Seasonal Rugby: Season 6 Discussion

FFS. This is answered in the post prior to yours.

The onus is on teams and owners to contract 30 players. If it doesn't happen, the season doesn't start. I can't see that each team will get 30 players in the short term.

 

How many Celtic Provinces guys would be Ireland eligible?

Tart, Paddy, Uppercut, Ethan... Is that right? Anyone else?

 

I thought he was eligible for Spain.

 

cpr's a good call. Neither Flash nor Fan09 are in this sim.

 

Hmmm. This is what's in the DB

So, last season we had:

Provincial: England, New Zealand, Australia, BaaBaas
Sub-Provincial: NSW, VIC, QLD, Asia

I guess not much has changed. I can add Ireland to the Sub-Provincial, but then there's a bye. RSA are still a way off a team. Could potentially go the whole hog and look to have North England/South England teams, North Island/South Island teams and Ireland. No justification for a Scottish, Welsh, Italian or French team at the moment and no reason to combine them into a horrible conglomerate.

 

Yes, I'm happy with the top tier Aus/England/NZ/BaaBaas group.

But that second tier is a bit shit. The alternative is to get rid of the 2nd tier altogether. No NSW/QLD/VIC games, no Asia games. Perhaps that would be more sensible?

Could be replaced by a different tournament - An Australian championship (NSW/QLD/VIC), A British Isles Championship (N/S England, Ireland) and a New Zealand Championship (North Island vs. South). But that'd still be a bit contrived.

 

I've thought about the Fantasy Rugby sort of thing before. As you say, the player ratings (hopefully more objective than subjective) would make it relatively easy.
