No USERNET in the Macquarie fifth, so just as well you were late to see it. Something has gone a bit awry with your round eight answer, by the way -- it evaluates to 355 as written, or 385 if you meant 7*(50 + 5).
1. TAMPONS 2. HASSIUM 3. 787 = 8*(100 - 1) - 5 4. [invalid -- MEDICATOR] I had the valid DEMOCRAT, and was tossing up between risking MEDICATOR or DECIMATOR. I jumped the wrong way -- DECIMATOR is valid. 5. ENURESIS (found RETINUES after time) 6. 675 = (50 + 5 - 6/6)*100/8 7. TERATOID (also IDOLATER) 8. 375 = 7*(50 + 3) + 4 9. [no answer, but it is EASTERNER]
Thanks Geoff. I meant it with the brackets but was still an error.
I have never heard of HASSIUM, ENURESIS and TERATOID and if I did, I doubt I would ever 'see' them in the jumbled letters. And that numbers solution to round 6 is mind blowing. Amazing game Geoff as usual.
Thanks, Mike! I learned ENURESIS and TERATOID during the course of this blog; sometimes the words stick! Round six started with 50*100/8 to get to 625, and then was happily adjustable. After time I managed to save a number with 675 = 6*6*(100 + 50)/8.

STAMPED
SWIMS
8*(100-1)-5=787
ROAMED
SUNSET and USERNETS? after time
6*(100+5+6)+8=674 (1 off and went over)
TAILORED
7*50+5=375
