The troubles of the california vandals poor season seems to come from California Vandals coach Chris Maunder inability to be able to have full control of the team. at the moment the board of the vandals want to use skills like in basketball and nfl, to promote the game in the USA!

While lockyer, campbell and inglis have the skills to utilise a passing game like bball is other players like monty betham, anton oliver, corey parker, shaun timmins, ryan shortland, tony grimaldi and mark o'neill do not even get close to the skill set needed.

Carolina panthers wide receiver keyshawn Johnson also leads the brigade in the nfl skill sets where they try and go out and bash the opposition. it worked awesome against the visiting cougars who was on a three match road trip through brisbane and manchester, where they injured 6 players (one twice). The only problem was the cougars decided to just play football (won two scrums against the feed and a forty twenty in a ten minute span) and won the match 54 - 6.

wellington now sit one win outside the eight and now face the impressive sunshine coast this weekend
