What's your boggle?

Boggle.....that's a game I haven't played for years!!

Boggle is a great game.

Come on pull, who you picking?

me too prop - good to haev some cover, hence why N'tmack , Benazzi and Healey were high up my list - least I got one of them!!

Come on Pullthestrings.

You even commented earlier thought we would be finished by now.

I have a list now of 48 players that I am interested in getting for my team so hopefully won't need to get into any bidding wars with anyone.

Come on Pull, pull you finger out and make your pick!!!

48 LOL

care to spare a few good names for center

On the phone so can't do any research!

Anyone got any tips?

What position?

Can't do any reasearch got any tips

Hurry up lol I wanted this finished by today.

Centre is the one position that I am a litle light on in that number.

Got loads of 10's and back three players.

Your keeping people waiting Mr pullthestrings sorry to keep pushing you but I guess we all want this done.

yeah i found looking for centers it was hard to pick solid players from whats left . . . N'tmack & Lima being great choices . . .

What's the rush? Chill out man, I'm busy.

Still nothing from you.

We want this done please

hey bear hows the bidding gong to work? is it 24 hrs per bid? 1 bid at a time etc . .

we might be here for another week

Lads just as a heads up: i'm running a teamwork session for my young people tomorrow from 8.30 till 12ish so won't be active in the morning!!

I wanted to get this done and when I see pullthestrings on it's kinda naff to see him not just put one players name down.

We could have had this done by now, and open the foreigns ready for first teamsheets on friday or saturday then fixtures wednesday.

Lewis Moody.

My suggestion for bidding is this, people can bid for up to five players at a time, and bear sets a time that he will answer all bids, say 9pm each day. That way it shouldn't take more than 2-3 days to get the whole thing done.

Is that you are picking Moody or calling bear moody?

Thank you pullthestrings

Bathite turn now he is online so hopefully he can pick straight away.

get it on . . . .

yeah so what do you think about petes bidding idea bear?

It sucks being last pick this round. I know who I want but I bet he's gone when its my turn!

Lets get this done today peeps, I want to unleash the Sandhurst Barbarians on the world!

You there Bathite???

Driving, will be done by 12

Having second thoughts on my pick..........

Wanted to go for an 80 cap legend, the first NH player to play super rugby, the mercurial Gregor townsend. Covers FH/IC/FB. Would you lot rate him? Now that he is surrounded by the likes of horan little howlett, rather then scots rubbish lot!

All I will say Bathite is that he was on my list of players to go for.

uggh.......i am in a pickle! 3 targets, don't know which one to go for!

Session finished early so I'm about now for my pick soon

i can give you some advice if you need it bathite

hon - i'll pm you!

Same here Bathite if you want advice i'll give it, i've got a few lined up so don't mind if it's one of my picks!!

prop and hon, cheers. i have messaged both of you! sure that all of mine would be on everyone list!

bathite - pm'd you back - one thing I would say is your short another outright fly-half and although those choices are good \i would look to get a free pick there before the bidding starts . . .there are still some good ones out there . . .

well 2/3 players on my list covered there fine and Horan does also, having played there before. failing that, not going to be hard to pick up a good 20/30 capper later in the game on the cheap.

thanks for the advice prop and hon, both of you confirmed what i thought! all good players! dammit!

Decisions decisions 'ey??!! Personally i'd go for the first one you mentioned in the email, if not i'll take him in foregins!!

I kind of agree with prop here either him or the center choice. Both of which I believe will be hot property in transfer market


mind you so will the full back as well, now you come to mention it

Hi guys. Excuse the interruption but I've just noticed this thread is approaching the 20 page mark. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the forum doesn't allow threads to go beyond 20 pages and so when it reaches that point it either disallows further posts, or starts a new one (owned by whoever the current poster is).

What I'd suggest is that your section organizer starts a new thread (with the same title if necessary) - then PM me and I'll come in and lock this thread so no one else can post on it - and make the new one a "sticky" if that's what you want.

Just gimme a shout if I can be of assistance

Hi BANFAN it's Viva from the furious league, how are you doing buddy?

Looks like we've got a div on our hands

right then guys, after much deliberation, im going for a player with over 100 caps for his country, one of the best goal kickers in the world, a player with pace vision and skill, who covers wing full back and fly half.

CHRIS PATERSON!

sorry for the delay!

Anyone seen inthefastlane today, it's his pick.

Luke I'll report it good choice bathite

yeah good choice - top top kicker, probably the best.

As long as the kick is within 40 metres

viva I don't know you - never been in the furious league and what's 'wum' anyway?
