If you stick an already settled team into a tournament like this you'll get complacent, lazy and ripped to pieces. One thing that came out of the trials was that when under pressure and left to your own devices players will play like a bunch o' crazies. This is what we need. If Robbo n' co can control this but still keep the fire burning then we're on to a winner. What a lot of players lack when on an established team, especially if that team are already at top level but aren't winning ****, is the use of their own minds.
Too predictable, too lazy and too complacent, relying on others to do the work when you yourself could be making that killer run or game breaking move. This is why I think Laurent Hamnets' got it all wrong, apparently he's putting in the Ton Tons squad, give or take, they'll get ripped (I may regret saying saying that). They too can't cut it with the yanks but he's gonna send 'em in anyway. Wha???? I always thought you learned by your mistakes.

Keep up the work dudes, it's gonna rock. :cool:

Good Lordy!
I don't think I ever met a man with a 28 inch waist! I'd be scared if I did!

Seriously though, assuming the team does (reasonably) well, I wonder if this could kickstart the careers of some of these guys.
As far as entering this team in the Millennium or other series, on one hand it would be cool, but at the same time you would also be depriving paintball as a whole of a great opportunity. Let's say that this nations x-ball thing is here to stay, and it will return on a regular basis, then it would seriously improve the level of paintball in the UK if the guys that are on the team take whatever they have learned, and apply it to their respective 'home' teams. This wouldn't happen if they all end up in the same team from now on.
Whatever option is better I'll leave up to you to decide.

I agree

Good point o' loaded one.

Didn't think about that. I suppose it kinda helps boost the whole game of the various teams that have players in the squad, doh! shoulda worked harder.


As for guys without a waistline, you aint met us yet bro. Me an' my bro 'Skidder' are rather lean of stature, although our game makes up for what we lack in physical size, and Benski is a skinny midget, so don't go getting all manly on our asses and mocking us or we may have to unleash the lean power of the Machine™.

I think Skid has a 28" waist, not sure though, may be 30".

Streamlined like a bunch o' gazelles, built for speed, featherlite killers.... WHUUUUUTT!!
