You have to put your password in first to be able to change your e mail apparently.

Poor Bathite

Why are you taking money off my budget Pooly?

Am I that much of threat to you?

Budgets arnt set in stone mate, I'm just trying to keep the league level. Take no notice of what it says above

Fixture list is up! Subject to change depending on when we start and if we can get a cup going

I may have missed this but in a rush.

Will the 11/12 season be full length and then we start next season (12/13) in line with AP fixtures?

Be looking to run a short one then start new next season Steve

Right lads.....I'm looking at trimming initial squad sizes to 40 and academies of 15.

I'm going to change the acadamy age to 22 on 1 Sept 11.

I wouldn't worry too much about the players in your academy as I'm going to make players upto the age of 20 on 1 Sept 11 exclusive to your squad.

Any player over this will have to be bid on but you will have first refusal at 0.5m.

I'll adjust rules as needed

Need to trim 10 off mine

When domestics open?

Toulouse cruising. Anyone noticed Pape's try scoring form for Stade

After the drafts, need to make sure we've all got squads set first

I like the look of David Possouw and Cirby Joane,, might sign them up

Richie McBurger

Definitely considering a bid for Thierry 'Mad Cow' Moodautoir

Northampton by the looks of it are crushing Bath, anyone watching it atm?

Yea Bath are dire.

They are struggling as of late lol. How is PDJ doing?

Getting on top of Flatman in scrum but its Baths lineout that's the shambles. I don't know what Donald is getting paid but it's 99% too much

I'm not surprised, Bath don't really have an out and out lineout technician. Although I rate Attwood.

Donald is their higest earner isn't he?

I don't think PDJ is getting on top of Flatman myself Pooly. I'd say its honours even tbh same with Tonga and Wilson.

I thought it might be a big saints scrum today so a bit surprised.

He was initially, got 2 straight pens (first 20) not so much now. Even less with a 6 man scrum! Game onR

PDJ is off isn't he. Mercey and Waller on now I think.

If they lose this then Mallinder is very culpable.

Clearly very concerned about the fatigue showed in HC final

Hi all, sorry that I haven't been around, thanks for sorting out my draft, Shaw is perfect.

Wow, how come Bath are down to £30m all of a sudden? Less than Glos and Irish and equal with Quins!!!

Just tweaking mate, nothing is set in stone

Ok, fair enough. Its a bit tricky, I understand that, especially with teams playing above and below their squads 'on paper' at the moment

Lets get the draft smashed lads and we can look to open domestics

Pooly - my original squad was 40 players. Do I need to drop two immediately
to make room for my drafts or release two at a later date?

Squads need to be at 40 before domestics open mate so you'll need to drop 2

Pooly, what's the score with releasing players to get under the 40?

Is that to start the season or now? Just might assist the smaller sides with picking up some decent players if they can throw in 2 for 1 deals, so might be beneficial to let people stay over for a bit but have to be under before the fixtures start.

Squads have to be at 40 before we start Pete, sure they'll be a few players worth picking up

How long you going to to do domestics for before opening foreigns?

Not long

Hopefully get this draft done soon, getting impatient for some domestic transfer dealings now.

Me too, it's going to be a bit mental.

Advice to the new guys.....don't rush into a deal. Give things some thought and try and think ahead till next season etc

different challenges for everyone. For teams like Chiefs, Sale, Worcester, Newcastle, Wasps, Bath you have to have one eye firmly on getting the results this season and not getting relegated, whilst looking ahead to next and building going forward. Might have to sacrifice a potentially very good youngster to get in a proven talent in the short term to ensure staying afloat.

For the bigger teams it might be the other way, like yourself at Leicester Pooly might have to let a couple of internationals go to ensure you have enough cover during the international windows.

Smaller squad s makes it much more of a challenge and much more realistic.

Can't wait, I have a list of 44 players that I am interested in!!!

Just a suggestion, but in the interest of fairness to all of those who are not on as much, it might be an idea that once the draft has been completed, you give like a few hours notice of the domestic transfer market opening before people are able to dive in.

They'll be a couple of days notice Pete I imagine

Think that's fair mate, then nobody can complain if they miss out on any bargains that may be on offer.

Need to check with Pull but if ok.....

DOMESTICS OPEN FRIDAY 0900hrs

Are the players that we have to release to get under 40 at the same value as normal releases?

Any players you need to discard to get to your 40 limit don't count as releases Pete.

Everybody needs to be at the 40 mark before we start basically, who you have to release is your problem (that's not meant to sound nasty but does somehow!?!?)

Pooly - I've sorted out my squad to get it down to 39 (1 more draft to come)

Let me know when it's my turn again

Domestics at 9 Friday is fine.

Ok with your league?

Just so you know guys i'm off to Brighton for new years so won't be online from 30th till the 2nd probably!! If there's anything opening let me know and i'll try to p.m someone

Pooly, where do we put who we are releasing to get our squads down?

Just delete mate, we'll presume they've signed for championship clubs

Only thing with that is that is people may delet players that others want to sign. Would make sense for a releases page so everyone can see who those players are and bid for them if they want them.

Morning Gents, just a reminder:

ALL SQUADS TO BE AT 40 BY 2000hrs TONIGHT

DOMESTICS OPEN TOMORROW AT 0900hrs

I'll be checking squads later, if they aren't at 40 I'll choice player(s) to lose
