Just stumbled upon this fella, Im keen

by pullthestrings Tue Aug 02, 2011 1:23 pm

It's not finished yet!!

Added you both. Any suggestions initially?

by Fluxy Tue Aug 02, 2011 1:24 pm

I'm up for this. Whistle

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Aug 02, 2011 1:25 pm

Keep it simple

hows it going to work with the cash bit? can france only buy french players? or is it more like the fantasy footy leagues, where you have cash to pick a squad

by Bathite Tue Aug 02, 2011 1:27 pm

Oh, forgot my main suggestion - NO BLOGS

by pullthestrings Tue Aug 02, 2011 1:30 pm

The countries only relate to the starting squads of 30. After that any player can play for any team, so any foreigns are available.

Blogs will hate that!!

Hoping to start around 5/9 to allow time to settle squads. Fixtures will coincide with the RWC:

12/9 - Round 1
19/9 - Round 2
26/9 - Round 3
3/10 - Round 4 (Lose the losers from each pool)
** CASH INJECTION**
10/10 - QF's
17/10 - SF's
23/10 - Final

by Bathite Tue Aug 02, 2011 1:44 pm

Sounds good, maybe a limit of 'overseas' players in each team, need to keep some affiliation to the country bit.

Will players outside of each teams WC30 be available? For example, if I was the islanders, I would want to sign Nacewa and Caucau, would that be allowed?

by pullthestrings Tue Aug 02, 2011 1:55 pm

The WC30 will be the starting squads for each team with the exception of Scotaly and Pacific Islanders where it will be 30 players from the 60/90 players picked.

Any players that don't go to the WC (eg Bekker, Chuter..) will be available in foreigns.

Shot gun NZ Whistle

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:02 pm

Oz...

Bathite wrote:If your squad is 30, is there a min/max size?

Just thinking about releases thats all

I want the max squad to be 30 but that would mean people would have to release before they bought foreigns which may negate the higher budgets the lesser teams have.. Headscratch

Not sure how we're picking yet.. although I'm shotgunning the Wallabies if we go down that route. laughing

Anyone but wales.....ugh!

How we going to choose teams then fella? Random.org?

by Bathite Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:03 pm

Surely you can't do it by shot gun! Got to be a random list, only fair way, otherwise some latecomer will get stuck with Wales

by Steven_Sharks Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:05 pm

I'm in.

by Steven_Sharks Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:05 pm

Will this be running alongside the ERL??

by pullthestrings Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:05 pm

Best get in there quick then Bathite... lol

Nah it'll be random.org but then Managers can choose in order.. I like there to be a bit of choice rather than, say, Prop being dumped with England!

Steven_Sharks wrote:Will this be running alongside the ERL??

Yep.

by Bathite Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:06 pm

Random then choose....I like it, bet there will be a few surprises that way as well. Some good teams in there that with 1/2 signings all of a sudden look much much better

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:20 pm

Pull - get Y I Man to replace the Rugby Legends game with thos one as a sticky

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:26 pm

You do know you'll do all the work and this prob won't get past the first round

by pullthestrings Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:26 pm

I have PM'd him thumbsup

by LukeLovesLuka Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:33 pm

Probably Pooly, but it'll be fun Wink

Only on for a few weeks anyway.

Yet another grumpy comment from Mr Positivity!

by Bathite Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:49 pm

Grumpy old man!

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:15 pm

Lol....you know I'm right though...that's what hurts!

by pullthestrings Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:16 pm

I dunno what you're on about, you're doing foreigns!

by Sgt_Pooly Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:21 pm

Lol....I don't think so

by Driver Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:59 pm

Interested

by prop_lyd Tue Aug 02, 2011 8:07 pm

Not sure if i'll really have time but i will see, if you are desparate then i may have a look see.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Wed Aug 03, 2011 3:33 pm

Id give this a go thumbsup

by pullthestrings Wed Aug 03, 2011 3:50 pm

Alright SJE thumbsup

Keep checking in with the updates but we'll get this up and running late August.

Just 3 managers to go now.. Whistle

by CJB Wed Aug 03, 2011 6:55 pm

I'd be interested, pull why not have smaller squads to counter the bigger teams better back up. If we start with 22, NZ won't have as much as an advantage over others

by pullthestrings Wed Aug 03, 2011 7:04 pm

207, good man thumbsup

Good point, might consider that. Just make it the managers reponsibility to cut the 30 down to 22..?

by CJB Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:15 pm

Yer should be fair and more foreigns.

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:35 pm

Problem is new Zealand would get even stronger through foreigns...

by Sgt_Pooly Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:39 pm

I'm not involved but maybe allow NZ 1 foreign and scale from that etc. You'd have to hit injuries home big style to take affect or possibly only allow 10 selections from each squad to increase foreigns....

by CJB Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:50 pm

New Zealand would have to sell to get money though

by pullthestrings Wed Aug 03, 2011 9:00 pm

The league contains the best nations from around the world - surely NZ wouldnt be able to improve in foreigns as a) they have no money and b) they'll be no better than what they already have?

I think the best idea is to have squads of 22-25 to negate new sealants dominance.

by LukeLovesLuka Wed Aug 03, 2011 9:45 pm

Surely if were having 22 man squads everyone will need cash as weare having injuries?

by pullthestrings Wed Aug 03, 2011 10:03 pm

25 men squads.. enough cash to buy 2-3 foreigns and then 4 injuries? max squad 30.

by puntingred Sat Aug 06, 2011 10:49 am

I'd be interested?

by pullthestrings Sun Aug 07, 2011 12:41 pm

OK Puntingred - I'll keep you updated :thumbsip:

by prop_lyd Sun Aug 07, 2011 12:50 pm

If you haven't got anyone by the end of this week i'll probably take it on, seeing as it's short! Just not sure how much time I can give!

by puntingred Sun Aug 07, 2011 1:35 pm

Cheers Pull.

by Guest Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:18 pm

I would be interested in this if there is any room.

Some of you might remember me from the ERL game on 606 season 2?

by pullthestrings Wed Aug 17, 2011 12:17 pm

Carlton - I'll add you to the waiting list and let you know. Will probably kick off next week thumbsup

by prop_lyd Wed Aug 17, 2011 9:55 pm

Pull: is there a draft where we pick teams or how is it going to work? Also: is there going to be a quota of non-qualified players eg (4) per match day squad? Finaly one: are we doing predos?
