Euro Rugby League Season 4™ Homepage (2)

'i suggest we chop the league down to 10 teams? saints and clermont neither in european cups, so no effect there.'

My thoughts exactly. Will have to wait until next week though.

thoughts on a draft/jumble sale of saints/clermont's players?

reckon it would be a bit of fun, inject some pace back into the game.

WEEK 13 FINAL RESULTS:

Biarritz 27 - 24 Bath
Biarritz battle to a hard fought win at home to the ever improving Bath side

Clermont 24 - 18 Toulon
Clermont get their season back on track, with a solid win at home

Tigers 29 - 18 Stade
Tigers received 7/8 wins in this game, in which the scoreline was harsh on Stade

Leinster 27 -24 Scots
In one of the biggest games of the week, the Irish province held on for the win

Saints 20 - 33 Saracens
Saracens were the only team to receive a clean sweep this week and picked up a bonus point

Ospreys 28 - 25 Toulouse
In the biggest shock of the year so far, a complacent Toulouse side came up short against a determined Ospreys side.

Two managers down

Not looking good, thought we was moving on well until Banafan comes out of the blue with his notice.

Im sticking around but if another manager goes, I will go aswell you will never ever get three managers if we go down to nine at any circumstances.

Just going to dorp the league to 10 teams mate, much easier!

Im going to try and push for a redraft of the clermont and saints players, for a bit of fun and to get everyone one here going again.

Would be most keen to allocate 1 or 2 picks to each manager. 12th place gets 1st and 11th pick, 11th place gets 2nd and 12th pick, etc etc

Thoughts?

Cutting it down to ten messes all the fixtures up and cups.

Bye's for weeks just spoils everything, might aswell start all over again if were going to go in that game

Neither team is in the cups, we are at the finals stages now!

we are 13 games into the league, absolutely no point restarting the game! i know you want to get rid of stephen donald, nice try!

Byes will just spoil the game.

Not keen on that at all sorry to say.

Not good starting a fresh, but if it means 10 committed managers it might be best.

Hodgey showed interest the other day

I'll chase him up.

Right, that's pretty much it from me. Have a good weekend all.

We'll discuss the league's future next week.

Seems some of you don't want me in this game.

Just say so and I will leave aswell.

I dont have a problem with you fella. Obviously annoyed about the legends thing, but thats another game, not going to bear grudges on this one!

Apologies for the accidental pun!

Where do I need to improve next then? Did the centre issue, thinking maybe 2nd row/wing?

Anyone for some negotiaitions?

Morning lads.

Just came on to catch up, gutted to see I lost out on Higginbotham - I was away from Friday midday so had no chance to re-bid! Steven

Updating everything now

Alright pull. Just waiting on luke's motm and then i'll announce the results for June.

can someone also give me a price for jamie cudmore in releases? cheers

Anyone interested in Ernst Joubert or Thomas Waldrom?

Im looking for a flanker in return, have too many 8s at the moment

Heineken Cup Predictions:

Just waiting on these three please lads

DRIVER
FLUXY

(cheers Luke!)

Need an openside and fly-half.

Not many deals have been done in a long time, looking to really improve in those two positions really then I will eventually have on paper a side that may win games.

Thanks

Seems it will be extremely tough to get in a 7.

Right then lads, I need a flanker, got cash and/or Joubert and Waldrom available in return. Bids on my page, cheers

To people wanting Parisse get lost!!!

Very boring day on here today

Sell me parisse then!

Right lads - thoughts on reducing the league to 10?

The way I see it there are 10 of us, but there are at most 5 on a day and I'm sure Steven and Pooly won't mind me saying they're not on as much. Most of the time it's just me and Bathite!

Is that enough to justify the running of a league? I'd like to continue but want it to be for the foreseeable future - I don't want to put a load of effort into cutting it down to 10 for people to leave in 1/2 weeks or go quiet.

Im all for cutting down to 10, but im also dead keen on drafting the available players, nfl style. It would freshen up the league, give the teams near the bottom a helping hand and add to squad sizes.

S hit, i sound just like rowley! who'd a thought it!

I'm going to be quiet till weds because I don't have internet at home till then so only at work!

I am happy to do whatever.

InTheFastLane's computer has broken so he won't be able to get online for the next few days. He's tried using his phone, but can't remember his password/username so can't log on.

Yep cut it down to 10, we will honestly struggle to get people in.

Don't know why Banafan quit as I saw him on here yesterday.

Best thing cutting this down to 10, might mess things up a little but better than starting from scratch. How many weeks are left anyway, will I get a win by then lol.

are the budgets up to date? do bath honestly have £41m?

Yes we do

on top of the cash we already had


Manager of month 2nd
Monthly bonus
£18m for Tom Wood

ah, c rap sticks!

voted for you in the motm and you repay me by stealing my target! devastating!

Gutted Bathite! One of the few times you haven't had more money than everyone else!

is it? im normally mid table on the cash stakes i thought! do like to save up before injuries though.

real spanner in the works here, not sure what to do?

this tom wood thing has really stuffed me now! ha!

aargh and its after 4, so i can't do anything today! so annoying!

Bathite you've always got money! You've timed it right by being mid table for the season, getting all the cash bonuses and then pushing for top four.

I know your game!

Slow and steady wins the race lads

Wasn't mid table by choice fellas! Had the weakest starting squad and wasn't competitive until about week 4 I think! Didn't know about the bonuses until I got one, no mention of it on the rules page! Long way to go and still very tight, as shown by ospreys beating Toulouse!

Just seen the blues reds highlights, quade cooper has unbelieeevable tekkers! I have been given a small amount of stick in the past for saying Quade is a defensive liability, but this is sensational.

He is a phenomenon.

Lol.....Steve, do you have man love for Quade Cooper?
