He sure does but the sharks weren't involved so of course he knows his stuff, if the sharks were involved then it'd be Sharks > Vikings. Or ultimately Sharks > Hurricanes > Vikings. The interesting thing is that sometimes upsets do happen with these sims (like real life) so that's when it gets hard to pick who'll win it. Also in the end sometimes it's the coach's tactics etc. and how they play their squad. It should be interesting to see how the new teams will do against the older teams such as the Spartans :ninja: Hurricanes vs Spartans Sharks vs Spartans Hurricanes vs Sharks will all be epic battles and great to watch the commentary.
I'm not sure about that as I discussed above upsets do happen, yes I'll admit our coach hasn't had experience with playing our players in the team (the same for the Hurricanes) so that's where other teams get the slighter edge but it'll depend when we play you if it's later on then the coach will get to know the players and where to play them. Although with the new regos all coaches will be left in the dry but not as much. We'll have to wait and see.
Vikings are the team to watch out for, they are the only team that have a player that is 100% attacking.
Don't understand it to be perfectly honest. Much be a case of First Season Syndrome. Not sure who in their right mind would want to go to the Sharks and I'm not quite sure what the Canes' modus operandi is going to be yet.
The hurricanes were always gonna do well, because they already had a squad but missed out last time around. And the Sharks haven't taken anyone from Kings' or Sparta from memory, just the poms from the giants and cheetahs, and a few stray kiwis.
Sharks basically have 2 teams that they can 're-sign' people from so they'll get the numbers fairly easily. Hurricanes basically had a team already so they'll get them again, which is why were losing guys to them.
