I'm actually pointing it out because of all the teams that are already scraping the barrel.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

But that will surely still retain the squad sizes won't it!

Yes, but it allows shifting around of players, meaning that some Colts rookies may be lured to other teams.

Also, it's very unlikely that no more signups will come through this season.

 

[Mister Wright]

Colts also have a far bigger squad than other sides when Internationals etc happen.

Yeah, but, the other squads have a lot more experienced players to draw from, we only really have 2 experienced players. Surely that should allow for more squad members.

Well, at present the blacks have eleven fit players...

 

[Robertinho]

Really scraping the barrel, hey? That's pretty ridiculous, but there's 6 players you can choose to fill in for you if the need arises..

 

[steds]

4 actually, I think. Blue have reserved Maddocks and Gazzard is on 12th man duties for us?

Something like that.


Anyway, i don't see the point in actually pointing anything out.....everyone knows about it and Liam has already introduced retired players to try his best to rectify the problems during the SL tour.

 

[marc71178]

But why introduce retired players when there's a new player come into the system?

Realistically Colts are never going to lose more than Kyle this season, so will always have 15 to pick from, surely by rotation Blues and Blacks should have the extra squad options first?

Thats a very good point IMO.

The Colts shouldnt get any mid-season sign ups, as they are extremely unlucky to lose many players due to international duty.

Valid point that it was a post beginning of season sign up.
But that was to ensure 16 members at the colts club, as they and black only had 15 beforehand.

Perhaps black should have recieved the new player?
No one at blue is complaining about the 'lack' of players. So no skin off our noses, I don't think.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The problem with assigning him to Black is that Black already has 5 genuine seam options and 7 genuine bowling options altogether. It would have contributed to an imbalance of the squad if I assigned another seamer there. That said, the next rookie will automatically go to Black, then the rotation will move Red-Green-Blue from there.

The general rookie dispersion rotation will be Black-Red-Green-Blue.

"But why not Blue first?! We only have 11 players and are scraping the bottom of the barrell like every other club!!! How unfair!"

 

[Nate]

We get the point Trav!

Have a tissue.

 

[Travis_Teh]

It was a sarcastic joke aimed at others not so understanding as I am in regards to lack of players for clubs :P
ie the "'s were used :P

Awseome.....
are we going to go brick Gallops house for being the most righ left winger priemer?

No, they should still have some, but at last in the rotation IMO.

The side most hit should've been first then teams in order.

Welcome to the system.

You'll be assigned to a team at the start of next season. For now, stick around and check out the likes of Offseason Club Cricket when it comes around again (soon).
