BURGESS TO PLAY IN EUROPE
The Cairns Taipans have announced today that Centre Chris Burgess will not be returning for the Cairns Taipans for the upcoming 2006/2007 NBL season. Burgess has notified the club that he has received a couple of solid offers from European Clubs and has decided to pursue his playing career in Europe.
While disappointed that Burgess will not be lining up for the club, head coach Alan Black said the Taipans were planning behind the scenes in the event that Burgess may not be returning and have a number of options available.
