Halfway point of ABL season
Compare Tigers stats with and without JM and you'll see what I mean. He's worth 10 ppg net to the team.

The Feagles have done very well and the Mavs provide the other end of the bookshelf.
I would expect Sturt to have a 9-0 run to tip the Feagles from top spot. IMO Norwood at risk of dropping down to 5th (or lower) 57 against Sturt is the lowest ABL score all season and it's difficult to see that "record" being beaten. Their last 3 games are at home and a cunning coach may get them over the line with 3 late W's.
North need to extract a digit if they want finals action or be edged out by either of the big cats.
Tigers have shown how much they rely on their import and with the Lions, are they the only threat to the top 5?
Woodville and South have had more home games than away in the first half and haven't taken advantage of their home court. Perhaps they should consider next year's roster changes already. Mavs are yet to win at home - will they be the only team not to taste a home win this ABL season?
