Back again for 2008

The Super 14 is almost back with us & those idle so-and-sos at fantasyrugby.com have just updated their site for the new season.

If you fancy your chances go here:

If you've played previously the site has carried your details forward, but for any noobs you'll need these to join the CW league.

All welcome, more the merrier, etc. Could a mod please change the thread title to "2008 Fantasy Super 14" to help us drum up managers? Ta.

 

[Matteh]

Yeah i'll give this a go. Are the internationals all off somewhere like they were last time?

Pretty sure most have jetted off to England.

 

[Somerset]

3rd last season and 1st in the semis/finals separate round so will definitely make sure I have my team for this year.

Just giving this a nudge as only Matteh & me appear to have selected teams ths far.

Starts Friday, so still plenty of time.

 

[Matteh]

Woo, i'll finish 2nd. Solid result.

Don't count your chickens just yet.

Have selected my seven though may change with the announcement of the sides for round one:
Ben Franks (consistent and should score 10-15 each week)
Anton van Zyl (as above)
Tim Boys (Highlanders don't seem to have much depth and Boys looks promising)
Richie McCaw (say no more)
Daniel Carter (as above)
Nick Evans (potential highest point scorer for the entire fantasy competition IMO)
Richard Kahui (as long as he stays injury free should score well)

 

[BoyBrumby]

Up to 5 managers now, but still nearly 10 hours for everyone else to select a team, don't be shy!

Cometer is back for another year & we appear to have a new manager; welcome whoever you are.

Must admit it's somewhat hard to follow this tournament, but will try.

I thought Habana was signed to some English team? (Bath?) Or was that another quick winger from the lower hemisphere?

Planet Rugby is probably the best site for keeping abreast of the latest goings-on.

& I dunno. Of the Saffies who've defected post-WC Bath signed Butch James, but he's a fly-half (or 5/8th if you're that way inclined).

I think it was James I heard of. Dunno why I confused him with Habana.

Architecture in Helsinki 

Tight Forward 
Edmonds, Huia BRM $930,000 
Henderson, Nic BRM $1,050,000 
Loose Forward 
Elsom, Rocky WAR $1,710,000 
Louw, Francois STM $945,500 
Back
Barnes, Berrick RED $1,703,250 
Carter, Daniel CRU $2,160,900 
Habana, Bryan BUL $1,947,000

Don't like the look of my Tight Forwards or one of my Loose Forwards.

Elsom should score you points. Not familiar with the work of the other forwards tho, so I'd be whistling in the dark.

 

[Matteh]

Made a couple of changes after i found some starting lists. Would appear that my 2 of the 3 i had doubts over weren't starting and the other was a sub.

 

[Somerset]

Somehow my team's value has rocketed up by about $200,000. :S Can't complain. :P

 

[Somerset]

Week One Results:
1 Architecture in Helsinki 260
2 Glimt XI 220
3 The Fen Brumbies 209
4 Somerset 199
5 Try Scoring Brumbies 184
6 Not Swingers 180

Interesting start, BoyBrumby and myself the only ones not to receive points scoring bonuses.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Fair play by Mitchell.

I realise by now the side should either be Glimt XV or Glimt VII.

 

[BoyBrumby]

An NH 1,2,3.

De Villiers let me down; should've gone for a third kicker instead.

 

[Matteh]

Haha awesome. First time i've ever led one of these rugby comps.

 

[Somerset]

Have made one change to my seven from round one, with Lachlan Turner who looked very impressive against the Hurricanes coming in for Richard Kahui (generally these tactics always turn out to cost me so am not betting against that happening!)
