Sorry, just to point out my name is missing from the list. If I might add it.
Brendan Sean Duffy. Second row, number 5. Also can prop the bar.
Value in points, fecking loads said me mammy.
I also have an Irish pass port so I might be away during the six nations, I'm sure Big Bob can fill in for me.
If we are so short of players, look out, you might be called up, bring your boots.

So not recieved the one from Swindon Irish

Just sent mine, I am hoping some players have learnt from their previous tendency of getting binned, and I am not naming names...

What like me at Touch rugby last night!!

I've learned!!

I've taught...

Jon, I'll resend it.

Just had a thought, are the substitution rules the same as last season, as it may have an effect on my selection.

Any chance of seeing the rules before I submit my team?

Yes same as last year. I'll send them later.

Free subs until 2 days before the double headder anyway!

Elvis must have spent to much time on the bench as Sale!!

Is listed as a centre and according to the Formula will only cost 67.

Can an Editor ammend the story up top to iclude him?

Remember free subs until a couple of days before the first game

IF you want to change your team due to new signings or players leaving etc you can and it doesn't count against your seasons total of replacements.

Just drop me an email with any proposed changes and i will update the teams and reply. Did I send you the rules?

Thanks Jon for the info and yes I have the rules.

Zoff

Team recieved

Any more?

Teams counting for next week need to be recieved before midnight on the day before the team for the game on Saturday is announced on the OFFIE.

This is also the point at which Subs cost against the 25 allowed in the season.

If I haven't sent you the rules let me know!

Mine just sent...
Total guess work...



Khaa kaaah

Just emailed a team over.

C'mon you Irish!

Anyone know who is definitely unavailable for this Sat?

I only ask because I must currently be in joint first place, and that is likely to be the last time this season.

As a fantasy virgin can someone remind me about the rules for substitution?

Thanks

Now that's the big question! I am allready recieving change to the teams on the basis that Bob went of injured. Elvis wasn't in Munster, Dec hobbled of v's quins. etc.

We counted potential injuries the other day at home nd got to 11 between 1st team and academy which asuming a squad size of 31 + 7 Doesn't leave Toby a lot of choice, especially as in that calculation we had 3 fit hookers and only 4 in the back row,

Hopefully we are wrong and will all be fine.

Re rules for Subs you can make as many as you like to the original teams before midnight on the day the team is then announced on the offie.

After this each manager is allowed to make 25 changes during the season (again notified to me before midnight on the day before the team is announced) The team must remian legal (under 750 points and players in possible positions at all times) I will check changes and try to let people know if I spot errors.

I have another 4 or 5 teams recieved since the last update which I will try to enter and post at some point but also have the munster match report to do and apply for a couple of new jobs, oh yes and I go back to work tomorrow after a holiday!

Thanks. I think I'll stick with my original 8 and keep fingers crossed.

Without digging out my old progs didn't Bob miss LDH last season?
