Congrats to the Winners!!

Best Manager
I'm torn between Fluxy (for his good level of activity and high amount of completed transfers), Pull (for organising everything), 207 (miracle job on the Scots, but a tricky dealer!)

Most Improved Manager
Based on the 1 season I have known you, Prop and Driver's side have got better and better as the season went on

Worst Manager: Blogs/Rowley/GlosBear

Best Signing
Kieran Read - has been immense this season, will be much more expensive next year I would imagine

Worst Signing
Alby Mathewson. Not thats he is a terrible player, but there were so many other SH options available - Cowan and Weepu for starters!

Strangest Signing
James Gaskell by me! Didn't realise the standard was int level, thought he would be a good bargain, but he is way below par

Most Improved Team
Scots

Best Overall Team
Toulouse (Best starting team by miles though)

Best 1-3
Sarries - Tonga - BDP - Franks

Best 4-5
Ospreys - Matfield - Sharpe

Best 6-8
I seem to remember Biarritz having a blinding one about 3/4 weeks ago something like Kaino - McCaw/Broussow - Parrisse

Best 9-10
Toulouse - Genia - Carter

Best 11-15
Sarries - Gear - Nonu - Fourie - Mitchell - Toeava

Best manager
Will go 1-2-3 for this
3rd Steven always make a good squad but stops paying attention. I honestly think if he had of paid attention he would be so close to Toulouse

2nd Bathite
All the help he has provided to Pull has been brilliant and he has made his team into a real top one.

1st Pooly
He did have the best starting squad but that usually doesn't mean much in this game. He only lost once this season which is a real achievement.

Most improved: Fluxy

Worst manager: Gotta say Blogs haven't I really.

Best signing: JOC - Saints...won them a few games at the start imo

Worst signing: James Gaskell at that point in the season was a bit mental

Strangest signing: Charlie Sharples when other were available

Most improved team: Sarries

Best 1-3: Tonga - BDP - Franks
best 4-5: Sharpe - Matfield
Best 6-8: Smith - Read - Brussow
Best 9-10: Genia - Carter
Best 11-15: Habana - SBW - Freaun - Bowe - JOC

Best Manager - Between Bathite and Pooly. But siding with Bathite because he's done so well in his inugural season.

Most Improved Manager - InTheFastLane was more willing to dabble in trasfers than recent seasons, which helped push his Highlanders team up the table

Worst Manager: Blogs/Rowley/GlosBear

Best Signing - I'm going to go with JOC at Northampton at the beginning of the season - terrific back-three.

Worst Signing - Gaskell, Any Blogs signing - Somerville?

Strangest Signing - Gaskell again, Sharples - George Ford anyone?

I had to this season, last year my team could be created through what I already had and foreigns this year I couldn't complete the team like that

Best Manager - Fastlane/Bathite - done wonders with 2 average teams. To be in top 4 come playoffs is cracking.

Most Improved Manager - Bathite...took a while to find his feet but once he did he made some belting deals.

.....i was starting to think the same thing. Horrible deals proposed, always 3 player deals, 2gains in his favour. Very familiar!

Just look for the similar endings to convo's

Thanks

That was a worry I had...we shall see.....

Carlton was never in the ERL? Don't care if it is him - as long as there's only one!

Hold on a minute, I have put question marks or nothing at the end of my convo's.

Other people make 3 for 3 deals, so why can't I do the same?

Oh god, here it starts......Pooly's too old for this, he might have an annurism

Blogs is everywhere.....
