Have we re-signed Marc Levers yet? or a backup Nettie? The Panthers OS story focuses on import signings, but have I missed something?
Also, what is the point of signing nasty D-Men, they'll only get penalties for breathing heavy a bit like Lepine did in his first year. Strong - yes, nasty - what's the point with the referees we have at the moment?

Strong - yes, nasty - what's the point with the referees we have at the moment? no signing news on Levers or a back up yet... and Nasty D men don't have to play many minutes of a game before they don't need to be so nasty and take penalties any more as the intimidation factor works more than the actual penalty. large D men who Hit hard every time ... you watch how fast the opponents Forwards shift that puck from the boards and they will be less likely to Dump and chase... as they know they are going to get hurt... plus they won't go near our crease if they know they'll get man handled if they do. Good Nasty D men know the rules and should work within them, they are very different from just simply being thugs

Would love to see Lepine back as our main tough guy, but can we have upgrades on Wilson and Meyers, please!

We seem to have made a habit in the CN era of signing the whole roster early. While that approach has delivered the 'double double' it hasn't delivered the holy grail of the league title. Maybe this is a change of plan - not revealing his hand to early, taking his time to see what's out there, see who the likes of Giants/Steelers are signing etc. Not saying this is right or wrong or whether this approach will pay off. Who knows? Only time will tell.

As said by Corey earlier a main chunk of last years players have been asked back, maybe he's waiting to see who's going to accept or maybe they have already agreed terms so there's no need to rush out any statements. I still think Franny will be back, wouldn't have thought he would do the whole Derby Uni advertisement unless he was coming back. Not sure about Foxy tho' as his wife has just secured a job at home.

I believe Franny was doing a Masters at Derby which are normally 1 year courses.

To be fair, a huge amount of the better players available are still playing in their relative play-offs. Not everyone rushes through theirs as a side-thought like we do.
I'm fine with us taking our time.

ST deadline is 22nd June. I'd wager we get a big announcement or two leading up to that...

i think we'll announce pretty much the whole team before the season ticket deadline so there is a late surge of people wanting to buy. and as for their being no news i tweeted corey about potential signing but he didnt get back to me lol.

If that's true, he's gone up in my estimation.

Anybody know what the delay is with getting Levers signed up? Should hate to lose him.

if that is so, confirmation would be nice though, as has been done with the other brits.
