EXV: Belarus Bison

[LaHug]

Last week I was wondering why LF wasn't involved in XV's yet. Well done Huggy on securing a brilliant coach. :)

Tbh I had been ask before can't remember for which of the XV's before but turned them down.

Must've been my awesome pitch! I got all of the HOFers from the Bison and sat them down to discuss why LF would be making the right call ;)

A new season brings a new logo to the Belarus Bison :)

The head looks weird yet fierce, I like it!

Looks good HB
Someone(won`t mention his name) is meant to be doing a new one for me but he may have forgotten about it.

Howdy all, stew42 here, recently appointed Assistant Coach of Belarus Bison. Having had experience as an Assistant Coach of the Birmingham Dragons and a caretaker coach of the now defunct Newcastle Falcons in the British domestic game, I'm thrilled to be finally fulfilling my continental aspirations. I feel that there is a lot of potential in this side, as well as rich heritage, and that we will rise one better than we did in 2013.

While I'm here, here are the trades the mighty Bisons have completed so far in the off-season. Message LH, Honey Badger or me for trade offers :D
Out: P. Duffield + S. Jacobs + N36
In: A. Fasolo + B. Grundy + N11 + N23

Out: D. Mundy
In: N18 + N28 + N48

We'd like to thank Duffield, Sauce and Mundy for their services during their time with us

This leaves us with the following picks in the National Draft: 6, 11, 18, 22, 23, 27, 28, 48, 50, 64
And the following Rookie Draft picks: 6, 20, 34, 48, 62

Bisons 2017 Seasons Best & Fairest Winner

[LaHug]

Nicely done, nas! And well deserved by Grundy. Absolute beast with Nank sniffing at his heels for the ruck spot.

[Holz]

Congrats to Grundy, at the start of the season would have thought Treloar was a monty.
