Birmingham biggest sliders after making the prelims

Beakers for premiership.

[Nige]

Beakers for premiership.

Yeah, I think the Beakers could, but the Breakers are no chance.  ;) :P

[Vinny]

You will only win if you get Sean Dempster Nate ;)

[Ringo]

Looking at the teams and bearing in mind some will still be trading there could be a couple of surprises coming up. Some changes to DPP may effect some teams as well.
Comment on last years Top 4.
Werewolves will be extremely strong again gave a lot to get Ablett but the addition of Ablett certainly strengthens team overall.
Hoods have not been overly active so far this trade period so will again be strong. Good gains in Sumner now with DPP and Robbie Gray.
Breakers will still be thereabouts having a quiet trade period so far but strengthened some areas.
Badgers have traded well and if main players stay on the park will again challenge.


Of the remaining Teams I have been impressed with recruitment by Owls, Falcons and Hawks.

Lobsters have changed track by going very young and they will be the big sliders this year while they rebuild.

I think the Top 8 will be in no particular order Werewolves, Hoods, Hurricanes, Hawks, Breakers, Hedgehogs,  Badgers and Owls/Falcons with Cruisers and Leeches pushing for the 8 as well.

You can't slide when you finish last...  :P

[kilbluff1985]

No kind words for the Bombers Ringo lol

I think we traded well considering our youth policy but obviously we are going to slide

[Ringo]

Fixed Nigey my bad (need to re-read before I post meant Bombers) and to be truthful do not think you will finish last this year.

[kilbluff1985]

I think Tom Mitchell, Belly and Caddy getting forward status helps us out heaps

[Ringo]

You have traded well KB to align with your policy but do not see the Bombers making the eight this year.  There are a few risks with a the youthful team but then again may really pay off.

[kilbluff1985]

Lol yeah I not expecting to make the 8

[Vinny]

But if KB can't make the 8, can we? :P

Thanks for the kind words Ringo. :)

But I think Bombers and Owls have similar teams.

[Ringo]

Just think you are a little stronger than the Bombers Vinny but that is my opinion only.

[Justin Bieber]

Badgers, Werewolves, Hawks and Hedgehogs are the only teams in it
