I'm planning on doing U21 standalone drafts/bids...

I'm sensing your not liking this one Johnny lol

by SirJohnnyEnglish Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:30 am

I like the idea of u21 bids its good fun trying to find the next star. Think its better as an occasional thing instead of every season though as it would wipe out the foreign base quickly. If your having u21 bids on top of foreign signings there will be no one of note left to buy

Also just dont see where having a limit on playing them will help level the league out mate. In the end it just favours the better academies.

Should I target a 9, 7 or 12 next?!

by Bathite Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:56 am

7, back row doesn't quite have the balance yet for me

by Fluxy Fri Apr 20, 2012 2:26 am

I don't think a draft is the right way to go for U21. Maybe a system like foreigns but open it up, when we close the foreign transfer window?

That way we can allow people to buy in talent midway through the season to compliment their team.

Thoughts on the following:

1. Next season 1/2 point for win rather than 1 (make results closer)

2. Ways to even up league in close season
a- Cash injection (more for lower teams)
b- Draft of players

3. U21 bids, would people prefer a draft of players to save budgets?

4. As English is staying at 4 in team and 8 in squad, how about having to name a number of U21 players in starting lineup (English or foreign)?

Thoughts welcome, this is our league so looking to keep things going and hopefully last as long as Orig AP. I just want to keep things competitve and not make it into an all stars game

1. Absolutely. As you know we are going to that system on the other game as well next season.
2. I'd go cash over draft to be honest, think it tends to be a bit fairer and gives people more scope to mould their squad as they would like.
3. Again, I would go with bids.
4. I tend to agree with SJE on this one, long term it will simply benefit those who have strong academies in real life and constantly churn out good young talent, and I say that as someone who is charge of a club with an excellent academy that is currently supplying a large number of England players at U20, U18 and U16.

I see Irish have re-signed Geraghty as expected. Great.

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 12:03 am

Not quite the border line world class 10 Brian Smith promised....

by stnick88 Sat Apr 21, 2012 12:05 am

we still have another 10 to come so you never know!

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 12:06 am

Any hints Nick?

by prop_lyd Sat Apr 21, 2012 12:49 am

Is it MacAlister?

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:03 am

I'v heard it's Mike Catt...........

by stnick88 Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:23 am

No I have no ideas I'm afraid.

Anyone else's topic reminder a comment by Bathite?

Yupp. Confused.com

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:28 am

Looks like a PM to me , this website is going crazy.

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:29 am

it's comment from somewhere, I remember reading it a while ago.

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:31 am

Bit of a pain in the bum really.

Anyone seen that Ched Evans has been found guilty of rap e? He'll be back out in 3 years playing football again - sickens me.

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:35 am

it was a bit like with King from Wigan at the time I think? Was in prison for 8 months then is back playing in the Championship. Although I think his was sexual assualt. But I don't actually know what the difference between the two really are!?

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:37 am

It's just been describing it on SSN and it sounds like this

Evans chats up a drunk bird and goes back to hers with his 2 mates
The girl is clearly too drunk and does not give CE consent and he he takes advantage of this and has sex with her.
CE two mates film this and it has been used as evidence
Chad Evans is given a 5 year sentance on the basis that she was too drunk and didn't give consent

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:40 am

Ohhh lovely...

by beshocked Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:43 am

I think London Irish have done well to get rid of Hape.

London Irish do really seem to struggle at fly half for whatever reason. It's bizarre.

Why not delve into the Championship pool for some gems?

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:44 am

They tried that and came back with Adrian Jarvis.

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:45 am

Surprised that they haven't come up North yet...

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:47 am

They tried to sign Jimmy Goppereth but he signed a 3 year deal with Newcastle because he enjoys surfing in Tynedale Shocked

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:50 am

So he's into his watersports... chin

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 1:52 am

Must be , surprised he came to Newcastle to be honest if he enjoys watersports.

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:09 am

Where can i improve for next season?

01.New Loosehead	09.Luke Burgess
02.Joe Grey	10.Nick Evans
03.James Johnstone
04.Tom Denton	11.Elliot Daley
05.George Robson	12.Owen Farrell
06.Chris Robshaw	13.Jared Payne
07.Matt Kvesic	14.Tom Williams
08.Nick Easter	15.Adam Ashley Cooper

by Bathite Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:10 am

Props, second row and wingers and in that order of importance i would say

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:11 am

I'm hoping Denton kicks on at Leinster next year , could be a super star!

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:13 am

Depends, where Worcs play Kvesic. Seeing as Horstmann was released I've got a feeling they'll play him at 8. But for England's hopes I wish they play him at seven!

by Bathite Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:14 am

I'd be hoping for Payne to be fit more mate. 13 such a crucial attacking position and Farrell v.strong defensively, but offers nothing in attack. Maybe consider AAC at 13?

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:15 am

Not to slate your move for Farrell Drive, but would think that Faz will be playing more ten from now on. He's playing ten tonight against Falcons.

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:19 am

I hope Payne gets fit as he is such a silky player , would walk into most teams. I suppose the advantage of signing AAC is that he can play anywhere.

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:38 am

Play him at TH when Falcons come to you next season then Wink

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:41 am

Lol , He'd probably take to that as well and paste Corbs!

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:50 am

Probably! Would love to see a team try and play players in reverse positions.

Cipriani at LH and Dan Cole at FB anyone?

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:32 am

Can someone keep me posted on the Falcons. Stuck at work and I have no radio!

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:37 am

3-0 at halftime to Saracens , atmosphere is electric and being spoiled by poor game

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:38 am

Ah great. Not a bad score to overcome!

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:40 am

I think we'll do them second half , but i'v had a few beers so my judgment is clouded lol

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:43 am

I think I can trust you after a few beverages!

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:51 am

6-0 , Golding penalised at Scrum , Farrell adds the 3

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:55 am

Remains 6-0 - Goppereth missed Penalty

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:56 am

Typical lol.

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 7:01 am

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Penalty by Goppereth makes it 6-3

by Fluxy Sat Apr 21, 2012 7:22 am

Yes come on little Jimmy!

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 7:28 am

9-3 with 4 mins left

by Driver Sat Apr 21, 2012 7:37 am

Finished 9-3 , need Wasps to lose away to Bath tomorrow.

by Bathite Sat Apr 21, 2012 9:52 pm

If we don't beat wasps I think I might start supporting Bristol! Hoping we deny them a bonus point. Really want falcons to stay up, can't stand wasps
