FWIW im with Mystro, im all for the rule, allowing it as of right now and allowing Ross and Wesley to play.

just threw this out there in case an opposing club kicks up against it and as Boti suggests they wouldnt have much trouble beating this rule as its not in law, etc. His article is a decent read.

To me if this happens then what i was suggesting is a decent compromise imo.

Just interested to hear what people think, and what should happen, especially if a club tries to vote against Ross/Wesley due to the rule not being in writing per what Boty suggests.

"When they do adopt the rule they will also have to tidy up wether they take up the must have lived there for atleast 5 years part also, under these grounds i think Wesley and Ross would also be ineligible"
Ross maybe, but Wesley is eligible either way.

Both play for the Guam national team, so they're presumably both eligible even under the residency requirement, so it becomes merely about whether the rule is in or not.

The rule has been passed by FIBA it is just paperwork that hasn't been done by the NBL. That is all that needs to be resolved.
Just because other teams didn't choose to explore this rule that they were all aware of is no reason to exclude 2x players.
Wesley has already played in the New Zealand NBL with the Southland Sharks as a local under the new rule & attracted interest from other NBL teams who were obviously also well aware of the new ruling but chose to sign with NZ probably due to already having a relationship with Breakers assistant Coach Paul Henare who coaches Southland & Gary Wilkinson's recommendation (they played together at college).

If the other teams were unaware of this rule they should find new jobs as it was widely reported. It is more likely that they chose not to explore it further as they were too busy chasing stud imports.

A few people were talking last night at the Dragons v Tigers granny and there was talk that Seamus was telling people he is looking at buying the Adelaide venue? Anyone know anything about this?
