Your intentions are good.

It's just bad timing and bad match ups, that's all.

I don't like this comment. You say we're thinking about nothing but ourselves yet I believe you came in already decided that it would be the First scrimmage of next season. No talk about compromise, that's just how it is. So before you go calling us selfish please take a look at the bigger picture. The way I see it is that there is 3 times in a season where we can play close to our full line up in a scrimmage and that is: First scrimmage of the season, The last scrimmage and the All Star Weekend. This was organized at the start of this season, so you had plenty of time to suggest the All Star Weekend as a compromise, Not saying everyone would go for it but it would seem a little less "selfish" if you had have given us another option.

As for a few of you getting butthurt namely this last joker who posted saying something along the lines of "Don't bother with them, they are not worth our time" it's people like you who cause whatever animosity there is between our two communities. So grow up, K thanks.

Guys chill out a bit, not really worth the trash talk... Iwen, why nominate if you aren't going to put the effort in to do it properly.. Give Ralph some credit for trying to organise something out of the norm.

I have no problem playing in the tourney.

I could just play it, and run a scrub lineup. But what's the point in that?

The timing is not right, for a lot of us, as evidenced by some of the managers pulling out.

Nobody wants to risk a 5 week injury to a starter in the first week of the season, it's that simple.

I know what you are saying but the plan has always been for this coming week, the rules using the terms loosely haven't changed.. My mind is it this one round means this much then don't nominate..

I know seeing as you mingle with many of the aussie teams being the U21 coach that community spirit is in you iwen, put it in perspective, you have changed your mind don't try and put it back on the guy who has organised this.. You too Ranga!

All I said was bad timing.

I was happy to participate a month ago when this was about to start again, but seeing the date we will be playing, I don't want to play my scrubs, it'll be against the spirit of it, so I pulled out.

Or,

I can say nothing, and play my scrubs.

I am sorry too for any misunderstanding. I think Ralph has done a teriffic job organising this and perhaps I wasn't clear enough at the start and that is my fault. I said I would love to play but in the last week of this season. Next season first week I will probably run two trainees and three scrubs in the first scrimmage. I just can't afford injuries if I have any chance to win the title next season, my roster is very thin on stars, losing one would be devastating.

If you like I can advertise in our PL forums and in our Federation. There may be people that read them and not this.

Look, if it helps, I'll still play my game, just get whoever was my matchup to organise my scrimmage.

With millions in the bank I'll just buy someone else to replace any injuries.
