Amen to that
Hey Rob, I know this has been dealt with before (I have no clue in which thread though), but is there a place where I can see exactly how much points is needed to advance to the next rank? Im currently on 4105 I think. Sorry to bother you with something so trivial lol
😳
@Stiko85 (Comment 2) : every 5000 points sharksworld gives you n sterretjie 😀 😀
@Stiko85 (Comment 2) : not trivial at all! The answer is that it’s a sliding scale.
Academy recruit 0
Under 19 player 250
Under 21 player 1000
Vodacom Cup player 5000
Currie Cup player 10000
Super Rugby player 25000
Team captain 50000
Assistant coach 100000
Coach 250000
Head Coach 500000
@robdylan (Comment 4) : nooooo!!!
I though I was gonna be a SR player in another 3000 points 😥 😥
@West Indies Cricket Board (Comment 5) : you get 5k points for even a £5 donation… (#justsaying)
I’m an Assistant Coach so you rookies better listen to me 😛 😉
@Stiko85 (Comment 2) : Here: http://www.sharksworld.co.za/2010/02/11/so-whats-with-the-stars/
Saders 3 – 0 Force
11m
@robdylan (Comment 6) : Lol Shorksworld has become pay to win ;).
@Seth101 (Comment 10) : Why yes, yes it has! Just noticed my silver star 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 6) : noted…
How do I find my points/comment count?
Nvm found it, 24300 😀 bring on superrugby!
Saders dominating all areas just cannot put the points on the board. Camping in the Force 22 for ages and eventually decide to go for poles. Points for Saders, Mental victory to Force.
Saders 6 – 0 Force
23m
@Seth101 (Comment 10) : yes well…. 6 years later and I can’t keep covering all the costs out of my own pocket 🙂
Try for the Saders! McNicholl scores after good break by Dagg.
Conversion is good
Saders 13 – 0 Force
26m
@robdylan (Comment 16) : Shit Rob, thanks for this site man.
@robdylan (Comment 16) : Completely understandable man :).
@robdylan (Comment 16) : I just tossed a couple of pennies in the wishing well. I think it will show as JJ vdM. Points please. TANKYOOO!! 😈 😈
@West Indies Cricket Board (Comment 21) : you’re a lot closer now, plus you have your own VIP badge 🙂
Thank you kindly.
@West Indies Cricket Board (Comment 19) : I do it for you guys 🙂
shit man – Saders want their BP before half time 🙂
McNicholl scores in the corner again but TMO is checking for obstruction.
Yes!! Well done TMO!
No try, and penalty given to the Force. Saders player caught tackling a defensive player.
Saders 16 – 0 Force – HT
@gregkaos (Comment 26) : How unusual
@robdylan (Comment 6) : High time I chip in again… for the pretty stars of course, it’s not that I like your site or anything 😈
@vanmartin (Comment 29) : it looks good on you!
Honey Badger held up over the try line. First time Force looked like scoring.
Try for the Force! Haylett-Petty under the poles!
@robdylan (Comment 6) : @robdylan (Comment 4) :wow okay. guess its time to crack open the chequebook and buy me the rank of assistant coach then lol. By the way, in the About Sharksworld section you should update it so it says VanMartin is a regular contributor of stories as well, jinne the bra writes great pieces to not be included is a crime lol.
Conversion EZ PZ
Saders 16 – 7 Force
49m
Force have come out firing this half.
@Stiko85 (Comment 33) : Let’s save that for when I contribute on a more regular basis (I’ve only written a handful of pieces) but I really do appreciate the sentiment Stiko!
@Stiko85 (Comment 33) : thanks – let me do that
Dagg looking very uncomfortable at the moment. Something with his shoulder.
at least Saders won’t get a BP here… that’s probably as good a result as we can hope for.
Force cop a yellow. Sam is off
Penalty try to the Saders. Collapsed maul.
Saders 23 – 7 Force
72m
Awesome try saving tackle by Honey Badger to deny the Saders their bonus point…. for now.
Very sad end to Cottrell’s game and most likely year. Very bad looking leg injury.
3 min left. Force defending their 5m line
Penalty to saders. They take scrum infront of poles.
Knock on! Force get a scrum with a minute on the board, and have to try and cope with a very makeshift pack.
Force scrum disintegrated. Saders penalty and choose scrum.
Another penalty and another scrum to saders.
This ref gave the saders the game.
Penalty bonus point try…
Saders 30 – 7 Force FT
Sorry. I got this wrong. No bonus point. Not sure why I thought they had 4.
@ grekos – no bonus point try for Saders at least, they only scored 3 (2 penalty tries, 1 McNicholl)
LMS save again 😛
you are forgiven just got a big fright – had to double check now
@gregkaos (Comment 51) : cos of the first-half one to McNicholl that wasn’t given?
@Henkb (Comment 52) : Cheers yeah I only realised at the end. At least my faulty brain made the game a bit more exciting for me in the last 5 minutes as I was cheering on the Force defence. 😎
.
Don’t worry I was also sitting here thinking they got the bonus point lol. Less upset now.
@robdylan (Comment 55) : Most likely! Or due to it been a Friday morning 🙂
Well, I suppose the Force was ever going to win…in that case I’ll take the fact that the Crusaders didn’t score a bonus point!
@pastorshark (Comment 60) : yes now it would be nice if the Chiefs beat the Tahs.
