Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
Congrats Jaff - seeing you got 0 points from Gallen and still won, I'd say that's a fair result.
Zillman trade already cost me 1 competition point.

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
to be fair, if I traded Jared WH and kept Lawrence I still would have taken it...just
Still says interim but. I am getting nervous!
Some volatile scores out there for round 1. It's going to be anyone's competition until round 10 me thinks where injuries and SHB fatigue sets in.

Possibly the worst team I've ever had. And that's saying something. Big changes are needed.

Yeah that is a shocking team timmah. I haven't even heard of 3 or 4 of your players.

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
Not bad for a lifeless team that you were hell bent on embarrassing - and the log of hood stays where it belongs, with space being made for the T-Z trophy.
Would have been a travesty of justice had your mob got up, the better team won.
That said, what you see is pretty much all you get - team selection very easy right now.

Cheeky fucker! Make sure the next idiot challenges him for the log.
Don't expect Albert Kelly to our score Barba, Milford and Johnson (as kicker) combined very often. Or Cam Smith drop goals to cause a 6 point turn around in coaches points.

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
We questioned the log, sweet FA, SOH, and how to make it more relevant - but you would have heard a blow up from me if we killed them.

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
So we are killing the log and the best of the rest - I'm not sure I agree with this. The whole point of these comps were giving some of the shitter teams a lucky chance I get a 3rd pp and keep them interested.
I'm ok with changing things - but we need to replace the things we are getting rid of, or just get rid of the 3rd PP altogether.
I personally like playing for a 3rd PP.
Maybe we could do a 3 match series for your 3rd pp based on the results of your round 4, 13 and 22 matches. Whoever wins the head to head gets one. That sets up rivalry rounds that change every year and means that round 22 will be even bigger for most teams.
C'mon self appointed commissioner - how we gonna replace these chances for a 3rd PP

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
I've got a theory for the Log, will try post it later today. Also, how is Sweet FA not working? And if we're killing SOH, I'll be pissed. I made some specific selections for that.
Don't mind your idea Ben, even if it does pit me against the Zooms.

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
So BOTR is gone, the log is trying to be sent the same way, 3rd PP is an extra player in the draft...
If you aren't an elite team this year you're fucked next season because they are the only ones who have a realistic chance of the 3rd PP (There is still SOH i guess.) It'll be a meritocarcy, which is fair, but also the haves vs have nots.
I am now going to try and figure out a conspiracy theory in which commish Sippid is a nefraious Putinesque type trying to consolidate his position of strength with the help of some kremlin styled lackeys. Already im pretty sure it was him who rang up the broadcasters asking for extra camera angles on the SBW hit and getting him suspended, the bastard.
And yes, it is a slow day at work here.

Lost my first game last year too... and my first two the year in 2012 before a 14 game streak and come to think of it, i think i lost my first in 2011 as well. Two troties and a mp/gf in that time. I should lose more often!
And looking at my team i probably will...

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over

You're not the only one with channel 9 on speed dial
I thought our upcoming game could do with a more level playing field. Then i saw the rest of your forward pack and now i am sad. Snaking Danny for Ma'u was a premium cunt move btw, you should feel good about that.

Yeah I was pretty happy with that snake. The old wait for Danny to go to bed then drop a player trick. Works everytime.

No, I saw it, but figured if you took Ma'u, I'd pick up your number 5 draft pick for minimum +1k. After all, i know how much you aussies love your convicts.

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
Well, i had no idea if you had gone for Ma'u, and he could be good all year, or he could have just been up for it against his old club. Worth a punt, not worth dropping one of my top 6.
And agreed about the Tigers winger situation, but Nofo must be top of that pile, on last year's form anyway.

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
Oh he's good alright, but Nofo's a freak. Unfortunate for the Tigers that they don't seem to have a fit kicking replacement for Pat, as i'm sure Potter would love both of them on the field.

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
Richards will be first choice - he's a club hero. Surely Nofo will get the 2nd spot eventually?

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
I heard he pushed / hit a chick at Jason Clark's wedding, which was in Bali. Eels didn't want to do anything about it because he was still a Rabbits player at the time, but the NRL forced their hand.
How close am I?

Re: Round 1: The honeymoon is over
very close Danny. It was definitely overseas and under Bunnies contract. Spoke to an Eels bloke, he said they'd have suspeneded the whole sentence if they could but the intergity unit wouldn't have a bar of it.
