Hunter Pirates
four players from the defunct Hunter Pirates have been offered a lifeline should the licence be transferred to a Singapore consortium. Brad and Larry Davidson, Russell Hinder and Ben Melmeth have been targeted by the new owners, who are expected to take over the Pirates' licence on March 10.
The four have been given permission to negotiate with the Singapore group.
While the Pirates have all but disappeared, the future of the Wollongong Hawks looks safe after seven shareholders pledged up to $2million in funding.
