    So crisco10 is the only one here having fun midseason? :D

    it's the boring time of BR, though this season is a little more interesting as I am picking my battles to survive! And doing sufficient so far - match the results and I am home and dry! :D

    I'm not embracing the boredom this season, I have to make every match count if I'm to take the top spot going into the play-offs. At best it'll come down to points difference.

    Is there anything my loosehead Andjaba can't do?? He claimed a lineout, then chipped through!
    Andjaba looks casual as he strolls into the lineout.. He nods to Langmore and explodes quickly into the air before the Cork Dragons lineout forwards can react. Easy ball for the Men Who Stare At Goats there... Looks like something creative here from the Men Who Stare At Goats. Andjaba makes a clever diagonal chip through the Cork Dragons line for Paul and Torrazza to chase

    Even more impressive for a prop "explodes quickly into the air":D

    Semi final Crisco congrats.

    Surely not, I'm sure Jp, Orizio or one of the older heads has done it before?

    In reality, this is one of the luckiest cup runs ever. Even today, Cork Dragons got three injuries, I got one. In previous rounds, I have had people lie over WNWIM when I think they could have beaten me and the teams who are ranked ahead of me "normalled"...And league fixtures fell well for energy conservation...

    And thanks Daheff for the tactical info, I sent you a BR mail with my tactics today.

    And one other thing. HAHA STEACYM! :P

    Ugh.

    Playing Stab County. Getting crushed. Really poor show. Used exact same tactics that always beat him (and since he never changes tactics...) and a really similar team. Absolute fail.

    Actually cripples my promotion hopes, oh my.

    I had meant to post a few weeks ago that there were something like 6 boards teams in the top 20 (I had the same shock as you as I was ranked about 15th in Ireland at the time but have dropped back into the 30's now).

    Thought it was cool how well the teams on here are doing and developing from when I started in S6. There are still 5 teams in the boards league this season who are top 20 with Bogwarriors who used to play in there too.

    Actually when checking to see if I did post that I found a thread from 2009 when rankings were brought in where a few teams were ranked in the 80's in Ireland seemed to be the best.

    Another 3 years and we'll control Div 1! :pac:

    I think Polk High got to a semi before and are in the other semi this year (Boards final anyone! :eek:).

    Actually got bored and had a check back to see if I missed Jp or anyone doing it after they stopped posting here as much. Turns out Johnefitz got to the final with Fight Club way back in S9 although I don't think he was around boards then.

    Anyway congrats! And remember (this goes for you too Js) I want my boards final! :P

    Think J has a much better chance than me. Didnt see pre match stars but I need a miracle with the difference in CSR, Energy and Form!

    Sorry guys but the final was just one step too far but the gap is narrowing on the ruffians. Another season or 2 and hopefully can give him a decent game.

    A welcome windfall from my point of view. Looking over your shoulder Orizio? The next couple of weeks will decide a lot.
