While top side JOBBY'S ELITE has shown signficant skill in his play so far this season, there is also a strong element of luck involved in SuperCoach and he was certainly favoured by Lady Luck this week. JOBBY dodged a almighty bullet after carding a subpar 1880 but avoided what would have been a massive boilover as Cossi is one of the stragglers in this year's comp. There's nothing like having a shocker but the draw smiling on you when you do. Another team who had the luck of the draw was FNQ Trotters who, like most of us, struggled like hell this week but Frosty hasn't gotten warm all year so the Trotters got a pass for a pretty ordinary score. Duromine Dependent was the other top side who managed to get a win against a struggling side but at least Duromine managed to score 1902 which was only slightly below par for the round.
Some other sides were not so lucky. Herbs'N'Spices carded a respectable 1969 but copped an astonishing effort from battling Nuggetys Nobodies who gleefully scooped up the upset win to move out of the relegation zone. Nice work @nuggetty goodness. Meanwhile, if CARNTHETIGERS were any stiffer they'd be a frozen pizza. 1996 was an above average score for this week but Straycat Strut managed to avoid most of the pitfalls of the round to win by 16 points.
Some sides just fell in a massive hole. Modraaaaaa! crashed back to earth in no uncertain terms as the wheels just fell off his team. He could literally do nothing as player after player went down. Naturally, The Dukes as one of the best teams in the comp, totally lorded it over Mods and he went to second on the ladder above Strut as a result. Failed Creation lived up to his name and luck can't save you if you can't score 1800, even during a horror round. Wigg was another team to flip out this week with yet another gloriously crud score. Mod's massive fail has now put him in the bottom four but this rather exclusive club only appears to have room for one more as three sides are zip-five and two of them are so bad they probably couldn't even beat each other. Season not done yet for Right Nut who at least scores points (they copped an on fire Some Can't this week) but things are looking grim for Frosty and Cossi.
