My current starting 5 would cause some headaches in this league right now... My guards are hugely under salary compared to their actual skills at this point. Gonna need to promote or start over!

Haha, yeah I could probably "sneak" passed those guys, perhaps even knock yourself off! ;-)

Wow it really has tightened up in the Great 8 with very little between first and fifth.

Next few weeks will be very interesting with the way the draw has panned out.

Windies continue there quest to be the aggressor and obtain "buy in players" with a multi hundred thousand dollar bid on the 160K per week Aussie Clyde Ó Cuileann (8157597) and others.

Meanwhile the other "overachieving on a shoe string budget team" (meant as a compliment), HADDERS is now a game clear in front in the great 8

Great to see Vios back in the forum.

The death of the forum and the fact I backed myself at the 250 to 1 odds that were on show at the start of the season have both been motivating factors in my pursuit of a return to the ABBL

Some good banter going on here. Keen to see who pulls the trigger on purchases first. In 2.1 there has been a lot of transfer movement by the mid tier teams, however like here the main contender are keeping their cards pretty tight to their chests.

Surely Windies will land a big move soon

Bains!
I'm very curious to see the skill set of the kid you just paid 2.15 million for!!!
23yr old 76k MVP centre... not sure how it could be worth 2.15million.

May have got carried away a little. Well their was this Norwegian team throwing their weight around in the bidding so I kind of had to show him a lesson. Probably at the expense of my wallet. He will fit well into the training regime which is a positive, and now I have 3 Aussie trainees who will be quite polished in 2 seasons time.

Sid you have no idea what it's like being in a dead forum. Come check out mine some time, it's a ghost town. It's the primary reason why I've decided to chuck it all in and get the hell out of there. I was having second thoughts as the top in the opposite conference made an early bid. Can't possibly handle another season like this, if I don't promote, it could be the end of me!

Haha Im sure you could get me easily with a starting 3 lol. But i have made my aim so Im happy, just hope I dont end up somewhere dead like you did. Didnt have much to say this season cause lets face it Im tanking & havent done anything. But I started the season with a ton of problems.

Tiny arena

fixed

Negative bank balance

fixed

Roster of old guys

fixed

Trainees unbalanced with mainly only guard skills

fixed

Trainees nearing the end of their potential

fixed

So I think I have had a great season. Even better there are 2 great 18 yos in the draft so Ranga & I get 1 each as a reward for our bad season. :D

PS: I never got a "pants down" review so here is 1 for me.

"Brilliant team wonderfully managed in the toughest D3 came close to promoting several times & had a lot a cup success but hey Ricky, you can't compete in 2.3 with no big men what are you doing?"
