Agree with all of that Damo, appreciate your feedback. However, having a player worth going to watch and to make the team in the biggest market in the country a chance to be successful again, can help make up for some of those other problems just by simply giving people a reason to watch. A lot more needs to be done to make the league successful though, agreed. Thriving in Perth, strong in Auckland and work needed everywhere else.

I think their Australian talent is solid and Martin, Demos, Coenraad, Forman, Davidson and Nevill/Gruber could form a solid team IF they have two outstanding AND different imports. I stand by having two players virtually the same as your imports was a disastrous move. They need an import swingman and they could win games. Agree with you about where the blame lies, Ryan
