After watching his side dominated defensively by the Breakers, Townsville coach Shawn Dennis delivered bad news for the rest of the league.

The Breakers bounced back from a few underwhelming efforts to tame the Townsville Crocs and provide a treat for the home fans on Halloween night at Vector Arena.

It should surprise few to learn Cedric Jackson has been struggling with an elbow injury.

The Breakers would have found little appealing about their afternoon’s work in Wollongong — aside from the result.

The Breakers are hoping lessons from the last two losses will help them get back to winning ways against Wollongong today.

The positivity surrounding the Breakers' fast start to the season took another hit tonight, being narrowly edged by the table-topping Cairns Taipans.

The difference between the Breakers' championship years and last season's slump could be assessed by what the side did following a loss.

Impressive though the first quarter was in their win over Perth, the Breakers would have taken equal encouragement from their efforts in the fourth.

The seeds for the Breakers' big opening-night 80-70 win over the defending champion Perth Wildcats were planted during an offseason that transformed the club from also-rans to title contenders.

The Breakers looked like their old selves in dominating Perth at the start before hanging on at the end to announce their renewed intentions for the Australian NBL crown.

New signings have strengthened the Breakers' stocks of big men, but a fully fit Alex Pledger could be their best addition in that position.

The Breakers hope a quartet of recruits and a trio of changes can inspire them out of the Australian NBL basement and back to the top.

Cedric Jackson will return to the Breakers next season from a dismal jaunt overseas, but maintains the NBA is "still the ultimate goal".

An underwhelming season will leave the Breakers contemplating reinforcements but Kirk Penney is unlikely to be among them.
