(Season 32 Numbers HERE)​

​

IN: Elton Johns Wig (Furies), pantskyle (Demons), A Swallow (Dragons), Mesc (rookie), PhatBoy (rookie), adogsfan5 (rookie), Ambrose Burnside (rookie).​

OUT: DenieD (Gumbies), kdavva (Furies), zackah (Roys), harry000 (delisted), RelaxMax (retired), ChappyUK (retired), BeinPurplenGreen (delisted).​

ROOKIES
Four rookies joined the Warriors for Season 32, with the best of them being Mesc (9.4 ppw). Ambrose Burnside (1.0 ppw) popped in to nine match threads across the season, but PhatBoy (0.6 ppw) and adogsfan5 (0.0 ppw) were barely sighted.

GAINS
It was a big off-season for the Warriors, as they were able secure the services of A Swallow (25.5 ppw) from the Dragons, pantskyle (15.1 ppw) after a brief secondment at the Demons, and Elton Johns Wig (19.1 ppw) as part of his transition to the Old Boys. All were in the top six most prolific match thread posters at the club - but all seemed to lose interest during the reverse fixtures.

LOSSES
The exit of DenieD (71.1 ppw in S32) hurt as he parachuted his way into the Gumbies captaincy, whilst kdavva's (45.7 ppw in S32) departure to the Furies would have been unexpected. Long time Warrior zackah (3.6 ppw in S32) decided to begin his Sweet retirement at the Roys.

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 5,988 5,044, 11th (16%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 331 242, 12th (27%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 15.25 15.71, 9th (3%)​
• Total match thread participants: 23 22, 8th ()​
• Match thread share: 44.17% 43.33%, 11th ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 74.67% 64.25%, 9th ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 5 6, 11th ()​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 10 8, 12th ()​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 4 1, 11th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 13 9, 10th ()​

THE CORE
A lot of the heavy lifting at the Warriors was done by skipper Tonga Bob (from 77.2 to 81.3 ppw) this season, and he produced 27.4% of all Warrior match thread posts - considerable higher than any other player in the league. Good support came from TheInjuryFactory (from 35.1 to 37.6 ppw) and Dinsdale (from 13.9 to 14.0 ppw), whilst Piggy Smalls (from 2.4 to 9.0 ppw) and Freofalcon (from 3.0 to 8.8 ppw) perked up - but things dropped off very quickly after that. NaturalDisaster (from 58.9 to 27.2 ppw) slowed down considerably in the back half of the season, whilst Volbeat (from 16.8 to 8.4 ppw), FootyGuy13 (from 13.6 to 12.4 ppw), BEEG (from 11.9 to 5.8 ppw), The Half Back (from 10.4 to 0.0 ppw), toxic (from 5.6 to 2.7 ppw) and Moo (from 3.6 to 0.4 ppw) all dropped away compared to Season 32.

The big problem for the Warriors was that given their low output last season combined with the loss of DenieD and kdavva they could not afford for their remaining players to slow down. But with the exception of Tonga Bob and TheInjuryFactory that's exactly what happened. Only one Warrior averaged more than 40 posts a week this season, whilst 50% of all Warrior posts this season were either from Bob, TIF or the increasingly ambivalent NaturalDisaster; with such a low total number of posts meant that all the remaining Warrior players combined posted less this season than what BLUEALLTHRU did for the Bombers. On top of that they had comfortably the lowest sum of median weekly posts in the league, and failed to reach 200 match thread posts in any of the last six rounds of the season - this is entering Gumbies/Dragons S27-S28 areas despite being in finals contention all season.

A big plus was despite these low numbers Tonga Bob was able to keep squad engagement relatively healthy at 15.71 match thread posters per week, but they just don't have enough players willing to post 10+ times a week on their list. This combined with no clear heir apparent, no successful rookie remaining on their list since their S29 crop, and with anywhere between one to five of their top dozen players heading elsewhere next season means that the Warriors are clearly the weakest squad in the league. Tonga Bob has proven that he is adept at recruiting big name players in the past: he certainly needs to keep that up this off-season.

"FootyGuy13 (from 13.6 to 12.4 ppw) dropped away compared to Season 32."

Not that evidence was really needed, but this is ample proof of who the most nepotistic player in the league is.

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)
​

IN: omgfridge (Gumbies), SarahSmiles (Swamprats), Ligma (rookie), weltschmerz (rookie), Memphis (rookie).

OUT: ShaunDuggan (Swamprats), MC Bad Genius (Phoenix), Noobz0r (delisted), Danger In Texas (delisted), Dancing Potato (delisted).

ROOKIES
There were three new rookies at Gold City this season, with the highly rated Ligma (24.9 posts per week) the stand out as she made a name for herself across the league. Joining her was weltschmerz (7.5 ppw) and Memphis (3.6 ppw), who were slower burns, but will as fresh blood will be critical to the Royal's future.

GAINS
Whilst the acquisition of omgfridge (51.5 ppw) was massive for the Royals, surely there must be some disappointment at what they got out of the highly regarded SarahSmiles (5.3 ppw). With rumours of both leaving next season questions must be asked about the club culture.

LOSSES
The only loss of significance over the off-season was that of MC Bad Genius (55.4 ppw in S32).

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 8,988 6,582, 9th (27%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 479 295, 10th (38%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 13.82 17.94, 3rd (30%)​
• Total match thread participants: 25 22, 8th ()​
• Match thread share: 53.93% 47.17%, 10th ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 63.30% 51.40%,1st ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 8 9, 3rd ()​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 11 11, 7th (-)​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 6 2, 10th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 15 9, 10th ()​

THE CORE
Whilst (now former) skipper PMBangers must have been happy with the level of engagement he got from his squad with such a high number of participants per week, there was a clear reduction in activity from their big name players. krakouers (86.8 to 36.9 ppw), PMBangers (83.8 to 26.7 ppw), The Filth Wizard (66.4 to 38.3 ppw), Marlowe (63.3 to 18.1 ppw), GreyCrow (49.4 to 29.5 ppw), CakeEater (36.9 to 25.4 ppw), spookism (30.3 to 15.8 ppw) and Smartys Power (20.8 to 3.4 ppw) all were much quieter this season, as the Royals continued their trend of only being up and about when their team is high up the Sweet ladder. nahnah (21.3 to 42.8 ppw) and Ulahoopski (2.4 to 29.3 ppw) were the only Royals to revel in their on-field mediocrity.

Overall it's not panic stations given the number of Royals showing up each week, but whatever leadership group forms in the absence of PMBangers will have their work cut out reinvigorating this squad and livening up their match threads.​

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)​

​

IN: damicky (Demons), SM (Phoenix), NinjaSwan (Phoenix), AnUltimateRessie (rookie), Cubs2Lions (rookie), un_eggs (rookie), Grand Uncle Horace (returning).​

OUT: haydo (Demons), Elmer_Judd (Roys), BlueMaster1 (delisted), mike123 (delisted), Sab22 (delisted), bomberlegend2007 (delisted), Kangaroos4eva (retired).​

ROOKIES
The Wonders swooped on three rookies for this season, with AnUltimateRessie (10.1 ppw) the pick of the bunch. Cubs2Lions (3.9 ppw) and un_eggs (1.1 ppw) were present without being prolific.

GAINS
Moz's rebuild of the Wonders continued this off-season with high profile signings NinjaSwan (46.1 ppw), damicky (105 ppw), SM (20.1 ppw) and a (finally) returning Grand Uncle Horace (30.9 ppw) making up a significant portion of the Wonders match day experience in Season 33.

LOSSES
The Wonders have been known in recent seasons to chop away dead wood mid-season in the hunt for more active players, and this time was no exception. Of those culled, only mike123 (16.3 ppw) had done anything of note last season. Beyond that they also faced the losses of Elmer_Judd (11.4 ppw in S32) and haydo (15.9 ppw in S32) to the Roys and Demons respectively.

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 8,412 9,338, 5th (11%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 447 452, 3rd (1%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 18.75 18.59, 2nd (1%)​
• Total match thread participants: 25 25, 1st (-)​
• Match thread share: 51.05% 51.28%, 4th ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 71.23% 64.79%, 10th ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 5 7, 5th ()​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 14 13, 5th ()​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 4 5, 5th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 16 16, 2nd (-)​

THE CORE
With damicky joining the club to balance out the domineering Brenton Davy (from 149 to 96.5 ppw) the Wonders were a little less top-heavy in Season 33. There was a drop-off from some of the key names such as Moz (from 87.3 to 64.4 ppw), ClarkeM (from 59.9 to 32.9 ppw), croweater 41 (from 45.0 to 10.6 ppw), Soggy2112 (from 37.6 to 12.4 ppw), Loonerty (from 22.8 to 5.5 ppw) and LukeParkerno1 (from 12.0 to 5.8 ppw) - but it was countered by the new players and the likes of dogs105 (from 12.2 to 43.8 ppw), Frothies Mcveigh (from 5.7 to 17.2 ppw) and JT_the_Man (from 4.6 to 6.4 ppw) having somewhat of a revival.

The Wonders have some of the best squad depth in the league due to their aggressive recruiting and unforgiving culling of inactives. With Moz seemingly positioning for a leadership handover it will be interesting to see if the man in the shadows (you all know who he is) continues to pull the strings.

What a joke of a club
