Illawarra Hawks announce Brian Conklin signing

Bafflinge indeede.

It’s the new Eurostepe. Or Eurosteppe if you’re a fan of Eastern Euro literature.

The Concorde name was Francified with a final E for: England, entente cordiale and Excellent. (The Francified spelling led to a backlash in England, but their transport minister pacified the populace with that explanation).

Somehow I think Hawkes vs Hawks isn’t a big deal (or deals) in comparison.

Yes they spend 90% of the cap and the big boys spend 180%.

Illawarra are miles ahead of Cairns!

Taipans will finish last by a long way, their roster is terrible even compared to the Hawks who are the other "Budget" team.

On a budget, you have to roll the dice, and it looks like they've done that. Short a shooter though? And I would've thought ideally one of your guards could take the big three when required?

Djeric is playing second tier in Serbia, Steindl was not very impressive for cats this season, rose coloured glasses I think.

They would've been poached, though.

How did Crocs go when Conk and JJ were their imports?

They played about half a dozen games before Conklin's habit of elbowing people in the face got him sacked.

They beat Perth, in Perth, from a significant deficit at three-quarter time. They absolutely hammered Melbourne in Melbourne.

There was the massive comeback at home against Adelaide in front of a raucous crowd of 15 that year too, but that was after Conklin had departed and they brought in Omar Samhan.

That Crocs team was so much fun to watch. Shame they folded, as they had a lot of good young pieces: Norton, Kay, Djeric, Steindl, Froling...if they'd managed to keep that group together they'd be a damn good team right now.

I have to admit that had they gotten Rotnei instead of JJ and they get Landale then they'd be an incredibly difficult team to beat with 3 MVPs, AJ that can be anything at any one time, Andersen as our greatest winner ever and a few other pieces around them... there are championship teams that would struggle against that team but JJ feels like the weak link, but I'd gladly be proven wrong.

Quite excited to see Conklin back and especially around AJ and if that brings out some mongrel in AJ too

Is Jock Landale any chance?

Team him up again with Naar, back up Ogilvy which on last years form is 25mins per game, Anderson Backs up Conklin.

Ogilvy/Landale???
Conklin/Anderson
Blanch/Coneraad
Jett/White/Grida
Cedric/Naar

There's a big difference between Cooks and Ellis, both with position and quality.

It'll be Cooks if he wants it. Ellis' if Cooks scores an NBA or Euro deal.

There is some fun banter between the Hawks and Kings on Twitter at the moment related to this.

If rumor is correct ? A great appointment by Norwood on the girls side of the program. Another person assisting Rojo in bringing the skills and development back into our proud club. Well done Norwood and welcome Brendon !
