Gibb looks 100%

Always weary of new posters and you can just spot the writing style(or lack of) straight away.

Maybe I'm just an old grumpy git

by Driver Thu 27 Oct 2011, 11:53 pm

by Driver Fri 28 Oct 2011, 12:26 am

Also iv shifted from back row to 10 for this weekend!!!

by prop_lyd Fri 28 Oct 2011, 12:27 am

back row to 10?! Right i've now lost all respect i had for you unless you make at least 3 lineouts and 2 scrums.

Think the old guys dozed off!!

by Driver Fri 28 Oct 2011, 12:29 am

I just run with the ball right to the Gain line when I play 10 and then pass it haha

by pullthestrings Fri 28 Oct 2011, 10:05 am

Shall we start foreigns on Monday then?

Sexton - I'll let you know if you have a place once I hear back form everyone

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 28 Oct 2011, 10:18 am

Find it a little odd that a lad from deep Munster country has a username of Sexton...... Whistle

by prop_lyd Fri 28 Oct 2011, 10:38 am

Just watching sky sports news: there was a bit on newcastle and they were talking to 5year olds at sjp: it was like mini-drivers!!

The new irish presenter however Drool

why did I not know about her sooner?!

by sexton_style Fri 28 Oct 2011, 1:55 pm

Im still about if you need somebody else?

I like this game even more as the above poster has written this.

Alright fella, yeah it was pretty sick being out here for the whole thing. Went to England QF and NZ QF, then decided to sell SF and Final tickets, which allowed me to travel the whole country. England losing to France saved me about 1500 quid I reckon. Spent it on bungee jumps, skydives and huge nights out instead! Back to work on Tuesday, bad times.

All good with you mate?

by Bathite Sat 29 Oct 2011, 8:09 am

I won't be on properly until Tuesday I reckon lads. Let me know if I miss out on anything. Wouldn't want to miss out on my foreign targets!

by pullthestrings Sat 29 Oct 2011, 10:08 am

Nice one mate, sounds amazing. I'm going travelling late sprin next year hopefully.

Pm me some foreign targets if you like.

I've got a big game today and social tonight so won't be on - please spread the word re foreigns if anyone comes on and hassle Gibbo for a link!

by Fluxy Sun 30 Oct 2011, 11:13 am

Driver - Backrow to ten, was I moved from the six to 12 - Potential England combo right there Whistle

I'm around today boys, looking to fully kick off this season like the RWC game, dominating le transfer market king

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 30 Oct 2011, 1:57 pm

I'm about today.

Any thoughts on starting a new AP game maybe in the future?

by pullthestrings Sun 30 Oct 2011, 2:12 pm

What were you thinking Pooly?

by Fluxy Sun 30 Oct 2011, 2:22 pm

I'd be interested.

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 30 Oct 2011, 2:26 pm

Similar format as AP game but starting a fresh Pull. I missed the first season and a half on there so not 100% on how they started it.

Would mean a continuing game though and a steady build up rather than constant foreign activity.

It takes a bit more thought and planning as form changes. Plus you've got youngsters coming through etc.

by Fluxy Sun 30 Oct 2011, 2:43 pm

We could do a Celtic or Top 14 ?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 30 Oct 2011, 2:46 pm

Be really hard to do as generally squad players are unknown by the majority, especially the T14.

Even Pro league would be hard, how many could name 5 players for Connacht off the top of their head

by prop_lyd Sun 30 Oct 2011, 2:51 pm

I could :p o'connor, vainikolo, muldooney, jarvis, reynecke...... Yahoo

Edit: muldoon not muldooneY!!

by Fluxy Sun 30 Oct 2011, 2:52 pm

How's about a we select our own teams?

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 30 Oct 2011, 2:57 pm

The whole idea is based around running in line with a real league to give a bit if longevity. It doesn't stop every season, you carry with the same team.

It's different to this as it's a little more realistic but understand if people like the euro kind as its quicker and takes less attention.

The idea you're talking about Flux is this but you choose your own team I think

by pullthestrings Sun 30 Oct 2011, 6:54 pm

With all this chat about a new league I guess this one's off the cards?

If so I'll something new up this week.

by Driver Sun 30 Oct 2011, 7:03 pm

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

by Fluxy Sun 30 Oct 2011, 9:40 pm

Not exactly mate, but would be good to see who is definitely committed to this, or whatever you do in the future.

by Bathite Mon 31 Oct 2011, 3:34 am

I'm committed, couldn't sleep last night as i'm still on NZ time in Korea, so was thinking about my first Hurricanes targets!

9 Weepu
10 Cruden
11 Gear
12 Nonu
13 Smith
14 Smith
15 Jane

Looking like forwards, don't you agree!!!

by Bathite Mon 31 Oct 2011, 3:35 am

OH and i'm confirmed interested and also, i thought we had already previously established sexton style was blogs #justsaying

by pullthestrings Mon 31 Oct 2011, 9:33 am

Foreigns are open

by Steven_Sharks Mon 31 Oct 2011, 9:57 am

I take it releases are open aswell?

by pullthestrings Mon 31 Oct 2011, 9:58 am

Nope - they will open in a day or two. Gives the lesser sides a chance to use their budget advantages.

by Steven_Sharks Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:20 am

That seems a little unfair.

by Steven_Sharks Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:23 am

Surely having more money is the advantage they get for having the lesser squad?

by pullthestrings Mon 31 Oct 2011, 10:34 am

It's always been like that Steven. It's even tougher for the lesser sides this year with the s15 sides in so foreigns have that little bit less quality.

by prop_lyd Tue 01 Nov 2011, 9:32 am

Pull: do we get the 10mil bonus today? Wink

also i'm guessing it's tomorrow that releases open yeah?!

by pullthestrings Tue 01 Nov 2011, 10:57 am

prop_lyd wrote:Pull: do we get the 10mil bonus today? also i'm guessing it's tomorrow that releases open yeah?!

The £10 mil bonus will be delayed til Monday, that way the starting budgets are fair and not scewed. Probably kick off the first set of fixtures then too. Releases will open Thursday 9am.

by pullthestrings Tue 01 Nov 2011, 1:09 pm

Can someone post a foreign bid for Leinster?
