Maybe the secret is sign players who know how to play in july/august in the height of humid-ass death weather instead of scandinavian players who thrrive in the snow.

Well… when are the play offs? Humid ass July/August or frozen ass October/November?

Can't win 'em all I guess :/
...Also in order to get that far in the playoffs you need to win the games in humid-ass july/august and nothingburger september...!

You can always put on gloves, long sleeves and run to stay warm. Heat and humidity on the field are killers

That was really fun.

yea i noticed that. he's definitely not match fit. he's coming back from a serious injury and probably not going 100% at training yet. it's going to take time for him and also time for heber when he returns too. but he's going to hit peak fitness in august so it'll be just like playing in brazil. he'll love it.

I don't quite understand why we're playing him if he's still dealing with an injury. Unless he's healthy and just trying to get match-fit now.

i think he is healthy or he'd still be on the injured list. he's just still trying to get match fitness and get a feel for the league. Ronny said in his press conferences before that Talles is not as fit as Thiago and it shows. It will just take some time. Both players will need time to get used to the league, but it seems Thiago is adapting faster (which could be due to his better fitness).

Unfortunately, the best way to get match fit is to actually play. So Talles will need to get more minutes if he's ever going to get match fit and give us his full potential. We just have to be patient.

The good thing is with 5 subs per game and the depth we've now built, we're able to do that without sacrificing a whole lot.

Also, after the upcoming match against Montreal, we have 6 matches in 22 days and if you extend that a little bit, 9 matches in 36 days.

I imagine there will be some decent rotation throughout and many guys will have chances to get some decent minutes.

I was kinda hoping that one of the cameras that briefly stayed on Sean Johnson after he threw the ball would've stayed on him the whole time just to capture his reaction as it all happened. But obviously I understand why no cameras did that as the excitement of the play unfolded.

Just shows you that YES Network needs more cameras
