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

I personally would put out a team before you trade to get an idea of who is rated well within the league

could do with some centres

What will peoples teams be at the Autunm internationals

1.John Smit (c)
2.Joe Grey
3.James Johnstone/Chris Budgen
4.George Merrick

I hate the Autumn Internationals with a passion

1- Vunipola
2- Brits

4- Kohn
5- Matthews

9- mostly Parra, Spencer for the week of the France match
10- Hodgson
11- Goneva
12- Allen or Geraghty
13- Wyles (if he is at 15, then Tomkins)
14- Smith
15- Goode or Wyles

subs- Mullan? Buchanan, Brookes, Kruis, York, Spencer, Geraghty or Leonard, Mitchell

im off guys, i will be around at about 4pm tomorrow

Welcome to the game CF.
Im Johnny the Saints manager. I help Pooly with the running of the game.

Pooly is away with limited internet access on work for a few weeks so if you have any queries give me a shout.

As is the case with any new managers we get, transfers over the first few weeks will be monitored to make sure they are fair as it can take a while to get used to the ratings here

Welcome CF, I'm the Glos manager, basically ignore what SirJ says and never trust Bathite and you'll do fine

Anyone fancy loaning me an 8? I'll offer cash, or a loan of one of Nieto or Kepu or Mullan

Prop you cheeky sod!!

I just tell it from the heart

Cheeky sheep shagger is more like it Bathite!

He's Forest of Dean I think.....his family tree is a straight line

I'm both with a bit of somerset thrown in actually!! Heinz 57 mongrel I am!! Hence why I'm a prop

Still keen for a hooker prop?

Back in UK, look to update things over next couple of days. Sorry I missed predo's

guys i dont want the farrell deal cancelled....im very happy with it i made the offer and am very happy with it.....

i will spend this evening re-assessing my squad ironing out my XV and making deals..

Personally I rate Joseph and 12T as almost equal to Farrell on their own. Yep Farrell has played for England, but he didn't impress me at all

yh but im happy with the deal and as im the one who made the offer it should be fine..

Just think the lads are making you aware of how players are rated on here mate. Its everyone's opinions on players that dictate whether you win or lose games, so it's pretty important

yh i know mate, but for this first game that im in charge of, would just like to put out my own side and go from there

IMO the deal should be able to go through, as i made the offer myself which shows that im more than happy with it.

do we get given injuries or do we have a fully fit squad to choose from?

Not yet but there will be some.

You'll get injuries in a few rounds

Sorry CF, glad to have you on board but I need to look at the long term. If you leave in a week or so I'll be left with a harder sell as the Wasps team will be weaker.

I'd rate Farrell over both players individually but not by a large amount and certainly not too warrant JJ or 36 added.

looking to strengthen my back row now.

If you have any interest in my players let me know mate

ok pal, i'l have a look.

made another few signings should cover losing farrell as well

will try and make some more tomorrow and then get my side up tomorrow evening ish..

Be careful of throwing new boys straight in, will get marked down in predo's

Good point

i never said they will start lol..

have to say im very excited to have joined the league, ive never particpated in a rugby one before, but i love rugby union.

It's a good league mate.

The other one has been running for 5 seasons now so plan for the future!

EQ is worth a lot so be careful of losing your young EQ players, they're like gold dust as you need to start 4EQ players in the league and 7EQ in the Heineken Cup.

Can always scan the championship too for up and coming players and bid on them at any point.

ok cool, am still getting to grips, i have a day off work tomorrow, a rare day off lol, so will really try and get to grips with it all tomorrow

but im still up for deals tonight

I'm after a decent winger if anyone's got one availiable

if my tactics arent in tonight, then they will be in tomorrow evening, as am busy during the day tomorrow.

About for a deal.

It's alright mate. Don't have to be in until eight. Will be more strict this week. Back to uni today, so I'll be free to update the page tomorrow!

Driver, Robshaw/Alberts let's talk...

I want to talk Robshaw Alberts too please, with Louw, Fearns, SOB

I might be in for a bit of dealing.....

im defo up for deals..

i wanna sign a few more players before i post tactics.

I want McCaw back. And Smith. It's making me sad. Stupid new zealand.

how much cash do i have?

The page i inherited says £25m...someone said £1.5m......

would i not get cash injection if thats the case, for taking over?

You have 1.5m CF

To be fair I'll give you the option of cancelling Wasps last foreign (Luke McAlister - 22m) and having an extra bid to make your own signing if you like.

yes i would like to do that please..

can i remove him from my page and £22m to my budget?

You can mate.

You now have 1 foreign bid you can make at any point through the season and 23.5m in the bank.

brilliant thanks

Sorry the 25m thing was my fault as I failed to read which was on which line on the budgets page and got Wasps and Irish's budgets mixed up

guys who have made offers for Brown, he is avaliable best offer gets him

tactics are up..i know they're not great, but kinda in a rush, also they will get better as i get into the comp!

I think the European page & fixtures are good to go!

2hrs on a Sunday morning.......brilliant
