If my calculations are correct, @Bomber18 is currently predicted to win our matchup by a solitary point!
Rangers just sneak over the line after Sinclair and Marshall had big last quarters to take the lead in the final moments.

Bad luck on the finish Darkie - I got lucky with that swing on the C matchups.

Looks like CDLC v Rangers in the next elim final!

A real nailbiter, and close from the moment Bont went huge!

Well done on progressing to another elimination final, you will take some beating. Good luck!

Congrats on the win @Connoisseur

Good luck both sides in the final, feels like a bit of “last man standing” this year with injuries and subs definitely having a say!

Oh is it not an ideal week to best resting/losing Curnow and Mckay? Was hoping all year to have them V West Coast for the GF.

Even having them may not be the stroke of genius I though! ha

Going to be an interesting selection table for this weeks GF:

YRA Considerations

Defenders
Locked: Whitfield, Holmes (MID), Powell, Duggan, Vlastuin.
Likely: Idun, Andrews.
Pushing: Duncan, Cox, Henry.

Andrews has foot in door, season average of 85 up against the pies who tend to give up a few points to intercepting defenders.

Mitch Duncan: Supercoach beast, season average of 84, lowest in a decade. Coming of a stinker the concern.
Brennan Cox: 93,84 last two weeks, taken some of the cheap marks and kicks Ryan was getting first half of the year.
Jack Henry: 3 80's in a row, playing backline in a stabilised Cats defence.

Mids
Locked: Libba, MILLER, Laird, Holmes, Rowbottom.
Likely: J Daicos, Pendles, Danger.
Pushing: Wood, Jones *2, Davies.

Danger appears the floor, averaging 83 and back to back 80s.

Wood: Averaging 80, however very poor last month averaging below 70
Z Jones: Shed the sub role last 5 games and averaging 86, would be M6 if sub vest was not a risk.
D Jones: Back to back 95+... either pick him and want it again, or death ride him and hope for a better 2yC!
Davies: Probably not in equation, but his playing decent mid minutes now which have seen him go 90 plus in 2 of his 3 games playing that role

Rucks
Lock: Witts
Likely: Comben
Pushing: Blicavs

Comben back to playing in defence, loves an intercept mark, very capable of 100 plus in this role.
Blicavs: Playing bit of everywhere, more mid and backline time helpful for scoring above 70.

Forwards
Locked: Heeney, Hogan, Cameron, CURNOW, MCKAY
Likely: Waterman, Greene, Jones
Pushing: Wood, Larkey, Davies, Caddy

If Curnow and Mckay don't play, last spot in 22 likely come down to one of:
Wood: Averaging 80, however very poor last month averaging below 70
D Jones: Back to back 95+... either pick him and want it again, or death ride him and hope for a better 2yC!
Larkey: Capable of a bag, Liam hones a concern?
Davies: Probably not in equation, but his playing decent mid minutes now which have seen him go 90 plus in 2 of his 3 games playing that role
Caddy: Thrown his hand up for a shock selection with 93 last week.

Odds
YRA $1.85
Creme De La Creme $1.95


H2H Record
H2H W-L YRA
1 : Creme De La Creme 1
Round 2 - Creme De La Creme (2257) DEF YRA (2012)
Round 10 - YRA (1919) DEF BY Creme De La Creme (1987)
Finals Week 2 - Creme De La Creme (1864) DEF BY YRA (2167)

Recent Form (most recent score last)
YRA - 2,124 1,977 1,922 1,994 2,167 - avg 2,037
Creme De La Creme - 2,316 1,842 1,979 1,864 2,004 - avg 2,001

Grand Final Preview
The SCSUL |05 premiership will be a tussle between two first time protagonists the Yorkshire Republican Army and Creme De La Creme.

Both the Yorkshire Republican Army and Creme De La Creme spent the majority of the season in the top three of the competition ladder. The Army got off to a shaky start losing it's first two games of the season before bookending the conclusion with two losses. Creme De La Creme scatter a few losses in the middle of the season, ultimatley finishing atop of the ladder at season end..

The Yorkshire Republican Army caused the upset in the Semi Final against Creme De La Creme to make the big dance. Creme De La Creme bounced back defeating the reigning premiers Roppongian Rangers for a shot at the Cup.

Selection headaches?
  • The Army will welcome back Touk Miller, Harris Andrews and Charlie Comben but lose forward pillars Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow to injury.
  • The Creme will go in unchanged with Tom De Koning still out with injury. There are question marks over Jordan Clark in defense.
1723745319769.png

Key Matchups
  • The Midfield Battle: The midfield battle looks evenly poised. The Army will be hoping Touk Miller fires after a long lay off backed by the ever reliable Rory Laird, whilst Creme will hope that evergreen Adam Treloar continues his recent form and that Andrew Brayshaw is on.
  • The Ruck Battle: The Army hold the advantage wiith Jarrod Witts being the key, whilst the Creme will be hoping that Brodie Grundy can break out of his slump for the big day.
  • Boom or Bust: Despite the injuries to big names the Army still hold the advantage in the forwards with Heeney, Hogan, Cameron, Waterman and Greene who have the potential to blow the game apart. The Creme will rely on a bunch of no names. Could this be the day they put their names up in lights? Coach Adam will be hoping it's their turn;.
Prediction: The Army to get it done by 57 pts as their forward line carry the day to the premiership cup.

All the best of luck to @lappinitup and @Connoisseur in the big one, and thanks to all for a great season.

Great write up, good luck @Connoisseur

Little concerned about the midfield power of La Creme, need my forwards to fire.

Currently unchanged so unsure how to feel about that. Billings or Hill may force their way onfield in place of Chandler or Jordon in the meantime.

Best of luck to @lappinitup.
Hehe - I’d be tempted to go in “Unchanged” just for the flex! 💪

I reckon I’d ultimately just pick my best team though 🙂

Best of luck to both @lappinitup and @Connoisseur

May the SC gods look after you both on your quest for Ultimate glory!

(Are we back next week if it is a draw?)
I think our rules are written so that the higher placed team wins given a draw, and thus not written for every scenario, technically it would probably default to the Cremes though not the intention. Obviously, the extra round has given a replay a possibility.

So there is no controversy, if there is a draw The Army will win as they qualified first for the Grand Final.
