Ethan Hughes was on the Quito list I received when I took over, but is also listed in the player pool.
Can someone please confirm if he is on the list or in the player pool?

[kilbluff1985]

we have 55 players on our list so will only be using R22

[Jukes]

I believe each club will require this amount of players (picks they will use for them):
Anaheim: 1 (22)
Boston: 7 (12, 36, 45, 48, 60, 72, 84)
Carolina: 6 (11, 23, 35, 47, 71, 83)
Chicago: 5 (1, 7, 14, 21, 33)
Colorado: 4 (15, 31, 39, 51)
Houston: 4 (18, 30, 42, 54)
New Brooklyn: 4 (5, 17, 29, 41)
Las Vegas: 2 (3, 13)
Ottawa: 5 (4, 16, 28, 40, 52, 59)
Quito: 5 (2, 6, 9, 10, 24)
San Francisco: 4 (8, 20, 32, 44)
Santiago: 2 (19, 43)

If I'm wrong let me know. As soon as PSK and I pick the last two ND selections and I finalise the player pool we can start picking.

[Jukes]

All seems to be fine, so we can commence drafting immediately!

The Chicago Sharks are on the clock.

[Nige]

You've got 6 picks listed for me. Only need to use 5.

[Big Mac]

Jayden Hunt come on down

[fanTCfool]

Jukesy can you please cross out Sam Shaw from the Rookie Draft list, probably shouldn't be available as he is retired

[fanTCfool]

Quito grab the exciting Aliir Aliir with #2 in the Rookie Draft

[Jukes]

Jayden Hunt come on down

Goes to show how bad my eyes are, didn't even see him to include him on my big board (well, short word document) of players in this draft ranked. And I have a few key position back spuds on there :P

Jukesy can you please cross out Sam Shaw from the Rookie Draft list, probably shouldn't be available as he is retired

He's on a list so I'm tempted to keep him up there, but I might as well scrub him. Joel Patfull too.

Aliir^2 was #6 on my big board (he's already 22), but it's close up there so a lot of good options. Hopefully a few of them can slip to #8 :P

[fanTCfool]

There are so many names on my big board, so tight together, had such a difficult time choosing but chose Aliir as I think he has room to grow that average, which is why I very slightly favoured him over a certain 25 year old. Besides, Quito's side needs a little longer to mature and Aliir meets the age requirement.

Can confirm this certain 25 year old is the #1 on my board :P

[Jukes]

The suspense is killing me!

Come on SR... nearly 24 hours and you've already been online mate.
