As well as sorting out the guernsey for the Russian Roulettes, c4 also came up with our inspiring logo.

(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/110/logo2dvi.png)

An awesome alternate strip will be posted soon.

lts been done and looks fantastic, but l'm too computer-stupid to post it, so am relying (again!!) on some expert advice

As promised here's our fantastic new alternate strip

(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7606/guernseyclash.png)

Looks nice, but considering both strips are predominantly black it's not very alternate ;)

The alternate strip was designed due to a clash of guernseys between the Roulettes and the Savage Sons.

The Russian Roulettes are rapt to announce another trade has been completed.....again with Torps

We give....Dyson Heppell, Stephen Clifton and Niall McKeever

                                 in exchange for

                 Ryan O'keefe, Luke Hodge and Beau Waters

some people think this isn't the best trade but I do. Clifton is very underrated and will play every game easy. his an absolute Magnet and I'm supremely happy I get Heppell. McKeever is an work in progress but still young and hoping he'll become the next Pearce Hanley. I think this makes nos' team very good and gives me youth that's why We were both happy with this trade.   :)

bump

Is that a bump in fear of the bashers?































































lol jokes, we haven't got a ruckmen.

Likely best line-up for 2013

B Waters, Hurn, Yarran, Burgoyne

C Swan, Ablett, Hodge, Moloney

R Bellchambers

U Sloane, Greene

F Tippett, Chapman, J.Riewoldt, Menzel

E Spurr, Howlett, Kruezer, Varcoe

Picks remaining for the Rookie draft 10, 19 + 30

l thought l'd better try to keep my window open, because the way you and Holz have been trading it was closing fast mate

Just who will make captain? Not an easy choice :o

Just who will make captain? Not an easy choice :o

But its a nice problem to have.......and a big bonus is that come the finals l wont be up against either of them (assuming l make the finals that is)

i think the basher and I have you beat for the most part, but if swan and ablett go bang i dont think anyone can stop them.

Battle between us in the mids will be amazing Swan + Ablett v Pendles + Lids + Boyd that will be an interesting battle

So, does he know about XVs?

He had a look after my PM, thought it looked great fun and agreed to join my teams

l'd like to announce another addition to our coaching panel.

Joining the Russian Roulettes as an assistant coach is Roy.G.Biv  8)

.....this might seem a bit left field guys, even though Roy isnt very active here he has tremendous knowledge and will be a great asset to the team

Good addition Nost, could he be that guy that helps you find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for 2 straight seasons.

l'd like to announce another quality addition to the coaching ranks here at the mighty Roulettes.

He's a very active member of the FF community, passionate, knowledgable and an all round good guy.

l'm pleased to welcome Greenmoon to our panel as an Assistant Coach

Thanks Nostra for your warm welcome,
I am over the moon to have the opportunity to be apart of this exciting Coaching group and elite squad.
I could not resist to get on board as there is a big future here at the Roulettes.
I realise to become a senior coach in my own right i have to do the hard yards, and under the guidence of Nostra and his team
i see this happening down the track.
To the other clubs my door is always open for trade discussion when it is that time and i like to be seen as a person who gets the job done.
Thanks again to all involved and look forward to the challanges ahead.
