I cant see you competing for 6th unless you have a change of direction.. Big salaries dont necessarily mean wins, so if you keep doing what ur doing you will be competitive..

Financially, i am making a killing compared to what i was making last year.. Hopefully by end of next season we will be competing for 3rd-4th!

Not all luck, not even mostly luck, sorry if I sounded rude, mostly I think you have done so well through being smarter than your opponents including me. Great tactics, best use of enthusiasm in the league and excellent game shape as well as just enough good players has been the formula for success. The luck has been winning all the 50-50 games that came down to the wire. But you got yourself to that situation by great managing. It looks like everyone respects the job you have done including me. :)

Beasts Red have taken the lead and that is probably how it will stay. "The manager is doing all he can to improve the team." I am, I even sold off my second oldest player which was a pity, but I have a good bank balance now and am looking for players again. You can expect several more changes from the Hippos before we have a lineup we think can beat the Beasts, Blaze, Plebs, Rangas etc.

Sorry Bainsy, I think HCA and match ups are better in the Ranga's favour than yours. Otherwise I only slightly differ in points! Good luck to all except Fred's Falcons! :)

So a few blow outs but, the big surprise was Rangas vs. Bains... Did Bains TIE or Ranga CT, either a poor strategy or a smart strategy respectively..

Well looking at the gameplay stats you had strong (high) for IS and the Ranga's had a prof (low) in ID kinda points to a CT bash from Ranga. I would also assume that your 'rivalry' would stop you from underestimating him and playing TIE, just wanted to stir the pot a little. Well think of it this way bains, you should be able to push up your enth now as their doesn't seem to be a way for you to move out of 4th.

I did exactly what I needed to do to cement 3rd spot, also they squares the rivalry ledger between me and bains 2 - 2 over 2 seasons :) there's also the little detail of Bains being my teams "hated rival", so putting on a good performance for the fans is always crucial!

12 points suggest it would have been a pretty close game had we both played norm.

BB sure is a strange game, Bains with double the player salary as me should have just walked through with a comfortable win, regardless of Enthusiasm levels or whatever else.
i'm not going to give everything away, but i had to put at least 35 points of ID on the court to make this play work right.
and it's also very handy when your big men shoot 3's like they did. 5 frm 5 between them (and 10 frm 20 from my team certainly helps.)

We did however nearly fill my newly fitted stadium to capacity, and i've had a glimpse of the money i'll hopefully be making from now on... and i like it... i like it a lot. means i still have more then enough room in my salary cap for another star player next season when i have the spare coin.

Good game Bains, and congratulations to all the other winners (even tho most were expected.)
