QBL: Marlins title run vs Taipans preseason?

both the exhibition games were at about half the pace of a training session. I don't think they would have lost much juice.

Wouldn't say the Taipans were trying to win either game, 3/4 of the salary cap wasn't playing and those that did racked up 25 minutes at most. Given that the Marlins' coach is the top assistant, I don't think anyone would have played more than they thought sustainable.

When you're effectively the feeder team for a national club, sometimes you get the soggy end of the cigar. Happens to the Pride, happened to the Heat when the Crocs were playing etc etc. I didn't see any fatigue on the Marlins during that semi either, plus Townsville are well coached team with a great roster.

Two games in two nights where the first is an exhibition the second a semi is selfish on Fearne's part. Cairns seem to be the only NBL team worried about losing these games - the rest had glorified invitational sides.

I read that article also CT. I agree with you that Gerrans glosses over a few salient points however (as you mentioned) I think he made a fair point about the amount of games some of the Marlins players had to play leading into the semi final against Townsville last weekend. I think Heuir ended up playing for the Taipans last Friday night because Scoochie was unavailable however I'm not sure why Weigh suited up as well.

You make good points about Weigh's and Kuany Kuany's inclusions into the Marlin's team midlate season. Loughton was only filling in for Weigh anyway - Weigh was signed at the beginning of the QBL season (along with Weeks) to be one of the Marlins restricted players and I think once he was fit he was always going to come back in.

Told by strong sources Harris is heading back to Adelaide given his strong SEABL numbers. Good or Bad signing guys?
