Some of the Academy players names are awesome.

Obviously made up.

Won my first game after 4 beating Wakey 10-6

It's all to do with training and recovery, make sure you sign coaches with a variety of specialisations.

And get a sports massage and apply to all players after a game.

Finally sorted my overseas quota down to 5 after having 9 - after buying Dobson it was upto 9!

Before I start my first game am I correct in assuming that on the tactics screen the red area is my own 20 metre zone?

It says to win, you have to stay employed for seven seasons, if that means it automatically stops after seven seasons I will be disappointed, as it's becoming addictive.

I started with Cas and after my initial good start of selling Korki for just over a million and grabbing Billy Slater on a freebie i went 15 games unbeaten.....oh sorry, i meant without a win. I was clearly doing something wrong but couldn't find out what. Then i learnt how to keep my squad fit and that surprisingly made a difference. I then won five out of the next eight games, including away at Leeds and Saints but that wasn't enough to keep my job. Presumably i got the boot for the poor season and not because i'd actually started winning games, but you never know with the Cas board of directors. I'm going to start again and win everything with Cas now i know what to do.

To keep players fit, you need to make sure you have like a 4 or 5 star fitness coach, then after a game you need to assign a sports massage to the players in your main squad.

To assign a player to a specialist attribute such as kicking or goal kicking, you need to click and drag the A from the APS next to the coach and drop it onto the player you wish to learn this attribute.

If you place it on the wrong player, I think that you right click on the player and it will be removed.

Trying to install it, and after its done downloading I get the message:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item"

I don't know a great deal about computers. Is this something to do with my settings?!

Are you the administrator of the computer?

Want to train all 57 player attributes?

Hire the following team of coaches:

Fitness
General Kicking
General Skills
General Forwards
General Physical
General Backs
Sports Psychology
Technical Defensive
Technical Offensive

This will still leave you room for a Developing Potential coach.

Enjoy
