      OK. This is how it will work (until I shift the goalposts)

      If you want to see your province in this comp you will need to start a thread and propose a team.
      Whoever starts the thread gets to decide a final team to put up based on the feedback they receive.
      We will run this part until we are looking like a good input (maybe a week?) then I will do a draw and set up polls for everyone to decide the winner of each game. Format of comp to be confirmed.

      Anyone that has played for your province is eligible. If you want the derision of including a one season player who mainly played elsewhere try it.
      If a player is 'selected' in more than one team they will be judged on representative caps.

      Bring it on.

        @Crucial Is it an NPC team or a province team? The heading says NPC but Walsh wouldn't have played in the NPC era I suspect.

        Good of you both two include to Hawkes Bay poaches. πŸ˜‰

          Bring it on and maybe we can run a poll 'league' virtual competition.

          Well if you're volunteering to run it..

          Do you want me to add a sub forum? The you can work out the rules etc?

            Provincial.
            Good point.
            Given that I started this I get to set the rules.

                  I will start a thread for each Union.

                  Edit: No I won't. See above. If you want your province in the compit is up to you to start a thread

                    Should involve the Heartland teams - be an interesting exercise if nothing else to see what big names have played for the Heartland unions.

                      @Crucial You forgot the Poo ... which is fair enough, but they could actually put together a bloody good team combining there late 70s and 80s teams with some of the more modern stars (Smith, Cruden, Cullen).

                          So I did! Good for you to think of your fellow Vikings.

                              I ended up putting headings in place anyway to help the lazy.
                              If you want to add another team feel free just use the title format that Duluth suggested to help keep things clean

                                I assume a player is judged on his form while playing for your province e.g. Jonah doesn't demonstrate his CM form if chosen by Harbour for him he was essentially a high profile water boy.

                                  A player can only play in one team. Province caps decides where if double selected

                                      Because otherwise you would try and claim Bruce Robertson despite him playing 80 times for CM and none for HB

                                        Nah, you managed to poach him before he played for us (we should have bloody capped him at high school) so he wouldn't make the HB team for this anyway.

                                              These rules are like North V South, Crucial will get a new car and Tasman will be the best team.

                                                To make it more interesting why not make it that the players original province has first choice? So if Manawatu wants to select Cullen, tough luck Wellington.

                                                  I guess it would also help with the talent stacking in Super Franchise location teams where players were 'enticed' to play at.

                                                  Seeing as how most have taken the title literally, despite the idea that you can include older players (but need to justify how they would go), and because of whinging about poaching I'm making these changes/clarifications.

                                                  **NPC era players only.

                                                  Deciding factor is first province.**

                                                  You can still try and claim a player that played with you as second union. It is only if first union also claims them that you will lose out.

                                                      I didn't think of that (Tui Billboard πŸ˜‰ )

                                                      I thought Waikato would claim Jacko as hometown ref.

                                                        If a player is 'selected' in more than one team they will be judged on representative caps.

                                                        To make it more interesting why not make it that the players original province has first choice? So if Manawatu wants to select Cullen, tough luck Wellington.

                                                        Wouldn't it be tough luck on the Poo if Horowhenua Kapiti claim him?

                                                                I suppose turkeys are next, she just hasn't thought of it yet. Christmas and the end of 2020 aren't that far away I suppose. Sigh.
