I have heard today that Adelaide Lightening are looking to sign Caitlin Cunnigham, I do not believe this is a very good signing for the lightening as it is simply signing a second tier player who will not move the team up the ladder at all.
The Lightening better be hoping to get a bloody good import to sign with them if they are to be any type of contender.

Perhaps "Lightening" may be more appropriate as it looks very likely that they will be light on for talent next season.
So what your saying Ushiro is that Bhrenno needs to buy a few tanning beds, to slow/stop the lightening..?

Had a look at SA born players on last years WNBL rosters and if the Lightning did what Bulleen did last year and concentrated on mainly local talent, it is possible in theory to put up a quite competitive team. Bear in mind though some are older now and not at their prime
A front line of Cayla Francis and Abby Bishop with backup from Tracy Beatty and Cherie Smith. The guard/small forward group would include Kristen Veal, Tess Madgen, Mia Newley and Rachel Flanagan. Whilst not actually born in SA, Angela Marino has spent most of her life in SA so could be consider a local for the purpose of the exercise. Perhaps add Jo Hill to round out the 10 and it would be a reasonable team but light on in the 3 spot.
Now if Erin Phillips and Laura Summerton came home, it would make the hometown team even stronger.
Isn't the real problem that nobody seems to want to play for them ?

I think Cayla went to Logan. Didn't she.
While the Lightning falls into smithereens.

Why people do not understand ? Would it be your preference to play in a club owned by the father of an average player ?

she would be a waste of time.
more interested in being an emo.
we need 3 big imports - at least.
Former dropped bench wnbl players will hardly be our answer.

You might have the wrong Cunningham here. I think it's Caitlin's sister Tegan who is coming to Adelaide from the US
