Summer Super Draft Comp - Round 6 - Sat Feb 19 - selection thread

[PWJ]

ROUND 6 - Sat Feb 19

Offngone, having regained the lead in the comp, take on the Grey Ways who have at last struck a winning vein. May not quite be the walkover for Ian's boys that it looks on paper. Surf N Turf and the Yahabebees are each looking to recover from defeats and a nil return last week to get their challenge back on course with the longshot shootout between buddies Rob and Gee sure to be a feature.

The Max Factors have won one match more than their opponents - the Grim Reapers - but find themselves two points and 3 places adrift of their rivals. They will need plenty of "warpaint" for this battle. The Mr Aybees are looking for a reset after their failed Joker gambit last week but a vastly improved Wurzels outfit (finally getting the best out of their top draft pick - gear changes I presume OR did they geld him ??) may prove a tough proposition.

The Hot Baches are in a flush of form racing up to trail the leading Offngone franchise and now face a tricky choice for their match-up in their Bye round. I'm second guessing Maria will choose SNT vs the Yabbies (that's who I would have gone for) but then I am the worst mind reader when it comes to women .....

Captains don't forget: there are 5 Joker cards and 8 Jeopardy chips remaining unused with only 4 rounds remaining

Post your selections here. Remember, two selections per race; one best bet in each country; scratching replacements on a new post (don't edit your original). You won't know your opponents selections until the selection thread is opened up 30 minutes before the start of comp race #1.
