    It's going to be incredibly close for who will get to the knock out stages of the tournament.

    Basically, if the Spartans don't finish first, it'll be a massive shock.

    In terms of odds, the Vikings are in 2nd but only marginally ahead of the Sharks and Hurricanes. Probably whoever is more active out of those three teams might pull ahead, though if the Sharks can sign CCG, then they'll pull clear in 2nd - though certainly not far enough to guarantee them that place.

    The Gamblers will be a tough proposition at home and no easybeats. I suspect out of all the teams, they'll be hoping for rain as their forward pack matches any other team.

    The Crabs look like guaranteed spooners but they are looking better than I thought they might. In Speirs, Athlai and Phlegm they'll have some reasonable players in the back line.

    Sharks to pull out the performances in the big games and finish top of the lot.

    It's not the winning, it's the crab claw to the nuts in the scrum that counts.

    Really keen to see if our forward pack can lead our team forward to the finals.

    Front row, Back Row = Excellent
    Second row, however...

    Should go well at the scrums against most teams, but the line out could be a problem without a specialist hooker and two average locks.

    Yeah true. We'll be relying on plenty of turnovers by our pack.

    Maybe I should've accepted that Gamblers offer. Their backs rating just looks so out of place :p

    Haha, WAC. Should put me at 10 for them and see what the ranking is.

    Quite a bit better. Until I take into account your goal kicking... Fortunately, they have Julian at 15 who does that.

    This post makes simming the season seem pretty pointless.
