EXV: Svalbard Valkyries

[Ziplock]

And Mundy joins the team!

[Ziplock]

The loss of Hanley's DPP hurts the team, but with the addition of Mckenzie and when Higgins gets defence status, our backline should be stronger regardless.

The inclusion of Ziebell and Christensen as forwards next year is a big boost to the team.

It leaves us with this current team, with other projected DPP changes, which we believe is reasonably strong/ competitive

Giles plays for Bombers now ;). Also Caddy may just get plain mid, but Lynch would slot in nicely as F4!

Got quite a young base there so interesting to see you guys recruit Stevie J for that short term push for finals.

We got him quite cheaply in a mutually beneficial trade

Valkyries trade: Jasper Pittard + Sam Reid + Rookie Pick 32 + N34
Metal trade: Steve Johnson

We also got mundy in something similar

Svalbard gives: Betts, Bewick, N18, N48
Svalbard receives: Mundy

Belarus gives: Mundy
Belarus receive: N18, N28, N48

Hungary gives: N28
Hungary receives: Betts + Bewick



I was feeling like we could have a serious crack this season, we didn't lose any best 15, or even our first tier subs :P

[Ziplock]

Kelly getting dpp could be solid, along with Hoskin-Elliot being confirmed as a forward :)

And Taylor Adams also getting forward eligibility :)

Svalbards forward line is now beaaaast with depth and potential :P

[Ziplock]

We'd like the welcome clinton young to bolster our defensive depth, and also be thankful that higgins gets F/B dpp :P

[Ziplock]

we'd also like to welcome mdub to the valkyries as an assistant coach, with full permission to name teams and negotiate trades on behalf of the valkyeries (although official trade confirmation will still be staying with me)

Cheers Ziplock, pleasure to be apart of the Valkyries. Look forward to making an impact on this exceptional team and making a big push into finals contention!!  8)
