 Cheers Mikey ! Wardad sneaking along after a first round "bye" just managed to slip one around the magnificent Mutley [ Brycy] .Thought I was done for ! 

 Wardad
I am totally unhappy with my own selections and my total misunderstanding of the form of teams.
I am not to badly off this coming round with my selections - since I had minimal players of teams with the upcoming byes.  I can put them on the bench in most cases - but for the backrow.  Some of the players I selected depended on what is expected from teams based on their prior results and then they bugger up completely - like the Brumbies did this past week.
I think it is wise to shy away from Aussie teams - people write SA teams are the pits - but the Aussie Conference teams are really the pits.      

 I have only one non NZ player and thats Stephen Moore ,seems to work for me !If Coles werent injured I would have had him instead .

 I had at one stage 7 NZ player starting and four of them was poor point collectors.  I had three Australian Players and five SA Players - I am weeding out slowly the non-productive players from all their respective positions. Of those I would say that there is one NZ player and two of the Aussies.
i would never ever pick a New Zealand lock or prop - at best they are poor point gatherers.          

 i generally pick my backsfrom nz. And forwardsfrom sa. Tuipolutu is an exception though. Hes scorinf with agood average. This last we i got my ass handed to me. With only ten players in play. Due tonþe fact ten of my best scoring players were out with a bye. And no wc. I did the best i could with only four trades. I got 394 in theend. But boy ive gone down even mlre in the standings. Anyway tough league. Im averaging juzt over 540. Yet im 12th place. Good for our league, not for me lol. Heres how my team looks like just yo slate the ratio of nz picked backs and non forwards.
props: Malhebe, Toomaga Allen
hooker: coles
locks: tuipolutu, Estebeth
backrow: A Savea, Liam Squiare, Marcell Coetzee
sh: Peranara

 The following comments about teams -
*   There is no 12 in the Sunwolves teams as listed in the media;*   Please help finding the Jaguares team - please help*   The three outstanding SA franchise teams will be announced sometime today.

Ou Maaik, the Sunwolves #12 is Derek Carpenter. The Jaguares team was posted 10 minutes ago. It's in the post above yours.

 Thanks Rooinek - no 12 for Sunwolves and Jaguares Updated.

 So I gather the red dots are injured /not playing ,green OK and yellow not decided ?

I'm seeing n othing wrong with this thread even before Chewbacca edited his post.

 This thread was ruined and while I as reviewing and setting in a new thread on the issue - the idiot involved cancelled the ruined contribution.   The above  teams were reflected in the other revised thread - thanks though.
The only outstanding team is the bankrupt Kings.  

 Stadig Mike. I pasted the teams as plain text from Word and the thread displayed fine on my side. I gathered that it is not the same on your side because you started a revised thread therefor I removed my post because the other thread was already screwed up.
I got the teams from sarugbymag.co.za if you want to view them. At work so can't redo both teams.
I am trying to help out but if you want to this on your own just say the word.

Wardad, yellow must mean not injured but not playing as in the case of all the Brumbies players they have a bye and all are marked yellow.

 Chewbacca
It was not you who destroyed the margins on the thread.   What happened was a funny one.   Somebody posted his normal and all i could do was to open a new thread.  It actually was an insertion made by somebody on one of my messages about updating. When I came back to this thread there was nothing wrong and I suppose the idiot - who must know about computers - had the insertion removed.  By then I had opened the other thread.
The second thread is fully updated. 
Anyway your assistance is sincerely appreciated.   

 Mike, I'm sure all understand how this frustrates you, but Sonny Bill wasn't around and although poi-e gives you a hard time on other stuff, there's no proof that he is Sonny Bill. It seems this might have been a honest error or false alarm.

No worries Mike.
The trolls are like children. The more attention you give them the more they want. So ignore the guys screwing up the thread they will stop eventually and help the ones right who mess it up by mistake.
Thanks for your effort!
