He had it down by the 'Advanced Hair Studio'. Pretty great effort considering his hairline was Vince van der Bijl like. Looks good!

On the flipside, they now have to feed Dan Cullen and Cullen Bailey who were previously grazing on CA's paddock.

I know that when he first went over, Elliott was appointed as an "Assistant Coach", which meant that he was being paid more than the supposed cap for a state contracted player (which is somewhere about $110,000, I read yesterday). So I guess that all it takes out of their fund is really just one player on the max amount, which will be taken up you'd assume by the Cullen's being put back onto state contracts. Then again, they don't have to pay Boof any more either.

im sorta happy of course - he is class
but unhappy in some ways...
1) Aaron Finch (i think hes an opener) and Blizz are guns... how are they gonna get a game in OD and FC now?
2) how will Rogers get to be captain? he said he wants to be a captain in the future
3) poor sacas... we needa spread talent around and now sacas wil have some **** openers
4) his international career is effectively over

Finch and Blizzard are probably what you'd call "manufactured openers", and I'd be surprised to see them opening in FC cricket. Obviously Blizz has been used in OD cricket, and maybe Finch would be.
To fit in rogers and victoria's long list of fast bowlers the vics will have to shed many of those openers like blizzard,klinger,quiney,finch,mash if not all of them.
BTW heaps of rumours doing the rounds can't keep up with all of them,expect many state moves this off season,the biggest we have seen.

Hussey out, Rogers in.
Losing Lewis, and possibly other bowlers, means that there'll be enough in the payments to cover everyone else. Rumours are still abound that we'll lose Klinger to SA, so we'll see what happens there.

Mash is also linked to SA, but Klinger was apparently their number two target after Rogers.

CA contract. Vic don't pay for Hussey anymore but now pay for Rogers.
At least that's what I think happens

Granted, Matt, he's somewhat injury prone (and arguably a sooky sooky la la) but there are not too many guys in Australia who average 50 in FC cricket with the bat, and who bowl at 135-140km/hour.

Ahh right, i thought he meant Hussey was switching states.

Harsh, especially coming from a Watto fanboy. It's a fair question when one asks what he's done to earn it last season and hardly worthy of calling the poster a troll. I don't think he neccessarily deserves to lose his contract but, on performance, he didn't exactly dominate and, considering he played 7 of 10 Pura Cup matches for QLD, injury can't be totally blamed, especially since he didn't bowl all that much.

He's a long term Watson troll. Valid question no doubt, but if you go back through his posts I'd be surprised to find one that wasn't trolling.

Had a quick look, lots of anti-Watson posts but I still say trolling is a bit much. Perhaps we have different definitions because, for mine, trolling against someone specifically is just spamming the board with "Watto suxx0rs!" or similar. Although anti-Watson largely (I did see at least one "The talent is there but...."-type posts), at least the posts are literate.

Spamming is spamming, trolling is consistently baiting for a reaction to start a ****storm.
