Its fantastic reading all the comments in the <a href="http://tooserious.net/cards-on-the-table" target="_blank">Cards on the table[/url] post... especially that so many people have donated as a result of it.

Another benefit entitled to donors here at Too Serious, is that they/we can take part in the decision making for our TS Donor Supercoach team - UCantBeTooSerious.

Every week, over in the Donor Forum, we discuss tactics and options regarding our team, and we vote on almost every decision that needs to be made for it. I say almost, and it really is pretty much everything...   even picking a 3rd emergency from players who arent even playing, lol...  (FWIW Toy won the vote, haha)

I cant speak for everyone, but for me - its been a heap of fun so far, and really interesting too. Weve had a bit of an up and down season, being ranked as high as 1,293rd after round 4, and as low as 7,928th after round 1. Even after round 6, we had drifted out to be ranked 6,189th - but have clawed that back now and are currently ranked 3,881st. Our highest score so far was 2,391 in round 4, and our lowest was 1,861 in round 6.

We have completed 6 trades so far - 1 in round 3; 2 in round 6; 1 in round 7; and 2 last week. So we still have 18 trades left - and I cant wait to see what we decide to do with them...  and even more than that, i look forward to working them out together over the coming weeks/months.

In round 8, we scored 2101, for a weekly ranking of 27,198th - which isnt so good - but it was good enough for us to move up 898 positions overall.

Our trades last week were: Grimes to Shaw; and Curnow to Jacobs (who we MPPd to the backline to cover a zero) - Both look fairly good decisions so far.

We won 3 of our league games, and are sitting 1st or 2nd in all 3 of those leagues; and in the top 8 in the other two. An interesting point of note is that the league we are sitting in 1st place, actually is the best ranked league as well - TooSerious Donors league 297988 sitting 70th overall!

Over the break, as usuall, will be the individual scores of all our players for this round::::::::

In round 9: we are looking at a possible zero in the mids, so we will be surely making a trade or two this week again. Jump over to the Donor Forum and get involved in the discussions for this week..
