I've been at work all afternoon, so i don't have high hopes...........i just pray to god that some didn't steal Cam Smith from me

 

[fLIP]

I didn't.

I think in the panic of things I retracted bids on both my hookers. haha

 

[Matabele]

It gets pretty frantic at the end there.

Im still not sure if I got pipped at the post for Hornby. I hit the update button and it wouldn't load the page. 20 secs later I got the bidding over screen.

Why do you think I was sniggering. The game was meaningless until 5.55pm. :lol:

Thanks for telegraphing your punches boys........

 

[fLIP]

Thanks to those who stole El Masri, Lockyer, Hodges, Prince, Priddis etc. off me. Unfortunately I couldn't be around in the last half hour 😉

 

[Matabele]

Let's just say I am exceptionally happy with my squad. 😉

A good mix of current stars coupled with quite a few of the lads supposedly in contention for this year's rookie of the year.

 

[fLIP]

Young Stars???

My biggest purchase was a bloke who's never played a game of NRL... ever! Fingers Crossed.

 

[Matabele]

Dancers announce 13 new Signings

The Disco Dancers are pleased to announce there 13 intial signings for the 07 season. The first batch of players signed to Disco-Stu's squad include star players Cameron Smith, Matt Orford, Roy Asotasi, Steven Bell and Ryan Hoffman.
Disco-Stu was openly excited about his squads prospects, "look mate, im very pleased at how things have come together, we missed the last 4 hours of recruitment and were of course pretty worried, but in the end we got the core group we were after"
CEO, Disco was most pleased with some of the bargian buys the Dancers were able to pickup, "getting a seasond performer like Cameron Smith for 300k is out of this world, the guy kicks, is a potential playmaker, a workhorse, his well involved and can get across the line, he covers all scoring options, As Holdsworth for 150k, brett white for 30k, these are great deals"
When asked about the clubs restrictions in regards to recruiment time Disco stated "look we finalised offers for 17 players and netted 13, missing only Iosia Solilia, Brett Morris, Steve Simpson and Steve Price. we were expecting much worse and are extremely pleased especially considering we saved 100's of thousands on a number of players"
Coach Disco-Stu noted the balance of his squad whilst highlighting there were more big names to come "I think we have the right mix of youth and experience, Guys like Joel moon from the Bronco's is an exciting prospect or Christian Inu who i see as a less hyped Folou, Steve micheals is another and Shannon Mcdonnell, these guys are all primed to explode, expecially when you add experienced guys like Ox and Roy"
The Disco Dancers kick off there season at the Dancefloor this weekend and are looking to finalise there squad in the coming days
