From the Pavilion

Yeah got my eyes on him already. Problem is I'm really still not sure how high to go for players. Like he's only a reas/ord medium but 4K SR so probably reas/ave with decent secondaries... but only a medium so IDK

http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=1501583

He was pulled week 0, but is a trigger talent prodigy so kind of tempting as a FASTY. It's likely his bowl and tech just popped seeing as he was kept a couple weeks before sale. but IDK - worth maybe one bid? He could become a gun with that prodigy talent couldn't he?

Though that power makes me think maybe I should never touch him.

[JBs-Hawks]

He was put up for sale at my request, go away :P

[Nails]

IDK he looks mighty tasty. Dread power is a pain to fix but with prodigy even with his only just popped to ave/ave-ness he's still tasty and I do need a fasty...

You're talking about the fasty yeah? Is he worth more than 1.3 maybe?

^ also interesting but not as good.

How high should I go for the medium?

[JBs-Hawks]

1.3 was the lowest dons would accept I was hoping for a bit less but will pay overs seeing as he is UAE.

Not too sure on values for the medium but he will turn out very nicely.

[Nails]

I might bid once for him and if nobody outbids me you should let me take him :P

You guys might not realise but I have a soft spot for UAE. I was pulling UAE for like 4+ seasons until Torp hired me to NAT assist Scotland and then I had to pull Scottish :(

If you look at my youth squad you can still see I got a few UAE pulls kicking about.

[JBs-Hawks]

Im still willing to go a fair few more bids for him ;)

[Torpedo10]

I didn't end up getting Aubrey Chang but I did make Roynique pay 5.03mil for him. flowering waking up at 6am just to bid on a player you don't even win ::)

Apparently if I bid again Roy didn't have enough money to bid again but I couldn't bring myself to jeopardise my team's future that much.

5.03M into Sandos bank account just because he got lucky....

If you were a believer in Karma you'd say it was good Karma coming his way. He's a good kid on the forums unlike Spudpedo

i know Sando is a good kid, I'm not a bad kid.  :P

shut up spud

Says the guy who's blowing all his money everywhere.  :P

End of over 44 (9 runs) - The Nailers(146-8) RR 3.32

The Nailers Won by 2 Wickets.

Bit of an intense finish. Still needed 12 runs when we lost our last proper batter and we were 7 down for a while but McLoughlin managed to not get out. A great 5* (13) to go with his 5/20 for us.

Solid secondaries and 4K spare ratings. Based on wage/summary/SR figured he'd be close to reas/ave. Therefore paid 545K for him.

Thoughts? Only a medium, but an okay relevant talent and decent secondaries. Should be a good medium.

[Master Q]

Why were you banned?

[Nails]

For discussing admin decisions.

That guy that I nearly bought last night who ended up going for 5mil was adjusted down to 3.8mil. Even though it was a legitimate bidding war that bid him up to 5mil the poor seller gets ripped off 1.2mil. Put my 2 cents in and now banned.

[JBs-Hawks]

Solid buy Nails!

[Torpedo10]

Yeah solid buy. You're such an idiot for getting banned. LOL.
