Eric Bradley playing for Albury Wodonga?

Moses wont see you until A grade final night, will be returning from adelaide to pull on the bulldogs uniform!

Cant wait for that, What do you think your chances are of meeting us then?

Sorry doc, not really too certain on the Central ABL..... i guess it would be something similar however!

rare23air, thats a fairly in-depth prognosis, i would expect something like that from a doc...are you as knowledge-able on the player restriction rules. are they the same as ABL?

In a team like the Pioneers whom already have two high quality resticted players, they are unable to sign an nbl player playing over 15mins. It would be completely rediculous to "sack" one of these players in preference of a forman, ng or other similar player.

According to sources Williams was still only about 50% in round one and did not play last night. He is not expected to play next week either. There were issues with the removal of the pin in his finger and has to have minor surgery to remove it!

He is expected back in round 4 when the pioneers host Ballarat on Easter Thursday!!

Jomo - your right, i dont know the minutes or rotation in SEABL, i do know that he is injured now, or recovering from a serious injury which would be affecting game time. What i was talking about was minutes in the sixers. His minutes were small in the NBL, smaller than O. Forman D.NG etc. do you understand why an outsider would come that conclusion, why wouldn't SEABL go after quality NBL players (see above mentioned) also Nash, Holmes (last season) and so on.

Not taking anything away from SEABL, and true, i haven't seen much of it, but if you look at it this way...

Jason Williams getting paid a large sum of money to play for the Pioneers as a core player. Although he is a sixer, the Sturt team is still going to win ABL. Other players left include O.Forman, T.Gower, D.NG, among others. Any of those three you would say is a better player (certainly looking at sixer minutes when Williams is not injured). If SEABL is a better competition, why didn't Pioneers get an NBL player who does more than get splinters....for 8 years?? Perhaps the pioneers just arn't the strongest team in SEABL as was the case 4-5 years ago?

I dont believe you are correct there and i know that the majority of people who use this forum would feel the same.

I cant remember the last time a Central team played off in the national final, SEABL teams are always involved and usually win it all. ALthought Cairns did win in '04.

The SEABL is really the next league down from the NBL, much more professional and higher quality players than the other ABL leages.

Rare23air, you probably just misunderstood what i was saying,

what i meant was that the standard of basketball in SEABL is not as good as the standard in the ABL. The games in the ABL are of better quality than SEABL.

Does that make my point more clear?

Sorry Monkey, what you saying? could you please rephrase?

Rare23air, it might be worth mentioning that SEABL isn't really one the same level as ABL yet.

He was spotted in albury in ealry january at the australian country cup so he has been over there for a while....

His numbers last weekend really look promising and like he could do some real damage in the SEABl.

How did he go with woodville? I was a little surprised when i heard his stats but i may be wrong.
