TR NPC WEEK 5

[EREHWON WARRIORS]

An interesting analysis I like to do now and then is to assess the best possible score the week.  

Last week if you had chosen....
   FR        Lutui          400     &    Dow              360
   LK        Filipo          565     &    McDonald H.  395
   LF        Willams N.  500     &    Waldrom       460
   HV        Hill             585     &    Gopperth      450
   CT        Tipoki         420     &    Nonu            380
   OB       Cashmore  410     &    Hamilton       390
 
 you not only would have scored at least 12 tries (bonus 200) but 5545 points!  As the best team in the word only scored 4325 there's plenty of scope for improvement!
 
Another interesting fact is that 5 of the 12 scores above came from players in losing teams! & four from that enigmatic team that finally turned up to play! (Lions)

NB There are quite a few AB's returning this week contrary to some reports so some good performers might miss out on a stating place or have limited time this week.

            Cheers,

Depends on which Lions team turns up....My heart says last week's one but my head says hold on ....How long is it since there have been two A1 performances in a row!

I'll go with my HEART
