As rumoured by Boti and then mentioned on Hoops last week. Good work by Boti on that one.

Bench mostly but could start if needed.

Surely, he would start over Steindl wouldn't he.
A lineup like this:

Trigger/?
Loughton/Rychart/Andronicos
Edwards/Steindl
Hill/Grabau/Gliddon
Wilson/Williams/Bruce

He will only start in Loughton isn't 100%. He's still not there yet. But as soon as he is 100% Edwards will be used as a 6th/7th man role.

MACDUB, Steindl will definitely be in the starting lineup.

1. Jamar
2. Steindl
3. Hill
4. Loughton/Edwards (depending on fitness/matchups)
5. Tragardh.

I'll tell you now that the guys in the 3 spot are going to be squeezed out!

They may give Hill 3 or 4 mins at the start and then it's Edwards,Alex & Trigger all the way, with Dusty subbing in when either of them have a rest.Gliddon,Hill & Grabau are going to be fighting for game time.

The 2nd import needed to be a 2 or a 5 but Mr Fearne thought otherwise, obviously.

Fearne more than likely ran out of money for an IMPACT 2 or 5 player.
when you have limited funds you have to take a short cut somewhere,no matter.....if you think otherwise.

They definitely didn't need a guard, Edwards sounds like a perfect fit. It's not a big league, so an undersized guy is no issue at all. As long as he's strong and goes after it, perfect signing. It's a small league so you want mobile big guys. As long as Edwards can put consistent pressure on the glass and chip in with a few buckets, great signing. They will finish in the top 2 health pending.
