I was going to bring in a couple of youths for the tour after the spanking from Uruguay, but Australia also lost, leaving the door open again lol.

So beat Australia on Sunday away, and hope Namibia lose

Got any hot prospects lined up?

by chewy Tue Dec 11, 2018 8:52 am

Well. After a search, not really. Nothing that could compete straight away.

They are all current u20’s lol.

Druss the Legend is still on 10 sessions

Facepalm

aw c'mon....he is on the right side of reckless, hardly reckless at all.

by chewy Tue Dec 11, 2018 4:31 pm

As long as you don’t sell him whilst on tour

by robelix Tue Dec 11, 2018 5:12 pm

he's a keeper .... got serious attachment issues with Druss

My rebellious first five Arnie English has been there from day 1 Patea Maori Club was founded, 10 seasons ago. Now he's 30 and the end is closer than the begining and I fear the time when he'll need to leave...

I know that feeling and the evil that comes from attachment Sad

Nice wins over Ireland and Uruguay for U20’s.

Tryasta when did you finish with Ireland NT?

by tryasta Thu Dec 13, 2018 5:53 pm

Right after last World Cup QF I took the decision to not run for another term. Then I discussed with the Irish and Safe Hands to do a smooth transition and when Safe Hands won EE.1 in subseason A I thought I could safely quit the team.

by ivelostmysparky Sat Dec 15, 2018 5:05 pm

Then coincidentally Ireland NT went down the shitter straight after Shocked

by tryasta Sat Dec 15, 2018 9:50 pm

I believe current Ireland form is the main responsible for that.
It is the exact opposite to SA u20 Very Happy

by tryasta Sat Dec 15, 2018 9:52 pm

By the way, here you have it: One season ago I said struggle and struggled we have. The prospect of a QF against @Pantherus ' Night Runners is looming in 10 days time... I hope I manage to stay in Div II anyway

Thank you!

We haven't really been tested yet, but it's great to be able to wmwim through the first pool games. Looking forward to the coming rounds.

I've only had two regular starting number 10s in my 28 seasons in the game.
Unfortunately Menzies has just started dropping at just 30 years old... Sad day for my club

by tryasta Wed Dec 19, 2018 11:17 pm

@robelix you are the king of Division I semifinals. Congrats on a very good win yet again.

by chewy Thu Dec 20, 2018 10:55 am

Austin Ferricks would be sad to lose

by tryasta Thu Dec 20, 2018 6:52 pm

Roger. I have $ 7M to avoid that.

@donkeysaint I will be training two u20s for the next cycle and I will train Ferricks as well (If 6-7 millions are enough, of course).

Then, I will be training two more players in Patea, hopefully they are good enough for the u20.

by donkeysaint Thu Dec 20, 2018 7:37 pm

Good to know.

Good luck securing Ferrick's, one of our season 30 U20 world cup finalists. Let's hope we can create a new bunch of them!

by tryasta Sat Dec 22, 2018 10:59 pm

Gonna be difficult. A lot of competition. I hope $7M will be enough

by chewy Sun Dec 23, 2018 8:12 am

If the beers get him he’s all over.

by ivelostmysparky Sun Dec 23, 2018 1:36 pm

Oh right the bears rather than beers. I though you were talking about drunken bidding...

I do have more than $7M with one of my clubs and a training slot open, but would much rather keep that slot open for a U20 player. Will keep an eye on him. Auction closes on xmas day.

by tryasta Sun Dec 23, 2018 5:29 pm

I have training slots for him and an u20 but Ferricks is a favorite of mine, like Naivalu or Birtle.
