Now, what's new in S26. First, the changes to game engine with prediction system that will likely affect more us, with a short roster, than some opponents. We'll see anyway, it looks like it can give only marginal advantages (3-8 points), but it's too early to say.
About roster, generation change is in progress. Here the best prospects for the incoming season, that will start with an impossible WC qualifier (not even a minimal chance to win a match)
POINT GUARDS
Historical Schartner and Kadzamira will deal with deskilling. Here we have great news with few new entries: Gulch, Mokitimi, Sugiura are a good pack for OD and passing, with chances to even improve
SHOOTING GUARDS
Kolane and Mbangwa are 34 and declining. We have already better players, as Lekoelea and new entry Mosheua with Mamoepa unfortunately dealing with potential cap, Maselelele and Tsenoki as passable backups with limits in OD. Reerink can add something to the roster.
SMALL FORWARDS
Jeff Wall will likely spend some time with us, although declining quickly. Themba Sebe is one of our superstars, a brilliant replacement. No great alternatives, not critical however as we will play with specialized players
TALL MEN
Wagana, Mtolo, Magubana are deskilling. Motihala is the other superstar we have and one of our starters with Galvin.Mazibuko, Hlomelang, Moonsamy add depth to the roster, hoping that Namuswa will grow as planned.
Bottom line: we have a team, not a deep bench but reasonably good to ensure some competitiveness even in next two seasons. I don't have visibility of current U21 players, so I will be in touch with the new coach to complete the roster. We are turning the corner, although the very small footprint will always be critical unless community will dramatically grow, not happened in BB-decades...
