Well Fellas after a long weekend of non-stop playing - i have conquered and owned EA2006...but all is not lost

I was the REDS..........WAS................

got promoted to Elite league and had 4 games, beating the Brumbies n TAHS

My REDS were devastating

With  killers like

CAUCAU

Jack

Charvis

Danielli

Jones

Dawson

and many other stars

I then get an offer.........the offer i was dreaming for..............Coach the TAHS

I jump on without hesitation..........their team is not as good as my ole REDS, and my matches were close again but not too difficult...Sailor and Tiquiri do help...they had a big trading history so they lost many players, and gained some....but not very good players....bank balance was in trouble, but some good wins go me back, and only just, was only able to afford G smith* and no-one else

I take them to the TOP........Win Elite division......the REDS pummeled, and just avoided relegation without my services.

I get some bonus $$$, and buy Robsinson, for next year, finally re-building into the powerhouse they deserve to be..........i see HABANA and CARTER lurking in the market, and will get them when available.

I unlocked playing as home team v Lions for winning Elite League

The game is not as hard as Rugby2005, if you dont want it to be

If you take risks in defense with x tackle or even high shots, you will get punished.

If you play boring, and kick all the time, play terriritory and not possesion u will win.

but playing the Lions with australia, is by far the harest thing ever......it took me 5 tours to finally win one..........Wilkos kicking is BS.........the whole backline is star stutted.

Not far to go till clicked, a few more NH tournies and the 10 nations.

I find the ultimate challenges are in the Internationals............with more star players per AI team does more damage to the user....... :cheers:

I have never had so much fun, regardless of the ease some of it has turned out to be, coz some of the tries and so variant and bloody jaw dropping.
