Euro Rugby League Season 4™ Homepage

Yeah Hon i'm bdm!!

No I don't watch RL so no

Well played Brumbies! Where has that performance been all season? Reds don't even get a bonus point!

What did I just witness, oh yeah a poor Quade Cooper

Poor passing, closed down and frustrated yes we seen the odd glimpse of brilliance but he was poor, and that performance proves my point of what I have been saying for much of the season.

Teams were doing that to Genia and Cooper all day long at the start of the season, then they both flourished into life for a while then go off the radar again, but today the Brumbies were fantastic all over the park while the Reds were poor all over the park.

Big trio of Higginbotham, Genia and Cooper were all pants, but I will say this hope Digby Ioane's injury isn't too serious because Australia need him as back-up very good player.

Wasn't too pleased with Luke McAlister today his kicking was impressive but then it went off, when Donald started off poor then came to life. Jarrad Payne with another try to his name, proving why he would be a good signing in this game cough 207...

Cheetahs v Sharks just to go now, don't know whether to watch that one though.

Ioane should start for Australia

Cooper has played brilliantly 2 weeks before he needs a week off

I'd love other teams to sign Payne what a waste of money

Anybody watching the Barbarians v Wales, loads of changes for the Barbarians but Parrise is a very good leader of the side. Nacewa is also showing us why he is one of the on form full-backs in European Rugby.

I also watched some Super Rugby today, very impressed with the Brumbies performance the match was rather exciting watching the Reds trying to break down the Brumbies defence to no prevail.

Looking at some comments, Cooper seems very rated on here but then again some say that he is overrated. He isn't overrated at all, he hasn't performed like he did last season but when he plays well he is one of the best to watch he is a performer on the big stage, but without question teams have done there homework on the Genia and Cooper half back pairing this season, but the Reds are top and the team as a whole has got them to the finals, including Cooper.

I have a couple of deals going round and looking on the portal lukelovesluka is on, I will be patient though if you don't want to get back straight away.

Thank you

Any one up for a deal?

always mate - always

morning fellas. whats happening with clermont? is rowley full time or caretaking or am im caretaking again?

this is where I am at guys need help:
do you think this is the best starting line up and where do I go from here, I think I need a winger/center?

1. Soaone Tonga'uhia
2. Andrew Hore
3. Owen Franks

4. Paul O'Connell
5. Andries Bekker

6. Willem Alberts
7. Francois Louw
8. Imanol Harinordoquy

9. Luke Burgess
10. Colin Slade

11. Matt Banahan
12. Felipe Contepomi
13. Mathieu Bastareaud
14. Bryan Habana
15. Damien Traille

16. Dylan Hartley/Aled Malmanche
17. Brian Mujati/Aled Malmanche
18. Ryan Jones/Christian Day
19. Phil Dowson
20. Lee Dickson
21. Gavin Henson/Stephen Myler
22. David Strettle/Billy Twelvetres

I'd say you need to look for another sh instead of Dickson, he's a good player but the problem on here is they need to be international quality

another back up SH = Burgess is obviously top but I don't know much about Dickson as a player. So ok another SH . . . was going to go for weepu but pull snaffled him away

Hartley is easily better than Hore. 10-15 isn't particularly inspiring

Offer on your page Hon

Hartley is a fair bit better than Hore, your midfield combo isn't that great and Traille doesn't offer much from FB

I'm about for some deals

I'm after some deals as well particularly losing Lydiate

Hello.

I see that Mark Chisholm is a major doubt for the Rugby World Cup, but no information on Digby Ioane yet.

banafan-aka-hon, I think you need a complete revamp of your backs just don't rate many of them to get my vote in predictions.

Thank you

Do you want to caretake again until we get a new manager?

Yeah, fine with me. Would be nice, seeming as i did all that sorting out after the injuries. I'll just update the old caretake link

ok, cool

Is £18m right for Clermont? Have predictions/monthly bonus/transfers been added?

Has blogs gone again then? Missed that

the stade boys are certainly brave to wear the kits they do!

Right then, in the latest (and hopefully last) instalment of Rowleys dramas, I have retaken Clermont as a caretaker. Have got a bit of cash to spend and pretty much all players up for grabs.

Any thoughts on where to improve first?

its actually a half decent looking side mate! Malzieu - maybe a better winger?

Don't like your half backs or Kearney or Mcallister

I'll give you the half backs, but not the others!

Kearneys last good game?

Hard to play well when your injured for such a long time!

Exactly so how can we rate him. Barcella gets dropped in ratings because of injuries he has.

Yeah fair enough, but still in the scheme of things, he is prob 8-10 in the world i imagine, so maybe 12th now. Not really a weakness, surely?

Well Barcella has dropped from number 1 for most to about 5th/6th and he hasn't been injured as much

Im agreeing with you largely, but half backs is the key it appears!

Also, i agree on the thomson comment, would have kaino, then messam, then vito, then thomson. However, lydiate was fasttracked into the welsh team because there was no one else. He did well and didn't look out of place, but takes more then a few games to impress me.

I'd have Vito > Messam

I like Lydiate reckons he will be a mainstay in the Welsh team with Warburton for years

hmmm is driver ever about still thinking about a franks deal with him??

Phil Dowson & Stephen Myler are up for cash offers if anyone wants them?

flippin eck can't believe I might have to release myler & or Dowson to get cash to improve my squad as no one wants them!!!!

surely there must be a taker for them?

Are you honestly surprised Myler is about 8th choice for England. Dowson maybe cos he is versatile but they wouldn't get near a 1st team lineup

Myler 8th choice hardly!!

Hodgson, Wilkinson, Flood, Farrell, Clegg, Goode, Barkley IMO better

Farrell/Clegg not sure about the others yes




Anyone want Dowson for £9 - £10 mil - bargain for a good back up back row!

Farrelll for me easily better

If I had the cash I'd give you £8m for Dowson!

priced at £14 I wouldn't take less than £9! if you wanted to buy him your welcome to offer me cash now and pay the remainder after predo's

Priced at £14m, you'll only recieve £7m. You lose out.

yes thats right - but as per usual with releases if you want to buy him you would have to pay £14 - hence for both of us to get a decent deal out of it!! not giving him away

Meh. I can then buy someone else.

what another player as good as Dowson for £9mil good luck
if you do want him let me know
