expectations, and the top-3 finish was actually very influential in getting through the first round of the finals. My team ended up being fairly balanced across all lines (trading for Draper certainly helped me have some consistency in the rucks), and I had that star power with Rory Laird & Touk Miller having such great seasons. I hope to take a look at my squad during the week and document how I acquired each player. I find it fascinating to see how a premiership is built. Hopefully the results in tsLeagues matches my calculations
Grats Mr Antman! Well played both teams, and commiserations to @snoz Great depth at Hopperland to make it to the big dance given the carnage. Cheers to all you lovely folk for another great season. Who am I kidding, that season sucked. You’re welcome @Bandit
Congrats @anthak , about time. Commiserations @snoz ; won't insult you by saying your mob are better than that. Get stuffed @Bandit . The big question - when does trading start?
Haha, wasn’t it you saying earlier this year that Gariwerd’s squad has never been in the premiership window?
Don't think there is an ORFFA rule that states members have to be consistent in their views and comments.
Congrats Anth - what a great win that was. Have had TS Leagues open for a few quick glances but still no roll over hahaha. No hurry I guess but good stuff @anthak !!
Trading period is open folks... I'll create the threads when I get a minute Congrats @anthak on the win! Congrats @JC on the Zac The rest of you can get stuffed
