FYI I'm not keen on Christchurch Saints as a team name

Saints don't do very well in this sport  :P

Basically if this goes ahead we can throw our deals out of the door, which will completely screw New York.

So if this goes ahead I will not be a co-coach at New York. All this will do is strengthen the 2 lower clubs, screw the next 3-4 teams above them and the status quo remains for the rest.

Think the priority picks this year will go a long way to helping them if they use them right. Look last year pot got deledio with #1 so if the teams want to start winning then they can if they make the right trades. We cant have mergers everytime a team goes shower.

You're not going anywhere :P

Thoughts on my suggestion of doing this AFTER the trade period?

This sums it up.

Look at the proposal for the draft picks from Oz. We would have to scrap the deals we have done.

How about this.....

instead of any kind of poaching, the two new teams will get the first 2 picks of each draft round

AND

10 retired WXV players each. These players will have a score allocated to them based on a random selection of previous scores they did. Can only play if they can't field a team?

Btw nobody has any deals atm officially

No, this is not needed. The teams will balance themselves out over time when the kids that Pacific, Beijing and NDT have start hitting their primes and the old guys that the Suns and Dongs have start dropping off.

There's always going to be bad teams, let the coaches fix it with smart trading and drafting.

I agree, but am really hating the games where teams have basically no chance of winning

I was thinking this as well but judging by some of the deals offered to us for Pick #1 which were quite frankly ridiculous, I'm not sure we'll be able to get our hands on a player of the calibre of Deledio this year. We will see though I guess
