    22-13 win for me away from home.... the other guy's team was better than mine and had 65% possession and territory! I guess he must have played me on normal. Another week of money.... maybe I'll get my academy!

    Got div 2 team. gonna have to come up with a cunning plan to get through this one. a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on the end of it and call it a fox! Still be good to line up against better team and see how the boys stack up. Lets rock!

    Won 76-0 and have decent CSR advantage over next weeks Div III team. I'll be throwing the kitchen sink at him!

    Eventually won 25-0.

    Looks like a fair few boards users are through to the next round, that's always good to see.

    Next I have a much more capable Div 3 team, we're talking old school repeat trophy place Div 3 here... he knows his shiz it seems and the CSR is looking bad for me. Gonna have to kitchen sink it and pray to the rugby gods.

    Just goes to show that it's too hard to lose to a bot... Have my 3rd string props on the wing and at 2nd centre and they're actually scoring tries, tis mad, seems the wingers are like "what's that 33 stone thing slowly moving towards us?" and then when they realise it's too late, like a bloomin' juggernaught with 1 speed and 2 agility :P

    Won 60 - 5.

    Also nice to see that all the boardsie teams in the 4th division are now above the auto promote line (but thankfully none of us are being crazy enough to fight for the top spot :) )

    Took a chance and went with WNWIM away from home and it paid off. won comfortably but failed to get bonus point so im knocked off top of the table for first time this season. Bah, that will have to be rectified.

    Div 4 is pretty damn boring though eh!!

    On the plus side i finally have my finances back on track. Sold my second best player for a staggering 402,000 grandingtons. Currently selling my best player Cian Rabbit. Bid stands at 364,000 if anyone is interested?? Smashing player but has become to big for the team!!

    Also getting a few nice young guys from the acadamy. One of them has begun to score for fun it seems so a couple of seasons of intense training and i should have a monster on my hands!!

    Hope to improve staff and facilities before going back up to division 3. I am only getting over the fact now that i screwed up my relegation qualifier last season. I just presumed i was safe cause i finshed 5th or 6th. Oh well, live and learn and all the rest. Some kick in the nuts though!:o

    Oh it's so boring. At least if things continue there'll be a massive influx of boardsies into Div 3 next season. I'm tempted to try and engineer it so I get back into Div3.3 (just so I can take on my old arch nemesis that seems to be doing quite well for himself now) but the difference between Div3.3 and Div3.1 is too close to effectively manage, so I think I may dip in mid table and get a league in the teens.

    Turns out my plan of trying to take on one of the big guys with ltnt backfired spectacularly, I drew a match I debated ltnting and didn't last week and this weekend lost the match I did ltnt :rolleyes:

    Still 3rd in my league level on points with 4th is where I hoped to be so am happy enough so far.

    III.5 has a bot now as well, a pity I wasted an ltnt on them first game of the season, although not nearly as annoying as for the team in my league who lost to them.

    I still wouldn't mind be nearly guaranteed staying up (even if you come 5th you should have energy and ltnt saved for playoffs). I can see how it would be a bit boring though.

    Up against a Div III team tonight and we look fairly evenly matched. Hoping I have my tactics right. Good luck to the other boardsies tonight.
