Still get a playmaker 10

by Driver Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:19 pm

That's next on my list , hopefully Heathcote kicks on this year.

Which 8 could i get for £18m if we were to guess?

Need a up and coming one!

by ChequeredJersey Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:21 pm

I'm not giving you any hints as which 8s to buy!

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:21 pm

Could always do detailed predo's for 3m instead of 1.5m Wink

For the sake of a couple of mil I'd go for a proper big nation 8

by Driver Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:22 pm

What if i add the detail now?

I start writing the detail out and then relise i can't be arsed to do it 6 times over haha

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:23 pm

Can add it now no probs

Only need 2 lines

by ChequeredJersey Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:24 pm

Mate, in fair spirit I have to say this though it pains me, but I only know 2 real up and coming international class 8s (unless Beattie gets form back) not in the game and both wear dark blue and I don't want anyone to buy either of them!

by Driver Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:28 pm

Is one Rhys Ruddock?

by ChequeredJersey Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:32 pm

No I meant international colours, though Ruddock is a goo long term shout. The players to whom I refer are Pickles and Dave Denton

by Driver Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:41 pm

Done!

I'm up to £19.5m

by ChequeredJersey Mon 24 Sep 2012, 11:55 pm

Happy with Burns though, one for the future. Quite like my future 15 if we are still running in 5 years!

Wilson replaces Stevens in EPS, Vunipola is his Saxon replacement

by Driver Tue 25 Sep 2012, 2:45 pm

Wilson could of nailed the tighthead shirt a few years but but never kicked on after leaving Falcons

The Twelvetrees/Henson deal is rescinded. Way to one sided!

On the discussion on feedback etc I say if you have the time then give as much as you can. Someone might not like it but they aren't going to improve their side without it.

The questioning predictions while the match thread is still open has to stop. We are all big boys and if we aren't happy with a comment you should know to take it up privately or after results are done. If it continues expect fines or some form of punishment to come in as it can be seen as an attempt to persuade voting.

CJ on your locks I see nothing wrong with them. I think this week Horwill is the stand out in your game but there isn't an awful lot between the combos. Good start to the Heino and AI's and Ryans rating will jump again. Hes been quality for Munster the last 18 months.

i made the offer ffs! im happy with it, whats the point of me having my side if i cant do the deals i want for my side..

i couldnt care less about losing twelvetrees!

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 25 Sep 2012, 3:26 pm

Because its a terrible deal for Wasps.

Why would you lose one of the brightest EQ options at 12 for somebody who's hardly played in 4 years and doesn't get rated

by Guest Tue 25 Sep 2012, 3:29 pm

who cares if someone thinks its a terrible deal for wasps..

im the wasps coach, i made the offer if im happy with it, then surely thats it......

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 25 Sep 2012, 3:31 pm

Like Pooly says its a mad deal. Want you to get bedded into the game CF but don't want Wasps becoming uncompetitive while your doing so as you will just lose interest long term and Wasps will become an impossible sell

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 25 Sep 2012, 3:36 pm

Because if you leave I'm left with a garbage Wasps team.

It's other people who predo on the games, if we all think it's a poor deal does that not tell you something?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 25 Sep 2012, 4:24 pm

Since I have mine in now I can start nagging Very Happy

Get those predictions in lads! Cut off per usual at 8pm thumbsup

by Guest Tue 25 Sep 2012, 4:42 pm

im not gonna lose intrest, the only thing that is annoying me is every deal i make is being scrutnised.....you need to leave me to make my own deals.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 25 Sep 2012, 4:54 pm

Its all in the best interests of the league CF. If this league is to run long term (the original game this is based on is now in its fifth year!) then all the teams need to be competitive.

If you make deals like that now while getting to grips with the game your squad will get pretty bare. If your left uncompetitive compared to everyone else it will be very hard to maintain interest and Wasps will be impossible to sell to any new manager.

by Guest Tue 25 Sep 2012, 4:56 pm

ok then

by Driver Tue 25 Sep 2012, 4:58 pm

Guys a quick question about the balace of my side from 4 to 8

4.Etzebeth
5.Botha
6.Croft
7.Robshaw
8.Denton

Is that ticking all the boxes in the pack or should i start hargreaves at 5? or Brussouw in the back row.

by Guest Wed 26 Sep 2012, 3:42 pm

how much do we add to our budget for posting predo's?

by ChequeredJersey Wed 26 Sep 2012, 3:43 pm

If it was just scores, £1.5m

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 26 Sep 2012, 5:02 pm

You don't need to add anything, there's a budget page that gets updated

by Guest Wed 26 Sep 2012, 6:08 pm

guys who do you think would be a good signing for me from foreigns?

by Driver Wed 26 Sep 2012, 6:18 pm

Think you need some quality at hooker fella , Kevin Mealamu , Deon Fourie , Dimitri Szsaweski or Adriaan Strauss all good choices.

by Guest Wed 26 Sep 2012, 6:22 pm

must admit Szawreski would be a good choice.....im not sure how much cash would get someone like that though, dont wanna get ripped off!

by Driver Wed 26 Sep 2012, 6:24 pm

The two saffers are better than Dimi , he gets picked on loads cos he can't scrummage.

by Guest Wed 26 Sep 2012, 6:25 pm

either way though, is there anywhere which can give rough estimates of prices for these sorts of players?

by Driver Wed 26 Sep 2012, 6:30 pm

Standout in position - 25m +
World class player - 22 - 25m
Top Class Int - 20 - 23m
Int - 16 - 23m
Non Int - 10 - 18m

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 26 Sep 2012, 6:39 pm

LK, 10 or centre I reckon CF

by Guest Wed 26 Sep 2012, 7:21 pm

if i made an offer for a foreign though, would it get rejected for being 'a bad deal for wasps' Wink

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 26 Sep 2012, 8:12 pm

Judging by some of your recent deals.......possibly lol

by Driver Wed 26 Sep 2012, 9:06 pm

Cisse

by Fluxy Wed 26 Sep 2012, 11:35 pm

Table updated

by Guest Thu 27 Sep 2012, 11:38 am

guys why do some of the fixtures say (rugby championship) next to them,

for example this week's does...is there different rules on selection etc, for this week's game??

by Fluxy Thu 27 Sep 2012, 11:40 am

Players playing in the Rugby Championship can't be selected in your matchday squad.

by Guest Thu 27 Sep 2012, 11:41 am

what in the real life rugby championship?

by Fluxy Thu 27 Sep 2012, 11:46 am

by SirJohnnyEnglish Thu 27 Sep 2012, 11:48 am

Yeah CF. Any player selected to play internationals in an international window isn't available for the purpose of this game. Won't affect you this time as you have no Southern Hemisphere internationals but it will during the Autumn Internationals & 6 Nations

by Guest Thu 27 Sep 2012, 12:41 pm

ok cool, so i have a full side to choose from Smile

by Driver Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:13 pm

New Zealand team:

Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Daniel Carter, Aaron Smith, Tony Woodcock, Andrew Hore, Owen Franks, Luke Romano, Sam Whitelock, Liam Messam, Richie McCaw (captain), Kieran Read

Reserves: Keven Mealamu, Charlie Faumuina, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, Piri Weepu, Aaron Cruden, Ben Smith.

by Bathite Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:25 pm

No real surprises there. I'd say that's there strongest team with the exceptions of Thorn, SBW and Kaino

by Driver Thu 27 Sep 2012, 1:27 pm

Nonu is hardly a bad back up though....

by Bathite Thu 27 Sep 2012, 2:19 pm

Lads, some thoughts please. Please be constructive and don't slate my players, you know I'm a delicate flower!

Barkley has been playing some good stuff at 10 so far this year, so I'm considering give him a start and playing Hook at 12. Having a second playmaker of Steyn at 12 suits my gameplan and it's been well rated on here, so thinking about replicating it again.

10 Barkley
12 Hook
13 Laulala

or

10 Hook
12 Barkley
13 Laulala

Has Laulala played much at 12, would anyone rate him there?

by Driver Thu 27 Sep 2012, 2:43 pm

I don't rate Laulala at all fella i'd be adventourous and go

10.Barkley
12.Banahan
13.Hook

by Guest Thu 27 Sep 2012, 2:50 pm

yh i agree with driver to be honest.

by prop_lyd Thu 27 Sep 2012, 2:51 pm

Laulaula's doing well at Munster!
I prefer Barkley at 10 over Hook
