Definite congrats Lew...yeah, the ASB week can be tricky, and as you say one of the 2-3 times during the season it might be worthwhile to train GS.
For teams not in the Cup, I took advantage of the week to play my key backups that may not get 48 minutes/week (primarily not trainees) to boost their game shape.
And glad to have Phantasm back active, even though they kicked the Streets teeth in last night.
