    Easy Tiger… I had hoped it would be all rolled over given the SSP deadline was Wednesday. Obviously we can’t start now, I have my doubts on getting off the ground at all… happy for people to continue trading. The draft will just need to be streamlined to make it faster if we eventually get going.

    Let’s push everything back a week… I think @port_leschenault and @TerryinBangkok are the only two not have woken from their slumbers

    Walesy has said he will get the site rolled very soon.

    also, I have other coaches willing to stand in to make delistings and help with the draft (if required)

    Am indifferent as to whether we go ahead or not. But cannot see how we complete a draft starting next week when we have historically been tardy. Why not start the draft at 7pm the day after walesy updates the site. Send notice to every member of the commencement and then start on time. Perhaps when faced with urgency (e.g., 6 hour deadline) members will become active?

    That still leaves me with 24 - are we going with 30 or 26 for the list size?

    Now the site has been rolled over, do we think we might be able to the draft going this Friday instead of waiting till Monday? Would give us a weekend to hopefully get a raft of picks out of the way.

    Fine with me as long as we all have a bit of notice for delistings etc.

    Hi all,

    Any rebuilders here, I'm happy to put my first and second rounder this season on the table for a genuine top end player, mid or fwd. Have youngsters Weightman and Campbell as well.

    has anyone got a direct line to @port_leschenault

    I have a TS veteran coach who has offered to step in to help with delistings for any coaches that miss the deadline (including pl) and also the draft but keen to do everything we can to chase him down before any of that needs to take place.

    If we start the draft next Monday with 6 hour drafting deadlines we have16 days to get through 108 picks! :eek:

    Any last minute interest in players such as Hardwick, Charlie Cameron, Fritsch (ie. the 'older' guys on my list now) happy to entertain offers of picks and/or youngsters, and of course a RUCK!

    Since ladders are unreliable at this tome of the season, could we have a draft order and a confirmation that we now kick off at 7pm EST on Monday 27 February please? Oh, and when it is about to happen perhaps a dedicated draft thread?
