Friendly League interview: Nij Insky (AKA Dave)

Its not everyone that have on his history 10 major cups won in the past. Dave is one of them, and did it on tabby, his first server where he was playing since 2005.
Dave manages the team Hoarse Whisperers (nijinsky), and will battle in this league on group A. Dave is natural from Stockport.

What servers have you played before you joined Smokey?
I played with a group of friends on Tabby and was fairly successful. Won a few majors including a full sweep a few seasons ago

Have you played in any league like this in the past? Wich results did you get?
We had friendly leagues on Tabby. I don't remember winning any though :)

What are your expectations for this first season of the Friendly League and for the next few seasons coming?
Try for Top Ten and then promotion from Div 3 or 4

Do you think this could be the most competitive league ever?
Once the TM settles and squads start improving then yes it will be a dog fight

Who do you fear most in your group?
All of them but my own team continuing to go out on the razz and breaking their backs are my biggest concerns at the moment.

Who are the favourites in your group?
NFI but it ain't me !

How many teams do you think will join in the future?
I think it will cap out at around 500 :)

Anything else you want to say about this?
Any server like this needs people prepared to put in the time and effort to make comps work so I'd like to thank you for putting this together.
I'd like to see more emphasis put on training players rather than this buy the best scenario. A more random approach to training should be better rewarded rather than the Corners/Jogging most seem to favour.

Many thanks Dave. And good luck.
