Welcome to Season 6 of the Aviva Premiership fantasy rugby game. Below are the rules of the game which must be adhered to. If there are any situations that arise in the course of the game which are not covered by the rules, a final decision will be made by the RFU (SJE) as to how the situation will be resolved.
Senior Squads wrote:
The maximum squad size is 40 senior players. If a team has more than 40 players in their squad then they will be fined £1 million per player over the permitted amounts per day for the first seven days. If after 7 consecutive days a team still has more than the permitted number of players then the team will be fined £2 million per player per day, and fined 1 league point per player per day for the next seven days. If after this time a team still has more than the permitted number of players in their squad, the RFU (me) will remove players at its discretion to bring them back under the permitted numbers. There will be no right of appeal to players being removed.
Be aware that all tier one international matches which are played during the season will count in the game, and players selected in the match day 23's for those matches will not be eligible to play for their clubs on that weekend, therefore you must give due consideration to the make-up of your squad.
Academy Rules wrote:
Each team will be allowed to have an academy squad of 20 players. Players who are in the academy must be born on or after 1st September 1991.
Any player, who is at any Premiership club in real life, either in their senior, academy or AASE squads, can be bid for on the domestic bidding page. Players who are at your own club in real life and are coming through the academy system must be bid for if you want them in your own academy.
Transfers wrote:
- Domestic (other AP Teams)
Each team has a budget to use in the purchase of players. Domestic transfers between AP clubs, regardless of nationality of player, should be negotiated between the respective managers, and then confirmed on the Domestic Transfer Confirmation Page.- Domestic (Championship and below)
Each team may during the season purchase no more than 5 players from the Championship or the National Leagues. These players must be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page, and each bid will be considered by me on its own merits before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.- Foreign
To make a foreign transfer (i.e. from any club outside of the AP, regardless of whether the player is English) a bid should be made on the Foreign Transfers Page, which will be considered by me against the posted guidelines for purchase prices before being accepted or rejected. No bid will be accepted until a minimum of 24 hours has elapsed from the time the bid was made, in order to afford other managers the opportunity to make a counter bid.
There will be a summer foreign transfer window, which will run as follows.
Structured Window
No cash will be used and each team will get effectively free transfers by way of a draft, which will run 12th, 11th, 10th …… 1st, 12th, 11th,10th… 1st place side. This will run from 10th June 2013 until all teams have had their two picks.
Open Window
Open transfer window, teams have unlimited bids provided they have the financial resources to cover them. Teams may only bid for one player at a time.
Player Releases wrote:
Managers may choose to release players from their clubs, for which they will be offered compensation
Compensation will be paid as follows
£2 million – current international (must have played international rugby in the previous 12 months)
£1.5 million – former international
£1m – top flight experience
£0.5m – other
All released players will be deemed to have joined a Championship side and can be bid for on the Domestic Transfer Bidding page.
Retirements wrote:
There will be no compensation for retiring players. Should a player who retires decide to come out of retirement and play again, then he will automatically go back to the club who he was playing for in the game when he retired.
Fixtures wrote:
There will be 22 Aviva Premiership games per season, plus the play offs. There will also be Heineken Cup, Amlin Challenge Cup and Anglo Welsh Cup matches. These games will take place once a week. A match thread will be put up every Monday. Home teams must be named by midnight on Tuesday. Away teams must be named by midnight on Wednesday. Both teams must provide tactics by midnight on Thursday. Predictions will be open from 00:01 hours on Friday and remain open until 20:00 hours on Saturday. Managers will post the scores that they think will happen from these games (apart from games in which they are involved). An average of all predictions will be taken, and then 0.5 points added to each teams score for each prediction that had them as the winner, and that will then be the final score.
Managers are asked to provide detail as to why they have predicted a result. To be considered a descriptive prediction this must be a full 3 lines long when entered into the text box. If you are not providing a descriptive prediction you will be restricted to predicting a 1 point win either way.
Teams wrote:
When naming your team, not only should you put the starting XV and replacements, but also tactics that your team will employ. Results will be affected by the tactics described.
In addition, each team must have the following:-
At least 10 England qualified players in your match day 23, and at least 4 of those must be in your starting XV.
At least 2 props and 1 hooker on the bench.
All players must be eligible (not injured or banned).
Failure to comply with these rules will result in forfeiting the match and a 1 league point deduction.
If you fail to submit a team for a match, then the other team will be automatically awarded a 30-0 bonus point win. If both teams fail to submit a team, then it will be scored as a 0-0 draw.
Injuries and Suspensions wrote:
Injuries in this game do NOT reflect real life, they will be generated by me.
Players banned in real life will be ineligible for selection in this game for the duration of the ban.
Inclusion of injured/banned players will result in them being replaced by players on the bench, and the bench not having eight players, which may result in punishment if it concerns the front-row.
Punishment for fielding an ineligible player will be loss of one match point for a first offence, two for a second offence and so on.
Financial Rewards wrote:
There will be no rewards for the result of an individual match, instead the managers will receive cash for predicting.
£2m for descriptive predictions
£0.25m for scores on the doors predictions
If you fail to predict without first advising me that you are unable to do so that week, you will be fined £1m for a first offence, £2m for a second offence, £3m for a third offence etc.
AP finishing positions.
Champions: 8m
Runners Up: 6m
Playoff Semi Finalist Losers: 5m
5th: 4m
6th: 3.5m
7th: 3m
8th: 2.5m
9th: 2m
10th: 1.5m

If your budgets falls below minus £10 million for any reason, the administrators (ozzy3213) will step in and players from within your squad will be released for the relevant financial compensation in order to bring your budget back above minus £10 million.

Tomkins appears to be confirming what I had suspected in that he is a really top club level player, but doesn't have that spark you need on the international stage.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
spot on with Tomkins. Lacks pace, or a step to be a top class 13. he is only a stop gap anyway whilst Tuilagi is injured I imagine. Twelvetrees showed first half he can be a very good 12. id persist with him at 12 as him and tuilagi is a good combo on paper. id stick with tomkins for NZ game but would of liked to see burrell get a go as he is a close to Tuilagi you can get.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
The rugby blogs take on Rory Best's game at the weekend
2. Rory Best: 9
I can’t imagine a more humble player, he won’t accept any of the praise headed his direction but Rory Best was outstanding; a stunning performance from the hooker. Asides from an almost faultless set piece – it was nice to see a hooker that can actually hook the ball – Best won or was involved in countless turnovers, and at times you could have mistaken that number 2 on his back for a 7. After coming in for criticism on the Lions tour, he played as though he had a point to prove. Well, he did that and more.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
You've got Corbs back now Pete, he's been released due to injury.
Going to be exactly the same backline looking at who he's kept. Can't see what benefit there is of having Goode on the bench when we will have Foden and Brown playing - is Trinder injured?

Yeah, not going to loan out Corbs though.
I am looking at letting either Alexander or Castrogiovanni go though, so if anyone is looking for an international prop, I am open to doing a deal.

its stupid. if they didnt have the Armitages playing for them I'd hate them!
Hopefully they both leave this year anyway and come back home. Finally we have money to spend again and can actually make full use of the salary cap.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
if its confirmed, which im pretty sure it will be soon, Tom Court joining Irish next season.
Not the greatest scrummager but still a decent enough player and certainly an upgrade on what we currently have in Yapp and Parr.

Decent signing Nick. Struggled a little with the new laws. But been a great servant to Ulster and is a decent all rounder.
Must see his Ireland days over with Healy, Kilcoyne & McGrath ahead of him so good luck to him in looking for a better payday.

I like Court, top signing. Undervalued scrummager but needs a decent TH to work with.
Building well Irish, more than I can say for Falcons who seem reluctant to spend the cash. Hoping for a few astute signings from Richards, a good 10, centre and winger wouldn't go amiss.

Gutted about that Luke. Wanted him back! Definitely have Delon back too. Long shot but it could happen. He said when he left that he wasnt ruling out a return.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
Of that England team I'd say that only Cole, Hartley and Wood would be in with a shot of of getting into the All Blacks team.
Gutted that Corbs isn't fit as think we could have really taken the game to them in the front five, by 2015 I think we could have one of the best packs in rugby and some good depth too. Be great if Lawes and Launchbury work.
Dreading Savea against Ashton and Smith against Tomkins on Saturday!

With the frequency with which Corbisiero gets injured, I wouldn't be surprised to see him have to retire in the next few years. That would be a real shame as he is one of the very few genuinely world class players we have.

Worrying lack of depth at 9 and 10. With care, Burns and Youngs losing form and not developing as expected we look exposed there.
God help us if Farrell is injured and we have to play flood.
This side is markedly worse than the one that beat the Ab's last year. I am going to the game on Saturday and am not hopeful.
I said the same last year and witnessed one of the best performances I have ever seen at twickenham though so there is always hope

Our forwards will scrap it out, but we have nowhere near enough threat in the backline to unduly worry the All Blacks.

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
Agree with that Pete. Feel sorry for Farrell with that centre pairing.
If we had Corbs we could really go after franks and there scrum which has been really shaky.
Woodcock and Mealamu are on there way down also so we could still get the nudge on and use the scrum as a weapon. However they can score of limited ball if needed and their defence is fantastic. Mccaw was epic in defence in the second half last week.
Wonder if we will see Ardie Savea get a bench spot on this tour. He was taken as the apprentice on this tour and is meant to be impressing in training to a ridiculous level. Not sure what there rule is re the "apprentice " they take with them

Think he's like a travelling reserve. Ie trains with squad to save someone flying up from NZ.
See Tiamia is on bench for Aus this week. Strange with him being in France.

He is the apprentice driver. All kiwi teams used to do it. They pick an outstanding young player who they think will be an all black and expose them to the environment early so they can experience it.
SCW did it with nick duncombe who died
And a few
Others.
Sa introduced the idea to their team a couple of years ago and took kolosi kitshoof Arno Botha and Malherbe on the trip over here 2 years ago. 3
Out of those have now played for SA.

However was just reading that Michael Jones impressed the

Re: Season 6 Homepage I
Michael Jones seen as the 3rd greatest all
Black behind Colin meads and Fitzpatrick.
Think Fitzpatrick and jones would be in any greatest 15
Of all time by quite a distance.
Fitzy had everything and was tough as nails.
Having Bismarck and Strauss for SA is unreal. Both fantastic but Bizmarck is a one off. Absolute force of nature

Surprised if they keep Tomkins after this AI. Put him back in Saxons and call Eastmond up!
