lightning recruiting 08/09

Who will the lightning keep for the 2008/09 season? Finals are just beggining and most teams are looking for signatures? who will stay and who will go?

Whittle- retiring
woosnam- retiring
Phillips- ?
Foley- ?
camino- overseas?
Gahan- back to america?
Marino- stay
King- Gold coast?
Duke- Perth maybe?
mahony- ?
Fryters- ?

looks like some new faces may need to be on the radar!

It wont matter. Adelaide has the biggest budget in the league and with all the fresh talent coming out of the AIS including several SA natives, the Lightening will have no trouble recruiting a new and better team.

Whittle- might squeeze another season now (sunday mail reports this)
woosnam- retiring
Phillips- europe post wnba
Foley- europe post wnba
camino- reckon she will score a europe as well
Gahan- likes it here - maybe we could get her back
Marino- stay
King- Gold coast -Logan ? lives here now though
Duke- no idea
mahony- no idea
Fryters- no idea

watch -

francis
newley
believe martin going elsewhere

summerton?
screen?
doc smith?

this is why we must support the girls so much this year - i reckon we will struggle to get such an international combo together again next season.

graff will be going 100% at recruiting as well - and will get who she wants - especially if she gets the opals gig

Geez-uz!!
Graf in the Opals gig!!??
Give me a break.

A great insight during time out in the Canberra Vs Adelaide game. Graf is all Xs and Os and Valk is a total contrast - "We know we can score - let's go play some defence"

DB - I heard her on the radio this morning that she is contemplating it and if they win the title it will make her decision much easier.

Cheers Bizz..

Don't Do it Sammy, you still have another year at least!!!!

Lightning could definately do with the veteran leadership still next year..
