Match Of The Week - MIB vs BNR
Well The Match of the Week is obviously Last season's Champs against this season's threat the the crown. Of course I am talking about Break and Run vs Money In The Bank.
Key Signings
Break And Run
Stu (zl_stu_lz)
Jase (luckyslam4)
Jordy (xlx_skill_xlx)
Matt (g.rinch31)
Money In The Bank
Conor B (BLT Winner(reel_em_ln))
Pommy (sir.pommington)
Indy (indiana_elite)
Si (xxl_machine_lxx(not signed up yet but i have spoke to him and he will be!))
This is MOTW by a mile and more. BNR are the champions and have really beefed up their squad for their defense of the title this season. The players they have managed to pick up in the off-season have been awesome! Stu chose BNR over PFN, that is huge, he is a match winner straight off, the only thing you have to ask is being in the UK can he stay to play the Clinch/Saves or will he play early so he can get an early night? I think he will play early in the beginning but as things get heavy into the season he will stay to play the significant matches.
You have the Two ex PLer's on the list in Jase and Matt. Jase is a good player and I feel that with not having to Captain this season he will be a lot more relaxed and I think we will see the best of Jase this season.
Matt is again a great player and will be needed this season big style if BNR are to win the MLP World Series for the second time in 2 seasons. He can run and snooker which is vital for this season of MLP. He will be a big player this season, but not as big as Jordy!
Jordy is one of them guys that will break and run you or defeat you in a snooker match. If Jordy is at his best like he was in the WPC World Cup, that Cubby commentated on then he will be the player Dina can rely on come the big matches this season.
BNR have a great chance to win this week but they play a very determined MIB team led by the inspirational Captain Pommy! Pommy is a great captain because he leads from the front, he ain't scared to change it around in the order and most of all for a Captain wins the vast majority of his matches in ANY IL he captains in!
Conor B won the BLT this week and will be one player I see pommy using a lot this season! He runs tables very well and has a lot to offer a debut team with very strong players. If he plays like he did in the BLT then expect big things from this guy.
Indy is another player to move over to MIB. I thought originally he was going to be playing for PFN this season but that all ended when MIB snapped him up. Indy in form is a very dangerous player, but catch him on a bad day then even I can beat him! I think he will have a great season though and will be important in this match.
Lastly Si who hasn't joined up yet but is going to apparently will join the MIB contingent later today in time for this match up. He will take a tiny chance of a run and finish it! And he will also play some sublime snookers if needed. All in all this is going to be a cracker!
So that is a look at the players now what does the match have in store for us tonight. Looking at the players each team have available BNR have the stronger players but MIB have the better Captain in my view. Players other than the 4 named need to show up and be counted, Ross for BNR is usually tipped to have a decent season but usually doesn't. Fringe players like the Captain Dina when she plays needs to produce a couple of big wins. Josh needs to stand up and be counted and actually finish the season, as it is an 18 week season, he sometimes gets bored and leaves so we will see. MIB wont have that problem for me but the question is when pommy has to trust a 'regular' from MIB instead of one of his superstars can they stand up and be counted? All of these will make for a interesting match up in which I think BNR will just take it 4-3.
