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

[Inruin]

Ricky Stewart - wow!
And Chariots - big investment!

Some good players going for a steal now. Stoked to get RTS for $300k. Might make it onto my bench

Bradley Clyde will be $6m+

 

[Wrighty]

Without giving too much away - tomorrow is a big day in the game. Please update your tracking sheet before bidding starts tomorrow as plenty of people will be asking me to check if people have enough in their war chest.

For what it’s worth, Sticky was my fav Raiders player when I supported them back in the day

I had a hunch. I was really tempted to keep going as I needed him but it would have potentially left me short for a couple of other positions

It escalated from $2m to $4M frighteningly quickly.

Went for more than Cam Smith and Jonathan Thurston and almost as much as Cleary. Ricky Stuart future immortal.

I genuinely think it might set you up well by missing out on paying that much. I knew I was being a bit irrational however really wanted him in my team, he was an incredible player.

He’s short listed with a bunch of them but he won’t be an immortal, but then neither will Thurston, Langer or probably one other half who I won’t mention at this point haha.

The combination of him and Daley in the halves was unbelievable. And the ability to use the width of the field quickly with those long passes made their outside backs even more deadly.

Yeah & when Stuart had that shocking injury in 1993 the Raiders went from hot favourites to win the comp to losing all their remaining games of the season. He was the most important player in that epic side.

 

[Defence]

Can’t stand sticky- he’s a complete farkwit.

 

[Inruin]

Can’t stand sticky- he’s a complete farkwit.

But a $4.35m farkwit.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Can’t stand sticky- he’s a complete farkwit.

He’ll fit into my side well then

When I saw Offiah come up I cringed that I had made Wrighty's round too generous. But it was ok in the end although definitely lots of players on offer.
I am pleased I made it an open round as it gave me the chance to reject suggestions live and then contestants knew where they stood and were able to move on to a new target, It also allowed the group to weigh in with comments.

Hopefully a fun round.

The whole day was irrelevant for me up until just before 6pm. I attempted to put out a couple of bluff trades with Hayne & Thorn, however they were really only designed to mask my target of Sticky. No way I was going to mention him either, but bloody Defence knew all along what my plan was

Is there a wooden spoon in this game?

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** tyrael

I would like some feedback on the following. Some of the contestants are nearing having a 17 while others are only half way there. Either way I don't see the game lasting 21 rounds. I figure it will go somewhere between 13-15 rounds.
I suggest, and I would like feedback on this suggestion that all the rounds following Round 11 - when Wizards has his first turn, that instead of allowing Wizards to have a second turn in a row that all the remaining 3 or 4 predicted rounds are Wrighty rounds
1) If we only have 3 or 4 rounds in the "second round" it gives those round master two lots of $400K round master bonuses while many other contestants won't go get a turn in the "second round" as I say because I am figuring this will wash up earlier
2) It gives Wrighty the flexibility to wrap or manage the game as needed for those who need to complete teams.

Feedback wanted.
This is a major scope change for the game so would like to consult.
