I'm lazy, are any of them decent fighters?

I'm hoping Norfolk doesn't get soft with Neilson and co leaving.

nope...brittain blows and clark isn't the worst, but not that great either.

No. Matt Kennedy is a decent MW, and you have Mat Clark and Josh Brittain who have size and put up respectable FM totals two years ago and then did nothing last year. Essentially you have some starting points for a nice gritty team except there's no SHW, HW or LHW to lead the way.

Norfolk fans just have to hope that the Ads ownership pulls some strings and gets some fighters signed because Anaheim was pathetic at giving the Cuse fans what they wanted. Mirasty got blackballed, McGrattan was there for a month and used in a PWF role and every other toughness "answer" was in the likes of Leigh Salters, John Kurtz or Mark Bell. But an Admirals club with those three would look much improved over this current bunch.
