he TIED i norm'd.
but i figured even with this in mind, he had HCA and a bunch of fat hippos to stop me.
so i'm happy to take the 5 point win.
next time will be late in the season and i'll have HCA. I'm really looking forward to it. :)

now it's on to the up and coming spartans before a very lazy effort in the cup game against #4 in australia.

lol i love how a 1-4 start has just blown me off the radar of the top teams. we dont mind this though. we do our best work dropping from the clouds like Efficient in the 2007 Melbourne Cup.

btw what have you you guys done in the past to improve your arena attendance when they have been struggling? i seem to have hit a wall and i dont know whether it is because of my poor start to the season or not, but i have struggled to get fans through the gates. even against the best teams i have been unable to make the income from my arena as i did last season.

hopefully the Rivalry clash on tuesday vs skyhook will draw a bit of a crowd. i feel like north melbourne atm

i would say your poor start + ur bleacher price is way to high for the performance ur team is giving..

$2 doesnt seem like alot, but i think especially with the bleachers, i have experienced them drop right off when my team played ugly. i had my tickets at 12, and when i dropped it back to 10, attendance jumped.. maybe try 11 and see what happens.. also, how is ur PR dept? do u have a decent guy or starter rubish, PR guy can make a big diff

I dont think anyone underestimates you bains, i think you have under-estimated some of your competition and that is why ur 1-4. i have no doubt ur record will improve and u will make the playoffs, but i honestly think at this point of time, there are 3 teams ahead of you.

Here here skyhooks,

PR manager is frankly more important than your doctor, spend the money and get the rewards.

Oh and Bainsy, I don''t under estimate you rather accept your current form. You have added 80k to your roster in 2 guys recently so I will certainly be watching to see your team's chemistry over the coming weeks.

lol the doctor is useless. but you all know how i stand on that because i have been polluting this forum with it for the past season.

massive game tonite. hippos playing alot of TIE. i would watch for a normal vs normal tonight and for hippos to have a point or 2 better enthusiasm. HCA with the beasts and Neil getting a bit of experience last night vs UAE. its all in the tactics i reckon tonight. whoever gets it right will take the win.

Beasts Red by 8

if anyone else has a view on how this game will pan out im keen to hear it

change coming weeks to tonight and i agree.. i am looking at your roster thinking "how the hell am i gonna beat this guy?"

the worst part is, i still know you have some cash, and there are prolly more signings to come!

Yes was a really good effort by Neil to Start as SF for AUS 21, but now is the interesting time...Do I throw a weaker team at the Hippos to continue my Cup run OR do i risk it?? Hmmmm....

Got a big one against Rangas as well on saturday so this is very interesting. I think i have the team to take you ALL down atm but still not sure. I am thinking i need 1 more player as a backup for my Guards as 3 is not enough to properly manage minutes with a cup still going!!!

Will be interesting tonight.

Neeber

When the Beasts Roar all in the way shall be struck down!!!!!

not for a while. people seem to be overpaying severly for guards atm so i cant afford the players i want.\ plus i wont be earning more money to pay for those players until i get some attendence back. 50% simply isnt cutting it with the salaries i added over the past few weeks

yeah i thought about that bains on the way to work this morning after posting that... i figured low attendance + 80k salary = alot less income than you are used to!
I havent noticed the high prics on guards, but i have pretty much been looking at trainees... no more transfers for me for quite some time, need to build up the cash!
hopefully we get a full stadium tonight, i need the $$$$
