Still get a playmaker 10

by Driver Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:19 pm

That's next on my list , hopefully Heathcote kicks on this year.

Which 8 could i get for £18m if we were to guess?

Need a up and coming one!

by ChequeredJersey Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:21 pm

I'm not giving you any hints as which 8s to buy!

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:21 pm

Could always do detailed predo's for 3m instead of 1.5m Wink

For the sake of a couple of mil I'd go for a proper big nation 8

by Driver Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:22 pm

What if i add the detail now?

I start writing the detail out and then relise i can't be arsed to do it 6 times over haha

by Sgt_Pooly Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:23 pm

Can add it now no probs

Only need 2 lines

by ChequeredJersey Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:24 pm

Mate, in fair spirit I have to say this though it pains me, but I only know 2 real up and coming international class 8s (unless Beattie gets form back) not in the game and both wear dark blue and I don't want anyone to buy either of them!

by Driver Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:28 pm

Is one Rhys Ruddock?

by ChequeredJersey Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:32 pm

No I meant international colours, though Ruddock is a goo long term shout. The players to whom I refer are Pickles and Dave Denton

by Driver Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:41 pm

Done!

I'm up to £19.5m

by ChequeredJersey Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:55 pm

Happy with Burns though, one for the future. Quite like my future 15 if we are still running in 5 years!

Wilson replaces Stevens in EPS, Vunipola is his Saxon replacement

by Driver Tue Sep 25, 2012 2:45 pm

Wilson could of nailed the tighthead shirt a few years but but never kicked on after leaving Falcons

The Twelvetrees/Henson deal is rescinded. Way to one sided!

On the discussion on feedback etc I say if you have the time then give as much as you can. Someone might not like it but they aren't going to improve their side without it.

The questioning predictions while the match thread is still open has to stop. We are all big boys and if we aren't happy with a comment you should know to take it up privately or after results are done. If it continues expect fines or some form of punishment to come in as it can be seen as an attempt to persuade voting.

CJ on your locks I see nothing wrong with them. I think this week Horwill is the stand out in your game but there isn't an awful lot between the combos. Good start to the Heino and AI's and Ryans rating will jump again. Hes been quality for Munster the last 18 months.

i made the offer ffs! im happy with it, whats the point of me having my side if i cant do the deals i want for my side..

i couldnt care less about losing twelvetrees!

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Sep 25, 2012 3:26 pm

Because its a terrible deal for Wasps.

Why would you lose one of the brightest EQ options at 12 for somebody who's hardly played in 4 years and doesn't get rated

by Guest Tue Sep 25, 2012 3:29 pm

who cares if someone thinks its a terrible deal for wasps..

im the wasps coach, i made the offer if im happy with it, then surely thats it......

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue Sep 25, 2012 3:31 pm

Like Pooly says its a mad deal. Want you to get bedded into the game CF but don't want Wasps becoming uncompetitive while your doing so as you will just lose interest long term and Wasps will become an impossible sell

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Sep 25, 2012 3:36 pm

Because if you leave I'm left with a garbage Wasps team.

It's other people who predo on the games, if we all think it's a poor deal does that not tell you something?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue Sep 25, 2012 4:24 pm

Since I have mine in now I can start nagging Very Happy

Get those predictions in lads! Cut off per usual at 8pm thumbsup

by Guest Tue Sep 25, 2012 4:42 pm

im not gonna lose intrest, the only thing that is annoying me is every deal i make is being scrutnised.....you need to leave me to make my own deals.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue Sep 25, 2012 4:54 pm

Its all in the best interests of the league CF. If this league is to run long term (the original game this is based on is now in its fifth year!) then all the teams need to be competitive.

If you make deals like that now while getting to grips with the game your squad will get pretty bare. If your left uncompetitive compared to everyone else it will be very hard to maintain interest and Wasps will be impossible to sell to any new manager.

by Guest Tue Sep 25, 2012 4:56 pm

ok then

by Driver Tue Sep 25, 2012 4:58 pm

Guys a quick question about the balace of my side from 4 to 8

4.Etzebeth
5.Botha
6.Croft
7.Robshaw
8.Denton

Is that ticking all the boxes in the pack or should i start hargreaves at 5? or Brussouw in the back row.

by Guest Wed Sep 26, 2012 3:42 pm

how much do we add to our budget for posting predo's?

by ChequeredJersey Wed Sep 26, 2012 3:43 pm

If it was just scores, £1.5m

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Sep 26, 2012 5:02 pm

You don't need to add anything, there's a budget page that gets updated

by Guest Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:08 pm

guys who do you think would be a good signing for me from foreigns?

by Driver Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:18 pm

Think you need some quality at hooker fella , Kevin Mealamu , Deon Fourie , Dimitri Szsaweski or Adriaan Strauss all good choices.

by Guest Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:22 pm

must admit Szawreski would be a good choice.....im not sure how much cash would get someone like that though, dont wanna get ripped off!

by Driver Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:24 pm

The two saffers are better than Dimi , he gets picked on loads cos he can't scrummage.

by Guest Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:25 pm

either way though, is there anywhere which can give rough estimates of prices for these sorts of players?

by Driver Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:30 pm

Standout in position - 25m +
World class player - 22 - 25m
Top Class Int - 20 - 23m
Int - 16 - 23m
Non Int - 10 - 18m

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:39 pm

LK, 10 or centre I reckon CF

by Guest Wed Sep 26, 2012 7:21 pm

if i made an offer for a foreign though, would it get rejected for being 'a bad deal for wasps' Wink

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Sep 26, 2012 8:12 pm

Judging by some of your recent deals.......possibly lol

by Driver Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:06 pm

Cisse

by Fluxy Wed Sep 26, 2012 11:35 pm

Table updated

by Guest Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:38 am

guys why do some of the fixtures say (rugby championship) next to them,

for example this week's does...is there different rules on selection etc, for this week's game??

by Fluxy Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:40 am

Players playing in the Rugby Championship can't be selected in your matchday squad.

by Guest Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:41 am

what in the real life rugby championship?

by Fluxy Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:46 am

by SirJohnnyEnglish Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:48 am

Yeah CF. Any player selected to play internationals in an international window isn't available for the purpose of this game. Won't affect you this time as you have no Southern Hemisphere internationals but it will during the Autumn Internationals & 6 Nations

by Guest Thu Sep 27, 2012 12:41 pm

ok cool, so i have a full side to choose from Smile

by Driver Thu Sep 27, 2012 1:13 pm

New Zealand team:

Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Daniel Carter, Aaron Smith, Tony Woodcock, Andrew Hore, Owen Franks, Luke Romano, Sam Whitelock, Liam Messam, Richie McCaw (captain), Kieran Read

Reserves: Keven Mealamu, Charlie Faumuina, Brodie Retallick, Sam Cane, Piri Weepu, Aaron Cruden, Ben Smith.

by Bathite Thu Sep 27, 2012 1:25 pm

No real surprises there. I'd say that's there strongest team with the exceptions of Thorn, SBW and Kaino

by Driver Thu Sep 27, 2012 1:27 pm

Nonu is hardly a bad back up though....

by Bathite Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:19 pm

Lads, some thoughts please. Please be constructive and don't slate my players, you know I'm a delicate flower!

Barkley has been playing some good stuff at 10 so far this year, so I'm considering give him a start and playing Hook at 12. Having a second playmaker of Steyn at 12 suits my gameplan and it's been well rated on here, so thinking about replicating it again.

10 Barkley
12 Hook
13 Laulala

or

10 Hook
12 Barkley
13 Laulala

Has Laulala played much at 12, would anyone rate him there?

by Driver Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:43 pm

I don't rate Laulala at all fella i'd be adventourous and go

10.Barkley
12.Banahan
13.Hook

by Guest Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:50 pm

yh i agree with driver to be honest.

by prop_lyd Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:51 pm

Laulaula's doing well at Munster!
I prefer Barkley at 10 over Hook
