BXV: Liverpool Rams

[Nige]

List News

It's been a busy trade period for Liverpool with the club exhausting all but one of the allotted movements for BXVs clubs. The work of Coach Nige has been aggressive, but it is believed that he's very happy with the result. The primary focus of the trade period was to achieve list balance, set the team up for current and future success, and also to get rid of the issue that has plagued the club over two seasons - that being a shortage of mids.

The club will enter the draft with picks 5, 19, 27 and 35 to add youth to the list and round of the squad for 2018. At this stage,
there is no indication as to whether Nige has a specific draft strategy or is flexible in his approach. It was initially thought he would be stocking up on mids but recent trade acquisitions have likely changed that plan. The 'best available' approach seems like it could be the one favoured, but one can only guess for now.

At this stage, no further delistings have been planned with the club looking to retain all the current players but their hand may be forced in the coming weeks. Nige is happy to use rookie picks if it comes to that but it's understood that he would prefer not to in an ideal world.

With the newfound depth at the club, many are speculating as to the best XV for 2018 and who might be in the leadership group. New recruit Hugh Greenwood is already very popular and said to be one of the coach's favourites. Dayne Beams is expected to be officially appointed captain for next season before year's end but the club will put off any kind of announcement until year's end.
