    Well I'm getting well and truly spanked by now!! :D

    True. The main difference between the sides seems to be the set piece. I was suprised that you leave Aitken on the bench tbh (although I obviously have no idea of his stats). Also your line-out is a major weak point considering mine isn't that great either.

    If you have the money I'd try get in a decent lock as that would improve things for you immensly imo.

    Also on top of all that I'd like to think that I gained something from my 10 seasons managing Grubber! And this is by no means a hammering in br world!

    Edit: ha as i typed you turned over a lineout and scored, told you that improving your lineout would work wonders :p

    Good day at the office. Two bonus point wins.

    Grubber 53-9 against MWSAG and EE 17-33 against Blue Magic.

    :D

    Must say I'm quite happy with that, I expected to lose by a much bigger margin. And since I was playing around with my setup, I now have to go back to the drawing-board and figure out if my usual setup is the right one! :rolleyes:

    Excellent bit of excitement in the boardsie league now, it'll keep me going while the league/cup is a bit easy-going at the mo.

    It's a hard bug to shake. At least boards has a good support group here for those of us terminally afflicted.

    And I never mind people doing my work for me! :D

    Already marked on the calendar. I couldn't sleep last season when you won 39-0.:D

    First ever draw in BR last night against Dreados. 16 - 16.

    Looking at the stats I had 8 line breaks but only 1 try, time for more weetabix for everyone.

    Yeah good points, I might try and switch around the pack a bit to get Aitken in there to improve the scrum. My second row is definitely my weak point though! Something I've been looking to work on. Good game though, maybe by the return leg I can turn a few things around and overturn the result :)

    Having a really good game with Slashers. 7 - 5 down at half time. His team is significantly better than mine, so presume he has some of his second string out, but really have punched above my weight fine tuning my tactics. My 10 missed a conversion in front and I blew 2 consecutive try opportunities 5 metres out and line out is still crippling me, but away from home, very happy with that first half. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,806 ✭✭✭corny


    Lost to a penalty in the last minute against Scorched Earth. Still, two points away from home isn't bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    Despite losing 11 lineouts against the throw, lost 10 - 5. Feel like I could have won that with a second row and better handling skills. Also my captain turned down three or four kickable penalties, opting instead for the corner - followed by losing lineouts on the line multiple times. Oh well, just don't have the players yet, but happy with the progress being made. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,108 ✭✭✭johnnysmack


    Sh*t! Never realised Mauling bear had gotten so much better. Just about got away with a 10-16 win away from home. maybe i should start scouting teams again! :pac:

    It's always satisfying to be able to track definitive progress, great sense of satisfaction!

    Fair play to her, she has a great team now. I'll be more wary in the future.

    You really put it up to me, fair play! I had a few rested, simply cos others hadnt been playing at all with cup and M&S cup.. Return leg will be very difficult!
