    Meijners is IMHO better choice than Neriman, she's more universal OH and improved a lot in last years in Busto and Piacenza :win:


    If I were the coach I would risk that.. Put Neriman in and let Esra pass in the back row.. or start with Esra and let Neriman attack in the front row.. and as foreigners you'll have Larson, Furst, Poljak... However I agree with you Meijners us more universal OH

    True, but during her period in the NCAA Karch would just go off about Hodge all the time so he probably will have his favorites on the team, Gibbemeyer was another one of his "favorites". I do want to see Lauren Plum play, she sets fast very easily and IMO is more accurate with those than Alisha.


    AND PLEASE PLAY WITH MY GIRL KANANI!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


    As many here said Hodge is a great attacker but I don't think she'll be a starter in USA NT... This team is about ball control, passing, middle attacks, fast sets, defense. .. and Hodge does not allow those things.. I am looking forward to seeing how things will go

    What I mean is they won't be able to play because the spot for their respective positions will be given to others... more deserving players. Dixon>>>>Gibbemeyer>>>Adams; Hodge>>>Richards>>>>>>Hill.


    In USA NT every player fights for it's place and I don't think it will go this way.. Dixon has proved nothing with playing half a season in Rabita, with all respect to her.. Harmotto has been injured so I don't see her spot guaranteed. Hodge is not a player who can be compared to Kristin since she is all about attack. Someone jas posted a list of players who a currently in USA gym and Hogde was not one of them.

    Gibbemeyer, Hill, Adams and will not play WC and GP. May be in Montreaux. There are so many recently graduating players girls vying for the spot as well as come-backing veterans.


    Where did you get this info? And they won't play even Grand Prix.. I don't think it's a good idea.. WCH is coming up, they have to prepare well so they need matches.. Also Adams did not play so much during WGP

    Maren Brinker at the official press conference presentation in Montichiari: "After one year in Poland I'm very happy to come back to Italy: the level in Italy is higher than in Poland and I think I can improve more here. I think I can help Montichiari and make the difference here. My best skill is spike, but I want to try to improve also my reception".
    From what she declared it seems she has quite a big self-esteem :whistling:


    I love Maren as a player but I disagree with her on that.. She is not a good spiker.. her best skill should be serve..

    I disagree. It's been said before, but I'll say it too. There's a common misconception that things are much easier for a player just because she's tall. Yes, she may have an advantage at the net but is also means she's heavier, and therefore, slower. and for a player as tall as Gamova, she has handled her frame extremely well. Plus, she can make some incredible defense from time to time, something you won't normally expect from a tall player. Not to mention she's mentally strong, technically skilled, and is still is a top player despite her age. :!: You don't get to see a player like that often.


    Looks like Osasco now uses Bosetti in sideout just to receive and Adenizia always attacks from 4 instead of her :what:


    In an action before Bosetti did not jump in the middle and Larson scored so Adenizia got really angry and yelled at her.. so Caterina got mad

    I said the same during CL F4 but I have to say it again, Kazan is an absolute pleasure to watch when they play like this :!: Such high quality in all actions and great coordination within the team.


    If you think Gamova is only her height, then well, sorry, but have you been watching her at all? ;) She's so much more than that.



    Matthias, totally agree with you!


    I don't think she's only her height. I am saying it's not unbelievable. Unbelievable is when she dig some hard ball$..



    congrats to both sesi. a very successful 2014 for them indeed. :)


    volero played great as well, just a little less error and they could have gotten the 3rd place. regardless, a well played match> :thumbup:


    side note: did suelle, give the referee a finger??? ?( 8|


    Yes she did

    I agree with proposed solutions, Kasia without reception can focus again on spiking, what she did on high level in last games of Azeri legue ^^ there's another thing - what will Rabita do with foreigners limit ?( they still have ZERO local players :whistle: Did Cubans think about Azeri citizenship?

    Where Rosana Giel disappeared? I thought that she'll play also in Rabita...


    I am wondering about her too.. She was on the list of players for CL F4 and now she's gone


    Just to inform: They are never slaves and are very happy here in Baku. They have everything they missed in their land.


    Time will show how everything works, INSHALLAH.


    I agree with Ilgar.. they are certainly not slaves.. Rabita is a club who threats athletes very professionally.. they never have any problems.. not that I have heard of.. (except that Montano issue)
