brownbear said: Obviously he's surprised us so far on certain events but you have to expect Loz, Hall, pritchetrT caron, z and shaw to beat him on squat Pritchet is last, loz and hall are doing worse than we would expect, perhaps they are injured and won't be a factor in the squat I'm also thinking Brant might win the squat, so not get in between the top guys | |||

LessThanLuke said: Ben_Something said:I cant see anyone beating Thor on truck pull or stones, the title will come down to his ability to squat. I don't he will lose enough points for anyone to catch him. So with a 3 point lead over Z, what are we thinking Z would need to beat Thor by on the squat to have a shot? I can't see Z winning either truck or stones, and truck he may lose a lot of points as guys like Terry, maybe Ostland becomes a factor(as well as Thor, Shaw and Burke), stones I'd gues Z is looking at 3rd Shaw is 5 points behind, but is the only man who could actually beat Thor on truck and stones (baring mistake or injury). So will it perhaps come down to Thor and Shaw? | |||

WILLSAN said: it wasnt light. 3 no repped, 4 didn't complete, 5 in the time limit. if I was putting a medley in one of my comps I would consider that a great success in terms of the spread of results. Perfect imo if all 12 finished fast, too light.....if only Z finishes, too heavy.....this, fine | |||

| Wonder what happened to Loz? Surely things like this were the reason for the weight loss | |||

JCarter123 said: Did he (Thor) get the fastest time in the qualifiers? The platforms are shorter so maybe that takes away some of his height advantage. Yeah Thor was fastest | |||

JC said: I think the squat will make it nigh on impossible for Thor to win. Could see him being 8th or so on that event Top 2 will be between Shaw and Z I'd imagine, with a big group of Terry, Thor, Burke and a few others fighting for 3rd Realistically yeah. Shame as I'd love to see Burke or Thor win it I'm sure Thors time will come, probably next year with a dead back in the final, and burke just seems to get better every year | |||

JC said: why do we always have this debate I dunno why shall we perhaps concentrate on the current guys, as it seems as though this might be quite good  I'm thinking Brant making the final might be key, as another guy who could get between Z and shaw or Thor on the squat. But hell, he might beat Z on the squat too Thor could win 4 events, but in reality Shaw, Burke, Z or Terry could win 3 of those (Thor is king of the stonez after all) | |||

hixxy1985 said:Pudz wudnt podium in this final. Its a fact I doubt a pudz at his best would get top three in a single event plus he always struggled with dbs, and those were considerably lighter than 110, I expect he'd bomb on this OH Obviously he would have changed with the events if he stuck around (unless the events would have stayed the same with him), but I don't he'd be mixing with the best, I think he was getting the maximum out of what he had to work with | |||
