PWJ Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 The Roughnecks, Crazy Horse and MX5 can't win - bit of anti-climax but still team profits and superior aggregates to chase. Aegon, Keiai Nautique, Imaging and Fifty Stars can pull Lowdown back to 4-1 and Colette can pull them back t0 3-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Crazy Horse can reduce Usain Colt's winning margin to the minimum with Aegon, Mo'unga, Colette on Incentivise. Keiai Nautique can give Usain Colt a 5-zip win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Piko can win 5-zip with Tofane (must pay $5.10+ or Keiai Nautique complete the Q) or Keiai Nautique MX5 can reduce Piko's margin to 3-2 with Explosive Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 eerily close, Maxi. 🙂 spent the morning at Auckland Hospital with a busted knee .... now getting by with crutches and ibuprofen. still, the lads made up for it ..... Piko finishing this comp strongly, with only our bye game to come. we might hold on to win this thing ...we might not. either way ..it's been a blast ! considering we Piko were cellar-dwellers not too many rounds back....we've done good ...finishing with style. I'd never miss a PJ Comp. The highlight of any weekend. Thanks for the game, Maxi, and good luck to your mx5 in the final round. Me mate Craig's played great again...too good for me today. Many thanks, PJ. Great comp, Again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooFast Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hearty congratulations Pete on an inspired and brilliant 10-point Joker play today ! Puts your team right back in the frame. You'll need to back that up with an equally dazzling peformance the final round. But I wouldn't bet you against your Lowdowns doing just that. Good luck ! 😀 Then it's Mighty Blues .....here we come ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooFast Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Ya know the great thing about these 'Draft' comps is the sheer evenness. After 2 full rounds of round-robin there's only 7 comp points between the 1st and 6th placed teams ! The Captains seem to do a great job picking from the draft, for everything to be that even. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piko took a bonus point for the 4-1 margin while Craig edged Rex just for MX5 MVP honours. 0.00 Graeme 291.00 Geoff 70.00 Rob 186.40 Richie 57.00 Max 337.40 Tom 160.00 Rex 318.60 Hesi 160.20 Craig 110.00 Howie 0 ROUGHNECKS (1st) $867.80 0 points 5 LOWDOWN* (6th) $1434.40 5 (x 2 Joker play) = 10 points Bye - HOT TODDYS (7th) $894.40 1 point Lowdown's cheeky Joker play came to full fruition as they downed the table leaders 5-zip and added a team profit to secure the maximum 10 points on offer. Well done Lowdown ! Only Gordy found the final winner as Lowdown drew a blank. Dino was MVP for The Roughnecks and unlucky to draw Man of the Match Steve in the match-ups. The Hot Toddys all missed again in the last but had done enough to beat The Roughnecks aggregate and secure a point with Punter Pete edging Pam as MVP. 91.00 Gordy 151.00 Robert 256.40 Jen 353.40 Maurice 82.00 Roland 185.00 Sharne 130.00 Gee 349.00 Pete 308.40 Dino 396.00 Steve P 72.80 Midnight C 211.00 Maria 240.60 Punter Pete 234.00 Pam 136.00 Heather 2 CRAZY HORSE (4th) $942.20 0 points 3 USAIN COLT (5th) $947.80 2 points Usain Colt had it won before the last but had their margin reduced to the minimum as Blind Squirrel found the Shamus Award winner to reel in Ray however Stevie snagged the quinella to deny Crazy Horse a point for a higher aggregate -damn that man ! Rees was a commanding Man of the Match with an excellent score again while Ian, pressured unsuccessfully all day by the scorer was Usain Colt MVP - too good mate.

MX5 slipped from 3rd to 4th in defeat while Usain Colt's win allowed them to maintain 5th position. Crazy Horse lost two places in defeat while The Hot Toddys remain in the cellar but console themselves with a point from their Bye round. Four Jokers to be played in the Final Round next week where the top 5 teams all stand a chance of winning the Winter Championship. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globederby19 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 AAArgghh. That was a close match and to miss a higher aggregate point to put us in 5th and in with a chance at the end by 5 bucks hurts. Well done Usain Colt , now we only have pride to play for but can be a spoiler to MX5. Thanks PJ for another enjoyable day and the plunge got close but just came up short. I have to confess i am rather surprised I am leading the scoring and another one today. I changed my tactics but never thought they would just keep rolling in. Pity the bloody Trots wouldn't do the same, might tempt me to defect. Just kidding Mardy, Rusty, Happy ,Robert, Craig.🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
