Agreed will be a huge loss for the Hawks and they lost Gary Ervin the season after he was league MVP too I think for a payday in Ukraine.

Good luck to Clarke in Belgium though.

Agreed, should be a good signing for Melbourne without being a world beater. I think he's most recently been playing in Poland.

Forgot to mention last week Townsville also finally announced they had signed Clint Steindl to a 1-year deal.

I'm not sure but there seems to be some talk around of Daniel Kickert coming back from overseas?

Yeah supposedly they've decided not to re-sign Balls.

The 36ers have signed Peter Crawford from the Townsville Crocs to a 1 year deal.

It had been rumoured for a while but still not sure what to make of this signing. PC was good enough to make the Boomers team at the 2012 Olympics but he seems to have declined a fair bit since then due to age & injuries.

In those two years he's gone from 14.8ppg, 3.2rpg, 43.5% FG, 40% 3pt in 2012 to 6.9ppg, 2.3rpg, 36% FG, 31.3% 3pt last season.
