Chappell Ticket Home?

I personally would like to see Chapell given another 2-3 games to see if he can get his fitness right as he is a hell of a player if he can get his fitness right and i think he would be a great asset to the team.
How ever if he cant and since the 36ers season may depend on having 2 high performing imports i think we should make the tough call after 2-3 games.
Who would people like to see as his replacement, if they have to go down this track??
I wouldnt mind seeing a guy like Brian Wethers, or Jayson Wells, they are both 2 high quality imports, and are of a similar mould to Chappell.
I think we need a versatile guy who can give us 15-20 points and play some very good defense, the Dave Thomas mould would be perfect.
guys like Chappell and Wethers are a little different to this mould but they add extra scoring and but not as good defense as say a Thomas, which i still think is ok,
anyway heres hoping Chappell has a couple of strong games and there is no need to replace him and the 36ers have a great season!

I can't for the life of me understand why Chappell travelled to Perth. He is not good enough at the moment to be useful and risks aggravation to his injury by travelling. I am not ready yet to say let him go because he is improving sightly each week but at the same time, let's not pretend that he is going to perform miracles overnight, so no reliance should be made on him now. I feel for him right now, and understand the frustration he must be going through but we cannot continue losing games for too long either and end up with another useless season like last season. The patience for his recovery is especially running thin at this point in time because this is supposed to be the revival season that sees the problems of last season dead and buried.

Look on the bright side - he can only get better with his shooting.

5 of 29 FG (17%)
1 of 10 3P (10%)

Plus he has a couple of tough opponents tonight in Redhage and Crawford (if he plays).

Well done iZacStein. Spell it out, I'm confused.

Dr Bullshit, that's not all that funny. At the moment Willie Farley would serve us much better than what we have. Farley with the right attitude is what the team needs, particularly with the rest of the group we now have.

Look, i would of loved to see the sixers sign a tough defensive type wing player with our second import spot, someone who could take the tough defensive assignments and be a game breaker in defence... but the club wanted this guy because he has the runs on the board as a proven scorer. Best case scenario, he gets fully fit, provides scoring and lifts our team all the way.... worst case, he's another jo-jo english... I still think a starting 5 of coops, ballinger, chaps, maher and brad could go great. Mottram is a key off the bench, so is ng who is some self belief away from tearing it up proper.
This week against the cats will be a huge test. A loss would not be the end of the world, but a win would be just fantastic. go sixers.
