"Problem with cairns is they spend all there money on imports"

No, no they don't.
It might well change under Kelly, but typically Cairns go trawling for bargain imports, once everyone else is finished. They generally do very well targetting guys looking to make a name for themselves overseas. Its no surprise that when they strike gold, those players are quickly poached. Guys like Wilbekin, Craig, Trice, and now Trimble have all moved on to bigger & better opportunities.

It's a fair deal. They still get more money than the G-League, they get to show their stuff and if things go well they'll get much better offers. Meanwhile Cairns get the services of a decent import for a season or two.

It's a lot easier to find diamonds in the rough with imports, due to the sheer volume of guys available.

Perth won with two just last season, there Australian contingent were significant, I’m certain Cairns would like to take them from Perth. Cairns got the players Perth didn’t want.

If the imports do well Cairns do well, if not they suck.

Wouldn't this apply to every team? When was the last time a team won with awful imports?

Problem with cairns is they spend all there money on imports, that leaves the rest of the locals not that flash. If the imports do well Cairns do well, if not they suck.

Looks good. If they acan close Machado and bring back Newbill they'll be very competitive.
