Next import to be replaced?

Trist looks like he put twenty kilos, meads to improve quickly.

I have a question for everyone, yes there are split thoughts on Pineau and we all expect Benson to be replaced but does he stick around longer because a player such as Daniel Trist completely sucks and won't take court time off either of them or because of the inadequacies of Trist, do they replace Benson ASAP.

Sorry for the hate on Trist, I was eager to see him but he has gone backwards on his play last season and he got sacked last year!

Pineau was brave but can’t mark the Bogut, Hodgson or any of the more athletic bigs, will be found out. Benson was terrible. Long is overrated because he can throw down spectacular dunks, that don’t win you championships.

Benson definitely looks shaky out there like he's real nervous or hasn't got anything in his legs.

Even though he played well in the early pre-season games he was poor at the Blitz and looked all at sea tonight SEM should really start thinking about a replacement.

If Dane Pineau is start before you...you should really be checking Expedia tonight for outbound flights.

Benson is such a poor finisher.

Looks like both, Pineau has improved and Benson is a dud. SEM need a five man.

If Pineau is starting ahead of Benson, it’s either Pineau has had a growth spurt and talent revival at the five or Benson is a dud and will be gone.

We'll never know though if they were replaced that we would have gotten someone better, I'm sure if it was on the cards they would've looked, but if noone good enough was available you're better off rolling with what you know.

Looking forward to seeing Robo-Terrico back in action.

Keith Benson seems the obvious name here.

We don't have a history of switching our big men mid season and no guarantee if we replace him we'd be getting someone better.

No one calling Terrico White's number I see. Hmmmmmmmm

I think Hunt is safe to be honest, they seem to like the guy enough to change their style to more of a small ball game, doesn't seem to have any attitude problems, and loves to pass the ball. As long as he does his job on the defensive end and doesn't turn the ball over too much I think he's safe. We don't have a history of switching our big men mid season and no guarantee if we replace him we'd be getting someone better.

I would have thought Brisbane would be comfortable at this point with Vukona, Te Rangi and Patterson sharing minutes at PF. They were at their best last season with those guys spending minutes there, so unless they can't defend bigs at all you'd think Braun's job will depend on his ability to score from the wing.

Randle, once reality hits?

Melbourne aren’t going to pay Prather for two seasons if he can’t play.

Griffin

Moore plz

Prather if knee problems persist.
