Good stuff hosh - only the Irish standing in the way of a perfect 6-0.
I hadn't realised that Roger Young was on the team. I figured he was one of the future brigade with a bit of work still required. Then again, he was former a Tron and they sure knew how to get guys trained up quickly!
In hosh we trust!

Yeah, he's fairly well trained, Catch = 20, physicals not great though. Could do a lot worse.
6-0 would be nice, but without a finals appearance it will be just as shallow as my past attempts. But to be honest, I am glad to have qualified with this D - I'll be even more surprised if it holds up anywhere near this well in the WC. I think the O will need to put up points!
I quite like what you have done with the defense. Especially when you consider that the LB core and secondary were the areas hardest hit by declining physicals and subsequent retirements.

Yeah the back field is a weak point. Especially the backwards trend the past few cycles.
I've got some good numbers coming through that resemble the now departed legion, but probably a cycle or two away still.
Some Aussies will find their way to the transfer market this afternoon with a roster trim down.

The D finally played to expectations!
Lost a game but held the division.
Wake me up in a few weeks!

Young not nearly as good as Hadley (injured) and the luck of the Irish today.
D actually had good start/finish ratings but Greenwood got smoked for 255 on 13 catches. And Prismall gives the finger to his club coach!
I think if the D can have 2 decent games in the WC we might get lucky! Don't want a super offensive group!

Wow, 10 pressures to 7 (2 and a sack - a pressure and a sack in the last 3 plays of the game!) in favour of the Irish.
