Im seems I ended up with a decent squad, I hope the rookies I picked perform well. Hunt is tipped to be the next best thing. Lets just wait and see hey. I was spewing someone took locky from me at the last min. Somehow I ened up with $1.2m left in the kitty. What can I do with that money now?

So if Mark O'Meley scores 1 try and makes a cominded 40 tackles/hitups I recieve 8 points hey?

E A & Glenn

Thanks for that, I got up today and the money was correct, therefore I am able to recruit a couple more. In hindsight I am probably better off seeing what is available. Best of luck boys.

That's what it says, I think Pigskin is wrong, note the word "additional" that I highlighted off the web site. I think that makes it clear.

 

[Pigskin]

I was wrong once in 1999 ;-)

copied and pasted from the Help section under FAQ's

"Player X scored a try and he's a forward, where's my forward try?


That's not how a forward try works. A forward try is scored if a player makes a combined total of 40 tackles and hit ups. Unlike 2003, there is no tackling efficiency rating.

The other requirement is that your Virtual NRL team must pick the player in a forward position. That is, either back row, front row, hooker or interchange forward. However, a player doesn't have to play in the forwards in the real NRL to score a forward try. If Danny Buderus plays at halfback and makes 35 tackles and 5 hit ups, he still earns your team a forward try if you have him at hooker or interchange forward."

but seriously, this only confuses further after reading your cut and paste above hmmmmm



Oink !

Yep.

Last season it was 25 min tackles and 15 min hitups or 35 tackles at 90% efficiency.

It looks like they've changed it to 40 and the mixture doesn't matter.

I think they changed it to one method as some players were doing 35+ tackles and 15+ hitups and people expected 2 forward tries.

EA I realised last year theat your Gk, wingers and fullback + forwards work rate go a long, long, long, long way to being successfull. In that regard you have done quite well. It shoul;d be interesting to see who is where after 5 rounds. Best of luck and I look forward to round 7. I hope that the ground will be big enough for the bumper crowd. :alcho:

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

A lot of the squads look pretty strong, this could be a lot of fun. Cheers Johnsy.

but having tried all 3 recruiting styles, live draft is by far the fairest imho
