Why should it be up to the new coaches? Whoever gets Bradford arent going to want to chop there team up and fill it with grope lane players.

The question is do we want two good teams or one good team and one shower team.

And arguing that you dont want to fastrack grope lanes success as it will damage the teams around it is ridiculous and just accepting mediocrity. They can also get better by trading in older guys but they chose not too. Bontempelli over gibbs? Thats tanking right there.

Why shouldn't it be up to the new coaches? Why do you want to deprive them of such a decision? The state of Badgers list is pretty clear to see, they've got a fairly strong side, but there's a few things the new coach could do. This is probably the most even XVs competition, the gap between first and last isn't that big.

Memph's already done well to help the Steins and the new coach shouldn't have too much trouble helping Grope Lane as the bones of a good young team are there. I can easily see the Giants outdoing their result from last year.

The best thing I liked about the merging of two teams is that the incoming coach get a better sense of control and ownership of the team, rather than inheriting other's people's decisions, they get to put their own personality on it.

As a member of the Grope Lane application I definately want the team to stay the way it is.........not a combination of both teams.

Hey y'all,

What's the go with rookie lists? Are they continuous or do we get to make a new one each season (I think its the latter).

Cheers!

We get to make a new one this season, but that might be only because of the Recycled Players draft we had. Not sure what the norm is.
