David Phillips mentioned in an interview to a Belfast paper that Steelers were messing him about whether to bring him back or not, I guess with new import limits and therefore less Brit spots they had to weigh up their options, Steelers going with a Brit back up so Greenfield going to play majority of games similar to last season and players already under contract ie Dowd, Jones and Whistle left them between Phillips and Graham and Graham won out, Giants likely to go with 2 import goalies If rumours true Whistle is leaving so needed additional Brit depth which Phillips can provide.
Maybe not, I think we will sign an additional import N/M and rotate them with a Brit Back-Up.
If we can pull it of by signing Jackson Whistle & having him back up Greenfield then we will be in a far better place than we were last year.
No official announcement from the Giants so far regarding Whistle, Besko has announced this is definitely his last season so if Whistle stays he could be number 1 the year after. Giants have announced a new player to the Giants and league from Japan, an NCAA friendship four alumni Kohei Sato, hopefully he will have a similar impact to Darcy Murphy in his first spell with the Giants.
