Injured Pie Jeremy Howe played a massive part in determining the final ladder positions after his early exit provided a massive shake up in the last round in the Premier League. The most direct result of Moore's errant knee was that dud team Poon Army managed to stay up as the Q Man managed to halt Pool Swimmers' winning ways. RichoRicho was looking a bit wobbly at one stage as well but it was the luckless Pool Swimmers who missed out after Q Before You held on for a vital win.
Eckys Fevolas was another side to be hard hit as their scoring was nowhere near what was required and a fifty fifty match against the Sharks soon turned into a heavy loss. The critical match between the Longwood Lions and REBCats was already starting to head towards the REBCats after Buddy Franklin (not the coach) and an injured JPK had the Lions on the back foot. When Howe went down the Cats started looking at other results and hoping we can sneak in. I can own up to dancing in living room when Howe donned that track suit. What have we become? Someone who is obviously a much bigger gentleman than I, Hondo had his guilty conscience salved when the REBCats fell into the eight despite being ranked 14th in the league in scoring.
There has been very little between the genuine contenders this year and that trend continued but it was the Honey Badgers who were the most impressive this week, racking up a high quality win over a high quality opponent. It seems I have underestimated the Badgers last week. What a cracker that final will be against Has Been next week. I reckon this finals series will be a brilliant one and how lucky is the Captain to get a bye and a saloon passage into the semi finals ha ha.
It's bye bye to Pool Swimmers who scored well but never really made a splash in this league and Hips Don't Lie who could not measure up to the brilliant standards of the past few seasons. They weren't crap but it's a tough old boot this league. Meanwhile Poon Army and Richo Richo are lucky to stay up, Delicious saved their bacon late and Q Man was dead stiff with injuries but nearly made the eight on the back of an injury to an opponent, all the while his real team is injured as. Sharks scored well but couldn't make the eight while Alaska must be wondering how the hell his Lions missed after he was a top four challenger earlier in the year.
Benny Rolf is clear top of the ladder but I don't see that gap in the head to head matches over the next month. I think any one of seven sides can win this flag with my mob probably first round cannon fodder for the Captain next week. I'm not liking FISHs chances of kicking on either as Hondo has proven himself to be almost indestructible in the close matches in recent times. Watch this space campers!
By the way. Some decent banter there Hambone. Only took you ten years with the door almost banging on your arse before you finally decided to stop lurking.
