On that note, I'm curious when the team photographer took these photos, if she's not here, and she's been in France for the last week or so.

Breaking: The photos were taken an hour ago. So I'm guessing she's actually in Portland.

That's great. She's likely already practicing, just needs clearance before she can be rostered for games.

Yeah she was at practice and even participated a bit.

Looks to be be observing and learning the system.

If they could get the visa approved and have her play minutes, will be a huge boost.

At least by Wednesday for the CC game! Def gonna need some fresh legs on the wings over the next 8 days.

How does the rest of the team look? Are all the Nats who've returned fresh, or will there likely be a lot of rotation tomm? I know Natu and Rocky both played a ton of minutes in Europe....kinda worried bc we don't really have a valid backup R fullback and we're facing two pacey skilled wingers.

That is a fair question. It is a non descript background. The home jersey could have been sent anywhere I suppose.

Yes, definitely, but the photo credit says Craig Mitchelldyer, who is the primary photographer for PTFC and was with the Whitecaps last weekend.

Just observing that this deal has probably been close to final for awhile.
