Highlanders Recapture Predator Cup Lead, Clinch Challenge Cup Playoff Spot

It was a very good week for the Highlanders. Highest total in the pool, with a 53+pt week, and a move (on the final night of the week) into first place a mere 4pts clear of the second place Bladerunners. The Bladerunners are already responding by pulling off a massive trade with the Wolves to improve their defense, center and wings. Seven weeks to go, hold on this is going to be crazy.

In the Challenge Cup, the Highlanders did beat the Personal Vendetta and finally secured themselves a playoff spot. They are currently slated to play the Bladerunners in the first round but a win over the Edge and a Shadowmen loss to the Great Whites would have the Highlanders opening up against the second place Severed Heads in the semi-finals. The Severed Heads overcame a week-long deficit in their game with the Shadowmen to move into second place.

Of note, the Wolves moved past the 700pt mark last night making them the 6th team to do so.

Going into Week 21, here are the unofficial stats:
