lightning v spirit - spoiler
Cappucino - Have to Agree Payne well & truly showed the WNBL that her game had arrived especially towards the end of season and in the final game, Lucas should never have taken her off the court. I wonder if he listened to the game day tape. Lucas v Buckle - Payne obviously likes the way Buckle coaches or she wouldnt have gone to Adelaide. I hope she has another great year.
Go Lightning.

Anonymous - Payne left Townsville because she wasnt getting the quality coaching ,and would never have improved under Lucas. Payne has stated she is more than happy to learn from Susy & Laura and get the experience. She is still only young and I wouldnt say she has finished her apprenticeship quite yet. As for Coach Buckle - Payne has been coached by him before and knows what he is like , she obviously respects him or she would have decided to go to another team. By the stats he play a young Talbot in the starting 5 so I guess he does give the young ones a go.It was only the first game of the season lets just wait for a few more games. Go Lightning Good on Coach Wright but Dandenong did have Ohea missing and I am sure she & Blicavs play the same position. although Blicavs is very tallented she could play in another. Its great to see all these younger ones coming through .

I think because Hodges was doing a good job and so was Suzi , I think Payne is there to learn from these girls , great experience for her as she could have gone else where and got more court time but would not have got the coaching or the experience.
