with the way things change around here, you miss a night or two of conversations you will fall right out of the loop. So I'm not surprised my team did the changes without my knowledge..

Who knows with the way things are looking atm, I might sell all my players and tank the ABBL, save all the cash to by Wazza Kennerly and some good trainees.

Am I allowed to do that goldfish? or will you start calling me names =P

On a completely irrelevant note and i cant believe i didn't think of before Kevin we could have named our team "C-Cat and the Pussycats" or "Captain C-Cat and the Cateneers" hahaha


Or how about "The Magnificent 5 & C-Cat"....Or "The Fighting Mongooses" thats a cool name (Ah futurama references.)


When the Beasts Roar all in the way shall be struck down!!!!!

well i already call you cop-a-sore-arse and that is exactly what is happening to you right now so very appropriate

you have to make a big strategic decision

last season we all looked at our league and there were 2 teams you couldnt beat adams guns and meateors, you were peobably 3rd best team in the league

you considered tanking but decided to go for it

adams guns and meateros fought eachother and metaeros faced you in the gf

then meateros played INSANE tactics in the gf and then 100% screwed up their gs with such a stupid move to play their starters in the scrimmage that some speculated that they were tanking the series on purpose

but if you hadn't put yourself in the position to be there you couldn't have done a stephen bradbury

so ask yourself, do you have any chance? any chance at all? if you do you should keep fighting and just keep yourself in with somesort of chance

on the other hand if you are going to go 0-22 and lose every game by 50 then you should sell all but your trainees, build your arena and tank - also swap with maggots in the pl

long post- sorry

having just tanked a full season i know for a fact if koop does that what ever side of the bowl he is on it will ruin that side of the pl.

i thought yoda said somewhere that if your tanking a full season not to put your name forward for season 3 ?

dont get me wrong i want koops in , just worried the pl will suffer badly from a team with no players.

Yes still deciding, but I'm not the type to give up so easily. But who knows. 0-4 is not looking good.

And yes Stephen Bradbury deserves that gold, don't bag him out LOL he trained long and hard to put himself in that position to win that race. Sure he got lucky, but he fully deserved that gold =P

Same can be said for me, sure I got lucky, but I deserve to be in the ABBL =P gosh right now there a half a dozen teams in div2 that are way better then mine...

LOL the only people who will suffer are my team mates...
It will be them who I will be letting down if I choose to play with 3 trainees all season.

This is why we wanted to only have a friends only PL, so teams can feel free to tank or go AWOL for weeks without getting any scrutiny from the PL.

Surely if you tank and buy Waza you'll buy a couple of gun 20-21yo trainees who will be decent anyway as well? Not like Div.3 teams in the east will be smashing him with 3 quality players and some fillers...

i am sure no-one would mind koop tanking if he was in the east

tanking in the west would really spoil things a bit

but then again i am not sure how the composite ladders will be done but if we are like last season where the top team gets 24 points, the second top 23 etc then i would assume that the bottom team in the west would get 13 points and the top team in the east would get 12

and yeah stephen bradbury is an aussie legend, probably one of my 3 favourite non-swimming and non-basketball aussie olympians in the last 20 years

yeh koop tanking wouldn't affect our conference i wouldn't believe, but it does make it bad for the guys in the higher division.

this is the first i heard of SAS swapping with Maggots as well, either way i think will be fine, they're both middle teams who can compete with the big boys and also be the upper tier teams of the lower division.

maybe a 3rd division to be created? hahah

I'm happy if you need to tank and stay in our side, sometimes you need to take a step backwards before you can go forwards.

I'm getting sick of our side always winning anyway :p

Tank if it's best for your team koop's and set yourself up for another crack at the ABBL in 2 seasons, I'm 100 % behind ya.
