Social Wrighty's Player Agent Game - Start Dec 26th - Game Underway!!

[Chris Hodges]

I heard that Stacey decided to go his own way and is managing himself. Isn't that right Wrighty?

IS that so? Ok Legal stoush incoming. Will include the legal fees in the interaction. Hope Stace is keen on staying on with the club whilst legal action is underway

Actually you know what, I just spoke to Stace and he is happy to remain with the Hodges stable. No legal action necessary thank you

LOL at Defence's opening bid of $1.3M for SJ - he had no idea of the carnage that would follow.

Andrew Johns Joins the Northern Rynos

The Northern Rynos are proud to announce the signing of Andrew Johns, widely regarded as the greatest halfback of the NRL era.

This is a landmark acquisition for our club and one made with full respect to the history, expectations, and legacy that come with an Immortal of the game.

We would like to formally acknowledge and thank Chris Hodges and the Hodges Agency for their professionalism, guidance, and stewardship in bringing this deal together. Managing a player of Andrew’s calibre is no small task, and we appreciate the trust placed in the Northern Rynos to provide an environment worthy of his status.

We understand that with greatness comes responsibility, and we welcome any expectations, guidance, or feedback that comes with being a Hodges Agency client. The Northern Rynos are committed to maintaining a strong relationship with the Agency and ensuring Andrew is supported in every way possible.

We look forward to seeing Andrew lead this side and can’t wait to get to work.

Welcome to the Northern Rynos, Joey.

I thought that would be about the halfway point to be honest- turns out I was only a third of the way there

 

[Wrighty]

@UpDaWahsAucks picks up an infraction for not bidding.

I thought you weren't far off to be fair I was going to counter you with 1.7m but the market exploded before I could post that.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Can we confirm if he’s active in the game?

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Supply and demand.

30% of your cap is the going rate for your top player. I don’t think you have a chance without a marquee signing (Johns, Thurston, Smith or Lockyer) from the Hodges stable

 

[Wrighty]

Can we confirm if he’s active in the game?

I have sent him a PM and tagged him during round one. Confirming he is still in the game sounds like common sense but the remedy is to wait for him to get three infractions and be eliminated. Fortunately his roundmaster round isn't until towards the end so nothing is being disrupted by him not playing or if he won't play. I am not PMing him again and I have no further way of contacting him and I changed the thread title to "Game underway!!" so he should see that if he comes online.

You could get a job at the tigers with that kinda thinking

The going rate doesn’t necessarily mean the smart rate. Pretty sure I haven’t owned any of those players previous 2 seasons.

 

[Wrighty]

Well Wizards you said you were going to set the cat amongst the pigeons and the cat has been set.

 

[Wrighty]

Well done Naumai on snagging Radley that is a good get at a good price.

 

[Chris Hodges]

Radradra 850k Muddogz (he may deduct 400K from the price) Hodges Stable

What did he sell for? Ie what is the price of hos contract? Sorry need it for the algorithm

 

[Wrighty]

He sold for $850K - you should use that price when assessing your interventions. In reality he can deduct 400K as roundmaster off the price but that shouldn't concern the Hodges Agency.

But that is the interesting thing about this game and something I myself thought at first.

However, I think 2 great halves vs 1 all time-great and 1 ordinary half is pretty even.

Take Andrew Johns, if he was paired with Brett Seymour. Then take Daly Cherry Evans paired with Cameron Munster. That is very subjective as to which is the better halves pairing.

Also what if you had Andrew Johns and Darren Lockyer in the halves but paired that up with Will Kennedy at full back and Jesse Ramien at center.

Then another team could have Hunt and Reynolds in the halves but paired up with Billy Slater at Fullback and Greg Inglis in the centres.

And that is not even getting into the forward packs. It is really subjective as to which team would be better.

But I agree that without an elite half you probably can't win. That is why I went so hard for Johns and Stacey today. All of us who got one of those halves will be deciding whether to spend large for a second one or use that money on a full back/monster forward pack or just have a good player in every position. The ones who didn't get one of those halves needs to be thinking how much they are willing to spend to get one or if they have another strategy to win.
