Retirement Rookies

Cloete

Okay goffy and jason i think i have missed a trick somewhere! Apparently I have a rookie called B Mongia?? How did I get him?? I haven't seen any retiree tables yet but I am guessing you must have done them?? Because otherwise I have no idea how I obatained this guy!! Any thoughts?? :ticking:

I incorrectly put the 30 guys that are going straight to the draft against teams. I have removed them so Mongia will be going straight to the draft.

retirements are in fashion atm


players usually announce retirements about 1/2 way through the season, which is the point we are at...

Why are people so keen to move the game on so quickly?

Well the season has been moving on if you haven't noticed. This week is week 14/21. It hasn't been confirmed or anything, but trading must start around week 17 (round 9 od) and thats not exactly that far away....

Why must it start round week 17?

If it starts early it takes attention away from the end of the season, and also don't forget we need a break between seasons for admin etc.

Bearing in mind all trades last year took place in about a week, I see no reason to open it so early, especially as then people will be moaning about there being nothing happening whilst we're trying to update things.

Then I guess by week 3 of the new season people will be begging to know when will we get details about the next season...

on trading i dont think that it is necessary either to start trading so early.

i would prefer if trading was after the season so that it does not detract too much from the matches etc.
