Spirit seemingly putting the foot on the throat early should be a cracker against Townsville.

3-0 with Griffin & Wehrung still to be added is a rather nice start to a season.
And yes that Fire game is shaping to be a goodun.

4-0 with KG yet to feature, Wehrung has played just the first game and Hannan has now missed two as well.
With KG out, Samuels has stepped up big time, her averages for ppg and rpg are more than double last year at 17.8 and 5.8.
And to think one quite voluminous commenter questioned why the Spirit even bothered to sign her at all.

Some commenters don't even want the Spirit in the league for some reason

(and yes, 4-0 sorry, not 3-0. WNBL.com.au strikes again!)

I don't think that TSV are going to let Whitcombe and especially Samuels stand on the 3 point line and rain threes on them . Samuels will need to play defence and she is foul prone . Should be a good game , Townsville have been promoting this game for a while.

Cracking game tonight with Caps unlucky in the end.

Amihere looked great and Collier couldn't buy a call from the refs.

Nice to see Nards with 20 points and looking more and more aggressive each game.

Got away with one today. Pretty average by the Lynx for most of the game, but managed to be the steadier team in the 4th, including some critical O-boards.
