they don't need to pinch Breakers but then you named 2 of the Breakers development players Anon? Loe grew up in Auckland, I expect him to become a Breaker after College.

Wookie, none of the current Breakers Squad have strong ties to the Wellington Saints.

Cedric Jackson (MVP calibre Import)
CJ Bruton (an old Man who can shoot a 3)
Darryl Corletto (discarded Tigers bench player)
Thomas Abercrombie (NBL 1st Team and home grown talent)
Dillon Boucher (old role player)
Leon Henry (Crap according to most posters on here)
Mika Vukona (NBL role player)
BJ Anthony (has been described as a scrub on here)
Gary Wilkinson (NBL 2cnd team douchebag Import)
Alex Pledger (hardly rated by many on here compared to other players in his position).

yet back 2 back championships and none of these guys would make the Boomers who are apparently an "above average" International squad. Sydney and Melbourne have comparable populations to the whole of NZ yet neither of their teams seem to be overly stacked with local players nor is anyone wanting to dilute their squads.

whats the problem with the Breakers having a heap of NZ national team players in their squad? as mentioned before NZ are a below average team filled with guys who are NBL role players at best?

Well if the Blaze fold, in the short-term its not good for the image of the league, but in the long run 3 teams in Queensland outside of Brisbane was always too many.

If investors in Brissie and Melbourne can just get it together, that would take us back up to 10 teams again and I think it would be a nicely balanced league then.

The Blaze need a miracle and won't get it. They dont have the community ties to get a community ownership model up and running in 2 weeks - what investor will bail out and organisation that has already burnt $12million and still flat broke ?

If someone does stand up - hopefully its from Brisbane and the license gets transferred back to the Bullets.
