Virtual Super 14 - Week 9 results

The Dropkicks collective still languish near the bottom of the pack, and Wrongun still sits firmly at the top. Mike has now leapfrogged Dom to leave the Mallet as the bottom-placed Dropkick, and Hadyn and Noizy continue to jostle for the top individual Dropkick spot near the top of the table, where Public Address's Russell Brown has slipped quietly into third place. Perhaps Russell got a few wise tips from Hadyn, Noizy and Che when he interviewed the Wellingtonista crew - which includes the aforementioned trio - for an upcoming radio show. Or perhaps not.

Virtual Super 14 - Week 6 results

Well, despite some odd predictions being made as a result of their visit to an alternative future during last week's podcast, the Dropkicks actually had a pretty good week with the Virtual Rugby, picking up a respectable 31 points, leaping up 13490 places in the process, and are now in contention to overhaul the bottom-placed individual Dropkick, Sideline Mike. The collective score wasn't quite as spectacular as noizy's 39 points, which saw him return to the top 3, where Wrongun and Dropkick Hadyn remain 1st and 2nd, respectively. The Mallet? A relative shocker this week, plummeting him down just over 25000 places...

Virtual Super 14 - Week 5 results

Whaaa? Two draws? The Canes get thumped, at Palmy, by the Stormers? Crusaders throw away a lead after the full-time hooter has gone? What is the world coming to?

Thankfully, the round of bizarre results meant just about everyone had a shocker, with Dom's relatively measly 21 points being good enough to catapault him up 32200 places on the ladder, and even a score of 16 seeing positive movement up the competition. Not that the Dropkicks got 16, we got 5, even after picking a draw for this round, just in the wrong game.

Virtual Super 14 - Week 4 results

Not a bad round of picks from the Dropkicks for week 4 of the competition, with maximum points from 4 of the 6 games played. Problem was, of course, that just about everyone playing the game had similar weeks (except Dom, who had a shocker), so not much movement on the mates leaderboard: Wrongun still leads the way, the Hood pushes past the Dropkicks lads into second, and Noizy switches places with Hadyn to become the top individual Dropkick. The Dropkicks themselves? Somewhere down the bottom there...

Virtual Super 14 - Week 3

The Dropkicks poor collective form continues, while the individual Dropkicks themselves (in bold) are only headed at the top of the table by the strongly performing Wrongun.

Virtual Super 14 - Week 1

So, here we are, the standings of the Dropkicks Mates table after one week of the Super 14. Preferring individual brilliance over solid teamwork, the individual Dropkicks seem to be saving their best picks for themselves, with Noizy out in front of the pack (with over double the points of the Dropkicks score), the Mallet not fair behind in 3rd, and Mouth of the South tied for fourth (along with Blind Hamish, supplier of our brilliant wacky story of the week for Episode 3).

Feel free to join The Dropkicks to your own mates list. And sign up to the game here, if you haven't already.
