    The Australian NBL has taken back the licence for the Illawarra Hawks after the club was placed in voluntary administration

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    League Chairman Larry Kestelman says they will spend the next few weeks establishing a plan and a process to find the next owners of the club.

    It makes way for 18-year-old former Hawks player LaMelo Ball and his manager Jermain Jackson to buy the club - after Jackson announced they'd already bought it on ESPN 24 hours ago.
