...the Swan RIver Serpents would like to officially introduce Viktor Wembanyama's younger (step) brother, PJ Hunter (54415122).

Although he needs a lot of training on his inside skills, he comes complete with a great Jump Shot and range (like his brother), together with solid rebounding and inside defense (like his brother). Just don't ask him to block a shot...yet!

We hope that Hunter will become the new foundation from which the Swan River Serpents, together with 2nd year player, Livingstone (54107600) and MVP rookie, Muir (54415125) can build upon.

Start of HGL is closing, as first ever round of matches will take place on next Monday, April 7th, 2025!

There are still couple of things to finalize/do before that, so if you are a manager that participates for Season 1 of HGL, please check out this post: (326590.75)!

As some might have already noticed, I have finalized a rule/penalties set for Season 1 of HGL, which consists of 4 posts; this one (326589.7) and 3 following posts (all titled "Additional rules and penalties for violations").

Please don't be intimidated by the word count, it is mainly due to conversatory nature of my writing style and actually introduces only few penalty levels. Also, as you can see, post 3/4 will not apply hardly any (or any) of us during Season 1, but it might be very useful information especially for new managers with small rosters considering joining HGL in the future.

Home-Grown Success!

My PG, L.Donoguue (54231906) was selected to join the Ireland U21 NT today! I am slowly turning my Utopian team, Westopian Tigers, into a HG team too.

It was nice to see my young trainee make the U21 NT as a 20 yr old! :-)




...the lord giveth, and the lord take the away...

The coach of the Irish U21 NT sent me a bbmail saying sorry but had to remove your PG from the U21 NT as he found a better guard.

Donoghue didn't even get to play 1 game. The flip-side, I guess is that he is only 20 and would be a certainty for the team next season.

Disappointing. Was looking forward to a small merch bump.

Disappointing. Was looking forward to a small merch bump.

Those are always disappointing moments... I've had similar experience but other way around, with player at 20 getting to play practically (or almost, I can't recall without checking out the records) whole season in NT, and not playing a single game on the season when he was 21 (and yes, he was on my training program continuously, so dropout wasn't due to that but for other reasons).
And it's not only the merch bump (which in itself actually is quite considerable amount for the full season of play), but especially the joy of having an own player playing for NT.
Like you said, fortunately he still has one more year to go after this!

Respect! I started today with my new team to be the first (that I know off) Dutch fully homegrown team. I hope I can stay patient enough 😉

Congratulations!
Your team seems to be one of those, whose transfer history is totally clean of purchases, which will cause a so called hat off-effect in my case. I hope you would also consider joining newly established Home-Grown League (HGL) one day, for two reasons (at least)... First of all, you would have a very strong team for HGL, and you would be a medal contender (this season) based on your top 8 salaries alone. Second, I wouldn't mind a small Swedish vs. Finnish competition, as we already have two teams from Finland playing in HGL... :)

Well, at least you've made it yourself hard to change playing strategy (being homegrown) with your team name selection, so brilliant choice ;)

It's always great to get managers from completely new countries to join our HGL community!
Actually I was once again taking a look at LOPO_'s list of homegrown teams couple of weeks ago, and then I cast a wish that I hope we'll get managers from completely new countries to join... and here we have you, representing one more HG country. :)

Speaking of joining, like you may have noticed, I already mentioned in my previous message to Hårdboll about Home-Grown League (HGL) that has been established just a while ago. If you have been following this thread for a long time, some aspects of it might be familiar to you already. The Official Thread of HGL, should you be interested in finding more information about it, can be found here: (326589.1). (We also have a separate official HGL Scores Thread, but most essential things have been positioned there on that main thread).
So if you have time, I would also like to ask you to take a look at it, so that you'd see if it would be something you'd be interested in joining in coming seasons! :)

Thanks! I looked at it and I'm interested in joining after a few seasons. Keep up the good work!
