Defence Complete!

Agent StoopidMonkey has completed our Defence by signing on with Stoopid Monkey King.

Linebacking Corps complete!

Agent MFL85 has finalised our Linebackers, signing on with Hammerhead Slayer, who should be a menace to QBs from the OLB position.

Final Linebacker falls into place

Agent MFL has assisted in recruiting Hammerhead Slayer. He should be ab excellent recruit for our OLB

Almost Done!

I'm nearly done with my recruiting. Just waiting for a LB and FS prospect to round out the D, then I guess I should start looking for a kicker.

Embrace your Inner Linebacker

Excellent news folks, as we move pretty close to having the whole team recruited.

The lastest signing comes from agent Branvaans stable, with James Clark joining the Big Prawns!

Rounding out the ILBs is X Doc, who came our way via agent drsh98.

Announcements

OK, The Ballina Big Prawns have their first non-Chunky owned LB confirmed. Agent TDA has worked some magic on his client Glen Ordway, and he figures to make an impact at OLB.

Glen Ordway

I've also got my first GM on board. Seano is old friend of mine who I recently introduced to the game. Though he's still pretty green, he is learning at a rate of knots, and I think the smallish role of O-Line coach will assist his learning curve and create a valuable asset for our team.

Huzzah!

Exccllent news, the CB I had my eyes on, Manny Medina, has agreed to join the Big Prawn! Thanks to his agent esomedina for the quick and forthright negotiation!

Manny Medina

Our secondary is looking strong!

So Whats Left?

At this point, I have a number of spots still to fill.

The primary one is Linebacker - I still need 4 Linebackers. To be honest, I'm a little surprised that this has been my hardest position to fill, given the prominent role I expect LBs to have on my team. Could it be the versatile build I am after is scaring people off? Not sure, but I'll keep going.

Apart from the linebackers, I really only need a second Free Safety and a fourth Cornerback and I have nough to go into the season with.

Lots of Signings

OK, the as yet non-existent Ballina Big Prawns now have their offense almost set!

The new signings:

QB Frankie O'Doyle - his agent hardhatpete has told me he'll bring us the luck of the Irish!

Frankie O'Doyle

Agent OldBugman has completed negotiations to bring across WR Toby Fitzgerald, as long as his Visa clears he should be our #1 threat at WR!

Toby Fitzgerald

Rounding out the WR corps is Jo Merion, represented by agent faulcon.

Jo Merion

Though we now have 4 WRs I'd be happy to go into the season with, one more would not go astray! That is the sole remaining position on the Big Prawns available currently.

The O-Line is complete with the addition of OT Sven Shuttler from agent Spieroz.

Agent bubbas has filled our remaining gaps on the offense with TE PIPBoy 3000 and FB PIPBoy2000.

He's also completed our D-Line with the GIR brothers at DE.

Last but not least, we have a new SS joining us from agent Drokmar, welcome to Yasser Aracat!

Yasser Aracat

These players should all make fine Big Prawns!

Another Recruitment update

OK, time to make another update.

Offense is looking very nearly set now.

None of these signings are fully confirmed yet, but all are in the process and largely waiting on timing of agents to be online to give me confirmation.

I currently have two excellent candidates for the QB spot, though the first one will be more likely at this point.

I look to have another couple of WRs signing on, so that slot may also be full.

FB and TE may also be full.

Last but not least, DE may be full also now.

I will make the announcement posts when these players confirm, but am about to head to work where I likely won't have computer access for most of the day.

Recruitment Update

OK, I'm starting to get a fair few PMs now enquiring about the team, which is awesome, keep em coming.

Unfortunately, most of them are for HBs, which I already have my full allotment of - sorry folks.

I'm also full up on G's and C's, and only one slot left on the OTs.

Spots still available:

Offense
1 QB (will be the only QB if injuries aren't brought in next season)
1 FB (either backup or starter depending on player)
1 TE (either backup or starter depending on player)
2 WRs (either backup or starter depending on player)
1 OT (either backup or starter depending on player)

Defense
2 DEs (either backup or starter depending on player)
4 LBs (prefer to get level 12+ at the end of the season to be starters, but will consider lower levels with nice builds - probably level 10 at the lowest)
1 CB (either backup or starter depending on player)
1 SS (either backup or starter depending on player)
1 FS (either backup or starter depending on player)

Special Teams
1 K (Starter)

As you can see, I'm fairly flexible on the actual role for most of the positions, as my own players look to be good enough to start if needed, but with room for starters to step in front of them.

More signings

Ballina Big Prawns would like to thank agent Miyuso for helping us land his clients Cecil Worthington and Jaye Piccini to our offensive line.

Another Signing

OK, the Ballina Big Prawns have filled out their ranks at Guard now, having recruited Rusty Chain from agent Annachie to man the right side.

Rusty Chain

We have some recruits!

OK, now that we've largely detailed the way we want to play, its time to announce some good news.

We've confirmed our first non-Chunky owned recruits!

Agent Mortimess, who I know from St Johns Fog Devils, has agreed to join the Big Prawns with:

Defenestrator Dave - projects to be a starting CB for the Big Prawns

Defenestrator Dave

Headsplitter Harry - a likely backup at LG

Headsplitter Harry

Tycho Mephistophelia (who from here on in is Tycho Mephistoblah) - in the mix for starting HB

Tycho Mephistoblah

So thanks to Mortimess for signing on to the Big Prawns, hopefully we'll see more players joining in the near future.
