Its a damn solid list!

Hey all, Silky Skills here. I would like to apply for the position as coach of the Hoods as Sportal my only salary game for 2013 and all my time is going into it. My knowledge on the Sportal game isn't the greatest right now, but come end of the season when the real thinking needs to be done, it'll be alot better.

How do i explain this? Well I've been involved with FanFooty since the middle of 2011, most of it under PowerBug. My XV's experience is as follows:
- The inaugural coach of the Buenos Aires Armadillos (Worlds), drafted squad which finished 3rd in the table and was eliminated in a Prelim final.
- Inaugural coach of the Greek Titans (Euros), drafted squad which started very strongly, but failed to close out the season, finishing 4th and unfortunately being knocked out in straight sets.
- Was involved with the drafting of the Hong Kong Dongs and Grope Lane Giants

Currently i am an assistant to Nails in the Euros competition.

The best XV:
B: Taylor, Dempsey, Grundy, Dempster
M: Pendlebury (c), Ablett (vc), Hodge, Masten
R: Bailey
F: Walker, Koschitzke, Davey, Podsiadly
I: Rosa (is he fit?), Sewell
EM: C.Jones, Dunn, Towers

Next trade period the aim is to get a no. 1 ruck and improve the onfield side, which may mean sacrificing depth to do so. :-\

Hello Ringo and all coaches of British xv's .. i have been interested in having a xv's team for a while now and would like to apply for the Nottingham Hoods position .. great team name .. I think most people will know me as i have been on FanFooty for a while now and respect the opinions of others on this site. I try to help where possible by posting information on players and teams and spend a fair amount of time online.



Currently an Assistatant Coach for Moscow Spetsnaz in wxv's and a player scout at Birmingham Bombers British xv's



Myself, Grannyboy, Colliwobblers and others were in the number 1 ranked league in Sportal last year. If i get the position i will appoint Grannyboy as my Senior Assistant Coach.



Current team .. Not a bad list ..Could do alright with the current list depending on the quality of other teams in the comp. Forwards needs work imo. Has two midfield guns with a mixture of ageing players and some players that spend more time off the field than on. I would look to trade a couple of older players to teams that want/need some short term results for some younger players that will improve the list in time addressing the positions in need. I would like to think i can make this team really competetive depending on trades and players selected in drafts etc.



   Best XV

B:  Dempsey, Taylor, Dempster, Grundy

M: Ablett (C), Pendles (VC), Masten, Sewell

R: Bailey ( Sandilands )

F: Walker, Podsiadly, Davey (Kosi), Dunn

U: Lower (Hodge), C.Jones (Rosa)

EM: Mackay, J.Trengove, L.Russell

( players in brackets are injured and would play before others if fit )



Please consider me for this coaching position.. Football Factory

Jackson Trengove is not a B/R is he?

[Ringo]

Sorry guys - Jackson Trengove this year is defender only.  May wish to change team.

[Ziplock]

Him losing R dpp and jordan roughead losing it as well destroyed my ruck cover :P

[Justin Bieber]

Did Trengove play ruck at all last year?

Ablett and Pendles are worth a few arms and legs between them

[kilbluff1985]
