WAITING LIST:
1. HERSH

You actually came out quite well with only 3 starters hit Bathite

Real early test of squads Pete

More so for some than others.

Saracens are barely hit at all as 4 of their 5 injuries are players that would be away on 6 Nations duty anyway.

Likewise Worcester have lost good players, but no key players for them.

As you say, is going to be a test of how people use their squads.

I've lost 2 Looseheads and only have sheridan left who every murders in predos. And my 2 players who can play fullback.

Yea Sarries actually came out ok, big names but as you say they'll lose those players anyway. Luck of the draw

Yeah, losing more than one in the same position is tough Ollie. I need to work out who is going to play 13 with Tatupu and Shoemark both out!!!

what week are we in now?

6 next week

Why Servat, why?! You could've avoided that ruck!

Just gauging opinions what do people think of Doran Jones at LH while Mujati is at TH?? Blasted injuries!!

Wouldn't be a weakness IMO

Am after a decent outside centre if anyone is selling?

Spratt/Noon/Ansbro?

Am after an inside centre if anyone has one available?

Predictions needed from:

Driver, Pull, Flux, Ollie, Luke

I know mate, will do later.

Could we have the fixture list made a sticky please?

https://www.606v2.com/t20807-fixture-list-2011-2012

Done

Cheers Pete

Results are in & budgets are up to date.

Pull could you do table when you get 5 mins?

Flux, you ok do next weeks fixtures?

Yeah no problem

Cheers fella, just create now if you like

Pooly, good decision to extend the predo's to 8pm, nightmare getting it in before 6, especially in January when work is manic.

I'll do the table tonight.

Should have said fella, wondered why you were 6/601 both weeks lol

We've lost another manager!

After a narrow home defeat Ozzy has decided to go to pastures new

man down

shame

Think that makes me the oldest

I was liking what he was doing too, sound foundations. Was one or two backs away from a serious side.

What a waste! Had built such a good side, great contributions as well.

Bring on the HERSH!

League table updated:

Cheers Pull

I will take over the mighty Exeter. A £2billion budget would be fair I believe.

It's yours mate.

Just press quote on the current Exeter page and copy everything bar the quote marks.

Come back to the page and go to new topic pasting everything in. Just put the link on here and I'll add it to the page.

Have a scan of the rules and ask the lads if you have any issues

Sort of....Need to add your players and change the title of your page to Exeter.

Ballbag by name......

Might have Billy Twelvetrees available

This should be better can you get rid of the previous topic made? Now give me some money Sgt muppet

Thoughts?

how do i sign a player i released?

Need to bid on him on national league page

See that Meyer got the SA job. Think the boks will be a force again, Matfield already reconsidering his retirement. A good chance for them to flush out the older players and get some new talent involved, much like England.

Out:
Smit
Roussow
Du Preez
M.Steyn
Fourie

In:
BDP
Alberts
Houugaard / S.Pretorious
Lambie / Ebersohn / Jantjes
De Jongh

First thing i'd do if i was Meyer would be to get on my Skype to Johann Muller and Ruan Pienaar and tell them to get back to South Africa as they will be involved in my plans.

I'd play a power based game plan around attacking the finges and using the boots in the backs to ping the opposition back and out muscle them up front before using the likes of De Jong , Habana , Aplon to punish them in the backs.


I'd go something like this.

1.Oosterhausin
2.Bismark Du Plessie
3.Jannie Du Plessie
4.William Alberts
5.Victor Matfield
6.Juan Smith (c)
7.Heinrich Brussow
8.Schalk Burger

9.Ruan Pienaar
10.Morne Steyn
11.Bryan Habana
12.Frans Steyn
13.Juan De Jong
14.Gio Aplon
15.Patric Lambie

Wow, driver some big calls there.

Has Alberts ever played second row? Think with Smith injured again, he deserves the 8 shirt.

Broussow - Burger - Alberts back row has it all!

Bakkies still playing as well, but failing that Bekker to play, really under rated player in my book.

Pienaar is a good shout at 9, but not sure about Muller. I wouldn't start Morne, but can see Meyer sticking to his old bulls gameplan, which is as you describe.

Alberts played lock at the RWC from the bench. South Africa will win 2015 in my eyes.

Morne Steyn still has time on his side he's only 27 and on form one of the best in the game.

Didn't notice Big Willem at lock during the RWC! Whoops. I had a good outside bet on them for the win, 6-1.

Morne on form is so limited though, not much of a plan b and also would struggle if the pack isn't dominating.

Any reason why you have dropped Beast and Steenkemp and put coonie there, who is injured i thought?

Coonie is a class act and great in the loose. I've only seen the beast have one outstanding performance and that was on for 45 minutes against Phil Vickery in the first test 09 and 2 weeks later Vickery took him to the cleaners.

Steenkamp can stay in Toulouse - can't stand him as a rugby player!
