Head Coach Grant Wallace has assembled a new look line up for the 2010 SEABL Season. After being defeated by Knox in last year’s Preliminary Final, the Club made the decision that it was time to begin the process of rebuilding with youth.
With many quality young players coming through the D League program, Wallace has promoted Tim Mulhall, David Moore and Glenn Potts and recruited former Cobra James Denton from Sherbrooke.
To compliment these young locals Wallace re-signed Tim Lang as well as two of his Melbourne Tigers team mates Matt O’Hea and Ryan Bathie.
Imports Quincy Henderson and Fernandez Lockett will give Wallace his scoring power and excite the crowds while DJ Taylor, who plays his 400th SEABL game on 1 May 2010, and Byran Colson will provide the experience.
