WRL Season 5 - Homepage

Saints it is then.

What do we make of these:

1. Driver - Crusaders - £0
2. Inthefastlane - Waratars- £20 mil
3. Pooly - Reds - £10 mil
4. Fluxy - Biarritz Olympique - £75 mil
5. Bathite - Hurricanes - £35 mil
6. Prop_Lyd - Sharks - £50 mil
7. LukeLovesLuka - Leinster - £45 mil
8. Steven_Sharks - Toulouse - £25 mil
9. LDCPete - Leicester Tigers - £40 mil
10. Pullthestrings - Northampton Saints - £80 mil

Northampton more than Biarritz?

Tah's and reds need more imo, similar to Toulouse

Pretty good tho

5nh and 5 sh do i feel a competition coming along?!

Not convinced there is £40m difference between the Tigers and Saints either.

Way too much for Saints Pull! Like yr style tho

Think the 'canes is far too low as well, I don't have a pack! finished about 8th last year didn't they? I went for them ahead of better squads assuming some cash and a challenge

Why do the Reds and Tars need more? The Reds have just won the s15, the Tars have a world class back line.. If the managers want to buy foreigns they'll have to raise cash. Fair?

1. Driver - Crusaders - £0
2. Inthefastlane - Waratars- £20 mil
3. Pooly - Reds - £10 mil
4. Fluxy - Biarritz Olympique - £75 mil
5. Bathite - Hurricanes - £45 mil
6. Prop_Lyd - Sharks - £50 mil
7. LukeLovesLuka - Leinster - £45 mil
8. Steven_Sharks - Toulouse - £25 mil
9. LDCPete - Leicester Tigers - £40 mil
10. Pullthestrings - Northampton Saints - £65 mil

One all links are in I'd like someone to 'police' the squads to make sure they are as at the time that the side finished their domestic season.

Any volunteers?

I think I have mine right, but if there are any there who shouldn't be, or any I have missed out, do let me know

Tell you what, put them in order, lowest budget first and I'll have a look and get back to you, ok?

Driver - Crusaders - £0 mil
Pooly - Reds - £10 mil

Reds - 20m
Waratah's - 30m

Sorted!

Luke: sob and heaslip are no longer in the squad....they moved to the sharks last april

not sorted, think its a fair way out to be honest. Off the top of my head, i think something like this.

Crusaders	0
Toulouse	15
Reds	20
Waratahs	25
Tigers	40
Leinster	45
Sharks	55
Saints	60
Hurricanes	60
BO	70

I'd say the sharks were weaker than canes.

There's a huge amount of bias in there Bathite. You have Nonu and Smith, the best in the world in their positions. Saints have no best in the world. Sharks certainly have no best in the world.

Maybe and probably, was rushed. Backs are all well and good, but there are no forawrds except vito. Sharks have BDP Beast JDP, Alberts, Smit Lambie etc.



Saints have Foden Ashton Tiny Hartley Mujati, all WC

Er, the Sharks have Bismarck du Plessis.

Who do Tigers have that is the best in the world???

36?

oh no, what have we started. i don't think its about having best in the world in positions, its about starting xvs and squads and in that case, tigers and saints are very strong. sharks and canes have more WC players, but a much bigger variation in quality. for every BDP and Nonu, there is a hargreaves or lilo starting!



on balance, chuter and day are well hidden by awesome props and lawes.



get my drift?

Yea a little too much for Cains mate.

Crusaders 0
Toulouse 15
Reds 20
Waratahs 25
Tigers 40
Leinster 40
Sharks 50
Hurricanes 50
Saints 70
BO 70

I'm happy with that pooly

fair enough guys, i trust you lot, didn't mean to ramp mine up so much, just thought toulouse needed less and that leinster and sharks would be slightly lower then canes, based on their performances and positions in their league. pooly's looks about right, perhaps saints down a touch,

so hectic at work lads, trying to keep up, apologies

I would say it's better to have a few WC players and the rest naff all than to have no world class players but an all round good squad.

You can just buy players to slot in if you have WC players, you have to buy a whole new team if you have a 'good' squad!

Budgets updated

Pooly got what he wanted after all, don't want him getting grumpy!

I think Saints at 70m is very fair. Their backline bar Ashton/Foden is pretty average.

Whether Original's all round!!

I want 50m!!!!!

Pete's older than me

Need links from me and Steven and then we can kick off.

Feck off Pooly!

33 on Thursday Pete.....bad times

To make things worse Mrs is making me a birthday meal....

£70m!?

20 in November , just saying lol

21 next year...

Will be nearer to 40 than 30 on my next birthday!!!

So pete's Steptoe and pooly's Harold is it?

How are Leinster getting a higher budget than Tahs

Healy, SOB, Heaslip, Sexton, BOD (world class)
Ross, Hines, Reddan, Darcy, Nacewas, Kearney (class)

TPN, Burgess, Barnes, Beale, Mitchell (world class)
Robinson, Turner, Palu (class)

Ross D'arcy Kearney Reddan had no rating on here last season, would expect the same again, surely. Maybe Ross up a bit and Hines down to even it out.

I'd have it as:

SOB, Heaslip, BOD (world class)
Healy, Sexton, Nacewa, Kearney (class)

Burgess, Barnes, Beale, Mitchell (world class)
TPN, Robinson, Turner, Palu (class)

Reds open for business!!!

Domestics not open yet

In theory....can sound out some deal I guess

17 in November btw lads

Sharks after 2nd rows, scrum half, fly half, centre and full back
