For the newcomers.... The Rothmans Medal will be awarded to the manager whose starting 11 acquires the most Bonus points throughout the entire season. It is only based on your starting 11 each week and there are no double ups for captains. It will span across all 3 Leagues / 24 Teams. A bit of history for you non-aussies...... the Rothman's medal was awarded back when all sports were cool in the 70's and 80's to the best and fairest player in the National Rugby League Competition. It was voted on by referress on a 3,2,1 points system for each game and player who polled the most points for the season got the medal. It was abondoned in 1997 when tobacco companies stopped being allowed to sponsor sporting events etc. For those who get bored easy, or amused even easier, there will be a weekly (or as close to weekly as I can get) update posted here. Level of amusement/ clarity/ spelling/ grammar / general sensemaking varies greatly depending on what time of the night this is written, and how many red wines have been consumed before and during the post writing... There will be a fancy spreadsheet soon and I will post link here.
Here is the link you can follow all ..... season ? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F0Hwh8Pfzu-7Bn3oE2jh2ggAejmnzLEEMy6znykxQBQ/edit#gid=0

yes .. perfect , whilst I'm here we're guaranteed you doing this comp as you like nothing better than to gloat over my failings .... So I'll continue on taking one for the teams
When considering this week's scores, be advised that you'll need to not count the 1 bonus point for James for Locomotiv Lewisham due to James being on the team due to an uncorrected illegal transfer.
When considering this weeks scores be advised ... that you haven't considered any scores since the Champions League qualifiers started back in June!
Hoi you lot..... get off my post ! haha I have no idea who won... the Covid virus ate my homework .. and plus I don't care cause I am pretty sure it was not me . The Medal will be back this year... life is a bit less chaotic so should be able to fit in a rambling post once a week
Think that's the Dr's way of saying "Muppet won" as he would be very reluctant to admit it ....... backed up by there being no facts available to deny my claim !!
This is the most time consuming competition. At least in the Boot the number of teams to check scores on dwindles not here. Plus, I have some idea who scored and assisted. Just a few scoring errors quick to be uncovered. This one takes true Endeavor. Good luck!
I am the Captain of Endeavour ! .. or maybe Captain Cook was ? who knows. We will start out strong and fade away I am sure... but we will give it a crack !
