Trippie, Dave's code estimated your youth (Joseph Lennon, yes?) at about 21792 and that is usually fairly accurate.

Anyone who hasn't seen it he put an excel file in the U20 S18 section of the offsite with all the irish youths in it.

Meant to say before, great job on that Dave!

TheVoodoo

Any chance of a link to that page? Can't seem to be able to find it!

Sorry that was meant to be S18 U20 page. Excel file is in the zip folder linked in the post of daveharnett's at the end of it http://br-ireland.forumakers.com/t2558p210-youths-scouted-into-acadamies

Scorched Earth is a boards.ie team right?

The name sounds somewhat familiar... I just hope they don't care about a cup run this season

Its Orizio's team (Turenne on offsite) as Js said. He generally seems top like a cup run but this season may feel like sacrificing it to help stay in div 2 which could give you a bit of luck there.

He plays Jp on the weekend though so there is a chance they have a wnwim agreement that may allow him to go all out tonight.

I'm playing a lot of 2nds myself tonight. Decided to conserve energy for the league than push an at best 50/50 shot against City of Derry.

TheVoodoo

Am yet to concede a point in either cup or league. So far so good.

I figure i'll be guaranteed a top 3 finish in the league, even if I drop a game or two along the way, so i'm going to go all out to try(and fail) in winning the cup or atelast make the semis.

Into the final 32, with a game tonoght i think i'll win. Then, if i don't get a top 4 ranked team, i'd fancy making it into the last 8 of my cup. Atleast it's more cash in the coffers.

Have two internationals, one at u20 level, and one at senior. Things are definatly picking up here! Although i'll be in an area of Bosnia for a few weeks with little or no internet, so i'll have to preset in tactics and hope for no injuries to anybody!

Yeah, my team seems to be coming on nicely around the same level. Have to say I've enjoyed training for the U20's even if one hasn't/wont make it.

Hadn't realised you had moved to the Polish league Voodoo, what area of Poland is Monkstown in?

Make sure you set your bench properly so that your team stays ok with an injury. I got stung with that last season while away with a centre starting as hooker as I had an injury to my first and second choice and had the wrong player in as the 2nd replacement.

Edit: Also meant to say that I'll put up your next few fixtures in the boards league in the next day or so as your away so you can accept.

TheVoodoo

Yup, i ( will be in the next few weeks ) moved to Bosnia and Iraq with work, so Poland was a decent option timezone wise between the two.

It's near Kracow.. just beside the bakery. Lovely little spot.

crisco10

Completely slipped my mind to set my team up. Default tactics, default team. :rolleyes:

Sick. :mad:

TheVoodoo

By accident i had set in WNWIM for my game last night, with a very mixed and dodgy team with second rows on the wings etc. Won by a score in the end, but dropped by first points of S14 .


Onwards and upwards though, into the final 16, with prob the weakest team left in the draw. Will be fairly confident of making the last 8 at least.

seanand

out of the cup i rolled over and took it last night but i could of taking him on tnt and def would of got through the next round. he got my leader TheFarmer:p

Trippie

Played 4, won 2, 4 bonus points. Im going to lose my next three games as they are against as the top sides but I am 7 points clear in 4th place.11 points clear of auto relegation. Was not expecting this at all, might just stay up on my first attempt

johnnysmack

Crap! Judging by the stars im after cutting tonights cup game very tight. Come on the B team!!!

TheJims

got busy in work n forgot to set tactics for my cup match, my default is wnwim, and its a match i cud of winning on normal! but i dont see wnwm being enough, craps

johnnysmack

Turns out i was worried about nothing. 0-28 up at half time.

eoferrall

winning 3-21 at halftime, slightly better energy levels so optimistic. was very nervous before hand. was going to bend over, but decided to go normal with a pretty strong team but not full A's so COME ON THE ELAT!:p

TheVoodoo

BR gods have been favorable with the draw! Against the worst team in the draw, that will go bot before the match itself(hopefully) then i can play my seconds at wnwim. Will then be in the last 16 teams, where hopefully i'll pick up a lower seed.

The two top seeds meet in the next round, so providing i don't come across them in the next two games, i'd be confident of my first polish cup final! Although, it'd be a major upset, as the guy is pushing on 30 ranking points above me.

Potential of two games away from a final. Will need to start resting the big guns, and maybe forgo training to save on energy!

eoferrall

annoyed now, 28-3 up minutes into the second half and now losing 31-28. I had better energy and csr wise similar teams, so expected it to be close. but how the match has gone really baffles me. to go 25 pts up and then be losing by 3 and still ahead on stats is weird.:(:confused:

Game over - vitamin G get penalty in last few mins

So annoyed after leading so nicely. had more prematch stars, similar line breaks, half the missed tackles, twice as many metres gained. :mad: ah well focus on the league now.

4 injuries might explain collapse in second half I guess. gutted.

TheJims

i won! bizzare?? 7 tries to 6... he went normal n i went wnwim.. he had a guy with100k+ and a few other lads with much higher csr then my highest with 37k??

I was super interested until I read Polish! :P


Through to the next round anyhows, and the next match looks doable.

johnnysmack

A most interesting game against the league leaders today. I took a chance with WNWIM as was fairly sure he would do the same. So now i have a chance of taking something from this game and still having good energy for tough cup and 2 league games coming up.
