Uprising did what top teams are supposed to do .. lose a big name player so get another big name player ... real Madrid lose ozil but gain bale ... a few seasons back now Chelsea directly made arsenal weaker by signing cashley cole ..... its the way it works.
And also the reason many people are disgusted by modern football. Ashley Cole has also been real popular for that move!

It works this way only if you want it to work this way.

I feel the word poach and any variation of the term is thrown about far too lightly. To sign a player fom another clan is not poaching. You can't just not ask players if they're staying and assume they are because there's no contractual agreement.

Signing Imran was agreed months ago, before this season had even started so it hardly classes as poaching. Where the player comes from has no bearing on the issue really. We've hardly left SS in the lurch by signing one player from a clan who could easily refill their roster in the off-season. Not like signing mid-season from clans who might struggle to.

But enough of that...

Welcome Imran, a great addition

Unlucky on the super league guys, but that's 2nd place again. We're the most consistent of the top 3 even though we haven't won anything FBL is the last piece of the puzzle and it's anyone's race. Big effort needed there!

And congratulations on our individual's effort in SL. cgibson92 won the bonus basher, and we had plenty of representation in the tables. 5 out of the top 10 overall played for us, only 1 from SS, 3 from Pros and 1 from eagles I think ( apologies in advance, this is a slight guess). Shows how it was by no means a fluke we got to where we are

Was actually agreed 4 seasons ago mate, he was supposed to join us along with Fran the season before last! It's not ideal taking a player from Snooker Squad, but Imran is a mate, and someone I wanted in Uprising from the very beginning. SS are one of the only teams that haven't tried repeatedly to sign all of our players, so I feel bad about that - but the feeling fades when I look at the SL final score! :P

Poaching is poaching I feel but I feel there should be a new rule that a player has to play for his clan for at least a season . I feel losing 2andy to uprising a few seasons ago effected some outcomes as he was a player who done well and at the time I didn't have no time to replace him .

Well i look at the super league top 10 stats for all the sections and I see myself in the top 10 for all the sections, and 4th overall! Pretty good season, also big well done to cgibson92 on 3rd overall and his high finishes. I see 8th,9th and 10th overall had some of ours too!

LOL - I got soooo much crap for being 'a poacher', talk about hypocritical, you go and do the same lol. However not only is yours better but class, weaken your direct opposition,

*** applause***

All my signings were from teams lower down the leagues....bravo.

Sorry, threads are quiet and I cant stand hypocrites.

By the sounds of it he can't complain if you take 7-0 Joe, you sound odds on to win it. Great result so far, 7 or 8 points is what we need
