After checking with my league sources it appears the Wolves are planning to forfeit the rest of the season. If this is true this would be the 2nd time the Wolves have forfeited a season in the last 2 years. I heard they had 12-14 guys show up the other night vs. Novacaine (can anyone confirm this?) and if that`s true it`s a complete embarassment to forfeit this late in the season.

Can anyone else confirm or deny this rumor??

;	They definitely had more players than us, we had 10. They are still a good team, it sucks about #1 and #9 but they shouldn`t forfeit. They got good athletes and could still make noise in the playoffs.

;	Though they only show a consistent 10-11 each game, the Wolves carry a large roster - half of whom are players that can only make 1 or 2 games a season. They got a good turnout last week of those reserve players for one game (had 11 healthy players suited up not 12-14). 4 of their "consistent" 10-11 have suffered season-ending injuries, and another 2 can no longer play this Spring on weeknights due to other circumstances. That leaves 5 healthy players to show every week, with them depending on players who can only make 1 or 2 games a season to show for the rest of the season. Not gonna happen, they did the right thing by withdrawing from the league. I am in the process of trying to assign new opponents to their remaining 4 opponents so those teams get a 10th regular season game vs 14-0 F wins, but if I cannot arrange it - that`s what it will be.
