John and MMII, shall we have a WNWIM agreement for our league games this year?

MotherF****r!! My next cup match is against a division 2 team. Stones to it anyway. I was hoping for a half decent cup run!! F**k it!:mad::mad:

ffs i got a Division 2 team as well

Ohwell i suppose i can concentrate on the league and the boards cup now instead

Frankiestylee · 30-10-2009 1:11am

I got a division 4 team for my next cup match. I'd be disappointed if I lost to the lad.

Stupidly went away and didn't change any settings... normal for two unimportant matches = ****e LTNT

Also, for some reason my scrum half was injured and replaced by some random back. Not cool.

ok won 17-3 on normal intensity and about two thirds of 1st team.

Cool, I think I'll be saving my LTNT for the league and hope my slightly better csr and home advantage will be enough if they play ltnt.

Orizio · 30-10-2009 2:37pm

Ok, regarding the three way WNWIM agreement myself, JohnButler and MMII, I think we should agree to remind each other through here or Blackout Rugby (private message, not visitor) a few days prior to the match.

suppafly · 31-10-2009 4:13pm

Losing 0-21 at the mo to Forze Juve after 35min. His team does have a better csr but i thought it would be a closer match than this. I have them playing LTNT too

Oisinjm · 31-10-2009 6:33pm

Went LTNT against a team with greater CSR in my league. Figured I might aswell as the team Im playing in the cup have a far superior CSR.

Won 16 - 7. Pretty happy

corny · 31-10-2009 6:38pm

Good win today against The Rebels. Thought it would be a lot closer too. My openside might have a future at inside centre.

Orizio · 31-10-2009 6:44pm

Just beat the strongest team in Division Three. :cool:

johnnysmack · 31-10-2009 11:06pm

top of div 3, oh yeah!! already my league is divided between top 4 and bottom 4 battle

Gelio · 01-11-2009 12:30am

Won 65-7. That puts me 4th. GET IN THERE:D

mar-z · 01-11-2009 12:54am

Won 35-5 and got my bonus point this week. 2nd in the table and after the first two games moved from 6th to 3rd in league rankings

Looking like a very close league though with 6 teams having a win so far.

Congrats Blendage on a great win as well, Stab County are off the mark!

Ya i dunno how my team lost so badly like. The Rating both are teams got were pretty similar?

Both my props got injured in the match too

. Thankfully one is only out a few days, the other is out for a little over 2 weeks. He got injured in the last play of the game!

I'm confused...did you not beat me...or you got two teams?!

But i thought our match was actually good game...damn your defense though! 4 breaks and 3 tries...me not so clinical!

Congrats! My aim is a respectable mid table finish and strengthen team (and finances!)

Frankiestylee · 01-11-2009 5:39am

Bah! I got destroyed 22 - 45 ! The team were at least double my CSR mostly, but I think my ****-up may have been in my tactics...

... I saw it was torrential rain everywhere so I tried my best to keep it in tight and avoid kicking, but then on the summary it said the weather was perfect! Da ****?! We were playing in my home stadium and damn it sir I can tell you that it should have been a swimming pool. Damn. I genuinely thought with a bit of LTNT, good tactics and home advantage I could take the guy.

Good news though... I'm finally back in the black financially! Hurray!

:pac:

anonymous_joe · 01-11-2009 1:09pm

I'm well on top of my league after two games.

Div IV?

dreamer_ire · 01-11-2009 5:14pm

A second successive loss for me this week. Am struglling in this league big time.... my guys have no where near the CSR rating I need to compete. Oh well avoiding relegation is gonna make it a long season.

The positives this week for me were
1. only being beaten by 10 points by the league leaders
2. winning my first junior match in ages (I've started to invest 50k into my academy)
3. selling a player I brought last year for 9k (and hardly used) for 55k... couldn't believe it!

So my mantra remains avoid relegation (somehow!), develop new players and sort out my finances.

Ah I reckon you'll be grrrrrand. Just pick your battles wisely. Plus with the added Div 3 income you should be able to build up some cash to invest in even better players and then sell off the older ones etc.

Orizio · 01-11-2009 6:43pm

Nah MMII is pretty screwed. Very unlucky to end up in such a brutal group. Possibly its best to play league every game WNWIM, concentrate on the cup and think long term?

U faired better than me. I played forze juve and steam rolled 3-38 for some reason and i was even at home and LTNTing!?! I figured he would win but not by that much. I really don't understand how that match engine works. The reporter summary the teams ratings were pretty much the same too He has a number of players better than mine but not loads

Good news though... I'm finally back in the black financially! Hurray!

:pac:

Ya me too. My expanded stadium is bringing in more much needed cash

Not so sure Frankie... it's a tough group as Orizio says, if I pull off a miracle and avoid relegation this season I'll end up in the same boat next season. Am seriously outclassed.

Interesting idea... cos this will build my in-game training? Still don't know if I could just roll over though. Does the revenue from the cup matches increase with the number of games played or it it consistent throughout?

Have a few days before I decide I guess, gonna have a think about what I need to do to stay up and whether or not it's doable. Does make a change on a Sat wondering how the game went instead of being fairly assured of securing a BP winb and just wondering by how much!

Thanks mar-z, that win was needed.

You are already placing a claim to a top four place with your strong start.
Interested to see if you can take The Hookers in your next game.

I don't think I will, its been a good start but I'm picking and choosing my battles this season.

I'm not sure that I can beat The Hookers away from home even with LTNT so think I'll be playing normal to maintain my LTNT and get my energy back up.

Gelio · 02-11-2009 1:07pm

Thats the attitude!;)

Frankiestylee · 02-11-2009 2:02pm

Oh I always forget who has what team... poor poor Munstermark 2, ye came so far and a dee daa daa, ladadee da deee da zu za la la (that's my Take That impression.) (just so ya know) (ho ho)

I still think a bit of psychology can take ya a long way. If you get a rep of being a WNWIM hoor, then a team that should be playing you at normal may knock it down to WNWIM thinking you'll do the same and then POW here comes the LTNT train! Yowza!

Yes. I'd suggest mixing WNWIM and LTNT for the first half of the season, and see how you do.

Realistically though, it will take you (and me) years to get out of this league.
