Season 33 General Discussion

Yeah your usually terrible turnovers conceded and/or penalties conceded stats didn't hurt you too much and I'd say you had the slight edge there. If you pony up some big dosh for a couple of marquee players (a kicker and a tall backrower with good discipline?...and a proper captain) I think you'll be in good shape for next season.

yep, definitely need another marquee or 2 (or 3) players....im training up Druss the Legend (formally Otoo Mahe) to be my tall back rower - though he is reckless....he will probably slot into the first XV when Dizdaric starts a decline and I decide to lose him to the TM.

My backline is starting a decline. Fullback Raymond has started to drop in CSR so I will sell him in the next few weeks whilst his skills still look good. Ranger is declining, but I will hold onto him for at least the next season (attachment issues). I'm lucky that none of my older backs aren't declining (besides the halfback), but that day will be coming soon....

Some cash in the bank to buy 1 marquee player, hopefully Raymond nets me some decent cash for another younger replacement marquee player...

how is your squad looking for next season?

Not much change.
My captain Zhao has just started to decline so I've put him on the TM. Rosol gets promoted from the bench to the starting XV to replace him and U20 Mallard gets a permanent bench spot. Hughes is losing CSR but I don't think I'll buy a replacement lock for another season. I will buy another kicker to replace Grădinaru or Montañés but may wait until the mid-season bot sale.

Are the Katipos knocking on I.1's door?

Not so much as knocking as ramming the door down.

We will see.    

I believe I have a good chance of winning my II.2 final. But I don't think I will have enough ranking points to go straight up, and a qualification game will always be extremely difficult. Having my star AB, and best player by a longshot, out until late next week, won't make it easier. Looking forward to trying, though.

Clearly someone is checking my posts and considers I could benefit of some training to get an official certificate!!!!!!

Chewy might? I've asked Panth to make a comback.

Good to see sambo and by the looks of it the Katipos in division one next season, almost tempted to move the Bandits back to NZ!

Thank you, looking forward to the challenge!

And yes, you definitely should move over. There are open spots in division III, and then you will auto promote to div II for S35. Just do it!

Well done Donkey. Did it easy in the end. See you next season

I’ve had a look, I can’t.

Nah I ain't spending no more cash on this site until the future of the game is a bit more clear.

Thank you!

Though I cannot say that the games against you are the ones I am looking forward to the most..
