Was someone trying to leak and accidentally used the wrong account? That is weird.

I suspect it was tongue in cheek. Trying to poke fun at Olgun and others.
At least you would hope that Cairns are not over paying him. Good luck to team and him. Imo he's an upgrade on Krislovic.

Haha, if that's true, I have to commend their social media manager.

I hope that's the case - the more ribbing of Olgun the better.

So, since he has gone to the poorest team in the league, does this indicate he wasn't chasing big money as people claimed?
or just wanted away from ch and no one else wanted him
The poorest team in the league? Did he sign with Brisbane?
Krslovic came up through the Marlins, worked his ass off and played his way onto the team.
Pinder is an entitled little bit*h with sh*t hair and an attitude problem.
Hope he was cheap.

Didn't see all his games by any stretch, but he didn't seem to play like he was entitled here. And he had more game time than many thought he deserved, so not sure why he'd have a particular grievance with Henry. Maybe just an offer there but not here.
Another racist comment about a black player why is he these names.
Krislovic might have worked his arse off, doesn't mean he’s better than Pinder, and yes he went to the marlins after college but he’s a nsw boy..

So you say he's entitled because supposedly he asked for too much money, but then you sign off "hope he was cheap". You're contradicting yourself in the same post man. Also Pinder's hair is iconic.
His hair is different. I'd hardly call it iconic

I think Pinder will do well in Cairns. He has some stuff to work on, but he has a lot of tools.
Hopefully the fans up there are less toxic too

I met Keanu before at a home game and he was one of the nicest players I have met. I'm not sure why you would make assumptions like that.

Haven't heard anything negative about Pinder off the court, so I find the venomous hate he seems to get a bit strange. Definitely didn't like what I saw on the court for the most part, but he also showed some flashes late in the season. Good signing for Cairns I think, these are the types of moves/gambles they have to make to fill out their local rotation.
Kenny resigned, Cairns looking like spooners again.
Apart from Pinder they have signed pretty much the same trash from last season that sucked.

Never met him, butt from everything I've heard, he's a good kid, who's done well despite the hurdles.
You cannot imagine the shit he had to put up with growing up in Perth.
For most sons of great players, there are the pro's and cons of fame and expectations. Keanu got all the cons and none of the pro's.
By the time he was born, his Dad was already a convicted paedophile, and growing up his dad was convicted again, and charged multiple times.
He was part of the Wildcats development squad as a teenager, but with the sqeaky-clean image developed under Bendat & Marvin, there has always been reticence about signing another Pinder.
