I did that at the end of two seasons ago, didnt look like I would stay up so sold the star players, paid for training centre, coaches and stadium rearrangements, technically in a much better position that last time i was promoted but havent scored a single point yet so its looking like it is going to be tough for me. Have three u20 players ocming through start of next season though hopefully
im on 15 pts and hopefully ill pick up another 5 this weekend then rest up till rd8 when the tnts start again, may even get the playoffs. which would be great as itll be tight cash wise, already making a lose without a game of 50k a week

i have been noticing some of the smaller teams taking chances with a LTNT knowing the big team will more then likely be playing WNWIM....the cheeky bastards! :pac:
No way! That's a massive upset, but hugely impressive!
Y'know, you might as well go for a TNT when you're in Div IV with probably one main rival. My most successful cup years were when I had a baby team and were able to TNT bigger teams that only saw the CSR. Of course now my CSR makes the threat somewhat credible, so the trick doesn't work anymore.After struggling through two rough rounds in the cup I was hoping for a nice easy match for next Wednesday. So my next opposition is . . . http://www.blackoutrugby.com/game/tools.live.scoring.php#fixture=9295767
Wow, that is tough, but a Div IV team just beat Mumu, so, go for it!
Ah, had an insane day in work and forgot to set my team for the cup. Got beaten by two tries, so now I'm thinking I could have taken him, but would have been slightly screwed for the league.0 -
Massive game for me this afternoon, head to head against my main rival for the league. If I win, I reckon I'll have a decent shot at winning the league and who knows, if I can get good enough, maybe even promoted (not that that would be a good thing, going by Boards League results), but being in division IV, it usually comes down to just two teams, with only two other human players in the league, but they're both a fair bit off the pace.
Fingers crossed all go's well!!0 -

Its tempting, but I don't have great squad depth at the moment so it might be a better idea to just roll over.
We'll have to see . .0 -

Look to have my third win on the trot in division 2! I think it's actually the first time I have managed to string results together in this division so vry happy. Although my energy will have taken a battering and a half.
30 points clear and bonus point secured. 0 -

Super win congrats.
I broke the cardinal rule. If you're going to LTNT, make sure you win.:(0 -

Im surprised this didnt get any kind of mention at all in the news feed. Its definitely shock of the season if not of the last few seasons and it would have been nice for the Div 4 team, Kenneally RFC, to get the acknowledgement and show other lower tier teams when faced with an insurmountable task that nothing is impossible.0 -

It's Official!!!!:D:D:D
I've just beaten a team in the Top 30 in the country away from home WNWIM!!
Just glad I didn't get home in time to actually set my team:o
Looks like Mighty Maks normalled with his seconds
Excellent win!
That'll teach him to lash out the 2nds, sure isn't it his 1st that are Div II quality. Ah well, sure some lads will never learn

I'm an idiot.
Turns out I don't have Fingal Bears this weekend, I have one of the new lads from div IV.
Which means I could have TNTed with my 1sts in the cups.
Which means I probably would have won and stayed up.
And had a week to recover. Fudge.
Seems my BR season wouldn't be complete without one of these random fcuk ups 0 -

Yeah, I was hoping to push for promotion this season, so, one more match in the cup isn't a big enough disaster. No, I need it to be huge, like accidentally putting my seconds out in the quarter finals.0 -

I think Openside will go bot on Wednesday or Thursday; its been 8 weeks since they logged in. Check it, you could be in luck.
EDIT: Just checked. I make it they'll go bot at 7.16pm on Wednesday evening according to the rules!
I dont think they will go bot straight away. I think there is some batch job that runs daily that botifies (?) teams. I guess it depends on when that job runs:rolleyes:
heres hoping that if u do lose to him I'll get the bot in the next round (if i win) 0 -

Either way, I'm playing my seconds on WNIM, if he goes bot I win, and then I get to TNT you in the next round (hopefully)

Was there something a few seasons ago brought in where if a team goes bot in the first half of the season they'll hang around until the first round of league fixtures are finished (i.e. end of week 7) so the league isn't messed up by some teams playing a human team and others a bot? Although I can't find it anywhere now.
I'm hoping they don't go bot before the weekend. I don't want Gufingolfini to get a free win 0 -

i made that suggestion...i dont think it was accepted. the reasoning was something along the lines of it preventing new managers joining in higher leagues0 -

They are just one of the 3 teams I was targetting finishing above, it's annoying as hell that they get 5 points out of a game I threw. Still it's luck of the draw and I'll just have to stay ahead anyway!i made that suggestion...i dont think it was accepted. the reasoning was something along the lines of it preventing new managers joining in higher leagues
Yeah as Corny said Openside are now bot so it didn't get accepted (or at least not yet implemented).
One more question, is there not a points deduction for a team going bot? I have seem this as a suggestion though, but again thought it was implemented.0 -
