Boston should get consideration (They were Champs)... Its just hard for me to judge this second wave of teams. To me, it was like the AAA were all battling each other in the Pros cause 7 out of those "top 10 teams" listed all retired before they got moved up (only ones here were GRiTs, DesWK & Rhinos who played in the Lion Championship game *Rhinos were gone 1 season in WL*). If those teams wouldn't have broken up and kept on trucking, these new teams would have had a lot tougher time winning Championships. I'm not saying Boston or Darkar (who disowned APL) wouldn't have won the Championship... just think it would have been a much different league.
Ohh I meant no disrespect to WWR. I've been following Africa Pro since S5 when my first few players played in Africa's A S5 expansion teams. Back then it was about who recruited the highest level players they could, and up to S12 when decline started, the S5 teams proved they were just as good as the higher leveled Pro teams when their Levels finally caught up to them. So then, it's a matter of what team reached the highest in World League. Your team is one of the longest tenured team in the African Pro Leagues, and have had a chance in the World League, too, and did fairly well. Dogs haven't proved themselves in World League being only 3-0 so far, but it's looking good! I don't really care of someone disowns Africa, but the facts are that they came from Africa, and were one of the best teams in WL last season.
