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
11th: 1m
12th: 0.5m

Heineken Cup

Losing Quarter Finalists - £2 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £3 million each
Runners Up - £4 million
Champions - £5 million

Amlin Challenge Cup

Losing Quarter Finalists - £1 million each
Losing Semi Finalists - £2 million each
Runners Up - £3 million
Champions - £4 million

Anglo-Welsh Cup

Losing Semi Finalist - £1 million each
Runners Up - £2 million
Champions - £3 million


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.

Not sure where he'd play.

I wouldn't say he had enough gas to play in the backs and it's not easy to learn backrow.

I imagine 6 would be ideal position?

Ball carrying 6 would be the idea. They are looking at the next wc apparently.

Take him a while to learn the defending and fitness. Breakdown almost impossible to pick up quickly.


Anyone ever watched the training video of the Franks brothers on YouTube? Very crossfit but impressive. For props it is unbelievable:

If they spent more time scrummaging maybe they would not get such a tough time there.

12? Interesting much easier to defend than backrow. Good luck stopping him ball in hand.
Can't see him being a distributing kicking 12!!!

He'd need to learn how to tackle with his arms too.

He's a beast but no athlete like SBW, couldn't see him at 12.

Only pinnacle of RL players worth a risk and he is one of them. 99% of them are so poor these days and way behind fitness wise.


RL is a dying game in UK. Reintroducing relegation will help it

It's a gym monkeys sport in more cases than anything , i know a lot of skilled union guys who go to Gateshead to try it out and can't cope with the hits and fitness and a lot of league guys who struggle to have a decent impact at Union especially in the contact and become penalty machines.

Erinle possibly worst 12 to play for England. Had great hands in terms of catching and a great bit
Of
Pace. He was Leicester man of match in heino final vs Leinster but was a decent club player at best

Most league players are
So unfit compared to Union. It's a different kind of fitness granted but CV wise RL is easier.

When I played league my quads killed due
To lots
Of
Backward running to get the 10 back. You also
Play a lot more upright and hence different injuries.

When rugby union was amateur RL needed a year
To get a union player fit. These days union coaches say the opposite as
A minimum

Rugby was amateur when I started
Watching and what club you played
For influenced your chances of
Playing for England. This meant there were biased selections towards teams with more public school types like bath and Quins.


Even so I think the England tour of hell
Under SCW had the worst lineup. He benefited us by not taking front line players
And it blooded lewsey and Wilko but check how poor it was

I only really took interest post RWC 03 and even then didn't play till 06.

Watched enough to know what to do when playing which is what my big plus is according to coaches i can play the game and know what to do.

Braid has been a unreal signing. Our pack is strong after some smart signings Paterson, Mills, Braid, Seymour and Gaskell have been outstanding in the back 5. Cobilas has provided a bit more at tighthead but we are a few players away from having a good scrum. Nathan Hines is a good signing.

I'd love us to sign Laidlaw. I love the idea of having his control and Cips will more of a license to play.

Was really pleased when Wasps announced the signings of Gaskell and Miller yesterday - has Gaskell largely been used at no8 this season Steven?Wasps started to throw some money into signings again. just need a decent hooker and tighthead now!

Has Henry Thomas signed for Bath too?

Discipline poor from us. Irish back row slowing our ball down well. Shame Ryan jones is injured I'd have him at 8 now as faletau just seems bored at the moment.

Why are we kicking ball away, I'd rather keep it in hand 2nd half

I think Faletau is your only forward offering any go forward Prop, Warburton is anonymous.

Ireland backrow has great balance, has a bit of everything.

O'Mahony is immense! Sin bin coming for Phillips if he doesn't shut his mouth

I think he got the most turnovers last week?? Playing a totally different game this week, more than likely because Warburton is playing.

You need Faletau to carry because nobody else bar Hibbard in the pack offers a carrying option.

Agreed but would rather him running off 10 or 12. Time for tipuric I think!

Priestland' decision making is going backwards at the moment

He's on the back foot.

Wales generally look better with Tips at 7, they just try to squeeze Warburton into the line up. Bar tackle I still fail to see what Lydiate brings to a game.

I do like lydiate but feel that in a breakdown game then warburton and tipuric work well together. Lydiate and Roberts have gone backwards since moving to France. Priestland kicks even when we are going forward, would prefer biggar

Priestland is the boy you want at home I reckon, Biggar should be starting.

Even Halfpenny is having a shocker

I dot get why garland hasn't brought on hook or tipuric and get Phillips off too as he's lost us the ref too many times
