Salary caps/team budgets in the WNBL?

If this is the case, Bendigo (for example) must get some great supporting cash from their venue, poker machines etc...

Other Associations may not be so lucky, obviously relying on sponsors, especially if they do not control their own destiny/venue.

Interesting how the WNBL's structure, policy and rules regarding financials differs from the NBL, isn't it?

Back to the original question ... no, no salary caps in the WNBL.

That's one of the structural issues ... with no constraints, it ends up about the ability of each program/team to raise $$ (mainly through sponsorship, or government funding) to fund player payments.

Not a level playing field ...

It would be kind of entertaining if Lauren Jackson is now earning more than any single NBL player.

Without "naming players" what sort of athletes would be attracting 6 figures in your opinion?

That's ALOT of money

The Wollongong Hawks have signed Anthony Petrie, with the club confirming a one-year deal with the 203cm forward.

Petrie was signed with the West Sydney Razorbacks last season and was quickly snapped up by Brisbane earlier this year. When the Bullets ownership transfer failed to go through, Petrie became available and Hawks coach Eric Cookie admitted he had had an eye on him ever since.

With Weigh, Petrie, Gibson and Tanner now gone from Brisbane since the Kemp incident, this leaves them pretty light on options if any bid to keep them in the league should succeed. Who's left from that interim squad - Hill and Rigby?
