MILESTONES
50 Games
- James Worpel (Solomon’s Soldiers)
- Jordan Ridley (Taxmanian Devils)
- Zac Fisher (Love Sparkles)
GAME OF THE ROUND
A bit of competition, but hard to go past this game between two of the pre-season fancies. The Sparkles lost unexpectedly last week. Defenestrators scrapped over the line against the Devils. Can the Sparkles avoid a 0-2 start?
SNEAKY INTERESTING MATCHUP
The Vipers took care of business in week one, while the Devils fought gallantly against last year’s runner-up. Can the Vipers create an early buffer against a team that would fancy themselves a competitor for a finals showing in 2023?
STRAY OBSERVATION
What sort of percentage buffer over the field will the Soldiers have after they put MaherShalalHashBaz to the sword this weekend?
ELIMINATOR
I mentioned this in my pre-season email, and even if we don’t turn it into a “thing”, I thought it would be a fun side competition to keep tabs on.
The lowest score in round one belonged, unfortunately, to Te Puke Pukekos, with a 1550. They are eliminated. A narrow escape from the Puttanesca Chiefs, who only scored 10 more. They live to fight another week.
