I am pretty sure J. Maki and S. Kulasekera were asked to play ODP after a few people had quit. They were in attendance at the last training session if i understood correctly.

In my opinion though ODP can sometimes come across as a very political program. Alot of players may not want to try out for fear that even though they are good enough somebody with more connections, or who had previously been on the team may come along and take their potential spot.
