Season 28 Discussion

Throwing out a pltnt vs chewy today...not sure if it will be enough, specially with my fullback out injured. My record with defending the ranfurly shield is abysmal, let's see if that can improve today...

WuhC vs Monkey Nuts looks interesting in division one. Monkey Nuts has the slimmest of chances to make the playoffs while WuhC is looking to secure second spot. Stars, csr, energy all nearly identical.

Damn. Rough way to lose. All level at 30 points all, chewy is right on the try line when he concedes a penalty, Hercufleas takes a tap -- only to concede a penalty themselves a phase later. Easiest shot in the world for the Melville kicker.

Oh well, with Monkey Nuts and the Red Sox both losing we're now mathematically guaranteed playoffs with Melville, Sparker, WuhC, and Hercufleas United.

U went normal rob. Mistake? I was expecting the loss and wasn't too fussed as I had a buffer. Rob you really are losing games without a kicker

chewy, the worst thing is not the loss...

... the worst thing is having to bear with the advices coming from the winner's camp

suck it up big boy, you got your bot next week. Which makes me think the normal was a mistake

Ranfurly Shield website website updated. Congrats, chewy.

Melville RFC just needs to defend against the Millennium Falcons on round 14 to retain it for the season.

Dammit...normal was a mistake...I was sure I locked in a pltnt...

I do have a kicker now, rus ndumafayo is a respectable 18 skill...just not quite the complete player, still working on training him up...

Left some points out there today. Well mate, you gotta win that last game now to clinch a home semi and hope Sparker or Greg mucks up.

Just made a massive noob move by putting a 100k auto-bid on a player with the wrong team

Selling up over next couple of weeks. Don't have the patience to play into next season and it's a very important Summer on the road to my early-retirement. BR is worse than heroin (the really good stuff ) and if I have to work harder to win games I'll not be focused on what needs to be done. If anyone wants a player and to put the auction at a specific time just mail me. 

Only one that's interested in buying 35 year olds is chewy mate.

You mean in the game or in RL?

I have some classic reports filed away on my computer...might drop them into a new thread on the BRNZ lounge every week...trip down memory lane....

Just went through and expanded my three stadiums, my US club is experiencing huge growth (On average 32 members per week for the season).

So who has the shield, and why is it not in my cabinet!!!!

It's not a trophy in your cabinet but here it's clearly shown who's the current holder

Assigned it to you now Senor Grumpypants

Haha. Senor Buccaz said you could do it

Thank you panties.

lol

Yeah, it's just part of the NZI trophy list. Actually to that end, Bren and ILMS can do it too

Oh right you are. Had no idea it was associated with the NZI.

If you hover of it in the trophy cabinet is says "New Zealand Invitational Ranfurly Shield". Was it originally only associated/awarded with the NZI or something?

Monday friendlies anyone? Barbecued Duck and the Economists keen for games.
