Perth Scorpions are not going to be back. Almost everyone had a 5/40 contract and is now a free agent. Owner lost interest and flat out disappeared. One of the GMs tried to keep things together but the deed was done.

Most of the guys have found other homes and a few of us will join the MTDs. Wish it could have worked out but we never got the leadership that you need to be successful.

I think you should have the GM PM Bort about getting them moved down -- I know he said he was still willing as long as there was a team wanting to move up.

This please. Do Oceania a favor and keep us from having cup cakes.

If it wasn't an Alpha team but a Zeta one, I'd suggest Samoa to be moved up

anyways, good luck finding a team to swap with Perth.

Funny when the CANS went belly up (for a legit reason)and some of their players joined the NITES....we took a lot of grief for it. I see a lot of other teams doing it this year and its ok. I have no problem with it...just have not heard one word this season with teams doing it.

That sucks ECT is now CPU after rollover. That was unexpected.

I'm not sure everyone has seen the IC/RTT combination. That's the only one I've seen though.

I mean, I improved Melbourne I think, but the guys came in from all over GLB.

I don't know if this is directed at me or not but I for one, nor anyone from my team, had anything bad to say about the Cans/Nites merge. We respected both of the teams, owners, and players before and after the merge. Yes it may have helped in our decision but we never had one bad word to say about what you did last season.

I don't know how one decides what is "legit"or not...but neither the Titans nor IC could continue to be competitive the way the league has gone. Legit in your mind or not, I have absolutely no regrets doing what we have done.

Just to be clear, I had no issue with it. If anything, to me it increases the level of competition, which is what I want anyways.

Wasn't directed toward you bro. I've been nothing but honest and upfront with everyone in this league from the get go. But for someone to insinuate that my agonizing choice to fold Rawle Tech wasn't "legit" makes me angry. No one but me and my players know how hard the decision was for me, even weeks after I announced it. I answer to no one as far as that decision is concerned.
