UKJC vs WT2K
Moanaman vs Cookie Monster

Going into the last game of the round, UKJC is pantsing WT2K, who does not appear to be a forum member any more. Moanaman needs Matt Timoko to score 30 or more to beat Cookie Monster

L2 GF will be

Monty_Burns - dominated the season
robelgordo - fortunate win where my opponent Olly had 3 players on bye plus copped AJ Brimson late out with no cover

Don’t like my chances

Current score in L3

Moanaman 643 vs 642 Cookie Monster

Tighter than a nuns proverbial

L1 semifinals

ET 635 - CBW 699
JStevens 471 - SnatchPato 589

SnatchPato getting lucky as not only did JStevens have JDB and Holmes suspended in the same week, but cover Lodge/Tupou combining for 22 points, just some very untimely bad luck.

CBW with a dominant victory, and ET a great showing considering ARey and Brimson were both late scratchings (though Rapana covered well for Brimmo). ARey has been known to go 60+, so what could have been.

Grand Final of CBW v SnatchPato has all been very civil. Can CBW claim yet another L1 Draft Victory? Or will only just promoted from L2 this year, SnatchPato, create the upset no one saw coming?

Also worth noting that ET dominated the minor premiership with a massive 28 points (14-0-4), great season mate.

L3 semifinals
UKJC 581 v 451 WT2K
Moanaman 643 v 642 Cookie Monster

I'm sorry @Cookie Monster 1 point is a harsh loss....

UKJC has been #1 for most of the season and finished with an impressive 15-3 record. His lower score this round was down to Mofo and Arrow. Interestingly he had Adam Elliot (65) and Lucy (76) in reserves...

Good luck @UKJC May the best Leeds Rhino's fan win

Good luck mate, not too much though!

Think you’ve probably got the advantage heading into it with my team having a few injury doubts with Tago, Farnworth & Arrow, plus Fotuaika suspended and Leilua on the bye. Will see what team lists bring tomorrow but think I might end up needing to make some trades.

@UKJC Don’t you give me the “oh my team is so week compared to yours, you're the favourite!” Im too long in the tooth to fall for that shit!

1/2 way through the L3 Final and UKJC leads Moanaman by 4 points with 5 players played each.

Congrats @Moanaman L3 Champion 2023.

Couple of big performances from your mids there to get you over the line.

Big congratulations to @Cantbeatwinners who goes back to back with L1 Draft Victories.

A dominant finals series, peaking at the right time in the season. Despite copping two 12 points head injuries in the finals, the rest of the boys stepped up and got the W. Big shoutout to Dane Gagai who stole the show in the final game.

Congrats to me for winning L2 


Commiserations to Monty_Burns who had been the best team all season. Surprisingly my middles laid the better platform this week (Butcher, MCInnes, Rudolf vs Haas, Yeo, Barnett) and that was the difference

Congrats to our three winners;

L1: CantBeatWinners
L2: robelgordo
L3: Moanaman

From what I could see at the "also-rans" bar, it looked like a tough week where you could take nothing for granted.

Thanks Josh! I thought it was over after trading out Ramien for you to pick him so and get 72! That was dumb on my part! You should be stoked with your season, you led from pretty much round one and had the best record over the three leagues.

Thanks Easy for setting this up, unfortunately I’m going to have to resign my position as L3 commissioner!

Yeah was really happy with the season on the whole, just gutting to lose out in the final!
Best of luck for you in L2 next year!
