Let's start with a bit of humour:
A man is sitting at home alone when he hears a knock on the front door. He opens it to find two sheriff's deputies there. He asks if there is a problem.
One of the deputies asks if he is married. He says, "Yes, I am."
The deputy then asks if he could see a picture of the man's wife.
The guy says, "Sure," and gets a photo to show them.
The deputy says, "I'm sorry, sir. But it looks like your wife's been hit by a truck."
The guy replies, "I know, but she has a great personality and is an excellent cook."
Welcome to this round 10 fixture, to be held at Ljp86's Lair. It's 7 v 11, but such is the tightness of the competition, the 2 combatants in this game are only separated by percentage.
Dragons
The home side was left to rue their inaccuracy in front of goal in a 22 point loss to the Phoenix, although apparently the loss was actually my fault, with serial_thrilla expressing a desire that someone else should post their games for the rest of the year (I'm sure he actually realises that results don't change - regardless of who posts the match
).Who’s hot
Ljp86: 23 possessions, 11 tackles & 2 goals
King Tenz: 30 possessions & 8 marks
Who’s not
Ge3ks: 7 possessions
DJ75: 5 possessions & 2 marks
Roys
Normally when a team kicks 19 goals, they win the game - but not in this case, because the Furies booted 22. I recently interviewed skipper TedDougChris: when I asked him for his definition of defence, he replied, "It's dat fing dat surrounds de house." So after the Furies had no less than 10 goal kickers, the Roys' back 6 will need to tighten up on the Dragons' forwards this week, or it could be a similar result.
Who’s hot
JackNah_8: 32 possessions & 7 marks
Tigs2010: 25 possessions, 8 tackles & a goal
Who’s not
Royboy2: 1 possession (better than donuts I guess)
Barrels: 2 possessions & a goal
Who wins
The sim is almost as difficult to read as a Wonders match thread, but I'll say the Roys will bounce back this week, and win by 7 points.
