Well, the first piece of news/speculation has hit the papers. News that could severely alter our strategies.

So, the major implication of this is- we simply wont know whos going to line-up for the Suns come round 2!

Not only that, but any Sun Rookies are going to be travelling a week behind as far as cash generation is concerned. Not bad if youve only got a couple of them- but if youre sitting on 6, it could set you back a week in your upgrades.

Hmm, one to keep in mind as we move closer to next season I guess.
