Being revealed exclusively on 7News Local - Baynes will play for the QBL Marlins in the lead up to the Olympic camp, word is that yes it is a young star as a few have said. Find out in 1hr 10min I guess

@ISAAC - not 100% sure. The trigger signing was the worst kept secret but this next announcement is defcon 3 type lockout LOL Person who I know knows is like an over filled balloon ready to burst but wont let it out.

Is the hype worth the wait ? Should be given it has near equal buzz to trigger signing. Should know soon.

Panther32 - It was Dowdell who was said to be considering retirement.

Skull - A newspaper article said Baynes is training with members of the Taipans squad to keep himself in shape for the upcoming Boomers camp. He is a local, so is probably back home for a break after the end of his European season.

I can’t see how Baynes can fit into the picture as the Taipans have said they are confident of retaining Loughton and Hill, which means there is only an import SG to get plus a back up big (on minimal money) and a back up PG (probably Kerry Williams).

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that Loughton was considering retirement? I'm sure I read that somewhere. If he did, then the Baynes/Tregardh signings would be justified.

Crossie always intended to move back to Sydney as his kids got close to school age and needed to stay in one place near his farm (retirement plan)

He would have moved last season if he got a good offer but stayed an extra year. He signed with kings weeks ago with the blessing of the club.

Given the signings so far and the buzz around the club regarding another big signing, dont think the club is too concerned about losing him with what's soon to be announced.....

So if Tragardh is supposed to be replacing Crosswhite, why is Loughton's name on the FA list and not Crossy's? The plot thickens...last I heard Loughton had another year to run on his deal?

Fearne could get Stoudemire to play D, that aint a worry. Trig gets a bad wrap on D, he dont love it but lets not forget he was playing out of position for most of last season.
