Euro Rugby League Season 4™ Homepage (2)

Bathite I know it might pee people off.

But in all honesty the certain illness does make people feel very low some days, yesterday I was in a terrible mood and felt really down.

At that point yes I did want to take a break, but I didn't want to quit you can feel very good one day then another day you can feel really down that's how it affects people and I hope you guys can understand that.

It's not a oh dear oh dear matter Bathite, it can become very serious in people.

But today im feeling a lot better and I wish to continue if that's ok with pullthestrings.

Personal problems are personal mate and should stay that way, i wouldn't wish ill health on my worst enemy or even Tim Payne!

But your behaviour on here is ridiculous, you wonder why people get annoyed? Its beggar's belief

When has my behaviour ever been ridiculous?

If I experience personal problems/depression I experience it, I can't change that you probably don't understand how hard it can be but as you can tell by yesterday and today I feel a lot better.

I can't help it, I can't change how I feel in the matter of seconds it simply doesn't work like that.

I have made deals, contributed alot, handed in all my predictions and teamsheets, haven't threatened to quit EVER. Yesterday was a blip I wasn't feeling good at all stressed and agitated mainly and if someone has a brain on here, you could of figured that out.

Im sorry about yesterday, but in previous times since I joined I haven't done anything to upset anybody.

Bathite give it a rest, your comments are not helping anyone.

Didn't realise i was being out of line, if anything i was trying to be supportive about the illness.

Predictions left:

Driver
Fluxy
Glosbear
Prop
Fastlane
Pooly - already said might be tricky

Will predict soon Bathite.

Now Driver has made changes, not going to bother with Butch James not that keen on his form, I really think Slade is better at 10 than he is at 15, that's where he came to life and did well last season at fly-half.

Will have loads of money, would anybody be willing to sell a player of there's for cash a lock maybe?

Or what about Flip Van Der Merwe or Dave Attwood from the foreigns will they be good buys?

Bekker Pape Pierre for sale at right price, all better options then FVDM or Attwood.

Where did the £39m come from? Jeepers! Pretty sure its only £29m and the 10m bonus for a new manager, which you obviously won't get

Was £10 originally
then £10 new manager
£19m from releases

10 million.

Driver isn't a new manager though, only proper new managers get a 10 million starter.

Don't think you got 10 million when you caretaked a team that time did you Bathite?

Bear, I'm sick of this. You can't keep doing it.

I've no idea about your personal problems but you don't need to take it out on here, just take a couple of days off and chill.

I'm not sure if you're aware of what I've been through but there are days I just want to throw the towel in.. not just on here but with everything.

As I've said before, people come on here to chill out during the day they don't need you (or me) bombarding them with their problems.

I was caretaking before you joined mate, so don't know how you know that!

But I didn't and you shouldn't either, so your budget is £29m

Luke - that was kind of the point i was trying to make before, when i said personal is personal, try and keep it to yourself etc. Think it came across wrong

Im not taking it on on here.

You have to understand my reasons or you will just think im a idiot, I have to tell you or you will take it that im messing people about when im truly not trying to.

I just feel I have to explain because of what people say, like Bathite saying I am causing trouble I have to explain it or he simply won't get it and then will think im just spoiling the fun of the game when im trying not to.

I think your an idiot anyway , really who supports Gloucester! not that i'm bitter much after the LV cup final

Keep running Driver.....very very fast with that Glaws comment!!

Which is best bet lads for my front row:

Healy/Botha-Smit/Strauss-Mujati/Ross/Smit??

Healy-Smit-Mujati

By quite a long way i would have said, with Smit the weakness. Still hooker available in foreigns i would rate better then smit personally

Healy
Smit
Mujati

That's some strong core of a form player, a rising star and an experienced head.

Anyone read Mujati's blogs? Well worth a read, really interesting and frank insights

http://www.ruggavibe.com/page/team-players/brianmujati/372676-Brian-s-blog-A-day-like-no-other

Yeah i'v read it , Kinda feel bad for the guy although he does come across as a bit of a clutz

10. JMH
12. Hook
13. Ansbro
15. Aplon

10. Hook
12. King
13. Ansbro
15. JMH

10. Skrela
12. Hook
13. King
15. JMH

Opinions on the best lineup?

JMH At 15 always for me. Rate hook at ten but not ansbro or king at 12

Hore, Chisholm, Boric, Roberts and Mapasua are available for offers.

If deals have gone through, can people update their pages and confirm, its getting a bit confusing

Every Toulon player for sale.

Like you guys have said this is no time to be stubborn, I need to turn things around like Driver has done and Bathite.

So...Ayerza, Hore, Nel, Tialata, Deacon, Chisholm, Boric, Brown, Warburton, Parisse, Louw, Pretorious, Kelleher, Donald, Slade, Mapasua, Roberts, J.Davies, Guildford, Clerc, R.Davies, Poitrenaud plus a couple of others for sale.

That will mean making some good signings and some squad signings with those players in tow.

I will be round and hopefully people come to me, I will try not to be stubborn as this is a resort which I have to take to hopefully win a game.

Thanks guys

Pooly and Driver left to nominate.

Real inconsistency from everyones' predictions the last two weeks guys, would hate to think that there are ulterior motives! Its a bit fishy!

All Toulon players for sale no time to be stubborn I need deals.

So 1 for 1 swaps would be nice
I have cash
Straight forward swap offers would be nice
And whoever is kind enough 3 for 2 offers in my favour would be nice

Need to get moving and I would like you guys to actually contribute and maybe help me, or answer my offers to you.

Thanks and good morning to everybody.

That's more like it Blogs, a nice message.

Thinking aloud..

Poit + Brown + £8 mil
=
F Steyn + Bonnaire/Wood

enq.

Looking to improve barclay or croft using lydiate + kruger + cussiter as well as b/c.

b/c?

Right then fellas, off to the Rec in a few hours, hospitality tickets courtesy of JP Morgan!

Its a free bar, so won't be doing results until sunday i would imagine, as still waiting on pooly.

Bathite - I'm going to that! It would be creepy to say meet up so I won't do that.. but have a good one!

You won't be able to miss me mate, Im a 4ft11, 48 year old housewife, i'll be in my Saracens shirt, with my Bathite tattoo on my forehead.

Free all night!!!

I give up now.

Won't be dealing at all, so will just hand in teamsheets and predictions not going to get anywhere can't even win a flaming match.

Hopefully if we do a Season 5, I get an opportunity to make a good side.

Sorry but not going to get anywhere at all.

Not like you Blogs whinging because nobody will give you deal massivley favoured to you........

The team is pants and won't get anywhere.

I guarntee that I won't win a game, so there is no point trying there isn't enough time left so it just gets boring and more boring each day.

See I don't even have a game this week, so that's another week gone without a win.

Hopefully I have a chance in Season 5 if there is one, start from fresh and see what I can do.

Well you've had enough teams to try with! 2 with your Blogs account and is it 2 with your Bear account now?!?!

Well said!

Northampton and Clermont both had great squads and got ruined!

On the plus side, if you didn't have a game this week, i imagine thats because you played Saints or Clermont, so you actually get a 20-0 win!

Oh well, basically that's a bye.

Im just not going to get anything, it's pretty boring in all fairness when you know you won't win a game.

See yer Blogs....

Nice to see Rugby players swearing in there twitter tweets.

Not the way to go about business thought Rugby players are the sensible one's, unlike football.

Drew Mitchell you should be ashamed

Yeah you would think that they could at least get 'their' spelling right!

WEEK 15 FINAL RESULTS:

Some strange results this week, as after their win at home to Toulouse and draw away to Saracens, the Ospreys fail to get one win prediction and lose at home to Scots. Saracens came very close to snatching a well deserved win at home to Toulouse, but were on the receiving end of 3 wins compared to the French side's 4.


Tigers 29 - 20 Bath
The Tigers made this result look a little too easy, as they went through the gears at home. This game was won with a combative and dominating pack providing consistent ball for the home team.

Leinster 30 - 18 Toulon
Leinster never looked in trouble against a side that looked bereft of confidence and fluidity. Although they were challenged in the front row, the back row and half backs marshalled the game superbly and ensured a maximum 5 points were picked up.

Ospreys 21 - 28 Scots
An out of sorts Ospreys team came unstuck to the Scots on this occasion. The Scottish team won the battle up front convincingly and the in form half backs of Burgess and Cooper ripped TOL and Steyn to shreds.

Saracens 25 - 28 Toulouse
The closest game of the week was edged by a late Morgan Parra penalty. In a high scoring game, many of the world class strike runners on both sides managed to break the gain line consistently.

Bear - have you peed off yet or was that another threat to leave?

What do people rate better?

Best on paper
11. Gear
14. Habana
15. Toeava

or

NZ Combo, had for most of season
11. Gear
14. Maitland
15. Toeava

or

NZ combo, get Ben Smith involved, Toeava to wing, where he will play for AB
11. Gear
14. Toeava
15. Smith

Habana is the better player on paper and with the international experience and pedigree, but off form. Maitland is the NZ bolter, one of top try scorers in Super Rugby 2011 and completes a NZ back three for me. Also, have Ben Smith on the bench as well, who has been one of the players of the season and a bolter for WC squad.

Top one. I don't think Maitland is that good. Top finisher, but his defence is a bit suspect. Looks better than he is as he plays in a top side.
