Wallaby selection game/exercise

[Scarfman]

I've had an idea. Let's get into 3-man teams to select a best XV available for a game against quality opposition. So: injured people are out. But we're not picking a development side to play Fiji, we're picking our strongest possible team.

So, we get into random 3-man teams and have to come to an agreement and then post that team. We might as well pick a 22 while we're going. You can communicate with each other in this thread or by Personal Message if you want to keep it secret.

C'mon! There's a million different possible combinations that have been suggested on this forum, but I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if 3 people had to agree on a team.

You're all fucked. :bird

 

[cyclopath]

But what happens when the 4 teams are picked? Do we all just argue about who should be in the Wallaby team as we usually do on this forum? Where do we go with it?
Thanks in advance,
cyclopath (one of the fucked) :bootyshake

 

[matty_k]

You've waited an entire two hours for a reply. The threads have been a little quite this weekend.

I'm up for it.

It will be interesting to see how similar the teams will be.

 

[waratahjesus]

alright,
but you should win stuff for playing and we should all get free t-shirts with our team name on them before we start.

 

[Scarfman]

No free shirt, but how about I make you captain of Team Gold. You have my permission to say: "Gold Leader, standing by."

(Note to others: he's not really captain, I'm just humouring him).

Cyclo - the idea is to see what happens when you have to come to an agreement between 3 people, rather than the solo approach of the forum. It's a speculative project in that I don't know what the results will be. We might end up all settling on the same team, for example.

 

[cyclopath]

Scarfy, just to get this sorted early on, you can't nominate SNK in our team. Otherwise there will be intifadah from within!! i am happy to try to agree with you and matty on other selections! ;D

 

[fatprop]

Yeah I will play

 

[Scarfman]

Excellent fp.

Places are filling fast. Join now.

 

[RugbyReg]

yeah I'm in!

 

[matty_k]

The teams are all pretty 'Tah-centric at the moment.
Are the posters who follow the other teams not reading the forums any more?

 

[TheRiddler]

Ah, go on then. Can I invite NTA back into the fold and we can have Team FHC with one other volunteer.

 

[eddo]

I'm in..

That is because most other supporters have this weekend off

 

[waratahjesus]

if we could get teams of four with a fan of each aussie team in each group it would probably be good, if.

 

[matty_k]

Or if you had teams that were based on the four franchises it would be interesting to see what they turn out.

 

[GC]

I'll do it.

 

[DPK]

I'm in, but there should be a prize.

I'm asuming this is saying that you are in.

 

[RugbyReg]
