    Well, we're lacking a thread for this (I know it's not the ITM Cup) but nevertheless pre season matches kick off soon.

    Once again looking forward to another exciting Hurricanes season. Ben Franks is going to be huge injection for our front row trio. Also looking forward for the likes of Ardie Savea, James Marshall and Blade Thomson (Oh and Proctor I guess) getting a bit of game time to show their worth.

    Otago to make semi's

    We need to get a superbru comp going for this.
     
  4. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Yep. No doubt we will.

    I was also thinking of doing a fantasy comp too, if it was to get enough interest. Instead of pissing around with a draft that would never be completed. I'd send everyone a list of all players and they'd send them back in preference order - position by position. Then there'd be a draft order so people would just get players next on their list that are available.

    Points wise I'd use Foxsports.

    But only if people are keen?

    Why not just make a private league with foxsports then...?
     
  6. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Because everyone can have the same players. Rather than having a draft system. Plus people have to log in

    This way it tests depth and knowledge. Plus there could be trading and shit.

    However I doubt there'll be enough interest.

    theres no otago in the super 15 or whatever the fuck its called now

    There is, they are called the Highlanders - based in Otago, previously called the Otago Highlanders.

    But no fucking way they even coming close to the semis.

    Crusaders, Sharks, Hurricanes, Stormers, Brumbies, Reds - top 6.

    Please remember to invite me.

    And for this, although there are better one's than Fox.

    they are not otago though, the regional names were dropped long ago

    I don't think the Highlanders will have a bad season but like always will drop off at the end. I reckon they'll come about 8th.

    Also have to disagree with your top 6. I just can't see there being 2 Aussie teams.

    It's really a season which could go either way, personally I reckon the Canes will gun it this season but then again that wasn't expected last season (by many) and things could change this season. Even the Blues might actually get some wins on the board, just so much that could go either way. Give it a good 5 rounds and the season should be a bit better to analyse.

    Also forgetting the 2012 champions is ITSTL.

    Kings to phuck shit up.
     
  14. Gazza GJ Weaver

    Why have they dropped the region names?
     
  15. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Because the Highlanders don't just represent Otago. Like all other NZ teams. The names were dropped a long time ago.
     
  16. Jabba HJ Bots

    Because places like West Coast weren't associated to anybody or they didn't want to "fall under" Cunterbury IIRC
     
  17. Droos JP Rhodes

    Kings to get raped like the cheap whores they are imo.
     
  18. Droos JP Rhodes

    Fuck, completely overlooked the Chiefs, lol.

    Top 6, revised edition: Crusaders, Sharks, Chiefs, Hurricanes, Stormers, Reds.
