@qsek: I think he is injured, but I might be wrong on that. They changed their coach a couple of days ago and the old coach resigned will now be working with juniors.

@qsek: Berruto called out himself.... Kovar is healty, but onestly who need him? he's a techical player, but his mind is lack, at age of 26 he still prefer to stay in Lube to (try to) win something instead of playing somwhere else

@Kjeldhor: yeah but why not win with Lube and NT as well. There has to be another reason.

@Wilfredo_is_Marshall: at age of 26 he still didn't play in a starting six, that's not good, imho it's not a champion mind and i'm happy Blengini didn't called him
