WXV: New York Revolution

[RaisyDaisy]

Looks like theres a chance we will get Duffield back for rd1, but now Montagna has been confirmed to miss rd1

Cant take a trick. Libba and Montags is going to be hard to cover  :'(

A tougher opponent in Berlin next week, but we are buoyed by our first outing for the season and would have some confidence for a decent result.

The two posts above have been updated and give an overview of how the 2015 trade period looks for New York. It's been another full on trade period in which we have been heavily involved in with 2/3 of our list being overhauled

Players highlighted are the new additions to our 2016 team while the post above this shows the team we will be submitting for season 2016

For the second year running we've made some big changes and said goodbye to some big names and loyal servants of the club but we now find ourselves with a younger team which has more balance across all lines, and up and coming youth that will hopefully develop into great players for the future

We were never really able to land an A grade ruck which would seem to be the missing piece of the puzzle, but with what limited options we had we have done the best we could

If the final week of trade weeks trades pass (which I would like to think would) then we finish the trade period with 36 players on our senior list and Picks 18,19,20 and PSD 1 to fill the 40, with 6 picks including 2 first rounders in the Rookie draft to fill our rookie list

All in all, it seems like everything has fallen into place and we are pretty much where we want to be, looking forward to the upcoming drafts and 2016 :)

A tough road trip to face Berlin awaits in Round 2 and they will be wanting to make a statement after a disappointing first round loss.

The last time I played you in a H&A season, JJK did that to me  ::) so I'm glad he's got that out of the way :P

As I said in the previews, our last 3 encounters have been decided by 4 or less WXV points, so I expect another epic encounter!

Another week and another Captain in the World's team of the week. Josh Gibson with a lazy 191. What a performance Gibbo!



Another excellent win in Round 2 away against Berlin. A tough assignment against Moscow awaits in our first home game of 2016 but the boys are going well.

A terrible performance against Cairo with a poor score of 134. Gibbo and Mundy big outs and we need our captain (whoever that may be) to start to lift. Jarrad Waite the star again.
