Season 28 Discussion

thanks for the commiserations and good luck to all ya offsiters remaining! (with the exception of razor, you dont need any luck)

cant complain too much....everyone has to lose at some point during the cup season (except for one lucky bas*&d)....im in some good company, Excelsior also lost out, though it was also to a good team. my only regret is that i dont get to see how many tries Ranger could have finished with

anyway, i really think im living on borrowed time now...unless i get some unreal bids on my two players...i think i will be happy if i can bring in 1.5 mil for them both

FWIW I CAN filter out bot matches when collating these records

Oh cool, two sets of single-game records would be interesting -- human vs bot and human vs human.

hey Panth, do you know why some clubs have been deleted? That might screw things up? Example

When it comes to really old matches like that, you're most likely looking at lost/corrupted historical data that's just not recoverable

so with the very recent call-up of Seedhouse, so who would have thought it....3 Hercufleas players in the NZ national team! (to be fair, 1 of them i didn't train and bought - but still!)

Never saw it coming Rob. Who was it that used to give you shit all the time about having no NZ players? Chewy? ptt?

Mostly Smellystuff I think

Just gave everyone in my Economists affiliate an economics term for a nickname.

Quality GIF.

Fun fact: I got 100% in the 4th form economics, but I didn't take it in 5th form.

What a waste. You could have been the next Robert F. Engle.

I got 98% in my mid-year exam for 4th-form Maths, went straight up to School Cert and got an A.

Did 6th-form-cert in 5th form and got a 1

Did Bursary Calculus in 6th form and got an A

So.



I failed SC maths twice. The second time I got less than the first because I did it at night school and there were a couple of hunnies in the class that kept me busy.

Haha! Nice one

If that's the trend, I will nickname every player in my affiliate with names of cosmology/astro-physical concepts:

blackhole (for a fetching number 7)
inflation (for a first five)
Megaparsec (for a 206 cm lock)
dark matter (my centre)
graviton (for a massless prop)
redshift (my winger)
neutrino (my hardly ever interacting number 8 )
...

Cup tonight. Hoping for a good performance from my lads here against Adian's Sport Academy, if they can win this game then it'll be the furtherest they've ever gone. It's been a good season for the Cup for me. My Dutch team has had their best ever season in the cup though they will be bowing out this week.

Quick predictions for tonight...

Mighty O's v Melville RFC, Melville easy.

Linkin Hawk 15 v Wellington Taniwha. Big spender Linkin Hawk 15 has about double the CSR average of the Taniwha. Win for Linkin Hawk 15.

Barbecued Duck v Aidan's Sports Academy, hopefully me. Home and Energy advantage here.

Freedom v St Oak Stabbers, tough one to predict. I'm going to predict St Oak Stabbers here.

Rage Against the Latrine v Sumo's Revenge, Rage gotta keep raging.

Millennium Falcons v Mud Dogs, rough season for the Falcons so far but should still win this.

Warwooville v Sparker, Sparker.

Innocent Dingo's v Green Bay Gremlins, could be an interesting one. Think I'll give a small edge to the Dingo's here.

Mufasa v Elbanditos, I'll go with Elbanditos here but Mufasa could still steal it.

FRuity Oenological Gastronomes v Riverdale Old Boys, FROGS.

Fellas v New Lynn Red Sox, Red Sox.

Norse Viking's v WuhC, match of the round? Probably have to go with WuhC here despite being the away team. Much better energy situation and no injuries.

Foxton Foxes v Okaiawa, actually this is probably the match of the round. First game of a double-header this week as they face off in a top-of-the-table clash in the league this weekend. Going to go with a Fox victory here.

King's XV v The Replacements, should be King's XV here.

Morgan's Manglers v Los Lobo, should be Los Lobo. Though I wonder if the Manglers might fancy their chances here?

The Night's Watch v Gunslingers, I'm throwing a coin on this one. Going with the Gunslingers.

Good luck bren and to the other offsiters

Nice work Bren.

Happy to report a major boil over for the Fellas.

Maybe the cubs biggest scalp!

Roll on the last 16.

some great action tonight....well done fellas. Saw you down against buccaz and assumed that was that...great final 20!

Linkin Hawk almost blew it.....some handy subs from halftime saved them, try near the end saw them snatch a lucky 2 point win.

less than 12 hours to go until Paul Patterson and Taine Leaper leave the Herk club for good....every departing Herk legend deserves their own news article on the club lobby.....

It's very kind of you to share this talent with all managers.
Don't be too shocked if some of their tries in the next seasons are scored also against Hercufleas

Attention everyone!

Does anyone know Matt (of Excelsior) in real life? He is due to turn bot and it would be a shame if it were due to forgetting to log in rather than wanting to leave BR.

He has self suspended.
