Social Wrighty presents Forum Sheep game for 2024 - Round 12 Underway

[wizard of Tauranga]

I'm actually very happy with my team and I am considering whether I try for one of the 2 players I'm looking at or I just offer Wrighty the $790,000 to be my director of football?

Conflict of interest! Wrighty works in the salary cap audit team!

 

[Boats n Hoes]

I cant say

Hmm.....well all i have to do is put in is 791k anyway i suppose.....

 

[Wrighty]

***NEW FLASH****

The Sydney morning herald reports that new 14 year old sensation from the gold coast is being considered for signing by contestant Inruin. The 14 year old is the son of the famous T-Rex and can play all 13 positions at an elite level giving him amazing value off the bench. Peter Vlandys is reportedly set to waive the one test requirement to enable this signing to take place.
In an interview with Inruin he remarked "It was an opportunity I had to take. It was an investment in the future."

After a prop and the 2 im conflicted on are big Nelson Asofa and Quinten Pongia.

Big Nelson would be good to have but because i've already got John Lomax i think there's probably more status getting his partner in crime Q......they really do come as a set.......Wiz has been rambling on about his pack of enforcers but in the early 90s they didnt come much tougher than Lomax and Pongia.

So $791 000 Quinten Pongia

Also Wrighty i think that leaves me with roughly a mill leftover? So i'll cash out thanks.....ill expect that in my account

Bid Accepted. Technically you were to bid all of your war chest as a rule - but we wont split hairs. I will get you a million in Zimbabwe dollars coming right up.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Go get your man Inruin

I had Pongia lined up but had to go a different way.

Great choice!

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Of the props left I’d have gone Craig Young, however Pongia is a legend!

 

[Inruin]

Go get your man Inruin

I actually don't know who to go for

 

[Inruin]

Steve Renouf $790,000

Over and out thanks Wrighty

Steve Renouf $790,000

Over and out thanks Wrighty

[Wrighty]

Results
Brett Kenny Mr B
Quinten Pongia Boats n Hoes
Renouf Inruin

Everybody is now complete. I will get back to you with next steps shortly.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Steve Renouf $790,000

Over and out thanks Wrighty

Yeah that’s who I was also considering.

 

[Inruin]

Yeah that’s who I was also considering.

I thought you might have taken him actually but hadn't thought about switching the team around like you did. Definitely the right move strengthening your outside backs i think

The other absolute legend who I think makes a lot of all time best teams since 1980 is Eric Grothe Snr. Gene Miles also top tier & if I could have used my final squad position then I’d have loved to grab Bob Lindner.

Code for: Meninga’s going to smash that backline apart…

 

[Inruin]

Code for: Meninga’s going to smash that backline apart…

He'll be too puffed trying to catch them

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Nah… he floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee!

Steve Ella was another I had in consideration if these other two had gone. There are a fair few players who might not be considered the very top tier but are great players. I was thinking that we should do a draft for one more team where everyone gets to pick a player in the order of the snake from the remaining test players available, ending up with a squad of twenty and submit as a phantom team for voting. Could be done in an hour.
