Euro Rugby League Season 4™ Homepage (2)

No, never in doubt! You watching pooly? Whats your thoughts? From a forwards point of view?

Great defences, bit like an AP game really. Bit loose but Crusaders pack starting to come through.

Destroying the Reds scrum, Franks is smashing Daley. Crockett dominating but hasn't binded correctly once, be hammered in the NH for that.

Crusaders pack is unreal and should start to turn the screw, Genia and Cooper not playing well.

Cooper and Genia being hugely pressurised around fringes, franks has been immense, huge tackle count and workload. Really impressed with whitelock again and thorn gets everywhere! Crockett got a half decent chance of starting some 3n games ahead of woody i reckon

Woodcock is injured. The Blues LH is some player, be close with him and Crockett. Franks best TH about imo, great scrummager and like a loose forward around the fringes.

Crockett can get targeted in the scrum I think, technique not great

HOW MANY KNOCK ONS!

Its not a cold friday night at edgeley park in november, its freaking brisbane!!!

WHAT A TRY!

Good run Iaone, can't stand the celebrations though!

C'mon Crusaders, can't stand the Reds!!!!

I'm a neutral for this game but leaning more towards the Reds - Cooper

Could I have a backer on releases please?

FdP + JMH + Woodcock
=
Youngs + Carter + Franks


What are peoples thoughts on this offer from Sam?

Not great..JMH has played 10 about 3 times in 3 years, hard to rate. FdP not been great lately either

Not to add bias, but the past few games FdP had played quite well. Not amazing I'll admit but solid and still the best SH. Wasn't to good when he came back from injury.

Disagree. He's been the 3/4th best scrum half in SA this season, Pretorious, McLeod have been stronger, Pretorious especially. Woodcock isn't the force he used to be either.

Not seeing much gain for Driver there if I'm totally honest.

Coopers been poor Driver do you not think? Poor decisions, field kicking and support.

Reds have won despite him I think, massive team effort.

Mcleod, behave

Cooper been poor because Crusaders have done their homework and pressurised the fringes, pressure on genia, who shovels it to cooper, who never takes responsibility and tidies it up, so its messier

I'm no McLeod fan believe me

Guys, just so you know, i'm away in Manchester from tomorrow till Wednesday evening so won't be too active

Anybody about?

Prop take it you weren't interested in my offer?

Yawn bit boring on here today, anybody got anything to liven things up.

Still need some new players at lock also Pietersen for sale coming back to form but just need a little bit better.

Bear with me fellas.. I'm in and out of meetings all day so not got any time for here. Will update tonight

Right then fellas, i just handed in my notice this morning, starting a new job in four weeks. From then on in, highly unlikely i will be mincing around these boards all day long, so activity will be limited to evenings only. Guess that ties in nicely with the end of the season though?

When are the European finals mate? This week?

NOTICEBOARD UPDATED

European finals will be next week mate. What's the new job?

Congrats on the new job pal

Competitor Analyst - been counting down the days with this job, hence why i have been such a nerd on here for the last month! Still happy to help out with results and such like, but i will be on less. Lunch breaks, poop breaks and evenings!!

Cheers drive!

Fixtures announced. Updating league table and statistics now.

Just need to sort my locks out.

If anybody wants Chisholm, Jack or Deacon there available.

Would help me

Morning lads. Teamsheets due.

I'm keen on doing some deals, want to change my side around..

Need locks.

Jack, Chisholm, Deacon all for sale.

Highly bored need locks.

Pull could you please check the releases mate?

Struggling to get on lads, on a promotion course and they're running me ragged! I'll try and get bits in if I can

Still after improvement at lock.

Also Roberts and Mapasua maybe for sale.

Blogs - how are you going to get an improvement at lock if you're not willing to sacrifice your best players?

Well Bekker 2 Chisholm

Palu 2 Parisse.

You gain considerably more, as you get a very decent lock in Chisholm while you get my best player for a guy who hasn't played much Rugby recently and isn't in the Australia side.

I have tried with incredible deals to give him locks. Offered 2 4 1s, habana, albacete and bekker, all of which are world class and top 10 players like easter and palu.

Exasperating work!

Have we now confirmed that he is blogs? havn't heard any denials recently

Can only go on people's ratings, which i have always done, hence all that work i did linking the old 606 top 10s!

Chisholm, Jack and Deacon don't trouble the top 20 locks and seen as weaknesses

Easter~6th (first choice for country)
Palu~8th (first choice for country)
Bekker~top 10 (first choice for any other country)
Habana~top 8? (first choice for country)

Who is to say Palu isn't in the Oz side? If fit, still best 8 by a way.

Would say for locks, Chisholm not even in the Tri Nations 30 i don't think??

Sharpe
Horwill
Timani
Simmons
Vickerman
Wykes
Mumm
Chisholm

May have forgotten others as well

I see most of what I have said as fact, based on people's ratings on here, which at the end of the day, is all that counts, like it or not!

Im sick of denials, I know what you mean so if you call me blogs you call me blogs when I know your referring to myself.

Well im selling my best player in Parisse for Easter bit of a step down from 2nd most rated 8 to about 10th, and Palu hasn't played and won't be anywhere near the Aussie team for some time now.

Bekker 4 Chisholm hardly anything between them quality wise, you obviously gain more when you want Parisse. Albacete I would do but I have said before I only want certain players for Parisse, I don't want to lose out that much on him because he is my captain, my best player, top two in his position and is part of one of a very stable back line now.

6.Thomson
7.Warburton
8.Parisse

That is much better than
6.Thomson
7.Warburton
8.Waldrom/Easter/Palu

^^ see above

Bekker to Chisholm, no difference, sorry fella your way off mate.

And of course the second back row is better, but ask yourself...is your team better overall?
