One week to go - The group standings

One week to go. Top two from each group automatically qualify for the N&R Finals. The next best 7 teams will join them. The losers go in the plate.

Group 1 - The Lamb
Gooner and Roubles through, unless Tallywacker's Bukkake Marathon can produce a miracle, but Pk is one of 12 teams I reckon could make it through the back door.

Group 2 - East India
Bent it look good. Ninjas hold second by 17 points over Torres. Aaron is in the best losers group. Think Californication have to much to do.

Group 3 - New Moon
Think Soozie and Nobby look safe. Bandits are 43 behind Nobby. But Hannoi Utd and Bangers are still in with a big shout.

Group 4 - The Ship
Bollocks to Insurance through, Pete currently leads the overall title race. Towels on the bench are also definites. But Pie Munchers and Arsene have both got a chance to qualify via best runners up.

Group 5 - Cheshire Cheese
Glasgow look certs, but Elland (Glad) Back are not yet safe as the in form Pohutukawas and Sheron's ready are both on Rob's shoulder.

Group 6 - The Elephant
2Infinity & beyond and In Tatters are in. Panzo needs a big week 30 score to make the cut.

Group 7 - The Kerryman
Boys are through, Greg is one of four managers with over 1,000 points. The race for 2nd place is close though. Two points separate Guinness & eggs and Hot Pink Center, but the loser of these two should safely make the Finals via the back door. Brighton Blues also look good for qualification, which could mean four from this group of oversees N&R managers.
