[MrB]

Crabby, I see your single point win this week took you above me in the Essex rankings!

 

[mcrabb]

Back behind you now. My 130-0 win against a bot didn't give me any points so I'm back in 3rd.

I'm lagging behind you both a little although my first 100K player is so close. Daines is currently on 99K and should reach the ton next Tuesday.

Otherwise the team is progressing well and on Tuesday I should have all 1st team players with CSR greater than 50K (got 2 on 49K at the moment).

 

[MrB]

3 games left, 16 clear of 6th so 5th is secured. I play the top 3 in my remaining games so will play WNWIM and take the thrashings and additional training.

I'm only just getting my weakest player past 40k but he is scheduled for replacing as soon as I can find the right player. No. 8 is such a tough position to fill.

 

[mcrabb]

Wow. I didn't see that result coming at all. After battling to a single point victory in our last match I really didn't expect such a one-sided match.

Wow. I didn't see that result coming at all. After battling to a single point victory in our last match I really didn't expect such a one-sided match.

Do you want a friendly?

 

[mcrabb]

Why not. Invitation sent.

Eventually got my first 100K CSR player!

Team is now looking like this:
1) 68,625
2) 64,956
3) 50,272
4) 66,061
5) 50,788
6) 67,822
7) 73,035
8) 68,124
9) 80,254
10) 83,595
11) 67,602
12) 51,888
13) 101,729
14) 59,426
15) 65,515

 

[MrB]

1) 49,588 -19k
2) 84,015 +19k
3) 47,247 -3k
4) 84,928 +19k
5) 55,349 +5k
6) 54,958 -13k

9) 99,103 +19k
10) 72,777 -11k
11) 64,160 -3k
12) 77,544 +26k
13) 57,958 -44k
14) 108,974 +50k
15) 51,236 -14k

Shows how even our teams are, only 11k separating total CSR.

28,230

Total 943,927

Am training a new full-back, but I need a prop as well.

 

[mcrabb]

I make it about 25K but they're still pretty close.

Team totals:
Crabby's - 1,019,692
Shrimperzone RFC - 994,349
Invicta - 943,927

All pretty close to be honest and probably not far off the top teams. The best team in my league has a team total of 1,119,082 but I'm certainly the second highest.

I guess the key is having strong reserves too since injuries are more common now. In the forwards I've got 56,861, 44,764, 37099, 35964 & 29514. In the backs I've got 57,226, 43,874, 43,282, 28,094 & 25,081. They're not bad but I'm conscious that they're getting further away from the first team as time goes by. Plus my 57K back is 31 so will probably start going down in the next season or two.

 

[mcrabb]

Bad luck MrB.

Looks like you'll be going back down to II.3 next season and joining Southend Invicta.

I ended up finishing 4th after messing up in the play-offs. Old Shastonians have promoted so we'll have Chloe Crusaders down in our league next season. We'll also have Storms Swordfish, Pride N Power and Tc wasps joining the league. Pride N Power look the strongest of those so next season should be as tough as ever.

 

[MrB]

Yeah, not unexpected. I sold a lock and haven't been able to replace him yet. So I normalled the play off kind of expecting to lose.

I now have over £2m burning a hole in my pocket to blow on a new lock.
