Phoenix v bye The Phoenix wouldn’t want to take the bye lightly, after falling to the Demons last week. The bye is unbeaten so far this season, so the Phoenix will need to be on their guard. The bye players are unlikely to feature in any of the awards at the end of the season. For example...www.bigfooty.comDiscussion - Post bye blues
We now have a large sample size of how teams have fared AFTER having their bye. As you can see below, it was good for those teams that had the bye at the start of the season, but bloody ordinary for teams in the second half of the season. What will this mean for the Swamprats this week, and the...www.bigfooty.comOfficial Match Thread - S34 Second Preliminary Final - Baghdad Bombers v East Side Phoenix at Abdu Prison

Coming in 7th spot is a player you see growing in credibility season after season - long time Swamprats captain philreich. While posters go to the moon and then crash down to zero, phil is like an S&P500 index fund. Growth will be steady and slow, but over time you know what you're going to get and season after season you see reliable returns.
Since breaking into the top 20 in Season 29, he's stayed up there ever since and he's now followed up a top 10 finish last season with his highest placing ever.

Yet another season goes by, phil has kept on adding to the league with his efforts in diligently posting the matches on Sunday, writing match thread OPs, and showing up and leading from the front in match threads engaging teammates and opposition alike.
Phil is the quintessential 'good guy' of the league, able to humour any audience with his classic dad jokes, chat about sports and life, able to switch seamlessly between Qooty to casual chat whichever direction the thread goes. He also doesn't mind keeping people in suspense while posting a close game.
While the season began with 3 squad/team sheet errors and his team ended up on negative points, it's all positive for phil in Season 34. Well done on another strong season!
