by GloucesterBear Fri Jun 24, 2011 4:21 pm

Whoever hasn't confirmed there transfers from this morning/early afternoon please do so.

Saves confusion.

Also change your budgets and add your new players saves confusion aswell.

by BANAFAN-AKA-HON Fri Jun 24, 2011 4:26 pm

done done done

by GloucesterBear Fri Jun 24, 2011 5:08 pm

Bit quiet at the minute but never mind.

Most people have bidded for fresh players, nothing more to do I guess.

About injuries however shall I start them asap, or first gameweek is injury free then start them?

Gameweek 1 teamsheets will be put up on Sunday, ready to hand them in by Tuesday then predictions can start Wednesday and Thursday. Results confirmed on friday?

Bathite you may need to do final scores if possible mate, as you have been doing them on ERL, my maths is totally awful.

by BANAFAN-AKA-HON Fri Jun 24, 2011 5:13 pm

Do 1st week injury free then take the injuries from then on - people will still be building teams . . . I used to do the injuries based on the team that was playing plus subs of course?

by BANAFAN-AKA-HON Fri Jun 24, 2011 6:30 pm

just worked out my starting line up NOT including the subs bench has well over 1000 caps between them!!! Smile

front row alone has 205 caps and my back row has about 287 woooooooooot woooooooooooooooooooot

by **Ozzy3213** Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:53 pm

Not sure my side will have as many caps as that as some played when internationals were not as regular an occurence as nowadays, but I think well over a 1000 pints of Ale

during pre season training should be do-able! Wink

by prop_lyd Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:58 pm

by **Ozzy3213** Fri Jun 24, 2011 9:01 pm

by BANAFAN-AKA-HON Sat Jun 25, 2011 1:24 am

hey driver - where you been?

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 1:25 am

Will random your ground again then, bit of a dump I suppose.

by Driver Sat Jun 25, 2011 1:25 am

And watching Glastonbury lol

I missed out on Ali :'(

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 1:25 am

I thought you died Driver maybe choked on a sausage or something, nice to see you to see you nice.

Please get two bids in you need them.

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 1:26 am

You have got the Madjeski Stadium.

Now be done with it's only a game.

by BANAFAN-AKA-HON Sat Jun 25, 2011 1:50 am

bang on the A4 - I played football there once . . . it will do Smile

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:44 am

Morning Bear

With the greatest of respect, am I bo ll ox having Headingly Carnegie as a home ground when people are getting places like Perpignan and Eden Park.

And what is wrong with the Sandhurst Memorial Park, it is where we have played our home games for like days now, we have history there, it is home. We will not be moved!!!

by Driver Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:47 am

Up early pete arnt we pete lol

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:56 am

I've been up since about half six mate with the youngest, wifes turn for a lay in this morning, and the Crusaders vs. Sharks game is on shortly, so will be watching that. Very Happy

by Driver Sat Jun 25, 2011 8:04 am

Was hoping to catch it myself mate but managing a 10s team all day so hoping for success there. If you can tweet me the score mate it would be appreciated

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Jun 25, 2011 8:06 am

Yeah, no worries mate.

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:43 am

Driver bid for some players mate.

Your losing out you need 25-26 by Tuesday.

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:45 am

Will give you Thomond Park Pete.

You should have realistic grounds, Leeds is a bit rubbish like Newcastle.

All stadiums are decent now, it's only a bit of fun really.

by BANAFAN-AKA-HON Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:46 am

I actually want twickenham - it's the only ground big enough to take our supporters for home games as we are fecking brilliant . . . .

:run2:

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:51 am

Steven, Luke and Pull you need to add your players from yesterday's evening bids.

Saves confusion.

Twickenham will be used as a main venue if this game goes well and reaches the play-offs and finals.

by prop_lyd Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:06 pm

Hahaha enjoy up north Hon!! I'm off to South Africa!!

by prop_lyd Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:18 pm

Just a thought: if people aren't happy with their grounds why don't we pick legendary pitches close to where we live so for example: living in Cardiff I can pick the old arms park.

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:25 pm

No it's just a bit of fun Prop nothing too serious.

Only a ground but I guess Newcastle and Leeds are unacceptable, they are a bit shabby when you put Welford Road, Madjeski, Thomond Park, and the Super 15 stadiums up against them.

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:26 pm

I have everyone's squad numbers listed down going by the foreign transfers so I know if you haven't updated.

I will be looking!!!

I don't really want Thomond Park either as i have no affinity with there at all. Grounds that I would settle for...

Ravenhill
Kings Park (Durban) aka The Shark Tank
Lancaster Park (Christchurch) aka AMI Stadium
Sardis Road
Stade Yves-du-Manoir

I'll let you decide Wink

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:20 pm

Flaming hell it's only a bit of fun.

No need to get all mardy over a ground, it's only a game.

by GloucesterBear Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:51 pm

Please can people update there squads, add there new players.

Saves confusion.

by GloucesterBear Sun Jun 26, 2011 12:43 am

Driver you need to start buying players.

Getting a bit worried that your falling behind, and teamsheets will be up tomorrow.

You only have 21 at the minute.

by GloucesterBear Sun Jun 26, 2011 1:00 pm

Week One teamsheets now open.

Please get them in by Tuesday Very Happy

by **Ozzy3213** Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:29 am

Morning Bear

Are we going to have a media page on this game, as in others, for press releases from clubs etc?

by Bathite Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:56 pm

Bear - i'll put a teamsheet in pretty pronto after you accept/reject my bid from yesterday.

yeah looks good, just not sure about flatley personally!

by LukeLovesLuka Mon Jun 27, 2011 1:40 pm

Would you play Scott Hastings at 13 and move Guscott to 12 then Bathite?

by Bathite Mon Jun 27, 2011 1:52 pm

no, don't move jerry!

i guess elton with gregan and larkham is a great combo. just personally don't like him that much. maybe some like JDV? greenwood? catt?
