Wollongong @ Cairns 23/11
Embarrasing result for Cairns....ABL stuff all round. The gap between community and private is about to widen as depth of rosters becomes relevant.
Glad I saved the petrol money on that one,had a feeling it was going to be ugly.

Thanks Anon, I hear what Nat is saying but either way, the players knew at the time there was 0.6 sec left. More to the point, the game should never have been that close.

No way the basket should have counted. There was 0.6 on the clock, Hawks inbounded, dribbled had it stolen, then Gliddon shot it. That can't all happen in 0.6 seconds. Either way, the game should never have been that close, Taipans should have won by 15.

Good win however a couple of things went against the Snakes.
1. Continuation. I'm all for it and believe that was valid however that's the first time this season they've allowed it. Consistency!
2. On the last play when the Taipans knocked it out of bounds, the clock kept running for a solid .06 to .8 of a second. Hawks passed it in, Gliddon stole the ball and hit the 3. He missed out by .1 or .2 of a second. This means that Gliddon's shot should have counted.

Cairns way too big in the paint, way too strong around the perimeter, yet still found a way to lose. Time for a new coach. A team with that much playing talent shouldn't be at the bottom of the ladder. As soon as someone made a good play Fearne would sub them off.
