There's 8 players left in the game, there's also 8 teams left in the 2015 NRL season, so, in the throwback with a twist week, we will be doing a HOH challenge on the first week of the NRL finals.
This will be similar to the first HOH challenge, but with a twist.
You will name a team of 13 players. This team, they can play any position, there are no restrictions. You will name two of your players as your designated goal kickers and two as your designated captains.
You will score 4 points for a try and this time you will score 1 point for a field goal. Captains will score double points and nominated kickers will get 2 points for each goal they score.
However, the biggest twist on this, is that this competition will be run knock-out tournament style. I have come up with a random bracket, here it is below:

First round will be played on Friday night (Sydney vs Melbourne), Semi final will be played on Saturday (Canterbury vs St George and Brisbane vs North Queensland) and the final will be played on Sunday (Cronulla vs South Sydney).
If you have more points than your opponent in each round, then you will move on, so for example, if you score 20 points in Friday's game and your opponent scores 16, then you will move onto the semi finals.
Please send your entry with your listing of players from 1 to 13 including what team they play for and also name your kicker and captain in brackets. For example:
1. Scott Minto (North Queensland)
2. Ewan McGrady (Canterbury) (Captain)
3. Joven Clarke (Souths) (Captain)
4. Russell Aitken (Melbourne) (Kicker)
5. Ben Barba (Cronulla)
6. Bob Conway (Brisbane) (Kicker)
etc.
Tiebreakers:
1. Scores totalled in previous rounds.
2. Captains score in this match.
3. Tries scored in this match.
4. Who sent in their entry first.
Which strategy will you take? Will you stack your team in the opening rounds or stack in for the final, hoping that you get there?
PM me with your team on LU PM by 7PM Friday.
