Honestly I'm surprised with the result given my recent loss to Hadders in the cup. I had my 140k PG out injured so effectively it was my 480k salary team vs WA's 820k salary team. Prior to this game I was thinking about selling down a bit for the rest of the season but after this win who knows...

No doubt things are starting to heat up especially those who are near relegation.

No doubt about it.

Im quietly confident that HA can beat Pancakes current line up, on a level playing field with sufficient use of enthusiam and the appropriate amount of bribes, but reality is that HAs is less likely to win as many of its remaining games as what C-Cats mob is.

Should I roll over now and build up enthusiam and wait to the last minute to reinforce the line up for a relegation series most probably against the vastly more experienced and deeper pocketed Iwen or should I fight to the death (most probably mine) in a battle for 5th that I cant conceivably win.

Worst of all is that if HA relegates it will be a much tougher task to bounce back than what it faced the previous time it was dumped from the ABBL because of the more significant changes that would need to occur to its roster

LOL if I were you I'll sell everyone... and keep the salary floor and train up players.
If you do that you will have about 1.5mil extra in the bank for div2 to play around with. Just cut your loses.

Or you can continue this path and get destroyed by two ABBL behemoths in pancakes or kynlala knights. Pick your poison wisely my friend.

Another option is to hope that koops or BHB shoot themselves in the foot and hand over the 4th and 5th positions to you and pancakes.

It had occurred to me that Koops or BHB might be financially better off coming 5th rather than 3rd or 4th.

Could easily happen as CCats mob could quite conceivably win its last 5 games

I however doubt that they (Koops or BHB) have any interest in coming 6th, which leaves that poison to HA.

HCA might be an inadequate headstart for HA given Iwens experience, deep pockets and Kosac.

Not in my nature to not roll the dice

(bugger snakes eyes- again)

Hang on Koops didnt your mob pull off one of the biggest scandles in Game Engine history a few seasons ago to survive a relegation series and stay in the ABBL?

two ABBL behemoths in pancakes or kynlala knights.


Such a relegation series between the two ABBL big boys would be a lot more interesting and even than having either beat up on HA

snake eyes for the win!!
lol means you have 1:36 chance to beat iwen.
my new recruit matty mottram is nicknamed after that.

Yes that was a memorable game and it will go down as one of koop's greatest wins ever. A club defining win.

So are you insinuating that another event of that magnitude could be in for the making during this seasons relegation battle?
The only thing that could top that is a game 3, triple OT, 1 point win. Good Luck HA. *has visions of snake eyes*

Well that win secured my place in the top 5 so now I can sell off parts of my team and ride out the rest of the season in cruise control and not worry about being relegated. :)

I'll let you guys have all the action. The relegation battles sounds waaaaaaaay more exciting than the championship battle.

They are! But as always a brilliant job Monkey. A no-star roster (although this season there was one standout) of all efficient flexible players kicking butt everywhere. Great work. I will keep a greedy eye on those you sell and maybe in two seasons they will be playing against you!
