ACADEMY INCREASED TO 20

WAITING LIST:
1. HERSH

Sell me Cane on the cheap and i'll tell you ;-)

Probs 13 still, but looked decent at 12 for saints so far.

Either a hooker, or another second row, whilst your young'uns kick on. Other than that you're looking at getting in world class to replace top class players.

I know what I'm looking for... A new 8, maybe a lock, a back up 13

I'd get a Hooker, Prop

I think a 7 and/or a winger/fullback for me.

Prop I could have a hooker for you?

I'm after a new all action fly half and a new 5.

Etz and Hargreaves would be good, when available Drive. I think an 8 would be more important, Alberts just doesn't quite fit in there IMO.

I'v deffo got a few 8s lined up. Who do people see as being the best one left?

Falatau , Denton , Heaslip , Pickles , Spies and Palu?

JMF?

Forgot about him.....


Lakafia and Ryan Jones as well.


How do people rate RJ these days?

I reckon he has recaptured his form. Good player, best at 8 in my opinion. He can influence play a bit more, but would offer good cover.

But a backrow of

6. Robshaw
7. Brussow
8. JMF

would be impressive!

With Alberts from the bench to filp stuff up!

Definitely! Or even Alberts for Brussow, for more carrying and physicality.

1.Corbs
2.Smit
3.JJ
4.Etz
5.Alberts
6.Robshaw
7.Brussouw
8.Falatau


Sheer Power!!!!

Pickles in at 8, Romano for Etz, blimey!

Think i might be onto something here....

That would be quite scary ball in hand Driver but the lineout would be picked apart with no leader.

I'd quite fancy a back row of 6. Alberts 7. Robshaw 8. 1 of Falatau/JMF
Great ball carrying, they would get through plenty of work and you have the options to rotate around then. Brussow not in the best of form so you wouldn't have to always rely on him. Falatau gives you a good SH/NH balance as well so your not completly hit at 6N/RC time

But come the AIs you'd be royally screwdrivered

Everyone is screwed come the AIs Fluxy
Its about getting that balance right for the 6N/RC so your not completly f***ed in one window

I might be alright I reckon. Just an injury or two might make me very competitive!

Guys, if my 6 is Brown and 7 is McCaw, what do you think I should look for from my shiny new 8?

And what do people think of my second row of Ryan, Kohn with Matthews or Kruis benching?

Mathews if you need line out support, for physicality of the bench. I like that combo, might lack a line out leader in the pack however?

I'm going to repeat myself here, but Lobbe would be good. Calls a good line out I believe? And carries well.

Stop talking about Lobbe!!! ssh

Renewed my man crush now he's back on the main stage

Thanks. I'm hoping Ryan gets some chances to lineout lead this season

Guys on the Wasps situation I've put an advertisement up on the club rugby board. If anyone comes along and I'm not around will you answer any questions they may have please

I tell them they have to start off by selling at least 5 players, right?

Yeah but they are only allowed to deal with Saints for the first month

Posted in the pub thread as well. If you can think of anyone who might be interested give them a small push this way as it would be good to have the full set again

Rowley?

As in Rowley who kicked off last time when he got in here and ruined Pulls ERL/WRL so many times before? He's banned from the site I think after his last fiasco

Haha! Yep, that's the fella, he had many pseudonyms, top class bloke!

That guy was always up for the craic!! Wasn't he sexton-style too?!

He was indeed Prop

He had another leicester style one too I think! And a Glos one!!

hey...got a PM about taking part in this, wasps are apparently avaliable...im intrested

Hi CF


All you need to do is make a new topic on this section called 'London Wasps' and copy the players from the current Wasps page to yours.

Have a quick look into the rules and anything your stuck on Pooly , SJE or myself can usually clear it up.


Welcome to the game

ok pal will do that in a bit

Hey CF, I'm ChequeredJersey, the bloke who PMed you.

Basically I'm the newest on here so hopefully one of the others can fill you in better but in essence...

We each have a squad and use these to play out a fantasy Aviva Premiership Season with European matches too. Your list of players is available under GeordieFalcon's Wasps page, but someone will help you set your own page up with those players so you can change it at will.

Each week we play the matches that our Real Life team equivalents play. So these week I am playing (as Saracens) againstExeter at Exeter. To do this, we will all select our playing 15 plus subs. 8 must be English Qualified and 4 must start. You can also write some tactics to indicate how your team will play, which helps us in the next step. Once the squads are all in, we all predict the scores for each other's matches using the tactics and squads to decide who we think would win if those squads played in real life. The form of players on here is dictated by how they are playing in real life. If you predict, as a reward for contributing to the league, you get transfer money and several times a season we can bid on foreign players to improve our squads. At any time we can trade with other clubs on the site.

We get money dependent on our league position at the end to improve our team. That's the basics I think, please ask any questions you have and SirJohnnyEnglish will explain everything better!

ok cool sounds good am happy to be a part of it

during the day time i wont be online till around 4pm most days but am usually online in the evenings

Doesn't matter, deadlines are spread over several days (generally saturday for teamsheets and tuesday for predictions) so you don't have to be on all day, just fairly regularly through the week.

ok will do....

will put my team page up now

Am always up for doing deals, if they are the right deals

It's fair enough fella,

I don't tend to get on till about 6pm anyways as most lads do.


I think it would be handy for all managers to introduce our selves to CF and vice verse to make him feel a bit more welcome.

we are at round 4 later this week, so Wasps will be playing Gloucester. I believe the teamsheet would be for Saturday but there's no rush as you are new

jeez i need to sign some players then, or put out a rough first side and assess from there maybe?
