Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 4: Gold City Royals v Las Vegas Bears @ The Golden Throne

[tgrs]

Round 4
Gold City Royals vs Las Vegas Bears

Gold City will host the Bears as the Royals seek to find the winners list after falling to the Gumbies last week in a low-scoring affair, and a more active offense will certainly be expected in front of their home crowd.

The Bears look to take their winning ways on the road again after disposing of the Bombers with Chipmunk scoring an awesome winning goal in the dying moments of an absolute thriller.

Season so Far

A good new logo doesn't translate to Qooty consistency, otherwise the Royals would be guaranteed a home final already. The Royals added 3 new rookies to their list with manicpie being the strong starter, whilst also snagging super suns from the Dragons and a returning Uncle_Leo and Crimson Azure , but the delisting of Sweet legends including former Captain and games record holder Blacky and #scandal creator brahj certainly indicates a changing of the guard in Gold City.

Cadsky carries a large weight within the team but is well supported Zevon , krakouers , GreyCrow and Footypie32 amongst others. The Royals put out a disappointing showing last week, scoring the third lowest total for the season so far of any club and need to leave that performance in the past to bounce back quickly.


Players to Watch

- GreyCrow

I remember when GreyCrow debuted in S23 and now he's played almost 200 more games than me. Crazy. The 3rd most capped Royal ever.
DT Points this Season: 232 (Club 3rd)
Tackles this Season: 11 (Club 2nd)
Hit-outs this Season: 28

- Cadsky

The Royals Captain has led from the front this season, often topping match thread post counts and leading the club in DT points so far in the season.
DT Points this Season: 260 (=10th)
Kicks this Season: 42 (=2nd)
TOTW Selections: 1


Prediction

A victory, or potentially a defeat, but almost definitely not a draw.

The Season so Far

The Bears were the last club I played for and they kind of exploded during the season I was there, although I claim no responsibility. Under the captaincy of tony they seem to have found their feet. Veterans like Test Tickle , Cap , Art Vandelay_ and JoshWoodenSpoon remain with the club, whilst MWPP and Matera92 are flying the flag for non-key forwards across the league.

The Bears suffered a disappointing loss in Round 1 to the Dragons but since then have been in fine form, scoring victories over the Roys and the aforementioned nail-biter against the Bombers and will look to take another away scalp here this weekend.

Players to Watch

- MWPP

Statistically one of the best Forward Pockets in the league who also contributes well in match threads, a massive boon to the Bears list.
Goals this Season: 6 (Club =2nd)
Behinds this Season: 9 (Club 1st)
TOTW Selections: 1

- JoshWoodenSpoon

The two time Beez MVP has found a rich vein of form in the backline this season whilst also being one of Las Vegas' best in match threads.
TOTW Selections: 2
Marks this Season: 16 (Club 1st)


Prediction

A defeat, or a potential victory, but highly unlikely to draw.


Teamsheets have your captains present you at some point, thank you​

Alright Bears, let's keep this winning streak going! This week, we're up against the Gold City Royals at the Golden Throne. I’ve checked out the facilities, and I have to say, it’s a pretty impressive setup. This Golden Throne sure does look better than the woods we use as dunnies back in Las Vegas. Remember to flush and wash your hands after using it!

Come and join the fun in the match thread this week as we aim for a royal flush.

I should have stopped reading after the 2nd line.

Good morning Bears. It's great to be hosting you this week.

No it isn’t. We should have done an NRL and sold a home game to Las Vegas. It’s not too late skip, make it happen

Thank you for hosting us, I look forward to using the Golden throne, but not so much the crushing on Sunday.

 

[tony]

No it isn’t. We should have done an NRL and sold a home game to Las Vegas. It’s not too late skip, make it happen

This might be the only way we get to play a game at home. 4 rounds in and we have only played 1 game at home.

 

[Zevon]

This might be the only way we get to play a game at home. 4 rounds in and we have only played 1 game at home.

That’s outrageous, if I was league commissioner everyone would be playing all their games in Vegas. We could call it Gambling Gather Season.

A very good morning to you Bears.

Supersuns and I will be hanging out at the Blackjack table all week. Come say hi!

Ah darn it, it’s a home game?? The one opponent I never want to play at home

This is the only week I can shit in a toilet not the woods so I'm always happy to play for the Royals

I mean play AT the Royals... yes...

All in on Chippy the Hero

 

[Millky95]

Oooooh soft rebrand to the A-newbies?

 

[Zevon]

All in on Chippy the Hero

Such reckless addictive behaviour on display. This is why you shouldn’t gamble kids.

And before you say anything, it’s not gambling when I do it. It’s investing.

Thank you for placing your bets with Chippybet, we look forward to keeping your money.

Terrible names

My guess is the owner of these horses may have been a little preoccupied when he came up with those names.

Watch his last quarter against the Boomers last weekend. He was Heeney like

Hopefully the real Heeney plays four quarters against the Bombers this week.

 

[Dingster]

Good for you MWPP

You have my vote. We have 2 perfect locations as well to suit everyone's needs.

 

[Millky95]

Hopefully the real Heeney plays four quarters against the Bombers this week.

And hopefully Chipmunk gets 2 votes against you guys this week

No one else from my team is robbing me of my Mobbs
