Evidently I'm in the pool with JohnButler and such other losers, no doubt I will kick ass.

How is everyone else anticipating their group?

daveharnett

dave's dangermen have a nasty habit of beating me. I'd make them favorites for pool 3.

Orizio

You'll destroy him Dave, Dave doesn't know what the **** he is doing. Go Dave!

dave13

I'd reckon Curly Sue Death Squad will be the favourites for Pool 3. My Dangermen are already in a tough league but with my cup draw I may not be in that too long.. Be interesting this year with a lot more teams in Div.3 and unable to concentrate solely on the cup due to a handy league

I hope that's sarcasm... I'm pretty sure I didn't even get near winning the loser cup last year

Unfortunately, Raging Bulls has failed to accept his fixtures despite numerous visitor and private messages, so we'll crack on without him. All games involving Raging Bulls in League/Pool 4 have been cancelled, the opposition get the victory automatically.

Templeouge Seniors, alright for WNWIM on Monday?

You can crack on with a friendly for tomorrow if you like.

Everyone in the league gets the 'free' points, so I don't seen any benefit.

Templeogue 0 Scorched Earth 34 HT.

How's everyone else doing?

MMII 10 Yerman 0 HT

Pretty evenly matched so far

johnnysmack

wandering wanderers 10-36 polk high on 50 minute mark. quite happy with that considering i thought id lose!

dave13

Bogwarriors 7-7 Daves dangermen. Even, cagey game, but the injury count so far is pretty bad.

Effluo

The score with 15 minutes to play, Parrish 7 - 10 East Coast Tinders

I'm playing WNWIM and have my worst possible team out, it would be a travesty if i were to win soz Parrish...

I have 5 players under 1500csr on and 6 more with less than 6k csr.

Wow they really need a kicker! lol

Wow sorry whoever manages the Parrish, I've actually imbarrassed you! lol

I'm giving the teams with the walkover a 20-0 victory, and the four try bonus point. This seem reasonable?

Dang, now I feel bad... pretty sure I only have 2 players over 1500csr on my starting line-up!

Beat Totally Rucked, but I reckon he was WNWIM and I was LTNT (was on 100% so might aswell.) Doubt I'll be in the situation of knowing I've a bot in the cup again.

I was trying some stuff out too, and playing WNWIM [aren't all games WNWIM?]

From the stats it looks like one of the worst games ever played

Haha dunno what happened my lads, had a few 2nd string guys in but even still. Not happy, maybe it was cause of the LTNT from the weekend

Flip it! Just in from work and totally forgot to set my team!!

Ah well.

Orizio

Making up excuses for your impending defeat already John...?

Grow a backbone man!

JohnButler

Ha ha, you wait for our league match Orizio. Have i got a treat for you!!

suppafly

Whats the story with the weather? It shows a dark cloud and rain in the top part thats always there and then in the pre-match report its showing just clouds!?!? I set my tactics according the other report. I would have set them dif i i had seen that one first. Anyone seen this difference before?

TBH, my team will have almost completely knackered energy levels by that stage, so it wouldn't suprise me if you won.

Well so far, not so good. Have lost my full back and replacement full back to injuries. Stupid WNWIM.:mad:

10 apiece so far.

Now now Orizio. Be nice.:p

Frankiestylee

I must say I'm feeling like a bit of a fool. I assumed I had no chance against Dave's Dangermen so fielded a full 2nd string team and played WNWIM, yet only lost by a converted try. Depending on how my cup match goes I'll be kicking myself over this one.
17 - 24 Dangermen.

daveharnett

Results are up on the offsite.

suppafly

Won my game 26-6 against dead hard fcukers. Got the bonus too so at am top of my group now with 10 points. I only played normal too and was missing my 2 first choice props. I even had tactics to keep it really tight as it said rain but then changed to dry. Delighted with that

jprender

Good win Suppafly. I had to play WNWIM as I am playing a cup match Wednesday. Still there was a silver lining, 3 of my players popped and I had no long term injuries in the game !

I see they have reset every teams LTNT to 100% ?

That is a nightmare for me, I have been very careful using it whereas other teams have been belting away and are now fooked. Extremely lucky break for some. I reckon my cup opposition was on zero LTNT, I may have to play that way now to beat them.

... what.... the.... fupp ?!

I'm preparing myself to get extremely pissed off at this, as I'm sure others are too. Put a lot of effort into keeping my LTNT up for the cup while sacrificing league and BIE Cup... grrr... :mad:

suppafly

Ya me too. I've been just saving it for a number of tough league matches and a leaving it out for the BIE cup. Fairly crap tbh

Surely if they would be on zero LTNT their energy levels would be shot anyway which means they shouldn't LTNT. Although that is very small consolation and by no means a gaurantee.

It also means a major rethink of my carefully worked out strategy for the league as teams I thought would be low on LTNT will now be back up to full.

Luckily myself and Blendage have a WNWIM agreement newly in place for this weekend so the effect of this is lessened on us, but still poor form.

Most of his team are on "exasperated" energy levels. He will definitely use LTNT for this cup game though if he wants to win it.

I should have enough to beat them using normal; I am at home, all my players will be perfect energy, and I am about 100k better off on the CSR front.

I don't like it though.

Only thing about my team at the moment is the form. Hooker average, back-up hooker limited, flyhalf average, centre average. Most of the others are satisfactory. Seriously, my players form only seems to go one way. It's killing me.

Frankiestylee

Actually yeah... hopefully the aul energy levels will be my saving grace. I'm in the process of changing up my line-up but haven't brought the numbers down to 28, this has allowed me to field a complete 2nd string team for the last two games so the whole first team should have some fresh new grooves. Won't last for long though, tis killing me in the wages.
