Joe Thomason joins Maccabi Tel Aviv until the end of the season. The Yellows felt that part of the loss was due to fatigue and injuries, and the feeling was that if another player did not join who could lend a shoulder and take the load off the team's two jokers, Wade Baldwin and Lorenzo Brown.

Less than a week later Joe Thomason joined, with his debut in yellow expected to be in the league games next week. The original goal was to bring in a forward, but after the war, and after the salary cuts, the mood that was broadcast in and around the team was clear. There is no privilege now to bring a player.
