Shenzhen Sharkitohs v Raymond Terrace Tanks

There was a big crowd in attendance and many had tipped it as a potential match of the round candidate, but Shenzhen have fired a shot across the bow of their premiership rivals today with a comprehensive 32-0 demolition of the Raymond Terrace Tanks.

The home side lead 20-0 at halftime, and continued on with the work in the second half to complete arguably the most dominant victory so far of FFBRL season 2015.

Shenzhen: Tyrone Peachey 2, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, and Sam McKendry 2. Gordon 6/6
Raymond Terrace: None.
HT Score: 20-0
Dally M: Wade Graham (Sharkitohs) 3, Sam McKendry (Sharkitohs) 2, and David Simmons (Sharkitohs) 1.
Crowd: 23,030

Quahog Quagmires v Brisbane Bulls

Brisbane have won a tight match in their visit to Rhode Island today, the Bulls kicking a late field goal and penalty goal to score a tough 17-8 win over the impressive but ultimately outgunned home side. It was a game Brisbane perhaps will feel they should have won by more, but the two points will be consolation enough.

Quahog: Nathan Gardner. Maloney 2/2
Brisbane: Sam Perrett and Alex Glenn. Sinfield 4/4. Chase 1 fg.
HT Score: 0-8
Dally M: Anthony Milford (Bulls) 3, Alex Glenn (Bulls) 2, and Matt Moylan (Bulls) 1.
Crowd: 5,677

New England Celtic v Barking Sphincters

New England coach Chris Walker-Bush will be an unpopular man in his former Nanjing stomping grounds after his side put a 30-16 past the winless Barking Sphincters in Tamworth today. After a tight first half gave the Chinese club hope of a potential upset against the regining premiers, New England found another gear in the second half to close it out.

New England: Josh Dugan, Semi Radradra 2, Josh Charnley, and Morgan Escare. Charnley 5/6
Barking Sphincters: Josh Hoffman, Luke Robinson, and Anthony Watmough. Sezer 2/4
HT Score: 18-12
Dally M: Gareth Widdop (Celtic) 3, Morgan Escare (Celtic) 2, and Josh Charnley (Celtic) 1.
Crowd: 10,310

St. John's Crusaders v Mu'a Saints

Saint John's and Mu'a have played out an utterly enthralling clash today in the Vatican City, with the more highly fancied Saints having to work hard to keep the Crusaders at bay and score a narrow 24-18 win on the road. James Roberts was again stellar for the home side, while the Saints' backline stood tall.

St. John's: James Roberts, William Zillman, and Adam Reynolds. Reynolds 3/4
Mu'a: Kane Linnett, Michael Jennings, Jarrod Sammut, and Justin Horo. Sammut 4/7
HT Score: 14-18
Dally M: James Roberts (Crusaders) 3, Kane Linnett (Saints), and Jarrod Sammut (Saints) 1.
Crowd: 16,799

Sydney Vipers v Springfield Wildcats

The Springfield Wildcats are 0 from 3 today after being humbled 36-16 by a rampant Sydney Vipers. A rare front-rower's foursome from Ben Hannant was one of many attacking highlights for the home side, who ran in seven tries to three in their romp to victory.

Sydney: Jarrod Mullen, Reece Robinson, Ben Hannant 4, and Scott Dureau. Dureau 4/7
Springfield: Paul Gallen, Jeff Robson, and Shaun Lunt. Thurston 2/3
HT Score: 16-6
Dally M: Ben Hannant (Vipers) 3, Jeff Lima (Vipers) 2, and Scott Dureau (Vipers) 1.
Crowd: 19,920

New Zealand Churr Bros v Multiple Scoregasms

New Zealand have held out for a dour 19-10 victory today as they played host to the Multiple Scoregasms, showcasing plenty of defensive grit to hold their line for the final twenty against a tide of Scoregasms' offense. Both sides managed a pair of tries, but a lop-sided 9-2 penalty count allowed the home side to score a nine point win.

New Zealand: Sam Tomkins and Shaun Kenny-Dowell. Marshall 5/8. Hunt 1 fg.
Multiple Scoregasms: Ben Westwood and Andy Lynch. Cherry-Evans 1/2
HT Score: 6-4
Dally M: Simon Mannering (Bros) 3, Kallum Watkins (Bros) 2, and Shaun Kenny-Dowell (Bros) 1.
Crowd: 14,225

South Canberra Knights v Grapes of Nanking

A controversial relocation to Nanjing, China and an even more controversial renaming of the club has seen the new look Grapes of Nanking cruise to an entertaining 34-24 win over South Canberra today in the Australia capital. The score may look close, but in the 66th minute the visitors were leading 34-6, with three late tries giving South Canberra some consolation and giving new Nanking coach, Dutchy something to yell at his lads about at training.

South Canberra: Tim Simona, John Sutton, Matty Smith, and Joe Westerman. Smith 4/4
Grapes of Nanking: Ethan Lowe, Todd Carney, Kade Snowden, Joel Tomkins, and Jamie Soward 2. Carney 5/6
HT Score: 6-10
Dally M: Robbie Rochow (Nanking) 3, Jamie Soward (Nanking) 2, and Todd Carney (Nanking) 1.
Crowd: 4,727

[afinalsin666]

f**k. Teach me for going away from winning tactics. Not that I'm sure why they were winning.

 

[Misanthrope]

I don't reeally want Newcastle though.

Take St. John's, then. Both are technically available.

 

[dragon4]

Can I please ask someone just to briefly explain the rules regarding buying form and resting players?

Thanks in advance.

 

[soc123_au]

You can add 50 form points across your team each week. Maximum 20 points on one player, also you can't bump a player over 120 using form points. Just list in your orders:

Brad Fittler + 6
Darren Lockyer + 20
Etc

By resting do you mean Physio?

If so list a player to see the physio & 1 week will be reduced from their injury score.
