I think a few people have touched on my point, but I think it's a
matter of looking at the positives rather than being worried about
all the adverse affects it could have.
Sure it's not ideal timing, but the opportunity to play a high
profile team (ok - player) came up and the Phoenix jumped at it to
raise the profile. Just look at all the talk already - the
Knights/Kingz never got near this much publicity (I know, I
know, stop the comparisons).
The whole Phoenix squad is pretty solid, look at the joy we
are having trying to come up with a starting XI with everyone fit
this week. Say we rolled out with a 'second string' side
consisting (4-4-3):
-----------------Paston------------------------
--Lia-------O'Dor----Cleberson--------Old--
------George---Johnson--- Ferante--------
-Barbarousus--Brownlie------------Draper-
Or use a 3-4-3 with Lia in midfield and 3 CD's?
Not bad if you ask me - a little light on defense maybe, but
hey, so is the 'A' team! (Gotta wonder about the balance of the
squad Ricki - but that's another thread...)
And it's an exhibition match anyway, so why not all out
attack, 9-7 to the 'Nix.
