Unexpected SP Skills Appear

Written by TallGuysInSpandex at 15:55 6/11-2021

  Our daily habit includes looking at the transfer list for any new Scots, and yesterday we saw Derek Griffiths appear with already 58 SP. It was clear that training had begun and then he was released...but our curiosity won out and so we scouted him. To our great surprise, Derek has Incredible SP potential! With only Small for FR and None for TQ/HL/CB...he is doomed to a career as a leadout. But in a team trying to convert to 100% Scot, he's a special prize.
  
  We add him to our current trainee set of Alistair Oban and Gav Grassmarket...and it is now quite assured that we will be auctioning off the fantastic Armand Maiga to capture some profit and be able to complete our All Scot conversion and training of these three lads.
