It's a league issue. No comment.

Travis Henry

He's going to be a great player in this league. He's going to open some eyes.

He tried out for a minor league team but never really made it.

Jeff Flaherty

He deserves it, he is a fantastic player. He has won everything, apart from the Champions League, which I am praying he can do.
