IMHO - The league stepped in by ensuring that the Dragons group finally got a license after years ( over 5 ) of McPeake's blocking a 2nd Vic license going to those with more money than himself, or ensuring it went elsewhere first.. The trouble is when it finally got to those with more money than him, they got a championship but did not have enough history to survive the Visy price fixing scandal, the death of the de-facto "godfather" of the visy dynasty , the "folding" of the NBL, and then the GFC.

Fizzle - I was under the impression that Nevill was on more money this year then Helliwell was, but I could be wrong there.

Beantown - It sounds like McPeake was always willing to release players to pursue better opportunities, and whether he plays a final game is still unknown as far as I know.

How would it feel being Helliwell at the moment, looks like the main reason he wasn't released is probably because the club got word that Nevill was moving on.

Any more news? Is Nev out as of right now, or is there a small chance he plays a farewell game this weekend? Over McPeake's dead body right?

Sounds like the ship is going down pretty fast.
Daniel Eade followed his first tweet with this regarding Luke Nevill.

@DanielEade: There is more to Luke Nevill's departure than him just accepting an offer to play in Russia.

Our learned fiend, xztatik, posted recently regarding his dislike of Dusty Rychart. Comparisons were made between Dusty and Nick Horvath, even though they play different positions, and Dusty gives ground in both height & weight. The game stats; Dusty. 21pts,13rebs,1ass,2stls,1blk,1t/o.
Nick. 22pts,11rebs,1ass,0stls,2blks,2t/os.
Both pretty impressive I reckon, and while I'd like to have both of them on my team, I'd pick Dusty first because I love his work ethic and his never say die attitude.

PS xztatic, I still want you to go away!!!
