    Surely pitting yourself against equal and better teams means you learn more, especially with the tactics evolving the way they are, you could find yourself left behind after a season of playing teams you can beat even with crap tactics.

    Still have the boards league and the cup. And its not like they are all dirt. I'll have to break out the quality tactics every now and then.

    EOF while I would get more IGT for my trainees in Div I, I wouldnt be able to actually play them to get that IGT. Can you imagine my new 40k csr second row up against some 300k beast. I would be forced to play my older out of date guy.

    Big game tomorrow in our league batai v men who stare at goats,these side had a great tussel in their last game which ended in a draw,the prize here is to avoid Monivea and get an easier passage to the league final ,it should be a thriller again in which im just sideing with batai by a few points ,the other games are front row fairies against munster and front row will be hoping for the win to secure the 4th place qualifying spot ,curley sues death squad have a slim chance playing the bot but depend on munster turning over front row faries ,my prediction for the semis are MONIVEA (home) v Front Row Fairies and Batai(home ) v MWSAG

    Right so, just back from a nearly two season of barely logging in hiatus.

    I really have to have a tactics rethink. We've had substitutions and zonal tactics introduced since I was last playing properly. Have a feeling I could get sucked right back in.

    Also, I realised a couple of weeks ago that I am now one of those teams I used to hat getting relegated to division 3. Somehow I now have 6 players >200k csr. When did that happen?! I really have to stop thinking of myself as the little guy who was delighted to finally get a player over 100k csr.:pac:

    Thank God you are back, I can stop worrying that you will go bot and we end up losing literally our only almost NT standard lock

    Yeah, most of my trainees are passing the 100k mark and I'm still in the "sure I'm just a scrappy underdog fighting against the man"

    I have a nice fat boy in my YA. Gonna train him up to be a wunderkind of the future. Unfortunately he'll come out at completely the wrong time for any U20 action. :(

    Thanks. Alive and kicking, although my team might have been doing better than if I was actually in control of things!

    So I managed to secure second spot in my league at the end of regular season, and incidently, the team I beat away in the last round, I will host in a home semi. Really hoping I can make it to the final. I haven't a hope of winning it, but second place would be a great result for me.

    Weirdly though, I can't see myself pushing for DIV.II promotion any time soon. :(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭seanand

    I wonder does Johnnysmack know that his auto relegation has been stopped due to The Ruffians getting a penalty points deduction for going bot! Johnny now has a playoff to stay up! I hope he logs in and notices it in time, anybody got his email address to let him know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭greyhound1973


    with any luck he wont log on again until new season and has auto set his line-up to wnwim ,at least that would give us second division team a little chance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭greyhound1973


    a very special good luck to daheff tomorrow night in the league play-off semi final against monivea ,may the best team win ,but i must admit i have my homework done on you daheff


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    Best of luck to all play-off participants tonight. My entire season comes down to this one game, so fingers crossed I can get over the line, it's going to be extremely tight!

    thanks mate. im not very confident of winning my semi but if i do id be more confident in the final


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    49 - 0 up after the hour mark. I think it's safe to say I'm going to the final!! :D

    Expected a tight game, but I'm not complaining!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭greyhound1973


    Monivea 39 Front Row Fairies 3 ,monivea book their place in the final with a deserved victory ove FRF,it was close enough at the break with the teams tied at 3 points a piece but monivea showed their strength in the second half ,interesting game awaits in the final against Men Who Stare at Goats


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭seanand

    Thx GH. It was close for most of first half, but I think your guys were the better team overall. Good luck in the final...and good luck to Crisco too.

    I still think MWSG will win (sorry GH)

    That purple star in stamina really made a difference in the second half.

    Can't believe I won by so much, could have spared the ltnt. Weird one. But glad to be in the final anyway. That was really my goal all season.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    VD Ruffians are no more.

    Just noticed they went bot. :(

    Well, at least I got to play them and my fans got to see the legends in the flesh when they thumped me out of the cup :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭greyhound1973


    yeah crisco ,think the stamina stood to my guys alright ,looking forward to our game already

    Haha some chance. Tempted to play my trainees so they get lots and lots of IGT. :)

    thanks daheff,doubt it very much crisco you will put ur trainees out ,even see you bought a 183k csr fella last night on the transfer market ,pity he is on limited form though ,should be tight be i reckon monivea by about 10 points ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,317 ✭✭✭crisco10

    Yeah limited form makes him more of a next season purchase. But for €12k or whatever it was, it was a bargain too good to turn down.

    I reckon by the age of him ..it'll ONLY be next season :confused: still for 12k (& 256K in wages) its not a bad signing!


    Now as I've said I reckon MWSG will win the playoff....but regardless of who wins, i hope neither of you get ideas and look for promotion!! We've got a nice little divisional rivalry going between us all....but if one of you feckers leaves and we get landed with Simpletons or Polk high...well I for one will be very upset with you guys:cool:

    Hand on heart, I have no notions of going for promotion! lol lambs.to.the.slaughter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭greyhound1973


    to be honest i think whichever of us who wins the final will have too big a task to overturn simpletons for div 1 status,so i bet we will both be here next season

    That league sounds like good banter. I'll have to move back to Ireland sometime!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭seanand


    thats a very good bargain even if hes dropping tho fingers crossed you get 2 seasons or so out of him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭mar-z


    Yay back in division II next season! :D

    Although I am going to have to start on a bit of a rebuild next season as some of my players are getting old in my time away from the game.

    Now for the excitement of wondering what division I will be promoted to!

    Hope things went well for everyone else

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭greyhound1973


    hard luck crisco,to be honest i think my stamina plus enery advantage counted for alot,looking at your team before the game i thought you had a good chance today but no doubt you will be here for revenge again next season,now im off to the transfer market to try a bag me a few bargins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭greyhound1973


    Simpletons 24 Monivea 12

    well guys im back again to our division 2 for another season ,would have missed the banter to be honest,we lost the play-off today but i hope i did our league proud ,my guys were 24 points to nil down at half time but we kept our heads up and brought it back to 24 -12 at full time ,to be honest simpletons defence was immence but at least we scored two tries ,wonder who is going to join us from division 3 it should be interesting
