Widdops Stats?

My halves are Foran (yay) and Sezer (meh)

Need some punch.

 

[Misanthrope]

He's an 8/6/8

 

[Dutchy]

Eh, only better in defense.

 

[Misanthrope]

I'd argue he's also a better player than Aidan Sezarian Section.

 

[Dutchy]

Also, how many can we retain at seasons end?

Instead of a flat out keep 10 drop the rest again.

Can it kinda be like the old RSC, same squad but have two caps.

Keep, up to 10 players with stats of 7/7 or with a primary attribute higher Ie 9/4, 8/5 etc.
And also keep, if you choose up to 5 players statted 7/6 or less. So we can still scout, and hold future talent, and be rewarded for it.

You and I both know Numbers > Names ;-)

Jennings would have me interested.

Given Jennings is likely to stay at 9 next rerate, he's too valuable to lose I think. I won't say he's a 10, but if he had managed to continue the form of last year to this year he might have got there.

Willie Manu for Danny McGuire? :sarcasm:

What are McGuires digits?

I'd prefer to keep it uncomplicated. I mean, I opted to let go better players to keep guys with potential last year.

How many did we retain last year? I thought it was 13-15?

 

[Drew-Sta]

8/5/7/5/8 ala not worth your time.

 

[Dutchy]

Was 10 I'm pretty sure.

13 I think, or 11. Can't remember.

There was resistance to such an idea, which I understand.

I vote for 17 if we're going that way. Keep a full squad worth. If you have quality juniors, you can still keep them that way.

The one thing I want more focus on is juniors. They're worthless in the current set up

17's an awful lot. Could mean we don't get any decent talent coming 'off contract', but I'm willing to trial it this year and we can always revise it to a lower number if we find it renders the draft joyless.

 

[afinalsin666]

I reckon lower than we had this year, plus two or so spots for juniors, so it forces you into keeping the core and making hard decisions on what that entails.

Or keep juniors free maybe.

 

[Bazal]

Well, why not make it more interesting?

17 total. 12 players over 7/7, and the rest must be under? Or something like that.

All I'm concerned about is that we'll constantly be revolving players around the league and won't get much of an opportunity to build a side.

That's why I come up with the lower stated cap.

I'm fine with something like that, just as long as we don't go down the road of having RSC sides and contracts and all that other bullshit.

 

[Dutchy]

Thats exactly what I suggested :lol:
