Taipans Imports

hahaha oh what could of been!

I think there is still a petition kicking around from 2011 to bring him back!

ahhhh yeah i forgot about that - retired mid season with a leg injury.

Alright, take him off the list.

Dewey Michaels? He still active?

The_Champ33 - how old is Abney now? he'd be on the sunny side of about 57?

Mind you even at 57 he'd probably run rings about some in the NBL.

wooooooow SS did you get out of the wrong side of the bed mate? Relax, It was a joke......
I've heard the Ron rumors as well, but I've heard them for the past 2 seasons since he left.


The 2 wings idea makes sense to me. I think Glid, Bruce, Maynard can handle the majority of the primary ball work. Anything extra is a bonus. I'm with Jonno in thinking i don't think there is a lot of room for another PG.

Will be an interesting couple of weeks to see what happens.

That was me above sorry.

According to twitter they've signed Torrey Craig from South Carolina Upstate.

saying that though, Ron is one of the fittest humans i know. Potentially he's still in his prime and could be an asset in the right team. Lock down defender, solid 3% and get get above the rim.

hahaha SS i doubt the CRC have any idea who the imports are - esp 3 months ago!

They can't even get the m2 right on my rates notice!



Wookiee Edwards played with the Cavs summer league and was on their extended roster for some of last years season.

Wasn't Shane Edwards playing over there in this years Summer League with someone?

I hope....... the wait is killing me.......... at least we haven't heard any Dunigan or Homicide rumours yet this year....

Not long now:)

Stay tuned.

So now we turn our attention to our two vacant import spots.

My priority will be ensuring we get a lot more athletic than we were last year, and we have to find a couple of guys who can also really defend.

At this stage we’ll be looking for a long, athletic three-man who can move his feet and play with some length and quickness.

We’ll also be looking at a point guard, who also needs to be really solid on the defensive end.

It will take a lot of research to get our imports right. There isn’t a set timeline. It could happen before we head over to the US in July to recruit, or it might be a month after I get back from Vegas. If you find someone you really like a decision may need to come sooner rather than later.

There’s no exact science with it though, so we’ll keep watching video, talking to our contacts and gathering as much information as possible.

We’ve been pretty good with our imports recently though, so hopefully we can find those final pieces to get us back into the playoffs again.

I hope everyone’s looking having a relaxing NBL off-season. A huge thanks to those who’ve already signed up as members, and we can’t wait to get back on-court for some pre-season games and of course on 17 October for our first regular season home game.
