Cheers discobandit.

6 players for the ML and just 2 for the AP so far.

I'd appreciate it if a mod could sticky this until the season starts, since the more the merrier.

Nope.

Up to 14 now for the ML, keep them coming. The AP is proving less popular.

***BUMP****


disappointed with your lack of a 'mission statement' Thomond!!


C'mon lads, join up!! This could be a bit of craic.

Excellent, a place where I can give my real opinion on Sexton.

thomond2006

Up to 18 in the ML, still only 4 for the AP.

C'mon lads, how many regular posters do we have here? I'm surprised at the lack of interest tbh.

outwest

i chosed not to do av

thomond2006

dave13

joined the ML one. Might join the AP one but i don't follow it that much

tolosenc

Looking forward to defending my two crowns from last year!!! There was a big entry for the Magners last year but the vast majority seemed to lose interest/forget relatively early. The fact you can enter 5 mini-leagues now may help keep more interest in the competition. I'd expect a good few entrys next week as well as the season comes nearer and people start to look for prediction/fantasy games.

There is a prediction league for the French Top 14 on www.predictionrugby.com The first two rounds were excluded so it'll only start this weekend. The site is a small operation and not as polished as Sportguru or any of them and the numbers competing are relatively small but it covers most of the major competitions and the scores are usually updated very quickly.To create an account simply login by clicking on the new user button and its fairly simple from there. You may need to edit your profile every so often to enter any new leagues that start.

Ok so to liven this up i will throw in €200 worth of Makita Power tools to the winner.

Awesome! Do you work for them buck?

Seriously though, fair play!! Not sure I've much use for power tools but if gets people to take it more seriously this year, then brilliant!

I assume you mean for the Magners League pool? Got to be sure when there's money involved.

buck65

Yeah the Magners League. I work for a supplier that sells these tools and can wrangle free stock now and again for special occasions/ charities etc.

You'd be surprised at the range of stuff available from garden to DIY to heavy construction tools.

There is always a use for power tools! You just need to use your imagination more.

I've joined the ML one. First time doing a prediction pool so naturally I expect to be first

thomond2006

Up to 25 now in the ML, that's more like it.

Keep them coming lads, there's power tools involved now...:p

conf101

Just joined both! Think I came 3rd in the Magners last year. Wonder if I can top that?

SomeFool

I'm in

Makita are no ordinary power tools either, they're quality! I'm actually going to take this seriously now!!!

Danger_dave1

just joined up, good luck to all !

thomond2006

That brings us up to 32 in the ML and 7 in the AP. Great stuff!

If everyone holds their interest till the end of the season, this could be awesome! And a prize at the end...

thomond2006

34 in the ML, 7 in the AP.

Keep them coming, let's hit 50! (for the ML that is )

thomond2006

Right, let's get those predictions in!

I'll probably till I see the teams but I'm thinking Leinster, Ospreys, Connacht, Treviso, Cardiff and Munster to win this weekend.

durkadurka

How many now thomond? And what's the deadline?

This is a thinly disguised bump...

funky penguin

Started this last year, but completely flaked out at christmas.

Sure we'll have another go!

P_1

Started it last year then completely forgot about around Easter. Think I was leading the Heineken one by the end of the pool stage.

Who won them in the end?

EDIT: 1,000th post, do I get a prize??

thomond2006

I didn't get a prize, what gives? :mad::pac:

We've made 40 in the ML and 9 in the Premiership! Awesome!

For anyone not signed up, it's still not too late to join!

amacachi

Joined there, I'm faloonzer. Missed a match damnit.

durkadurka

Thomond, you're beautifully poised in 42nd place, ready to pounce!!.Remarkable given there's only 40 teams in it.

Says he smugly, as he treasonously predicted the defeat of his own team....

thomond2006

Daycent.

durkadurka

By the way you should all check your profile on this site, most of the info you put into your profile is publicly viewable.

Also respect to the culk with a near perfect score.

thomond2006

I made a decent recovery in the ML. Shocking so far in the AP!

+1, well done culk.

If anyone hasn't joined yet, please feel free to do so!

funky penguin

AAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!


Hahahahahaha!


All I can say is, I can't fall any more :pac:

tolosenc

Last year's grand finalists screwed me over...

thomond2006

Get those picks in!

Newcomers are still welcome!

Podge_irl

I apologise for bumping this but I'm pretty sure this is the only time I'm ever going to be top of the league so I wanted to gloat Huzzah!

The week's not over yet podge. I have my eye on those power tools...

thomond2006

Well done to my good mate Risteard on winning the yellow cap i.e. best predictor of the week.

Alright, I think I will stop taking new entrants after the end of next week's games. I don't think it's fair that people with high scores "jump in" as it were. If anyone disagrees with this, make yourself heard.

So if anyone wants to join in, join in ASAP please.

To everyone else, keep up the interest! Only 8.5 points between top and bottom!

I'm not for or against it either way but those who do jump in don't get any of the bonus points fromt he pool from the rounds they have predicted.

durkadurka

I'm just wondering if people could have several accounts and they use them to enter several combinations - take the munster game last weekend - it was a real 50/50 on paper.

True.

I hope nobody has done that, pretty pathetic tbh.

buck65

I have 5 accounts. Just in case I lose and have to shell out for power tools!
