looks like Hawks is clear leader, looking forward to trying to knock them off Madlax - there is a team that size wise looks like they could not compete but they dont let that bother them - they are legit. Koopers- who knows sbut should be good with blended talent from Dukes DCE CRABS RR all tough and looking to separate from middle to the top in the next few weeks FCA- always slow starters- wait until summer tournaments API ??
True Hawks is the clear leader but lets not forget they are also the clear leader in holdbacks. They, and their supporters will deny this but all that know this team and the elite division know the truth. All teams in tis division have some holdbacks but not to the extent that this Hawks team has. The entire program has now made this their business model, following the long ago model of Crabs. I'm not complaining and no one else should be either, it is what it is and they are within the guidelines, a grade based league. But having a loaded roster with holdbacks gives a team a clear advantage. They are not unbeatable but to do so another team will have to play their best game of the season.
That is one of the biggest issues with holdbacks/prefirsts. There are only so many of them. And if you can get a team full of them. You will have an advantage other teams wont. Age has to many in each month to stack a team of older on age players as there are so many of them.
Youth was made for age restrictions...Not grade...Common sense tells you that
