Nine players from SDL and NEFJ, the entire back line. Seems a bit lazy. Why not Davy Coetzer or AJ Alatimu?
Coetzer made 2nd team. Which yeah, despite the excess of NE and SD players on first team, I have to put Potroz over Coetzer. Alatimu didn’t even make the Honorable Mention list.
I mean sure Potroz had better stats in the end, but given the regular season standings that’s only because NE lasted longer in the playoffs. And Coetzer had better stats on a team with a worse record.
Granted I’m biased as a SaberCats fan.
