Penney likely to be out for at least 3 more weeks

Should be interesting to see how he goes. Hopefully he provides some solid minutes for his own personal sake.

Deal done. Thankfully Breakers have made a decision, long overdue in my mind.
Not sure where Rillie is going to fit.

Defense and rebounding have been our problems for a while now and I don't see Rillie helping there. Storey could rebound at a reasonable rate for minutes played so we look quite puny now.
True Rillie could add some offence even if perimeter based, but it would have to be at the expense of Henare (CJ back to PG), Oscar or Abercrombie's minutes.
He is smart though, so we could see a little more feeding into the post.

The fact he knows the league will be an advantage.

Please, is this the same medical advice that said 1 month ago he would be right by now.
We face bigger issues now, replacing Penney is just one of them. (Blaze acted quickly and decisively we seem to have procrastinated!!)

Against Perth we were monstered on boards, yet our two best Rickert and Storey played 21-22 minutes each.
Abercrombie played 25 minutes, took 2 SHOTS.
Our game is perimeter based and teams focus on pressuring our shooters. We don't seem to have plan B.
Defensively we are being carved up by everyone.
We can't put all blame on Storey, brought here to rebound and defend, which he has done OK at, but probably hasn't been able to play for lengthy spells.
To my mind he was the wrong type of player to bring in initially (PF type prferable). This combined with a dodgy character reference and attitude hasn't helped, and the team has not played well around him.

Umm does Rillie = P Jones. Just putting it out there.

I think Pledger should be getting more love. Yeah he is young but both the Bear and the Butcher are in the sunset of their careers and Rillie will need the ball in his hands.

I love JR's game and think he should still be playing but he would provide more value to teams like Melbourne, Adelaide and dare I say it Cairns

I guess they probably are considering his absence...and with the way the league is right now, anyone can beat anyone on their night.
