Official Team Thread Roys Team Thread - Season 15 (2012)

[Cheetah]

bloody new-fangled shite. If it ain't broken don't fix it I say. Note this refers to the BF site, not the Roys team

The Roys, like a well oiled machine!

The Roys, like a well oiled machine!

... anyways ... hey Reardo we play the Bombers 3 times, rounds 1, 8 and 15. I went over to their thread and suggested we make Rd 8 the "Late Bloomer's Cup" match* and beez agreed. So, yeah.

Also, Reardo, I'm ready to delist all the folks that didn't lob in any way shape or form between seasons despite PMs etc. That's these guys :
10. Paul D
14. Secular Bicep
15. adey115
19. FitzroyRamone
20. kellymagic
30. The Shining
31. bigbunyip14
32. Mr Ripper
47. Wild Kangaroo
58. Roy FitzLion
?. lioness
Shame to see some of them go, actually, eg Mr Ripper, Roy Fitzlion, lioness, bb14, Paul D, but they haven't turned up at all. So I guess it's time. It just takes us announcing the delistings in the Squad Lists/Info thread, and editing the squad list accordingly. If you're happy with that I'll go ahead and do it.

Finally, Fighting Fury Fumbles has announced his retirement so his last run might be the upcoming praccy against us. I'm happy to stay on the ground after the final siren and clap him off, can we make that a co-ordinated team thing. I said clap, not jack.

 

[Freakie]

Sounds fine to me Mobbs. I'm too lazy to look but will that leave us with enough players?

 

[Mobbs]

Yes these players were not counted when the squad was submitted.

 

[Freakie]

Then I suppose we can delist them all, I'd hate to have Juggs getting all up in here about us having inactives!

No inactives. N.O. Inactives. N.O. I.N.A. C.T.I. V.E.S.

 

[Broken]

There isn't a late delisted deadline that could lead to us losing more points is there

 

[Mobbs]

Nope, so long as you keep 22+ on your list, you can delist who- and whenever you like.

 

[Freakie]

stumbled across this:

 

[bigbunyip14]

I'm back. But not for long. Just thought I'd say that I'm retiring. Haven't been around in yonks. Bye!

 

[Mobbs]

Well that's the weirdest departure I've seen in a while! Thanks for the memories BB14!

 

[pantskyle]

How will we recover from this?

 

[Cheetah]

Bye Bunyip. Don't get caught in the headlights!

 

[Cheetah]

stumbled across this:

That's really funny except the bit about my team.

 

[Reardo]

I'm back. But not for long. Just thought I'd say that I'm retiring. Haven't been around in yonks. Bye!

Um, ok.

That was bizarre.




Yeah Mobbs, delist the deadwood, it's a new era at the Roys. The "PANTS" era is now.

 

[pantskyle]

I'm sad that The Great Grape Ape isn't our mascot.

The kids would love it.

 

[Mobbs]

[pantskyle]

Bender_ seemed to be posting again.

So does team selection get based on posting in the previous match?

I'm guessing you counted them manually

I'm just making suggestions, team selection is purely what Reardo chooses it to be. But in general the concept is to reward people who are active.

That is correct fine sir.

I posted twice as much as that.

I counted the whole thing manually ... please don't make me recount ...
