Greetings from sunny Daytona, the Bull Sharks have a new owner, Sandy Castle and I took a few minutes to catch up with him today.

The Admiral: Mr Castle Congrats on your purchase of the Bull Sharks, the local fan base are mightily concerned that you want to move out of town

Sandy: Tell them to have no fear, I intend to look after there franchise and turn them from perennial under achievers into a vibrant force within the league.

TA: That's good to know, what do you see changing in the short term?

Sandy: Well, we're reviewing the Coaching Staff and hope to have everyone on board going into the draft. As you can see, we were very active in the Free Agent market. We have already brokered deals for five players, four on the defense. We also secured the services of 5 Bull Sharks who were out of contract.

TA: The roster is looking pretty bloated right now, with 60 players on board and 11 draft picks on the board. How do you plan to address that

Sandy: Well we just gave 11 players their ticket out of here - that frees up room for the rookies and allows us some breathing room for quality free agents, should any become available.

TA: How do you feel about the roster, right now

Sandy: One word - AWESOME. We have real quality, solid depth and I'm hopeful of a run to the playoffs at this point.

TA: Who would you single out as key to this season?

Sandy: Getting Cyril Carter on board is a great addition, we feel he still has plenty of miles on the clock and has been somewhat under-utilised at his previous clubs. He is a genuine triple threat guy who can run, catch and return for 6 from anywhere on the field. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to leave it there for now, hopefully we can pencil in another interview after the Draft....
