I don’t know any of the ins and outs of this, but hats off to the Eagles for doing the right thing even if it might save them a few quid if the season gets canned shortly. Good luck to all three players, by the way. Whether I rate them or not, there are more important things than even basketball. One query. I fully get that these guys don’t want to get marooned miles from home and family. But if you were a young skint guy without healthcare, wouldn’t you prefer to get Covid-19 in Newcastle with Our NHS rather than catching it back home in Trumpland? Until they're out of contract and homeless Family will be calling them back home I imagine. I'm doing the same with mine whilst they can still get home. |

I've got parents on holiday in Cyprus (that has just closed down) that I'm having to help fly back home tomorrow (they were supposed to be there for 3 weeks!) And I've got a daughter working a ski season in France (which has just closed down) ive got to get home asap now as well (France has just closed all non essential businesses - only food shops, pharmacies and petrol stations can stay open). All other shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, cinemas, nightclubs etc have to shutdown from midnight. That's probably coming our way in a few weeks as well. When the timing is right. Won't even be able to buy fish and chips as this rate! Time to buy some board games! Yet you haven't got time to talk about Treyvonn |

Yet you haven't got time to talk about Treyvonn I've got plenty of time but nothing I would want to say in a public forum about TrayVonn I imagine you also have lots of personal stuff about players and clubs you don't put in your blogs either |

Only Morsell will be missed. Schlitzer simply not good enough for the bench and Hussein not good enough to start. Hussein's inconsistancy was particularly infuriating. I noticed that the statement said they had been released and it seems to be by mutual consent. Class move maybe but three wages saved in an increasingly meaningless season (for Eagles, to be clear) could be the difference for club survival. I can see other clubs following suit if they can but wonder what the contract situation will be when the Government bans all? I think this season is done. Well put Mac, surprised Getty’s didn’t go as well looking at his twitter posts |

With self isolation this game may still not go ahead aAnd league probably stops next week anyway [br Amazed the queen of Scotland hasn’t stepped in yet with it being played In Glasgow |

What happened with Trayvonn? I missed this. Rob took a sh1te in his kettle. Getting pretty fed up of posters trying to make every thread about Riders *cough* Also not sure how what happened a year ago with TrayVonn has any relevance to the topics at hand. What I'm really interested to learn is how Bigz can purport to know how Riders would have handled a situation that is more or less unprecedented. If you're essentially going to accuse a club of not giving a **** about it's players, the community or the population as a whole I really think you need to be backing that up with something. I'm with IRF here. Seems wholly unfair. 'I know something I'm not telling you' is fine when you're talking about something fairly trivial, like basketball, but it doesn't really cut the mustard in this instance. |

I guess the whole sorry tale shows the greatest club in world basketball in a bad light, I'm happy to discuss every single player whose contract we've reneged on in our 16-year history. in fact as I'm bored I've written full details about it. Enjoy.

AJ Basi is going back from Worthing Thunder. Let's be honest though, the season is over. As soon as they stop sports like this, it'll be stopped for months so may as well call it a day and start again fresh next season. Better now that near the beginning of a season.
