Whats the story with the weather? It shows a dark cloud and rain in the top part thats always there and then in the pre-match report its showing just clouds!?!? I set my tactics according the other report. I would have set them dif i i had seen that one first. Anyone seen this difference before?

TBH, my team will have almost completely knackered energy levels by that stage, so it wouldn't suprise me if you won.

Well so far, not so good. Have lost my full back and replacement full back to injuries. Stupid WNWIM.:mad:

10 apiece so far.

I must say I'm feeling like a bit of a fool. I assumed I had no chance against Dave's Dangermen so fielded a full 2nd string team and played WNWIM, yet only lost by a converted try. Depending on how my cup match goes I'll be kicking myself over this one.
17 - 24 Dangermen.

Results are up on the offsite.

Won my game 26-6 against dead hard fcukers. Got the bonus too so at am top of my group now with 10 points. I only played normal too and was missing my 2 first choice props. I even had tactics to keep it really tight as it said rain but then changed to dry. Delighted with that

Good win Suppafly. I had to play WNWIM as I am playing a cup match Wednesday. Still there was a silver lining, 3 of my players popped and I had no long term injuries in the game !

I see they have reset every teams LTNT to 100% ?

That is a nightmare for me, I have been very careful using it whereas other teams have been belting away and are now fooked. Extremely lucky break for some. I reckon my cup opposition was on zero LTNT, I may have to play that way now to beat them.

... what.... the.... fupp ?!

I'm preparing myself to get extremely pissed off at this, as I'm sure others are too. Put a lot of effort into keeping my LTNT up for the cup while sacrificing league and BIE Cup... grrr... :mad:

suppafly

Ya me too. I've been just saving it for a number of tough league matches and a leaving it out for the BIE cup. Fairly crap tbh

Surely if they would be on zero LTNT their energy levels would be shot anyway which means they shouldn't LTNT. Although that is very small consolation and by no means a gaurantee.

It also means a major rethink of my carefully worked out strategy for the league as teams I thought would be low on LTNT will now be back up to full.

Luckily myself and Blendage have a WNWIM agreement newly in place for this weekend so the effect of this is lessened on us, but still poor form.

Most of his team are on "exasperated" energy levels. He will definitely use LTNT for this cup game though if he wants to win it.

I should have enough to beat them using normal; I am at home, all my players will be perfect energy, and I am about 100k better off on the CSR front.

I don't like it though.

Only thing about my team at the moment is the form. Hooker average, back-up hooker limited, flyhalf average, centre average. Most of the others are satisfactory. Seriously, my players form only seems to go one way. It's killing me.

Frankiestylee

Actually yeah... hopefully the aul energy levels will be my saving grace. I'm in the process of changing up my line-up but haven't brought the numbers down to 28, this has allowed me to field a complete 2nd string team for the last two games so the whole first team should have some fresh new grooves. Won't last for long though, tis killing me in the wages.

I'm not so sure. Perhaps we should ask the audience

It's actually fixed now.

What a tough loss that was. I was up 21-17 in the 81st minute when the Earth scored a disputed try . Ref went to the TMO but the TMO took too much time to make a decision so the Ref gave the Earth the try. He must of been from Sweden.

The stats suggest otherwise.

Anyway, unlucky.

Beat The Parrish 10-3. Unlucky for the boys, seems to be quite a tight match and he obviously gave me hell... came away with three injuries.
