rumour mills say the south island teams are the only ones who have recruited. Swarm still have polozov so will be similar to last season. Sounds like Admirals will be as well although they have picked up a few players.
Thunder have a full import roster. Saeed is back and they picked up Jerreau Hohaia, which is handy. New coach too in Janos Kaczala. They could challenge for a finals spot this year
Qtown took a big hit when head of statistics hurt his knee doing a triple axel and will not be ready for the start of the season. They have some returning imports in Sommer and Zizian. Should be strong as well as per usual.
Red Devils also are import laden. Kyle Papai is back as is Valery Kovev. New coach with the departure of Janos. A lot of local players have moved away but core is still there with Eaden, Harrop, Speck, Argyle etc. Should be a good team as well.
