It's been more than five years and not once in that time did I ever see myself returning to manage this league for another season, until this week anyway. So here it is finally - the 8th season of Elite League: Australia (ELA), where we look to cover a brand new era in Australian and...

Continental United v Stormont Shamrocks at Cardiff
- Pitch: :ar::left: Hard
- Players injured/unavailable: None...
Both are taken. I reckon you'd be better off going for Luke Georgeson, the superb Kiwi all-round talent who almost ended up playing for Ireland irl but pulled out at the last moment.
@RUDI this is invalid as he is already a part of Stormont's squad.
You guys have just under 7 hrs until the transfer window closes for good. As of now, Clontarf (@Welwyn) still need to replace the retired Morkel and Malahide likewise with Rankin. For the rest of you, this is your last chance...
This is because Morkel retired in 2021, same as the likes of AB, ten Doeschate, Rankin, Wilson etc. Kevin O'Brien was an active player until only last year, and I have allowed similar retirees who called it quits in 2022 and 2023 such as Porterfield, Coetzer, MacLeod, Myburgh one last hurrah...

It ain't a draft. I don't recall ever doing such a thing for a transfer window before, because they are generally for trading out unwanted retired players or such. And last I checked, there are plenty of top bracket OS players available and too few OS slots to fill them all in.
Also I would be cautious before selecting certain players solely based on orbs in those lists because I did them mostly in 2021 with very few recent additions. It's better to look at their recentmost performances
