I'm going to give each team a pre-season squad friendly. Announce your line-ups in your subforum and split the two teams how you see fit - if you want to play your best XV against your worst, then fine. If you want an evenly matched game, then fine. For the Canes and Sharks, this won't be possible, so you'll both have to pick your best XV and play each other. I'm also putting the Canes and Sharks on notice that unless there's some significant upswing in interest, then these teams may not be around for Season 7 - I may reduce the tournament to four teams. Benny has shown that with some thorough harassment you can get people to sign a contract.
Here's an interesting one. This is a table of the SCP score per minute played for each player in the main Seasonal Rugby Championship last season. This should be a reasonable reflection of who the best players in the sim are: Code: Name SCP Zach Poole 2.840 Scott Flack 1.225 Rob Cribb 1.089 Benny Read 0.986 Ed Ames 0.907 Bobby Blunder 0.904 Ginger Furball 0.875 Heath Davis 0.870 Lloyd Townsend 0.867 Lucas Schaw 0.842 Callum Laing 0.780 Geraint Martyn 0.739 Siege Morgan 0.732 Eddie Morris 0.726 Cobra Classif'd 0.715 Dion Alessi 0.713 Jake Howe 0.712 Andrew James 0.709 James McDougal 0.690 Zinzan Brumby 0.682 Sam Bakkum 0.677 Regan Hutchin'n 0.677 Aaron Hunt 0.675 Gareth Weaver 0.663 Dan Wayne 0.662 Charlie Downes 0.650 Samuel Yates 0.635 John Heads 0.631 Aaron O'Neill 0.626 James Hughes 0.621 Ben Manera 0.608 Jason Denton 0.601 Marcuss Deane 0.600 Gunner Shriram 0.598 John Anraad 0.586 Chuck Faldo 0.586 Matthew Scoble 0.575 Matt Dorn 0.575 Ali Farhat 0.571 Okoudou Gbagbo 0.568 Truman Lee 0.559 Jono Chewie 0.559 Nick Scott 0.550 Peter Jackson 0.544 Bruce Force 0.543 Simon Laing 0.538 Geoff Smith 0.536 Jonty Rhodes 0.533 Sam Verigotta 0.531 Uve Locity 0.523 Steve Cambridge 0.503 Ivan Ryabovol 0.502 Brett Gemmell 0.502 Michael Chung 0.494 Morgan Burridge 0.488 Chad Dyer 0.487 Os du Toit 0.481 Sam Graham 0.471 JD Hurricane 0.467 Chris Raftery 0.466 Niru Gurupur 0.465 Sachet Tuladhar 0.451 Ben Herd 0.449 Mate Perry 0.446 Nash Chance 0.444 Tom Delonge 0.443 Hal Teja 0.441 Herr Burger 0.441 Leumas Himann 0.439 Shane Masters 0.431 Alistair Son 0.427 Bill Kirk 0.423 Damien Taylor 0.415 Ben Hornby 0.408 Sam Green 0.406 Hache Emm 0.400 Paul Adams 0.397 Donald Boland 0.394 Dirk Diggler 0.393 Luke Popovic 0.390 Double Dong 0.389 Chris Warrin'n 0.387 Clayton Evans 0.381 Samuel Vimes 0.377 Ben Jacobs 0.376 Brett Hall 0.363 Jesse Harding 0.363 Alan Izett 0.362 Daniel Speirs 0.355 Tom Clough 0.352 Pretzel Spark 0.343 Luke Pilgrim 0.342 Simon Humble 0.339 Jordan Logan 0.335 Wes Welker 0.333 Ben Taylor 0.327 Duckworth Lewis 0.325 Rusty Downpipes 0.325 League Lover 0.322 Jonny Ridd 0.313 Bosh Burger 0.303 Choco Man 0.300 Reece Fittaman 0.300 Sticky Phlegm 0.297 Dave Eggman 0.290 Alex O'Driscoll 0.286 Henry Marshall 0.286 Soumyanil Das 0.285 Mathew Kaye 0.283 Zac MacDonald 0.281 Thad Bochat 0.278 John McGrath 0.278 DJ Edwards 0.277 Lee Sweetman 0.275 Carl Ochocinco 0.275 Ishan Narang 0.274 Paul Oz 0.270 David Dafter 0.270 Paddy Orr 0.267 Matt James 0.262 Mike Martyn 0.248 Haydos Bots 0.233 Jimmy Read 0.233 Chris Smith 0.229 Michael Edwards 0.225 Jaz Eightyfour 0.222 Kelvin Fung 0.220 Tool Man 0.216 Dexter Astele 0.214 Theo Miokovic 0.214 Luke Tyson 0.209 Amiya Shreyas 0.208 James Torres 0.203 Chris Devons'e 0.203 Ben Storer 0.192 Jack Dempsey 0.185 Peter Retzel 0.170 Eliott Witters 0.155 Adam Vago 0.141 Keith Rask 0.138 Zohaib Ikram 0.118 Alan Parker 0.100 Jake Wilkinson 0.077 Simon Nova 0.054 Ether Starris 0.019 Joshua Ritchie 0.004 Maroon Faithful 0.000 Oscar Wood -0.150

Noting that Martyn and Laing played 2 matches each and really shouldn't be playing reserve grade. Anyone who could get Luffers back to sign a contract would massively gain from the transaction, same with Farny and Niru.
Same applies to CricSim for those three players as well really. Such cunts getting good at sims and then bailing.
I thought I'd dropped off last season but that table puts me 4th of those who played FG regularly. ITSTL
