I use it for the Limburger Files

That was Frothies’ stats

I am still in my second season at the Wonders

So? I didn't say this season

1. TheInjuryFactory is a poopoo head

2. Being a Captain comes with a lot of responsibilities

3. I am looking forward to finding out if I will #LoveTheBye

1. The Bye was just like a normal week, plenty of gatecrashers wanting to be part of the Bombers match thread, only difference being there was no match.
2. Moves are afoot for another bid, or maybe more, for expansion. If two bids are launched, and one is aimed at eliminating the Bye, does that bid need to withdraw to prevent the Bye becoming institutionalised? Quite the conundrum for any potential bid/s.
3. A successful expansion, further expanded team lists and no sanctioned tour of the boards? Clubs are being left to their own devices in relation to recruiting, some are doing much better than others. Maybe the Bombers were correct when claiming that sending the same tired old posters on the same Vanilla tour was not going to fix the recruiting problem. More players are joining since they stopped.

They would want to get a wriggle on if they are aiming for S35.

Tough look for our dear friend Jabba73.

How so?

More rookies in this season than the 4 previous seasons.

Thanks to VanillaMod for providing the proof for my assertion.

So, more rookies in this season as I asserted.

No point complaining that the OOBs inflated the figures (if that is what the * is claiming to do), they took rookies that would have otherwise been available to the existing teams. The proof is in the number of new rookies, not in which club they plied their trade.

Yeah that's not how it work mate

 

[Jabba73]

There is still a few days available.

No rule saying they need to be for next season either, a year of consolidation for the new team before trying to create more would not be a bad thing.

 

[Jabba73]

Ah, yes it is. I only asserted there were more rookies, after clubs ... including the new one ... were left to their own devices.

You have provided confirmation that my assertion was correct and I will thank you again for doing so. So ...

Thank You

There’s one more rookie than the equivalent season last year—-despite Turbo going on a recruiting spree & the Furies going on a recruiting spree.

I think it shows that BigFooty posters are slightly more engaged during the June/July off-season than in Jan, thus making recruiting slightly easier

 

[ClarkeM]

Maybe stop recruiting and start harvesting. Idiots.

We harvested organs & recruited a recycled HARPSichord

Apart from season 30, it would appear so.
