Canada plays a scrimmage really early on the morning following the results of the election. With very little time to scout and plan I am curious what the other candidates have planned for a line up and what tactics they are considering?

Interesting line up but not what I would use.

Pushkin is likely not going to be on the team as he is old and not getting training. There are many up an comers I would sooner test out. The same goes for Wendon, it is really sad to say but I think Wendon may have played his last game on the NT.

Since the roster is open till next Saturday I would likely go with a youth movement for the scrimmage and play a bunch of the up and coming players.

as for Tactic's I might try out a Inside Box and one because most teams have Dominating posts and then maybe ill go with RNG/Motion/Outside isolation

even if he is not being trained i will send message's asking the Managers of players to send me trainning updates that way i can compare them with older players on the team and if the older guys are surpassed then i drop em and pick up new guys

Yes many, but I will start with a few.

What do you mean most teams have dominating post players? That is pretty vauge don't you think because most teams would also have dominating defensive post players...

Can you give me a typical build of one of these said 'dominating post players'? I would like to find one and buy them.

Do you really want to be the NT manager? This is a serious question as the NT manager has a ton of responsibilities that include trying to embrace the entire Canadian community. With your somewhat questionable past and lack of high end BB experience I think you may find the post completely overwelming.

How old are you? I know age does not matter in a game of this nature, but past managers have taught me that this is position is kinda like a job. A fun job, but a job none the less. Just curious if you are legal to work in Canada :P

What? For real? Did you accidentally mix up the starting and backup positions? Issa is miles ahead of Mathews in almost every skill, Milot is at best a role player due to his terrible shooting (and this is coming from the guy who owns him), Pushkin is not only older than Picard but also worse in almost every skill, TSA is better than Smith in every skill but three (two are tied, and the one Smith is better at is shotblocking, I think). Moran is better than Mahmoud.

How did you even come up with this list?

Haha!

One out of five is not bad. If putting the starters together the only one he has right is Abbott, pretty entertaining stuff :)
