idk whether2restornot

can I announce resting tomorrow per chance? think I asked a similar question last week

Sorry Nails, resting has to be done before round starts. All teams announced at this point anyway!

@My Chumps and pyronerd

Both you didn't name a team. I should just name a team for you, and have the Lions/Tigers players locked. But think will give this choice:

- Name a team by Saturday, but you can't name any Tigers/Lions players

- I name you a team based on preferences (and yes Cotchin would be captain of Cape Town), but this would count as a strike against you. A second strike would mean you lose a premiership point.

So.... choice up to you...

Ah flower, serious? I was at training tonight so didn't see final teams (Caddy out) till after the lockout. Not sure what else I could've done :(

Yeah, sorry Toga. Gray can still be moved around (not a Lions/Tigers) player, but you can't name flood/attack anymore.

That's a shame. I had a PM from My Chumps with the team listed and a note to say that he wanted to use Cotchin as C (well VC and do the loophole).

If you were to name us a team Ossie I assume it would be different to the one we posted?

This would be my read of the team auto-picked by preferences?

D: Pittard, Guthrie, Haynes, Everitt
M: Cotchin (C), JPK, Thomas, Cooney
R: Hill
F: Cameron, Darling, Higgins, Hawkins
U: Tyson, Bird
E: Curnow, Gwilt, Crouch

Is there any scope for us to change this and have Curnow instead of Bird and Gwilt instead of Pittard?

If not I still think that would be a better team for us as we really would have preferred to have Cotchin's C score (and indeed his score in our team at least) and get a strike than not. Athough I haven't spoken to My Chumps since you made the above post so I can't really be 100% sure but I think he'd be happy for me to make this call and go with this team instead of the one without Cotchin in.

Sorry memph,  have been largely unavailable this weekend
Not sure wwhat preference list you have but the one I have is:

D: O'Shea, Pittard, Guthrie,  Plowman
M: Cotchin, Kennedy,  Thomas,  Cooney
R: Hill (oop)
F: Cameron,  Darling,  Higgins,  Hawkins
I: Tyson,  Bird
E: Lamb, Curnow, Haynes

C: Cotchin
Vc: Kennedy

So similar except for defense and emergency

I posted this team on Friday? Pretty sure that was one of the options that Oss gave me.

Sorry about the confusion, first I stuffed up by not naming a team before Thursday and then I've been away all weekend for Easter and was out of reception.

Either Memphis can make decisions for you or he can't

Sorry Mc,  can't name cotchin like that

Well Memph thought that the preference list would make a team that's very similar to the one I actually tried to name.

Memph is well and truly allowed to make decisions for the team, but I'm sure that if we knew we had to start Plowman and a very underdone O'Shea via the preference system we would've opted to just drop Cotchin (although we probably would've replaced him with Crouch instead of Pittard - but that's a minor detail). I'd much rather go with the team I tried to name without Cotchin.

How do you calculate HGA again?

[CrowsFan]

You get your lowest scoring player again, so for you that's Gray with 35

[Master Q]

Thanks.

That's 1113 for us. Highly doubt that's a winning score  :P

Richard Douglas is gonna miss a few weeks it looks like. Straight to the tribunal.  :(
