[Wrighty]

Well played everyone. Everyone made a bid so I don't need to give our any infractions.

I have made a sister thread for you to populate - you will see it in the Social forum. It is a tracking thread. Please populate it with your results. Congrats to all those who won at least one player.

If it was a tied bid nobody got that person. Below are the results - I may have made a mistake, If you think I did then no Dramas just point it out to me and I will investigate. Please bear in mind some of your bids were not eligible as the thread was moving quickly and your bid was not incremental.

Here are the results for Round One

Great work Wrighty very hectic last few minutes

 

[Wrighty]

In the end the Tied Bids turned out to be very exciting with it sort of being like whack a mole. Jazz Tevaga or someone popped up and you had tie bid him quick smart.

 

[Wrighty]

• Defence D Fafita $355K
• Defence $255K

Defence or anybody - I have clumsily deleted a player who went for $255K that Defence was last to bid on.

Yes that it what I just deduced now too. I will update

 

[Wrighty]

Big round of applause to Tyrael for a great first round question.

 

[Defence]

Well I guess I can take the next week off- already filled half my team

Yes you are off to a prolific start. Must still make one bid per round if you do put it into cruise control the next few rounds.

 

[Defence]

Just to clarify the black sheep thing- do I pay 100k for Packer and get 400k back or is Packer free as well?

Packer is free and you get a $400K refund.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Packer is free and you get a $400K refund.

Laundry bill won’t be cheap however

I wasn’t sure how this round would play out so was just rolling with the punches.
Judging from previous games people either go way too low or way too high in the first round and I feel that’s the way it went- maybe not having any real blue chip players meant people kept their powder dry but I thought there were some real bargains had in the end.
I’ve filled 9 spots but still have 9M in the kitty so feel like I’m in a good spot but time will tell….

 

[Inruin]

Packer is free and you get a $400K refund.

What year did Packer play?

Edit. Just seen 2021

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Hey Wrighty can you please explain the rules going forward for black sheep. I’m not quite sure where we ended up with it.

Hey Wrighty can you please explain the rules going forward for black sheep. I’m not quite sure where we ended up with it.

I think the only possibility that is sensible is to only have black sheep for the silent auction. If we tried my idea I floated it is going to turn into a frantic last thirty minutes each day with people sneaking in black sheep before the buzzer and others not sure if they should outbid by $1K to stop the sheep all with no time left.

So from now on Black Sheep only for the silent rounds. No more tieing bids for the open auctions. I will update the rules.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Right then I believe it is my turn to play Round Master.

Eligibility criteria:
This relates to the NRL competition including earlier versions, i.e. NSWRL, Winfield Cup, Optus Cup, etc.

Bid for players that played in & lost an NRL grand final within their first 2 seasons (debut season or the following season), with that player then going on to play for at least 2 NRL clubs.

Silent Auction Round

Have fun everyone.
