[Misanthrope]

A bunch of games up. Will give AFS and whall15 another 5-6 hours before I run their games.

 

[Bazal]

I quit. Can't win here, can't win ASRL, f**k my life...

 

[Drew-Sta]

This tipping caper is doing my head in

Were you really expecting to beat Sydney? They're in red hot form. Hell, they beat me two weeks ago.

If I may offer some advice, I'm not noticing a whole lot of changes in your weekly line-up or tactics. Something as simple as switching defensive or interchange strategies can have a pretty huge impact in my experience.

Roma, Scoregasms, and New Zealand are benefiting from that because the new coaches have come in and made a few changes.

Good Game HappyBadger, well done.

 

[Bazal]

Nah probably not, but I was expecting to beat GC over there and be more than 9th here and about 10th over there

Anyway I do know that changes can make a huge difference...But I always used to get in form using the same tactics and form and it worked in the past, where minor tweaks never seem to for me. And I've had some annoying injuries most weeks. Ah well. Maybe time to tweak it.

 

[Misanthrope]

I'm just eager for the post-season to shake things up. Some sides with bloated rosters (mine included) have been able to coast while others are doing really well with weak sides.

Will be good to have a proper off-season of rerating and drafting.

 

[Drew-Sta]

I just changed a lot up for me. I don't know if it will do any good, but my form is dropping and the sim seems to like change?

I can't preach change overmuch. My lineup and strategies very rarely change. I've had over a decade to hone my strategy though :lol: Started the ASRL back in 2001.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetah! :lol:

 

[Misanthrope]

All games up except for the test-match.

You're welcome, AFS

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

:lol: The reds/quagmires match was okay
Shame about the result for me, but at least no one can accuse me of playing one-sided :lol:

 

[Misanthrope]

:lol:

I thought that when I saw the result. Good on you for not fielding a weak team for Ipswich to help out your main side. It's been done in the past, although not in the FFBRL era.

 

[HappyBadger]

I haven't done RLSIM in several years (if I told you why, I would have made Colleen McCullough cry)...but I am no spring chicken when it comes to tactics, either...

...EIRL (a lot), ASRL (a little)...

...I have a lot to learn, yet, too...and it would help if they had actual rugby league league here where I actually live!

...rugby league...LEAGUE! Sounds too Liquid Snake, doesn't it!

 

[MrCharisma]

I'll add my two cents worth of support, even though I think Bazal is a dick.

FFBRL and ASRL have been kind to me because I've worked on my strategy and I've found something that works. It took some tweaking and I'm pretty sure my first half of the year was average.

I also don't believe I have a great roster. Hell, I got sucker punched by losing SBW and S. Burgess only last season.

If you'd like some suggestions I'd be happy to look over your side.

 

[Bazal]

Not sure what I did...but thanks anyway I guess?

 

[HappyBadger]

Good Game HappyBadger, well done.

This may be one for the archives, wow! Great game!

I believe you argued particularly hard against his Bodene Thompson rerate request.
