The Damon Heuir hype juggernaut starts here...

Heuir has little chance if he stays with Cairns, as they signed Agent 47 to play ahead of him. If he wants a breakout season, unfortunately it will be through either injury of someone else, or moving teams should the opportunity arise. That will be unlikely next year as the level of players coming through college (seniors) is crazy. At least 8 or 9 solid players.

I rate his game bigly, and I'm hoping if he stays with us next year he gets a consistent spot in the rotation.

hahaha classic CT, classic.

He's still young and developing his game, it's a shame he's in the league at a time where the roster spots have contracted and it's dominated by guards. We could have used him back when Tait was our 2nd unit PG (and or the ghost of Phil Jones)!

And his hair. Oh boy.

It's like Michael Bolton and Aslan had a baby:

My 2 cents: He still has a few brain farts and gets punished for it. Not punished hard, because it's the Qbl, but I suspect Fearne would like to see him play a bit smarter. He also does a good job of penetrating to the basket in the qbl but again, much more difficult in the Nbl and also not something that Fearne teams typically do. He needs to initiate plays more and possibly be a bit more patient.

Shame really, what I really like about his game (and jarryd Weeks too for matter) is when he sticks the afterburners on, dances round a bench-warmer and makes a tricky reverse layup before crashing into the wall taking a couple of defensive players with him. Boy, do I support the wrong teams..

He has magnificent hair.

His hair cannot be overhyped.

What's the issue here with Fearne and Damon?

Why is Weeks and Bruce (Last season) getting more minutes,
What is his big stand out weakness that worries Fearne?

Highly underrated defender as well. Definitely deserves a NBL spot.
