Last Man Standing: NRL 2009-2013

[James90]

Thank God for the back-to-back rule.

 

[Simon]

I think Parra winning last night shows why we dont need the rule saying you can only back a team to lose once. Upsets are always going to happen in the NRL and can help trim the field massively in this comp when they happen.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Thank God for the back-to-back rule.

May be introduced in next running of comp after a straw poll, not fair to change rules halfway thru.

Some interesting choices for one or two tipsters to make...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Broncos

 

[Simon]

Cowboys. Dragons have a lot of players backing up from Friday night, might change this pick if Thurston gets injured in the test match.

 

[Ausage]

Broncos. Saved them for a special occasion like this

 

[James90]

Knights. Titans backs haven't looked too threatening of late and their forwards will be battered after Friday night. Newcastle also strong at home.

 

[luffy]

Wait, so what are the rules?

We can't use a team more than once, or just not twice in a row?

 

[Johnners]

Ermmmm, just noticed in your list, Luffy has used the 'dogs twice.

 

[luffy]

Yes, that's what got me thinking...

I'll pick 2 winners this weekend?

Ah, shoot. Had totally slipped through there, have to hold my hands up.

The rule is you can only use a team once per running of comp until (and I suspect this is likely to remain hypothetical) all sixteen have been used.

Luffy, strictly speaking, should be gonesville.

 

[biased indian]

Rules are ment to be broken

 

[luffy]

Well, give us another chance because you didn't remind me?

Please.

 

[Johnners]

I'm evil, and if it were up to me I'd so no because you could check for yourself

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hey, this is a competition run for the people, by the people. So it's up to everyone who's left in to decide 'cos I'm out & don't give a rats.

Clapo says no, so could Si, Samuel, Ausage, Stedders & Blewy also give an "aye" or "nay" to luffy living on, please.

 

[Johnners]

I'm out so It really doesn't affect me. Just sour grapes etc.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'm out so It really doesn't affect me. Just sour grapes etc.

Indeed. Having a shocker here; it's Tharmi who's left, not you.

In my defence I am necking 60mg of codeine every 4 hours so am a bit sketchy on details just now.

 

[luffy]

Ok, so two options people:

a. Keep me in the competition,

or

b. Kick me out and vote for me in BOTM.

 

[James90]

Nay. These things are always run on honesty and it's up to yourself to work out what you can and can't pick.
