I think Buenos Aires lost the right to a priority back (before first round) the moment they traded out all of their rucks.

But they'll be fine anyway.

fair enough if its going on NDT being bottom for a while than that's fine. But based on this year the probably deserve the same treatment, i understand the distinction based on dillos being a top team last year. I personally feel it would be huge in helping the rebuild as its what I did in the euro but will follow what you go for.

Redden didn't play all year anyway.

Current rules are less than 4 wins = priority pick after first round

Less than 4 wins 2 years in a row = priority pick before first round

If you can only manage 3 wins for the year your team has issues, and not just because of injury

fair enough, was just a discussion. Just wanted to bring the numbers to attention.

I am by no means saying Cairo dont deserve a pick but wow they are much much better than the whole Dillos list. I wouldn't trade Beams + Prestia + Hanley for the whole Dillos squad.

I like the cairo list they will be real good in two years.

Don't listen to him. He's trying to trick you. Nige loves a good PM.

Nige man you've changed

For the better elephants, for the better. :P

Jason Holmes gets a game!!!!

I must admit the fact his name is only two letters of my name was one of the reasons i picked him. But I have hoarded international players, hoping to find the next Peace Hanley.

I have liked what I have seen from Holmes soo far and would be great to get another Ruck playing possibly even F/R.

Heath Shaw was an international player? Huh?

Hey guys

Just thought I'd post here to let you all know that I'm stepping down as Coach of the Toronto Wolves

It's a decision I've been mulling over for a few weeks, and one that definitely wasn't easy to make, but I feel like the time is right. I've enjoyed the last 4 years immensely, there has been a lot of highs and perhaps a few too many lows, but the WXV game has always been a great love of mine and a real passion, and it's not easy to say goodbye.

Over the years I've dedicated more and more time to building this current Toronto list, and have gone from coaching a DT, SC and WXV side, to just SC and WXV, and for the last couple seasons just the WXV side to focus on. Those 15 boys at Toronto each week, and the 17 other coaches/sides I get the share the journey with has been keeping me interested in fantasy footy for years

Unfortunately I feel as though I'm not the right man to take Toronto forward, I'm not a good enough coach, and with a lot of the talent around these forums desperate for a gig in the elite competition, WXV, it makes sense to let one of these guys take over because I really do want to see Toronto succeed and although I may be a bit bias, I don't think the list is as bad as it may seem

Initially I was going to wait until the conclusion of finals to let you know of my intentions, but after discussions with Purps and a lot of PM's I haven't replied to (sorry about that guys, I hope this explains why I wasn't too intent on committing to any trades), it made sense to announce it now to give the competition plenty of time to find a new coach before trading really gets into the swing of things

Obviously I've got a lot to thank Oz and Purps for, and I owe a lot to them for making this great game what it is. It's been a pleasure coaching alongside each of you guys every week and although this probably brings an end to my time as a regular on FF I'll continue to drop in and check up on WXV I'm sure of it. Best of luck to the teams left in finals, and the rest of you in 2016

Cheers
RB

Toronto made finals most of the season, so obviously you aren't a bad coach! You will be sorely missed RB :'(.

Purple 77 · August 20, 2015, 10:45:49 PM

An absolutely outstanding contributor, pioneer coach and incredible coach (none of this nonsense of you being a bad coach >:(), you will be sorely missed rb!

There from the very beginning, you could always count on rb. Whether it be submitting his team, taking his draft pick promptly or responding to votes. IIRC, not once (if not, a couple of times) did RB fail to do any of these things EVERY single week for the PAST 4 YEARS! But the thing I'll miss most about him, is really his wit and sense of humour about his team and players :P you added something unique to Worlds, and it will be hard to replace you mate.

All the best in future, and here's hoping we haven't heard the last from you either! It's safe to say you left your mark on the comp.
