Best player in the league by miles and I'm joint last. How do I submit a transfer request?

edit: I'll miss the spectators if I leave. Particularly the ones who are on my team.

There is no "I" in "TEAM" and it's a team competition. I liken you to Lionel Messi if he played for Crewe Alexandra.

You might consider telling your shrinking violet team-mates that you know where they live ...

He has a fair trek if he want to come and sort me out!

Maybe he can just get Roger twice and that will do?

Round 3

Matt Orford gazed down morosely at the shrivelled Parsnip in his hand. Despite a near fevered bout of scopperloit endeavour, he had come to realise that coaxing life from his lying, contract ignoring wang was the preserve of a nihilarian. It died the day he’d walked out on the Bradford Bulls and no fervent manipulation had been able to resuscitate his stricken Knight. He would have to face the facts; Sir Percy was dead. He lifted his eyes to the mirrored ceiling, cheeks burning with shame. From that angle you could have been forgiven for being unaware that he was a vile portly dwarf with zero scruples, but in his heart he knew that no quirk of reflection could truly disguise his myriad flaws.

He sighed deeply and begin to pace his room in his underpants, around the foot of the bed, past the chest-of-drawers, beyond the blackened area he called ‘Carvell corner’ where he burned his contracts, and back to the bed. He picked up a Rugby League magazine and idly flicked through the pages until his interest was piqued by a two page article about Airships and blimps. He smiled quizzically at the strange notion of a blimp with a face and sat down on the bed in confusion. On closer inspection, the article was in fact a two pager on Nigel Wood. A mistake which Orford, normally one to self-flagellate, forgave himself for.

The general consensus was that any man who’s marketing genius extended to re-naming a Rugby League team “Blue sox” was widdiful and ill-equipped to look after a cat let alone the RFL, but to Orford there was something about that enigmatic smile that pleased him; An allure he could not deny about Nigel’s startling resemblance to a pork pie with limbs. Without realising that his hands had once again strayed, Orford had begun to windmill in a widdershins fashion and to his surprise Sir Percy had risen from the dead. Could it be that walking out of contracts was not in fact his first love? Could it also be that his floccinaucinihilipilification of his sickly protuberance was premature? As his arms pumped viciously like the pistons of an onanistic steam train, he bellowed with great lamprophony “I love you Nigel Wood”.

Wow

My predictions for round 2. Got them in just before the deadline luckily.

Re: The RAB Factor 2015 : Sun Dec 27, 2015 4:27 pm  

The scores are in for the girlieball round.

Congratulations to debaser for an all-correct round, brilliant stuff. I have unfortunately had to disqualify the entry, since although debaser sent his entry in in time on his planet, sadly due to (I presume) time dilation and wormholes, it didn't land on the RLFannies server until Sunday. Harsh I know, but sometimes I have to be.

Scores achieved, and RAB Factor points awarded:

Fr13daY 47___________6 points
Highlander 44___________ 5 pts
thepimp007 36___________ 4 pts
Pumpetypump 32___________ 3 pts
mystic eddie 29___________ 2 pts
broadybull87 18___________ 1 pt

Bonus points for Team Spectre for number of entrants, leaving the standings at the end of round 2 as follows:

1st Team Spectre - 31
2nd Team Star Wars - 14
3rd Team Mars - 8



Don't forget the deadline is looming for entrants for Round 3, which is developing into a sizzling battle. Literary genius. Who knew?

Re: The RAB Factor 2015 : Sun Dec 27, 2015 7:01 pm  

What!!!! It's an outrage. I can't be held responsible for technical failure. I forgot what a complete fix this game is. That's two years in a row that I have been shafted.

BTW, where is tigertot? Skiving tw*t.

Re: The RAB Factor 2015 : Sun Dec 27, 2015 8:52 pm  

I spent ages typing in my entry for the next round, then went to check the meaning of floccinaucinihilipilification and by the time I got back on, the writing was gone. That is a genuine excuse. I can't be bothered typing it in again.
Needless to say, it was amazing.

And seeing as I was robbed on the last round I should have some points on this one.

Especially seeing as tigertot, my so called team mate is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

And by the way, Ferocious aardvark is a very lovely man.

I'm back, been in the Lakes for a week without access to a PC but access to plenty of water. Currently trying to track down my 87 year old Mum lost somewhere between Romania & Luton.
