Halibut Talent Scouts - Preview - What we know:

Heroes vs Team Plank

Heroes: Ok, so we'll start with what we know, and I know what my team has been up to lately! An early start to a mixed nats campaign has seen the Heroes Ultimate Club hone in on some no nonsense training and make some very tough selections in the eve of Halibut 15. The exclusion of Starkey is likely to hurt the kids in green at the party. Meanwhile, Rick and Sean will be busting it on the field and we all know what Bevan is capable of. Expect arrogance from the Heroes women who are hung-over from the WUFL win of yester-year, and have not had to prove themselves through a selection process. The men will be looking to them to learn a thing or two about winning matches when it counts.

Team Plank: At a guess, it would be fair to imagine that the interstate travellers have had two training sessions together by now, and the Mayor would be pulling all sorts of things out of his .. hat at GC training. Everyone else is probably slacking off, with the exception of Team Plank. With Stu and Maylin training for worlds and big Rob Lowe in the form of his life off the back of a Firestorm season, this team looks sharp. With an average age of 30 (being generous), there is no doubt that Sophie Stewart will provide the lead-out at the party for the more seasoned campainers, namely Cola, who will be drinking anything but his namesake. But back to Rob Lowe - just think Jens Voigt in regards to drinking efforts. Rob will certainly enjoy dishing out the pain.

That's all for now. Stay tuned for more meaningless speculation. At this rate, we'll have it covered by Worlds!

As Sam Schlencker said: "I've been practicing the art of Plonking for years. It involves drinking a lot of wine and falling asleep in strange positions."
