Well it seems to be pretty clear cut, Lawrence "Big Mac" MacKenzie will be our team captain for season 23!

And now on to who makes "week" two of tryouts, we really cut back on guys, all of them left are serious players:

Guards
Shatrughan Palit
Barry Bains
Stuart Madelin
James Gascoigne
Alan Sharpling

Forwards-yeah, only one guy got cut, this is a tough group here
Connor Anderson
Warren Stewart
Elmo Antonio Armada
Connor Marshall
Veluchami Omayorupagam

Bigs
Clint Eliopoulos
Lawrence MacKenzie
Gregor Simpson
Don Holm
Darryl Austin
Rudolph Brewer
Niall Coates

Also a special shoutout for Brendan Mackay and Michael Andrews, who are both on teams that appear to be going bot. They'd both be on these lists if they weren't, if they do go bot they'd both be great pickups if you're looking for a potential NT player(though Andrews needs about 1 more season of training).

Can I ask how many of the forwards will make the team?

Hopefully Elmo can do me proud in the tryouts!

Hmm, I'm not sure yet, but I'd say the opening roster will probably have a max of 3 of the forwards on it.

And since he was on sale I forgot to double check Coates >< He too will make the 2nd week of tryouts.

Connor Anderson should be a captain one day. Versatile player who gives it all and commendable effort to retain him by a DII team.

He would indeed be another worthy choice.

And some of you may have noticed that a roster has been chosen! Well, don't get too excited, because this opening roster is not The opening roster. We're just trying something a little different for our scrimmage with Canada next monday, though I'm sure many of the players will overlap.

i'd drop all players and select em based on GS. make a shortlist of 12 players, who you expect to make it, and keep room for those. then select 3 or 4 others if GS would require it in the beginning. once that is done, you can move forth and it makes sure that you got good GS on your players ;)

Won't get to watch the game until later, but it looks like we played excellently vs Poland today, hanging with them for 3 quarters before being finished off. Very promising.

Generally speaking, losing Gascoigne in the last part of Q3 made all the difference, from then we were always going to lose, before then it was v tight.

Hadn't actually seen that yet, watching it now, bummer really.

Though it should be noted they had an injury very early in the 1st as well, I'm still very happy we were in it at all.
