GL to both teams, you've both had impressive seasons

First things first: thanks!

Yes, thanks also.

I think the player he added changes that significantly as I don't think he's likely to be hit and miss now.

Looking at the two rosters my highest paid player would only be the 6th highest paid on the Fibres. (Getting my excuse in early there.) My backups are probably slightly better but that's not of significant value here. I'd make Fibres a big favourite if I was neutral, I don't think home court tips the scale enough to overcome the massive salary difference. It wouldn't have been as big if I'd been able to sign someone myself, but all season I kept missing players for various reasons. Mostly long term value.

I do agree your backups are better. You've got HCA and better enthusiasm, so I think it's an uphill task for me. I was hoping to try and save some enthusiasm during the playoffs, but never felt like I could.

Good luck mate, it's definitely going to be close.

I needed every single one of them too, really tense at the end.

Gully’s C fouling out and Meadows going off injured swung the pendulum my way, fortunately for me.

Yeah, It’s not over yet but Gully needs to come up with something if he’s going to level the series 🙂

Starting PF and C fouling out, which of course was because of their inability to handle one player. I didn't see the whole game but was checking now and then, so I didn't see what happened to Meadows, who has been a huge difference for me this season over last, though I'm confused as to why, he doesn't really look that good. Finishing the game with three backups in wasn't ideal but it was largely self inflicted.

Obviously the end was disappointing. Getting back in front with, what was it, 30 seconds to go(?), was a surprise but I was never confident we'd stop you.

Glad I waited till today to post. All I could have managed last night was "bollocks."

Not sure what I can come up with. No one can be confident in a Final with a starter missing. Has anyone ever won a Final after losing the first game at home? I doubt it, it seems almost impossible to imagine. We'll show up though.

I actually didn’t really Easton fouled out, but that would have made a big difference. I know he’s valued defensively.

There’s a long way to go as yet, I’m not getting ahead of myself. I’ve got a tough game to win as yet.

Maybe not. Well played, we just weren't a match.

Things went my way in the first game that impacted that. You’ll be back next season and be considered one of the favourites once again.

Things that are part of the game. I tend to look for aggression so I can't complain about fouls, especailly playing 3-2. Also my love of a weekly profit means I don't spend as much as I should on doctors if I want to win a title, so the same applies to injuries.

You’ll be back next season and be considered one of the favourites once again.

I liked it better that I was largely dismissed before this season, it meant I could take advantage of a good start, and basically steal home advantage while no one was looking. We were never as good as we looked. One starter has already declined, another will start next season. Of course I'll be looking at the transfer list, as I was towards the end of the season but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find someone I'm completely happy with.

Anyway, you have a really strong side, and I hope you can keep it together and show up well in the B3.
