Burgess to Europe, Cairns consider Roberts?

MEDIA RELEASE
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.
Meanwhile, apparently Rolan Roberts has been spotted in Cairns. Mee is due to become naturalised during the year, giving the Taipans the ability to pick up a couple of imports.

Update: a Cairns fan on OzHoops posted this:
On the local news tonight Alan Black all but confirmed Rolan Roberts is the new centre.

Mee is due to become ..... what?! C'mon Darnell, come home to Adelaide. Damn we'd be a fair side if he did.

His naturalisation has been on the cards for a while I think. The club could've seen this coming and held onto him for this reason.
