    Yep, some great value around at the moment. Here are a couple of my recent purchases:

    http://www.blackoutrugby.com/game/club.squad.php#player=9725013

    Both will pretty much pay for themselves over a few seasons even without any individual training.


    I think it's that plus the normal mid-season downswing in prices. As teams get knocked out of the cup, they are trying to reduce numbers, not increase them.

    I'm playing around with the idea of buying a few high-csr players over the next couple of weeks. I reckon the difference in prices between now and week 15 (just before knockouts/qualifiers) could allow me to have them for free :)

    Very clever... If my balance wasn't near 600k in the red I'd join you.


    In other cup related news... half time and I'm 7 up, 19-12 for the Curlies. Oh no, could it be that I've predicted my own match incorrectly :pac:

    Ya you backed me, sorry dude. I think it was the pressure of being favourites. Not used to that tag this season.

    I got 83% last season when I did the massive 64 team review. Damn, I'm slipping. Though when I looked at the text, I did cover my ass a lot, like I said Breifne would have the win if they respected Kilsough (which they didn't) and I thought the only thing holding the Jacks back was their energy (and they just out-classed their opposition regardless.)

    Thought your prediction for my match looked a bit iffy if he ltntd so I used one of my own just to help keep your stats up (staying in the cup was nice too)

    ", I think Marvel is a decent enough leader to get the win out of this. It’s a dilemma, in one way 13′s pack is terribly put together, yet their number 1 is nearly 100k CSR. Have to go with my guts over the numbers here."

    Well I was kinda assuming you'd bust out the TNT alright :)

    "With the decision to remove interest from the game now final; all that's left to do it decide when. Once this is finalised, a public announcement will be made"


    So, Interest is going. So thats a standard 10k a week, isn't it?

    If i understand it properly, Interest will be completely removed the way it currently is, and everyone, regardless of bank balance, will receive 10k per week.

    I might of missed it in the threads, but...

    Just because option A got the most votes doesn't meant to say it will happen. It seems that their using to polls to help them come to a decision, and not basing their entire decision on the polls. Though I hope you're right as my decision to save money this year went out of the window when my balance hit -50k and I could spend again :( 2 Trainers to come in though :)

    The decision to remove interest was made long before the polls went up...

    The only thing keeping me going is the -700k bankruptcy limit. If it was 500 I'd already be gone. :(

    Even if option D got 100% of the vote, interest was still on the way out. Pity. Makes all the saving to this stage pointless for me.

    Think it'll come in start of next season if the new poll has any baring.

    tried a little experiment with a new defense type today, didn't work. ah well, my league is a bit boring this term. 2 Bots, a team about to go bot, a weak enough promotee. Leaves the other 4 of us to battle it out but ultimately, its performance in the playoffs that will count for 90% of the season..means these regular season games are a bit worthless in the long run. Lets me make an error or two along the way!!

    Edit: actually got TNTD, takes away some of the pain.
