Bad news for the Razorbacks: Damian Martin will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn cruciate ligament on Saturday against the Gold Coast. Such a shame for a team that has been doing such a good job of turning things around.

Agree that it's a real shame. I think this year was more about rebuilding the roster and fan faith in the team than anything so I think, in that regard, they've already "won" to some extent.
Have yet to see them play, but from what I've read, Martin epitomised their game - just going at 110%, playing defense, creating a unit that's better than just the sum of its parts.
In a season largely devoid of big surprises (Bullets dropping a few games is about as surprising as its been otherwise), the Pigs' resurgence is one of the season's top stories.

No disrespect to Martin but the pigs are a better team with Troy DeVries at SG anyway, he's averaging 18ppg already playing only half of games, he should have a good second half of the year.

Enabled them to play more intense defense from what I've read of their games. I still think it could hurt them a bit.
