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

[Wrighty]

Just knew id have to put on a ridiculous amount for him.

But hey.....argueably the best player to have laced up (well one of the 2 best players ive seen since following the game......the other ones still up for grabs)

Had to have him......stoked to get Kevin Iro too

Why did you go $2.5 and not $2.1 to $2.3 like everyone else? Where did your hunch come from? This could be a telling moment in the game.

Well you couldve put 2 mill on him and rightfully think that would be there or thereabouts.......figured others would probably be the same and would put 2.1 or 2.2 to be the point of difference......my thinking was 2.5 would take them out of the equation.....well....hoping anyway.

I’m a bit surprised no one went Kerrod Walters. In my opinion he’s a top 10 hooker since 1980… is everyone holding out for the accountant? I’m sure he’ll go cheap…

 

[Wrighty]

tyrael be sure to make a post and list your team squad and war chest in the team list thread (also in the social forum). Most others have a post already. .

Might’ve entertained it if I had known u were gonna back door Benny.
Still wondering if u entered that into the rugby league project yourself…

Oh well at least I landed the king! The farkin king baby!

Benny Elias was one of my favourite players too. Didn't know he had a brother who played a game of first grade as well.

The King is a great get though.

I was having a coffee break today while at the shops with one of my daughters when I had a hunch to check Back door Benny’s details. Couldn’t believe it when I saw his brother had played. Had no idea. Immediately sent a bid in to Wrighty. Pure fluke.

Well done- I’m sure he’ll work wonders for team harmony

Ending up with both Paul brothers wasn't the intended plan but the bonus $800,000 might come in handy later.
Maybe it's my age but I think both are criminally under rated & would have had good NRL careers if they played in the comp

It’s a real pity Mario Fenech never played tests, a rotation of him, Benny & Boxhead would be dynamite!

Will still be a lot to bid for. I was contemplating making the criteria tighter but I need a chance to win some players!

For the silent rounds I feel like having quite a few options works as it's harder to outbid everyone and you almost have to be more selective with who you go for. The open rounds should be a tighter selection of players or it's going to be chaos prior to closing and everyone will probably get timed out with posting and having to wait 15 seconds before posting again.

LOL. You will get a feature interview from Louis Hernandez from the Sydney Morning Herald.

I genuinely think it’s far too broad. Even yesterday was lenient on eligibility however this one today is crazy. In my opinion, if we want the comp to go the distance then eligibility needs to be tighter.

Inruin based on this feedback can you please provide a count or estimate on the number of eligible players. We discussed this before the comp started that there shouldn't be too many eligible players. Remember that some contestants have a different strategy which is waiting until after round ten when others have blown their war chest and we can't be unfair to those people counting on the full number of rounds.

You may wish to put a time range on this?

 

[Wrighty]

Cces I am not going to acknowledge your bids until we sort this. Others please hold fire.
