Snippet from recently uploaded video featuring a talk with Pete Russell and Tom Roberts where Pete explains why MKL are heading into the new season with only 4 out of 5 import slots filled.

A pretty significant vote of confidence for the Brits but are they putting themselves at a disadvantage early on?

There's no promotion.

There's no relegation .

I know by MK self imposed standards they didnt do so well last year , but, the team they have put together this year just looks SO impressive, why?

There's just so many good players !

I mean you could take a few great players away from this team and (on paper) they could still whoop some of the other teams.

I dont get it, seems like too much (in the nicest way).

It's that time already 🙂 - looks like theyre staying with the black/white/grey again - which I like

Season gets off to a start on Friday 18th September when Leeds Knights host Hull Seahawks. The game centre has also been updated so the database and sidebar have been updated too. Looking forward to seeing the season get started and continuing to build our community here!

Some really big signings this year, seems to be some very strong sides emerging.

As a Bristol Pitbulls fan with our first pre season game scheduled for next month (albeit it the end of August) I would be a liar if I didnt say i was worried with our current signings.

Weve got outstanding players in Bricknell, Dunbar , Butler and Dylan Stewart but alot of the current signed team are unproven and tbh bit underwhelming. Weve still got around 10 players to announce and not sure if we actually have signed any.......Not that I am un the "know".

Hows your team shaping up?
