- Jerrssis Wadia will be re-signed on a two-year deal
- Alex Ross and Harry Nielsen to not be offered a contract for BBL|16
- Chris Lynn no guarantee to return
- Nic Maddinson is on the Strikers radar as a potential signing

Clearly going after the massive fish then

Don't be so sarcastic, Maddison scored 128 runs @ 32 and Wadia scored 52 runs @ almost 9, took two wickets at 45 as well.

I don't mind Wadia, think there is some upside.

Forgot Ross was on the list - what happened there? He was our leading run scorer last season.. i'd like to see him stay.

Nielson + Lynn can move on.

Wadia is young, that is his upside.

I'd probably ask Harvey, Boyce, Overton, Straker and Wood to follow Nielson and Lynn. Just go down to the local nets to pick some recruits up and save us some cash. We really were terrible.

Working through the squad, the 'must-keep' players are few and far between.

Why no love for Thornton? I thought he was pretty good when he came on the scene?

Also, would've like to see more of Kelly.

I wouldn't be against picking local unsigned grade talent and exposing them - even if it came at the price of winning - at least we would be growing / developing our own.. and who knows might unearth a couple of T20 stars.

Remember when the Big Bash was the first time we saw young blokes coming onto the national scene and the international stars were actually stars not just mercenaries and it wasn't just old blokes bumping up their super?

The BBL has turned into the exact same as the A-League. Soulless franchises with players whose careers are exactly what you mentioned.

I'm surprised the A League still is.

Bit harsh on the A-League there I reckon.
