2015 WXV Awards and 2015 Rules Discussion

[meow meow]

I too am a fan of the leadership group even though I won't be able to captain Shaun McKernan any more.

But "real world sense" doesn't belong in this thread. Does Tom Liberatore's $500,000 2016 salary fall outside the salary cap because he didn't play in 2015? Only 49 more weeks of this to go :)

true
also does trading half your list for draft picks =- make real world sense?

hell does trading so much really make real world sense?...- no - but it is bloody fun :D

Brisbane Lions say yes.

[Purple 77]

Thank goodness ;D.

We at Cairo believe everyone in our XV has the capacity to be captain and are outraged that you're depriving them of such an opportunity.  >:( :P

But nah, I guess it makes things interesting, particular if injuries/suspensions hit.

If an LTI occurs to a leader, can someone else be elevated to the leadership group mid season?

I'd probably think no.

I might give some leniency though if say, you have one fit person in your leadership group, and he's been terrible this year. It will be case by case, but I might allow a CC or something.

[Purple 77]

Also, will get everyone to decide leadership groups after the 2nd Trade Period, so yonks from now.

Raises an interesting point if nominating co-captains must both be in leadership group.  Suspect yes but just clarifying early.

Yes :)

Would have liked to see the reserves rule implemented but, otherwise happy with the results of the votes.

I think the Leadership group thing needs to be flexible. I think you should be able to elevate someone if there is a LTI for sure. And, maybe add one new guy to it at the halfway mark of the season?

So if someone has been killing in the first half of the year (say Blicavs) then they can be considered as a captain in the run home/finals

I'm fine with a mid-season change... people get promoted during the season IRL, so why not us?

[upthemaidens]

How many players will be in the leadership group?
