Lads, it looks like it is becoming harder and harder to keep this going at the moment. I know Prop and CJ struggle at the minute as well. I would love to continue, however, with no new managers coming in to at least fill up the rest of the sides, I feel like we are on a hiding to nothing at the moment.
Happy to create a different league, for those that are still interested in a rugby league. Any ideas welcome.

Cheers guys

Yeah I think tha''s fair. I'm enjoying it and would like to keep it going but does seem very quiet and like flogging a dead horse sometimes.

A new league would be good but would still need 10-12 keen active managers to make it worthwhile....

by ChequeredJersey Sun 04 Mar 2018, 2:32 am

I’m keen to try and keep this or something else going, and hopefully should be more free from May, but I’m aware it’s getting harder and harder for us all

by Steven_Sharks Sun 04 Mar 2018, 9:11 am

Not sure what the answer is but we just haven't had the numbers for reset to take off.

by Fluxy Mon 05 Mar 2018, 8:52 am

I am happy to keep plugging away with this, but it desperately needs new managers to fill in the voids.

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 05 Mar 2018, 10:23 am

Hey lads, finally got some Wi-Fi. Losing Bam is a big loss but there's not much going on. It takes dealing and bids to keep the interest and it's normally just Flux and Bam doing this really.

Be a real shame to ditch the league now after all the hard work Flux has done.

by Fluxy Mon 05 Mar 2018, 11:56 am

Would we be happy to continue for the moment? We need a bigger push for new managers however.

by pullthestrings Mon 05 Mar 2018, 2:38 pm

Yeah happy to continue but it's so slow at the minute. Need new managers and a bit of enthusiasm to do deals.

by Fluxy Wed 07 Mar 2018, 11:22 am

So what are we expecting for the England team this week gents?

I will get the threads sorted in a moment, let's keep this going and get some more lads in to help out.

Will also look to announce a transfer window or two shortly...

by prop_lyd Thu 08 Mar 2018, 8:09 am

Sorry only just seen all of this. I'm happy to continue but as said before won't be around loads. Shame to see bam go.

Just a thought but how about if forgeins had more stipulations each window like the uncapped last time. For example only a pro14 player or top14 or something like That? Or look at ages. Like one over 30 and one under 25.

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 08 Mar 2018, 2:24 pm

Just an idea.....

I wonder if we could get a Scottish/Welsh/Irish guy involved if we swap out Falcons for say Glasgow/Munster etc? Last throw of the dice. They could run with SQ rules for example

by pullthestrings Tue 13 Mar 2018, 4:30 pm

I guess this has died...

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 14 Mar 2018, 3:51 am

Looks that way......sad times Sad

by Steven_Sharks Thu 15 Mar 2018, 10:20 am

I'd like to keep it on as a rugby discussion forum.

But I think the dead horse has been flogged for long enough.

May well get a kick start at some stage in the future.

by Fluxy Thu 15 Mar 2018, 10:27 am

I am around, sorry just got buried in the past week.

We can try and keep it going, but not much interest atm it seems.

by stnick88 Fri 16 Mar 2018, 11:33 am

sorry guys, my time is limited now and for me this restart hasn't worked. barely any transfers, which is the main bit of the game. maybe re-starting was a bad idea in hindsight.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun 25 Mar 2018, 4:06 pm

Shame to see this die out rose

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 25 Mar 2018, 4:38 pm

I blame you Johnny!!!

How you doing pal? Long time.

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun 25 Mar 2018, 5:15 pm

Wouldn't be right if I didn't get the blame Wink

I'm good mate enjoying a more relaxed schedule for a month or two! Enjoyed the 6 nations very much Smile

by Sgt_Pooly Sun 25 Mar 2018, 5:47 pm

So I take it you're Irish now Wink

Still at the same job?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Sun 25 Mar 2018, 7:33 pm

Half english, half Irish. Get the best of both worlds Wink

Yep still there but not quite as hectic for a while now. You were out in the UAE/Dubai last time I knew. Home now or still out there? Hows the missus doing?

by Sgt_Pooly Mon 26 Mar 2018, 5:01 am

Haha....so why not choose Irish! To be fair, they deserved the Slam, they're becoming extremely efficient.

Still in sandy Middle East mate. (ex)Missus is ok now thankfully....I'm now enjoying the single life Very Happy

by Steven_Sharks Mon 26 Mar 2018, 8:21 pm

Good to hear from you SJE.

Anyone watching much super rugby? Who do you think are favourites to win it this year?

by SirJohnnyEnglish Tue 27 Mar 2018, 2:26 pm

Lucky dog Pooly Wink

Keeping an eye on it Steve. Canes looking formidable. Some finish by Aso at the weekend and the Barretts are looking great together. Rebels stepping up well with the Force reinforcements but can't see them living with the Canes this weekend. Lions been disappointing so far although got to love Malcolm Marx.

Poolys boy Akira Ioane is finally showing some of that promise again!

by Fluxy Mon 30 Apr 2018, 4:18 pm

Afternoon gents, how are all we all doing?

I'm sorry that I have left it this long to actually say sorry for this falling apart!
Everyone enjoying the Falcons journey to the top 4, as much as Pooly and I? Very Happy

by wisden Tue 08 May 2018, 6:10 pm

If this re-starts guys can someone drop me a PM? Would be intrested in taking part..

by Sgt_Pooly Tue 08 May 2018, 7:06 pm

Hey Wisden, yea sure. I think we need another 2 guys maybe to start again.

by BamBam Tue 08 May 2018, 11:01 pm

Ah CF, welcome back!

by Fluxy Wed 09 May 2018, 10:10 am

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 09 May 2018, 10:12 am

Who's CF?

by Fluxy Wed 09 May 2018, 11:24 am

If we are being hypothetical about this, who is in?

1.
2.
3.
....

by Sgt_Pooly Wed 09 May 2018, 11:29 am

I'll be back in with a full complement.

by pullthestrings Wed 09 May 2018, 8:27 pm

I'll be in.

If nothing else, we should definitely get 10 of us to do the fantasy rugby draft, it's a good craic.

http://www.fantasyrugbydraft.com/

by BamBam Wed 09 May 2018, 9:02 pm

I was looking at that a while ago, would be up for that

As for a league, I'd only be in if it was an active league

by Sgt_Pooly Thu 10 May 2018, 4:54 am

Draft looks like a bit of fun.

by ChequeredJersey Sun 13 May 2018, 12:34 am

sure why not?

by Fluxy Mon 14 May 2018, 4:34 pm

What's the draft about/like then?

by pullthestrings Thu 17 May 2018, 4:25 pm

It's like ordinary fantasy football/rugby in that you score points based on players performance. But only one team can have each player, so there's trading etc...

by Driver Thu 17 May 2018, 5:20 pm

Shame to see this go down the river fellas.

by BamBam Thu 17 May 2018, 11:14 pm

Difficult to keep it going when managers sign up, last a couple of weeks then disappear

by prop_lyd Mon 21 May 2018, 4:40 pm

I'd be up for fantasy draft league. Be done with uni by the time it starts!!

by wisden Thu 31 May 2018, 6:48 pm

Im in, sorry got sidetracked for couple weeks, but all good now, so im in if happening Smile

by CJB Fri 01 Jun 2018, 12:34 am

I’d be in. Don’t check this site that regularly without this, so if something does begin to really kick off, someone shout me on facebook

by Fluxy Thu 07 Jun 2018, 3:23 pm

So thoughts on the England 23 then gents?

by Driver Thu 07 Jun 2018, 3:29 pm

Eddie has lost it.

by Sgt_Pooly Fri 08 Jun 2018, 9:59 am

How many potential players have we got involved?

1. Pooly
2. Flux
3. Driver
4. Pull
5. Prop
6. Steve
7. Wisden
8. CJB
9. CJ
10. Bam
11. Johnny/Nick?

Could we run with 10? or a fresh push for 2 more managers? Another reset?

Possibly include Glasgow and Munter/Leinster to broaden the push for new managers?

by pullthestrings Wed 13 Jun 2018, 8:19 am

Happy to give this a go again if it restarts but I think the appetite might have gone a bit and don't want to flog a dead horse again.

Hopefully the fantasy draft should be fun, not much time commitment and still something for the rugby fanatics!

by Fluxy Wed 13 Jun 2018, 10:37 am

Still have the enthusiasm myself mate, yet don't want to start a false hope!

It is worth giving this fantasy draft a shot I reckon.

by Driver Thu 14 Jun 2018, 11:21 am

I'd have time to do one like Pull's old league but not one as in depth as this one was.

by pullthestrings Tue 19 Jun 2018, 1:39 pm

We have a while until the new season but with holiday season etc it makes sense to get planning together for the draft.

We need 10 to play. Info is here: http://www.fantasyrugbydraft.com/howtoplay#2

We need to pick a time slot for the initial draft (picking of players). See the link above for the difference between online/offline draft.

My preference is online as it keeps it all tidy and out the way but might be difficult to get all 10 at the same time. Alternative is we do the drafting on here and people have say half an hour to make their pick over the course of a day.

League kicks off on 31 August so seems sensible to do sometime during the week commencing 18 August (maybe earlier if offline draft)

Please can you therefore confirm:

- if you're in
- if you'd prefer online/offline draft.
- if online, your time preference, e.g. Weekdays/weekends, morning, lunch, afternoon, evening

We could always join late to the super rugby one and trial it for a few weeks?

by Fluxy Wed 20 Jun 2018, 3:20 pm

Just attempted creating a league and says that the draft finished for season 2017 in March Headscratch

I'm happy to do whatever, as long as we have people to commit a league! Be it the old Euro league, or a reboot of the 'current' system, which would be about the perfect timing considering all the European draws have just been made, and the season hasn't kicked off yet.
