The import we had lined up got injured playing for his current team, if it's just a knock they might still pursue it, if it's long term then the search continues.
Another import we had line up went to a better paying league.
Pretty funny regards the Casey situation where according to the FFP, he described it as a lower body injury as he wasn't wanting to highlight exactly where the problem was as other teams might try to re-injure it.....Then later on in the interview he says his ankle went. So he kinda highlighted the fact anyway lol.
Casey did say he wanted to play last weekend but the Physio told him not to, it wasn't Dutes at all that gave that advice.

It says "The coaches listened to what Barry the physio had to say and said absolutely not"
The way i read that is the physio advised against Casey playing but it was the coaching staff that had the final decision. My mistake.

Maybe the Casey situation is being strung along in an effort to prevent him being snapped up by one of the bigger teams or a better paying league. Not doubting he's injured but in terms of expected return date, its being kept a secret.
Just a thought.

I think the signing news put in the paper is 2 weeks behind reality.

The main problem is that if we were serious about qualifying fror the play-offs we should have pursued a signing(s) about 10 or 11 games ago, when it was obvious that Casey would be out for some time. We were sitting immediately above the Flyers' bench at Freezerville when Casy came off the ice injured. He was shaking and it was obvious that he had a bad injury. By this time we could have had Casey coming back to join a squad which had been boosted by another import, who had been bedded-in for at least 5 or 6 games. This has to have been a wasted opportunity. That's not being negative, just realistic. We have a fine bunch of skilfull players who could have been in an even better position to finish around 6th or 7th place and not be scrambling to finish 8th or 9th?

i spoke to a family member of one player this week , who says they are desperatly trying to get another forward, but there is slim pickings available for what they want, poorer players arent a problem. the story about signing one that backed out and another that got injured is true,he also told me one of the guys is playing with a fractured foot picked up at nottingham. i wont name him as they want that kept quiet

Anyone who watched the Edinburgh game should know who's playing with a broken foot by watching him on the bench. Noones asking for a Haines replacement but there's got to be players out there who are decent, better than our Brits and can add something to the team. This going for the right guy is gonna backfire and they'll end up shirt benched all season and finish 8th at very best!
