Wasn't Sam on the original X-ball team? Did he get cut, or did I miss something?

Is Nicky T still going to be on the team even though he will be living in the USA? it's possible but that's some level of commitment for flights and training etc. It's been done before, by Robbo, Giles, Dave Spittle, Nick etc, but it's quite a burden after a while to keep up.

And I think that given Mr Toye and his team-mates were willing to make tha break, it suggest that he and they saw more potential in tha new team than in tha existing one - and that pretty much says it all I guess.
Maybe. I'm interested to hear Mark's comments. Everytime we have discussed building an 'uber' UK team we came down the financial investment and sponsorship required to do it. Maybe that's the potential Mark saw in the new team (not meant in a bad way as that IS what is needed to compete at the higher level).

But then we can't speak for Mark, I'd rather let him do it himself :)

So do we get to hear who the major sponsors are? are they as expected?... ;)

People will want to comment on the players/managers and make recommendations, it happens in all sports. As GloryKid points out Colby is blinding at times. I'd like him to stay with this new set up as I think he will fit into such a style amazingly (or else some other team should snap him up QUICK!)

colby is a very consistant player always has been good, however when sam was on shock and then banzai's everybody overlooked colby except Mr toye.

Colby is one of the best players i have seen, we used to play a lot of five mans together along with sam at outer limits and other venues.

I honestly hope this will work out but I can't help thinking that the Rushers were already on the way to achieveing the ultimate X-ball team from the UK. Did they need to be split up and joined with others or did they just need an arse load of sponsorship to make it to the top?
Manike, those are my feelings exactly.

Tj-Nope, I feel ledz would make the best coach but thats about it.

Rancid, I can see where your coming from but like Manike said, there is an opportunity cost involved. On the other hand, I wanna see England kick ass and trying something new cant be all bad, as long as they can stick together, train hard and swim through the bullsh!t.

Yeah we are in agreement.

I think Ledz is a great leader and coach, he also has a lot of talent as well as a vested interest in the pie shop ;)

I'd also like to see Toye have a big influence on the team, I think the Rushers under his leadership are the FIRST team from the UK to start getting it together.

Add Jack Wood and Chris Edwards playing and Ledz playing/coaching to the Rushers and I think you've got it.

How is all the sponsorship going to work out I wonder...

The rushers are playing shoot the rainbow! and they ain't split so far, as Mr toye would say

Watch this space

Mother, is that you?
Hey guys, this is exciting already. Like Manike said, we're all having our two penneth on a team that is nout to do with us - ie the virtues of each player, who should be captain, who should be chief coach etc. We have never done this with any other team before.

I see what people are saying re The Rushers, but if you subscribe to the fact that you need time and more money to be a world threat, then perhaps this new team will have more pulling power? And perhaps, to answer Glorykid's point earlier, that's why it is not being amalgamated into the Rushers.
