They should have dumped Ere for Kendall and Kept Grizzard.

Kendall
Thomas
Barlow
Grizzard
Anstey

That lineup would put Barlow back in the 3 spot where he belongs.

Must say I was surprised Ebe wasnt the one cut, it's a position they have pretty well covered and even more so now with DT coming in.

Apologies for consecutive posts.
Imagine if the Dragons had yet to sign their 2nd import and now picked up Grizzard, he would be a great fit for them!

Maybe they can cut Donte ;-) Just to add a bit more flair to it all.

Grizzard didnt fit into the Tigers offensive structure, even though he scored well and has some great talent they didnt utilise his strengths at all! Bringing in DT will make them weak going to the bench, not that Grizzard played much inside anyway. Pressumng Westover was pretty happy with the way Daniel Johnson has been playing and he will see some more minutes.

1 Kendall/Croswell
2 DC
2/3 Ebe/Barlow/DT
4 Hoare
5 Anstey/Johnson

That 4 spot is pretty weak, considering they played Hoare (one of the most efficient players in the league) for only 28 minutes against the Sixers when he was actually playing well!

Be interesting to see how they go now, they have a bit of time until their next game Jan 11 vs Wildcats. That series is tied at 1 a piece and could well come into play at season's end for ladder positions.

Sammy Mack out Kendal in.
Grizzard out DT in.

Not ALL players have no cut clauses like Tyndale somehow managed?! But even if they do once they are cut their pay would no longer count towards the cap.
Why all the harping on the Tigers and the cap, it was done enough pre-season now they are in my mind downgrading their roster and were still digging into them. Let's enjoy the season.

DT for Grizz article: http://linky.com.au/m1gvv

So whilst I can find evidence to support the DT for Grizzard move, where is the evidence of Kendall joing the fray?

Can someone please explain to me how this works and how it all fits under the salary cap. Firstly Grizzard would have to be paid out for the season as his performance did not breach his contract. Secondly, by paying out a player does that not still count towards the salary cap? If so, what money is left to pay a replacement player? I can only think that Thomas was paid out by Cairns and can now play for nothing for the Tigers, however with Cairns' financial problems, how could they pay out a contract and then leave themselves undermanned by not using this player? I am confused. Surely this would go against the principal of the salary cap. If not, clubs with the money to burn would have an advantage as though the salary cap did not exist. Sydney Kings under Goorjian were notorious for doing this and look where they are now. Is this type of move going to see a gradual demise of our league?
