[C A Iversen]

Finally been able to edit the start of this thread!

Have an updated list of likely participants. Have I missed anyone?

As long a I am there that is all that matters lol!

Seriously....I still need a few months of practice as I am still getting my ass kicked by my mate......I may as always start stealing his style hehehe :bravo:

 

[C A Iversen]

Man are you the Ali of this tournament !

I bet your so skilled that after a knock-on against you, your animated players get down on their knees to beg forgiveness ! :huh:

You must be the outright, red-hot, solid gold, dead-set-certainty, and absolute supreme favourite. It will be a miracle if anyone gets within 20pts of you !

I'm glad I'm such a rank underdog.

Whatever!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The more me and the boys learn the more we realise there is so much more to learn....then "relearn" a often we are so off on learning something new we get done by something old that we have missed.

As Gregan said...."RUGBY IS CYCLICAL"

And there'll be the 4 of us fighting for it, although you may enjoy that too much GG

Any thoughts on players being added to squads eg Tony Brown into Sharks?

Also, no quick taps when only 5m out, as it's a straght fall over for a try, or let it go? In 05 it was a given try, although must say haven't faced it much with 06...

 

[woosaah]

and do we get given real names? or are people going to call me woosaah, gay guy gay guy, dobrien7 etc? it can may get annoying lol

 

[dobrien7]

Well that's kinda up to those with nicks as Iversen, Horton and myself - O'Brien, all basically use our names anyway. Plus some of us know the real names anyway...

Quick taps are not that much a problem......even picking from a scrum on the line can be stopped.....basically the bottom line is if you are stupid enough to end up in that position on your line then it is your fault if you get scored on.

A problem I see with the game is be the early tackle....whether we should let it go (as there is a risk doing it so it can backfire sometimes) or whether we should police it and give the one who was offended some advantage (lucky for matrix style replays seeing everything in detail).

 

[dobrien7]

True with taps sh*t happens I spose aye... early tackles - they happen now and then and can really interupt your play. May be hard to judge whether done deliberately, and what advantage to give too...

 

[Gay-Guy]

On ps2 doing the early tackle is the only way to kill the offloads. On Xbox it can be a bit risky....the issue is....you do not get penalised for tackling off the ball.

Maybe in a couple of months when everyone gets better we will decide whether early tackles are killing the game and whether it should be dealt with.

 

[dobrien7]

So you get penalised in PS2 for early tackle? We're all Xboxers down here...

 

[Gay-Guy]

No you don't get penalised on ps2 or xbox......but on ps2 it is easier to execute the early tackle.....

Somehow I get the feeling that the early tackle will be banned considering the very good players will stuff up other people when they do it.
