@Crucial How many teams are there in total? I assume the Vikings won't be participating?
If the Ta$man Invitational XV get to participate then why can't the Vikings Invitational XV? I've already selected the team - 14 Magpies and Christian Cullen.
They can roll the Steamers in the first round like the 3 times they did in their short existence.
you're right, Aaron Smith probably won't make it at halfback over everyone's favourite HB halfback...
He can't hold a candle to Chris Eaton ... but I was limiting selection of the Vikings to players who actually played for the Vikings, so unfortunately both those two superstars miss out.
-
A option is to leave Southland out and do the bye in the first round as suggested
-
@Crucial said in Finalise Team by NZT Midday 3/9:
leave Southland out
wow.
At least i was joking.
How plastic is this comp?
-
I am sure we can collectively select a Southland team.
-
@Bovidae said in Finalise Team by NZT Midday 3/9:
@Nepia They might beat your lot too if you give the Vikings all your players.
Hmm, good point, the Vikings can have all the Poo players (but they may struggle to get 15).
-
There's no Vikings. End of.

OK.
-
I will start posting teams below.
Not too many where I had to shift players but from memory..
Canterbury lost Rangi to Ta$man's credit card. They get Deans instead so they have someone to blame
Waikato lose Robinson to Taranaki because Naki lost Eaton to Manawatu. Gibbes is in according to the first line up
Waikato also had to have Foster at 10 as their first two choices belonged elsewhere. -
-
@Crucial I had made some last minute amendments to our team (prior to this post )
Obviously if too late, all good (I mean if Hansen could name his team whenever, surely we can too)

Team namings are Thursdays not Fridays. You should know this
-
@Crucial pfft, is that even a thing?
-
-
As I was appointed the Waikato manager I always had Holah and DMac starting.
-
@Crucial and I had changed Taylor/Maxwell on Thursday...Johnston pulled up lame at training today.
-
It was up to you 'managers to make it clear. Some of the threads were a shambles to interpret.
@Bovidae you bracketed Monkley and Holah and most others had mentioned Monkley as their preferred (even hough he's a bit short). You also kept selecting players from other unions.
I'll make these last changes then, not that it will matter..

Can you put one clear list in your thread and I will adjust. Thanks
-
@Bovidae said in Finalised Teams:
@Crucial No, I wrote the players in order of preference for those positions.
You do realise that not selecting Monkley will lead to years of whinging from other Waikato fans
-
-
I did say I would be excluding some of my favourite players and Duane was one of them. No time for sentiment.

-
@Crucial dont suppose it matters, but a few teams dont seem to have been named in numerical order (line 11 - Laumape for Man, DC for Canterbury, Alatini for Southland whereas rest have wingers in line 11)

Canterbury wanted Mehrtens and DC on the field and put DC at 12
But yeah, Laumape is in the wrong spot on the list. NMS is at 11 (or Tikoirotuma)
-
@Crucial yeah thats what I mean, DC is on the same line as Rupeni, whereas DC would be line 12...again, not that it matters, you are learning the joys of being a mod
-
@Higgins said in Finalised Teams:
@crucial He will probably want Fotuali'i in at halfback for HB and give them Mike Coman back in return!
You got your team in ... nice work on being last in the thread.
Would be good to have Kahn but am happy with the guy selected as we were teammates for roughly 13 years.
I probably would have gone for Ihaia, Randle/Cooke, Michael Johnson on the blindside, Ben T and Hika in the front row. But I'm ok with that team.
-
we'd probably just have subbed in Chainsaw laney, equal top try scorer, a worth replacement
