i dont if its just cause i dont follow the NLL too closely, but the only name ive heard of from that list is shawn cable

[dedwards]

Their first string will be very good, but not sure about the rest.

[MaKiMaKi13]

only ones i know of are the Ratcliff's perhaps ill do some research on the others

[dedwards]

I'm guessing these 10 guys don't actually play in England:

Matthew Roik (Philly)
Owen Williams
Matthew Wilson
Kevin Winters
Joe Harper
Shawn Cable (Calgary)
Jason Clark (Chicago)
Luke Darkins
Cayle Ratcliff (UMBC)
Lewis Ratcliff (Calgary)

With only 4 non-passport holders allowed per team, its going to be interesting to see who has English passports.

[aussielax]

John Beadle played for my club in Australia should be good to see him play at the worlds.

i think most of them will have english grandparents...just supposition of course

i think beadle will take to box like a duck to water!

i think most of them will have english grandparents...just supposition of course


Only 4 non-passport holders (ie grandparents) allowed per team.

[terryhhh]

how do you know??? lol

[terryhhh]

p.s. your not in oz (or eltham!!) anymore lol!!!!

[Hally]

hahaha thats true im not changing it though

[laxman_26]

The US/CAN based players are gonna have to do alot of running because as soon as the second string come on there gonna get battered!, The only decent English based player that i can see on the roster is beadle! the rest are from the south of england and the standard down there is not good enough to take to a world stage....

[dedwards]

It's great that they're giving it a go ... but unfortunate they're not in our pool :(

[lacrosse34]

[Tridentslax]

and a field player

[Iamodie]

Owen Williams grew up in Red Deer he's a very good player that the seniors have called up numerous times until he went west for some JR A ball last summer.
