How did we end up tie breaking votes last year? I have one position with equal votes?

Sorry to Force for no entries, sorry to Reds for not having more.

[KOB1987]

I will sit out this week, I was away and have seen snippets of every match but the full coverage of none. I doubt I will have a chance to catch them all.

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Not too much difference in the teams this week. Feels positive when this happens.

 

[Slim 293]

6 Richard Hardwick (Rebels)

Not eligible (I made the same mistake last week)...

 

[Dctarget]

Feel like Dickie is a bit hard done by on this. Like, yeah he's not eligible but it's a bit of a technicality, he's an Aussie player, not a ring in. He won't play for the Wallabies but neither will John Ulugia or Bryce Hegarty.
