    Where is Schleck??

    In Czech NT we don't have Kristyna Pastulova (MB), Julie Jasova (L), Sarka Kubinova (S), Lucie Muhlsteinova (S), Michaela Monzoni (MB), Ivana Plchotova (MB). Maybe some of them will join NT later...


    New are Kamila Spacilova (L), Iveta Halbichova (S), Klara Vyklicka (MB), Eva Rutarova (MB) and Ivana Cebakova (OH).


    From French NT lack of Schleck is definitely a weakness. I saw that Orle switched from MB to OP, how did she play in league throughout season as OP ?(
    In NT we don't have Anna Rybaczewska (OH), Alexia Djilali (OP/OH), Armelle Faesch (S), Pauline Soullard (MB), Marielle Bousquet (L).


    New in French NT are Lisa Menet-Haure (L) and Tiphaine Sevin (S).

    Well, I forgot to add that all players that aren't on the list of 18 are from Pałac Bydgoszcz and this club is still fighting for a place in Orlen Liga in upcoming season, so they aren't of this competition :teach:

    Quote from ossubtus

    is collar changing positions? from the WCh qual, i thought she was SPAIN's best MB. she and river are def. spain's most promising players.


    She originally was a MB, in 2010 she changed position to OPP and now she is playing OPP in club. Last time in NT she played MB but now it's listed as Opp... so, I really don't know...


    BTW, Spain will play some friendly matches with Belgium before ECH qualf. so we'll know about Collar position in these matches :cheesy:

    hi chicha,


    no compreendo, que piensan los tecnicos de espana???? i mean, collar is not only spain's best MB, she's practically the only MB they have. why move her to OPP? who are the MBs they got? did they suddenly find 2 exceptional MBs?????
