    Weekly XV thread

    Now for the most eagerly anticipated thread of the week. Big Ginger 8's weekly XV thread (I'm beginning to think it deserves it's own forum). This week it's the best Subs XV. With the condition that they are subs at club level not international. Found it hard to pick players from the Top 14 as I can't watch it and it's hard to know actual starters from H Cup squads.

    1. Whichever one suns for Toulouse be it Steenkamp or Poux
    2. Cronin
    3. Kubriashvili
    4. Ryan
    5. Pierre
    6. McLaughlin (I'm sure there are plenty who are better but can't think of them off the top of my head)
    7. Todd
    8. Samo
    9. Leonard
    10. McCalister
    11. Davies
    12. Twelvetrees
    13. King
    14. Fussell (see McLaughlin)
    15. Buttin

    I'm surprised you included Boss. I'd rate Leonard a bit higher at the moment. Also kind of trying to get a nice spread.

    Are we talking about the same Leonard?

    Why is making an XV thread illegal or something?

    The fact that they often turn into ****fests and take time to sort out causes a problem.
    If everybody can play nice, then it wouldn't be an issue, really.

    Best XV made up of XV players in each position.

    The Best XV^2, if you will.

    You don't like you don't have to look at them. They don't get commented on and fade away fast enough. I enjoy making them recalling as many players as possible. Not really childish. Why use my name? What purpose does it serve?

    @Draggs I think most tend to ignore mine apart from your, Olyy's, Feic's and Cymro's inevitable annoyed/insulting comment.

    We are mods, not annoying, just trying to keep everything under control.
    If you think you can do a better job, then moderate yourself.

    I'm trying to see if this post has a meaning and either, by my own ignorance or by the post in fact having no meaning, I'm failing.

    It's funny I'm so often called childish on this forum. I often enjoy the forum but not stuff like this I can deal with insults but this is becoming fairly constant. I'm sure there's a strong chance something will happen for this insubordination. Don't worry I won't be posting for a small while anyway.

    Mate, I don't know if you think I/we are trying to target you; We aren't! If you fail to see what we construe as childishness then I don't know what to do.
    We have no problem with your contributions to this forum. The problem is when you often attack (or at least I interpret it as an attack) on other members for a differing viewpoint, or drag threads into nothingness with these 'debates'.
    Perhaps you interpret sarcastic posts as attacks on yourself, but I hardly think they really are.
