Waiting List
1. pullthestrings
2. Bathite

May be wrong about Quins.

If that Quins side wins and Toulouse and my side unlikely to even get a bonus point then I'll be p issed

Just checked the score, Jesus!

Just watching now, think Robshaw is nailing an England shirt. Quins defence fantastic

Not sure he has a shirt nailed but I think he will be in the squad. I think it will be Croft, Wood, Easter with Robshaw off the bench.

I think Robshaw is nailed on and a toss up between Wood and Croft for other flank. Cant ignore his form and Lancaster knows his game inside out.

Belting game tho!

Monye for England left wing? Not many playing better abd has great defence

England for 6N

1. Corbisiero
2. Hartley
3. Cole
4. Garvey
5. Lawes
6. Robshaw
7. Wood (c)
8. Waldroum

9. Youngs
10. Flood
11. Monye
12. Barritt
13. Tuilagi
14. Ashton
15. Foden

Monye hasn't been playing though. Came back from injury last week.

I would like to see Garvey involved if he keeps playing well, suspect it will be Deacon though. I don't expect to see huge chages though they may be worthwile.

That side would get dominated in the lineout pooly.

Need Croft in there I think.

I think Wood is pretty solid in the lineout, depends if Garvey could lead?!?! Deacon would be obvious choice if not.

Garvey couldn't lead a international lineout I don't think.

Unbelievable win.

Missed the last 20mins but some result Quins!

That group is now right in the balance. Toulouse top with 13, Quins have 12 and Gloucester 9. Quins need to beat Gloucester then hope Gloucester can do Toulouse at Kingsholm (assuming that both Toulouse and Quins take 5 from Connacht)

Great game how good was robson. Carried, lineout and incredible in defence. Never mac or medard fan and they showed their flakiness.

Pica moles made a difference

Amazing how many youngsters quins played and how Many they had missing. Who got man of match ?! So Many candidates

Quins were missing Marler, Kohn, Faasavalu, Guest, Dickson, JTH, Lowe and maybe others I've missed today. Not all would have started but still a lot of good players.

I was flicking on and off but I'd have given MoM to Hopper or Brown, perhaps Robson.

Brown or Evans motm for me

Wow just saw the Quins result!

Great game too Chris. So many held their hand up for England selection like Robshaw, Care, Monye, Robson, Brown etc

Well worth a watch

Out of curiosity

If we started this game again what team would you want? I'd go with Gloucester my self

hmmm that's a good question. I think I'd go with Quins tbh

I thought about Quins but Gloucester have some quality players on paper

Wood
Dwadaki
Harden
Hamilton
Brown
Strocks
Qera
Narraway

Lawson
Burns
JSD
Tindall
Trinder
Sharples
May

Saints

Would anybody be up for starting a separate new AP?

I would be if it was a hybrid of this game and euro league. (ie not all world class teams straight away but not in such detail as this game)

Also would want it to go longer than one season and then reset.

I'd be interested. Could try and get Pull to set one up when the WRL finishes

I've asked him before. I'd like the same as this but just from the start, love to mould my own team right from the off.

Yeah would be good to mould our own teams.....

I'd have to take Glos too or take a punt and go with Exeter

Yeh there can't be many who had the teams from the start. It'd be nice to be able to mould your own side like you said.

Id definately be up for it. Be great to mould a team. Wouldnt mind getting my hands on Saints

I'd consider running something that could run inline with this one. Same format but we could possibly do predo's Sunday/Monday and keep tactics to say a para and 10 or so key points.

Who've we got then?

That leaves:

Bath
Saracens - Luke
Leicester - Pooly
Sale - Steve
Saints - Johnny
Gloucester
Newcastle
Worcester
Exeter - Prop
Irish
Wasps
Harlequins - Driver

I'm a possibly, depends with other leagues and how busy i am, plus i amy be on the move early next year!

I would actually take Sale I think. Have a bit of a change.

Best to do a draw for teams...?

I'd be happy to just pick Luke tbh, see how it goes

I'd be interested in Sarries then.

Put me down as Quins Pooly

Would anyone else for here be interested?

I think Pete might fancy Irish and ITFL would probably want to be involved I think. I doubt Matt/Chris would.......Nick?

I reckon Pull and Bathite would be

Hi Pooly you are right. Not enough time in the Day for me to do another. I had Gloucester almost from the start as the lad who started this league had them and then gave up gloucester so he could actually manage the league

Thats fair enough mate, I know you and Chris struggle to get on as much as others.

If you got the managers for this when would you be looking to get going Pooly? Part of the attraction to this game is the real life game link up. Maybe have a short season and then get in line with the real life season for next year?

Yea I'd maybe look to do a quick half a season, just get a feel for if people want to carry on.

If we got it going just take the last 10/11 league fixtures as they are and work from there? Leave out Europe/AW and do a small cup or something to keep interest on the weeks off and then look to pick up the real life games from next season. Same rules as this one i.e. Squad limits, budgets, EQ players. Might be worth doing step budgets to start off with same as the WRL. Think when this game started everyone had the same budget? It would help level the sides out to start off with

I'd definatley have to have a think about budgets and I'd probably loosen the EQ rule a little to make the lesser sides more attractive. So far:

Bath - Bathite?
Saracens - Luke
Leicester - Pooly
Sale - Steve
Saints - Johnny
Gloucester - Prop?
Newcastle
Worcester
Exeter - Prop?
Irish - Pull
Wasps
Harlequins - Driver

We could just do a half season (one more AP game till everyone has played each other once).

Also I think that Worcester,Newcasle, Sale, Exeter and maybe Wasps would need at least triple the budget of Leicester, Saints and Sarries to make it competitive.

Potentially interested. Depends on the rules, i would scrap the 5 English starters and also wouldn't want too many foreign stars like carter etc as it's less realistic.

I'd probably go back to the 10EQ in matchday squad Nick/Steve.

I'll havd a look at budgets but can forsee Tigers/Sarries having enough for possibly one and Worcester/Newcastle a fair few more.

Possibly Tigers 20m
Newcastle 100m

Im a fan of the 5 EQ rule keeps a hint of realism to the league as it stops us playing a who's who of world rugby. Would have no EQ limits for European games though and would limit the number of foreign signings. 3-5 in the first season and then 1 a season and 2 pre season. The longer we keep a good foreign base the longer the game can run. If we have the foreigns at 3 in the first year Tigers etc should have enough for 1-2 signings and Worcester/Newcastle enough for all 3. Keep as a prediction bonus rather then a match win bonus keeps things alot more even
