JW was also one game from joining you. If had been his opponent that got the injury and not him then...

yups it had jw's name all over it until that injury in the first minute.

yeah poor jw
so close but yet so far!

if he had gotten in to ABBL, that would make it so that all current XBBers have made the ABBL!

Calamari haven't had such luck. Ezyfrag (injuries), Robhoe (injuries), Possum Pete (logjam in III.6), lordy (been trying to train his perfect unique team himself), Mr Green (blew the team up to train) and Naker (team of just five monoskilled 40 year olds) have all struggled to make it. On the other hand in the last season ezlife made it, abigfishy won the cup and the season before Xerxes won the ABBL. I am the one letting the team down seem to be stuck at the semifinals forever.

If I land in the Great 8 then my tanking decision has been made.

Tanking it is:(

ohh okay, see you in season 34. =P

Thanks for the kind words Koop.

I'm wrapped to have finally made it to the big show, took me 12 seasons but the wait has been worth it.
And I'm where I wanted to be, in Sid's old seat on the blue side. :)

Also a massive congratulations to Koop for his win last season, hard work pays off!

So the luck of the gods is...

North Carlton Cavaliers and That's How You Get Ants can sit at the salary floor the entire season and still avoid relegation.

High School Drop-outs and Vios Violationers will need a $800,000 a week roster but may still end up in the relegation zone.

In reality I hope it isn't like this again in season 26.

Oh joy... To add to the excitement, I play HSD in the first game. Could be the decider to see who takes the lead for that relegation battle!
