Taipans second import - Shane Edwards?

On a recent trip to the taipans office to confirm tickets etc, the office staff were asked how Boti knew ahead of time. They were a bit cagey about it and said 'the coach(Fearne) won't be happy' LOL

Shane Edwards was confirmed today in The Cairns Post as the player turning up on the 30th.

In unrelated news, Aaron Grabau snapped a tendon on his left hand ring finger during an freak accident. Should be back scrimmaging in 4 weeks but limited in what preseason training he can do.

All signs mentioned a big banger, but Shane can rebound like Ellis for the crocs - undersized but enjoys the contact around the rim. Good finisher at the rim with contact with a handy 60% FG%. He has been on the radar for the last 2 years and Fearne says he will compliment the 3 big rotation and give more options than crossie/loughton.

Expect Alex to go play more C than PF (like he did at Perth before he went to Europe) - It looks like a mobile front court with Shane as the explosive athletic counter-punch to inside with trig and outside with Alex. Dusty does what Dusty is best at - cleaning up the boards.

Kept pretty quiet.. But will likely come off the bench backing up Trig and Alex. Could play some 3 as well.

Not good news on Davidson according to NBL.com. "Adelaide guard Brad Davidson may miss up to three weeks after sustaining a torn abdominal muscle in the 36ers four-point loss to the Wildcats in Perth on Wednesday. The absence of Davidson leaves a sizeable gap in the Sixers' backcourt stocks, with a series of away games coming up against New Zealand, Townsville and Sydney. "Brad didn't play much for us in the second half," 36ers coach Phil Smyth said. "He'll be out for two to three weeks ... he's likely to miss the next four or five games, so it's not good for us." Davidson, 33, originally sustained a slight tear in the muscle about two weeks earlier but kept playing. However, the injury worsened on Wednesday." Hope its a quick recovery.. We need him bad also mite explain our second half against Perth..
