CRL VIII - Changes to teams and gameplans

OK, lets get the ball rolling......

There will be some changes to CRL VIII. I will outline them below.

FORM
The big change is form, as known in CRL VII, will change. For CRL VIII, players stats won't change. However, a weekly injury list will be published. This will list all of the players unable to take part in the following round.

NB - Injuries will occurr in first grade only!

SUBMITTING GAME PLANS
From now on, FG coaches and PL coaches will submit seperate gameplans. FG games and PL games will appear seperately as well. This means that coaches will have to liaise seperately to discuss who is promoted or dropped, or how they cover injuries. They will submit gameplans independently, though.

CLUBS
First Grade Clubs will remain the same. However, their feeders have changed. The new CRL PL comp will be drawn from NSWRL and QRL teams, plus a few extras.

The clubs are listed below:

Brisbane Broncos - Toowoomba Clydesdales

Canberra Raiders - Wagga Kangaroos

Canterbury Bulldogs - Old Bar Pirates

Cronulla Sharks - Redcliffe Dolphins

Gold Coast Titans - Wynnum Manly

Manly Sea Eagles - Gosford Cougars

Melbourne Storm - Adelaide Rams

New Zealand Warriors - Wellington

Newcastle Knights - PNG Kumuls

North Queensland Cowboys - Young Guns

Parramatta Eels - Orange CYMS

Penrith Panthers - Bathurst Panthers

South Sydney Rabbotohs - North Sydney Bears

St George Dragons - Illawarra Steelers

Sydney Roosters - Newtown Jets

Wests Tigers - Balmain Tigers

There will still be a club salary cap, and bidding process will be per club - as in CRL VII.

CRL Sex Series will start in 2 weeks - after school holidays!

Following the off-season coaching shenanigans by the Eels and Cowboys boards, Bartman is ready to guide the North Queensland Cowboys through CRL VIII. :D

Am not sure if Davester and Bomber will nab first grade spots of their own in the wash-up, but either are welcome to the Young Guns role, with a view to them gaining much first grade CRL experience during this season.

Looking forward to taking over the reins at the Eels, although I'm not sure of the exact status of the Orange CYMS coaching position.

It seems that Pistol will be taking a break from CRL this season, and has made an offer (an offer which I've accepted) to me take over the reins at the Broncos.

If all sits well with Misty, folks should now contact me with questions relating to the Brisbane Broncos.

Cheers.
