    that's the risk you take with TWB... but I'm with you Rees ....makes for an exciting afternoon doesnt it...you could be up by a huge amount only to come unstuck by a Jen special,  a Roland rocket or the entire Imperial Air Force.  Keep the valium handy!

    Might borrow PJ,s undies on second thoughts. Yah washed them didnt yah, Pete :classic_tongue:

    Breaking News from Mustelid Media:

    In addition to the x5 Prize Packs previously announced for the Champion Team, there will be a prize for the Highest Individual Aggregate over the 14 Rounds (ie excluding playoffs).

    This ensures that the player who makes the most profit is suitably rewarded, whether or not his/her team makes the Top 4.

    The prize is a Cambridge Stud-branded  long-sleeved rugby jersey, courtesy of the lovely people at ... Cambridge Stud.

    Hey can I get Andy to pop around the corner and pick my jersey up early.lol

    A very interesting day in the Comp yesterday …..an anticipated day for favourites seeing a canny and ultimately fruitful Joker play by John and the Five-Os against the Longshot Legends 'The Wild Bunch'. That's exactly what we would have done had it been our day against 'The Wild Bunch'. Life's all a matter of timing ...sometimes you get it right, and sometimes ……. 😁.    

    In another match,  La Bog poured water over the Dynamite's powder keg and a new Comp leader was born, the 'Red Hots'. But back to La Bog, well done, Captain Rees, after taking the previous match a little lightly and resting Richie last Sunday, Rees was all concentration and focus this week, Richie back in the starting roster, and hey presto, a great result. Personally I would have played Richie last Sunday, Rees, but what do I know, my team is coming 6th and your team is right up there, coming,...well ….. er …...5th ! (thought you were higher than that …. you're certainly trending upwards, Long may you continue to do so.)  

    The "Red Hots' continue to go from strength to strength under Pete's astute guidance, opening on the Tote at $1.30 when the Comp got underway many moons back,  and fully justifying the short odds ever since. Next week we 'Once Were Far Too Fast' will be feeling like Canada walking out onto the stadium against the All Blacks when we come up against the 'Red Hots' second time around. The only 'UTR' who will be feeling nervous going into our match-up next Saturday will be Captain Pete up against '9-in-one-blow' Robert -yesterday's comp supremo #1 and an absolute legend for the 'Far Too Fast' all campaign, far and away our most successful player this time around. I remind anyone interested that Robert was the last player in to the 'Far Too Fast' lineup, being picked up well in to the draft at  somewhere around 25 of 32 from memory - and he's been absolutely sensational. One thing for sure, he won't be 25 next time ! Sleep well this week, Pete. 😁

    Hearty congratulations to Maxi and his 'Animal Kingdom' yesterday, in front most of the day and wrapping up the deal in Comp R9 with 'Kings Will Dream' . Maxi had warned me at the start of the day that he had avoided the favourites because he had a longshot (or two) that would see victory snatched from defeat somewhere along the way, and sure enough ! 😊…...he left it late …...but R9 …… it came ! Life is all about timing …. I backed 'Kings Will Dream' at its previous start, enjoyed a dream trip in transit, the gaps came 300m from home ….. and it promptly fell in a heap ! figuratively speaking. 😔. Just goes to show, you've gotta follow your money. Anyways, great stuff the very astute Maxi and the 'Animal Kingdom', for whom Moose I note is also doing very well this campaign. Best of luck as  your team progresses towards the Play-offs. You're doing well.

    Still with me, Rees ? 😅 This one's a little longer than usual. You better grab a coffee and put your feet up. La Bog can do without you for a few minutes, surely.

    My friends and colleagues Robert, Geoff, Stevie P, and Jack - the optimist in me says we can still wreak some havoc in the rounds that remain to us. We're holding out for that. Realistically though - our chances of making the layoffs have been … and gone. 😮. Playing now for pride and we have plenty of that so looking forward very much to the remaining rounds. Wouldn't it be a great coup if we could knock off the 'Red Hots' this coming Saturday ! Where Robert leads us this Saturday we will follow closely behind. Surely. 

    Bring it on, baby, we've still got some rock'n'rollin'  to do yet ! 😁

    PJ ….. 9 from 9 in this comp ………..team stalwart …... legend ! 

    Jack …..you know what you gotta do !   😉 You're the only one standing between PJ and a perfect '10'. Let's show PJ and the 'UTR' we can be Far Too Fast again.

    Thanks again for your accurate scoring and timely, lively updates again yesterday, PJ. Much appreciated by us all.

    Next week, people. See you then. Enjoy your week.

    ZZZZZzzzz , Crikey, note to self," grab a cushion for this pew" , bums gone to sleep along with my brain. Even Rogets and Thesaurus have run for cover.

    Hi Pete,

    It is an honour to be regarded as a challenge, but on any given day, any of us are capable of selecting numerous winners. I might have been fortunate this week, but last week, I had two winners, totaling $59.

    Something you learn in training horses, just because there is a big race this week, or in my case, a top competitor, and top bloke, might I say, change nothing.

    Cheers.

    Robert.

    Do I hear flapping of wings and Kwark kwark kwark. Robert shame on you.

  5. My Team just keep turning up, well most of the time (eh Richie), you make up for it when you are here,( note:check in box on messages).:classic_biggrin:

    What can i say Rex , ON FIRE baby , and Ashoka chiming in with nice totals. Paul still to fire but saving it up for the finals where he will go BOOM

    We have gained more ground on the leaders but lost some due to Five 0  winning with a Joker play, but we have  got them in our sites now guys and with our Joker play to come will surely have us in the top four at the end.

    Commiserations Dynamite , we got that easier than i thought we would:classic_tongue:, and Bro it would have been one all. :classic_biggrin:.

    Onwards and upwards guys ( no staggering up the cellar stairs) onto the next hapless opponent.

    Captain
