Shawn Redhage Signs With Perth Redbacks
My sense is he'd be willing to keep playing in the NBL but if the cats don't offer him a deal then so be it

"Looking forward to seeing that Red 42 hoisted to the rafters. "
If they wanted to truly honour his contribution over the last few years they'll let it suddenly and inexplicably drop to the floor several times on the way up.

What exactly are the restricted player rules for SBL?
IIRC it something like averaging more than 10 minutes a game in the current season.
Not sure what his averages were last season, but I'm assuming that now there is a high confidence he would be unrestricted and as such a great pickup for an SBL team.
(I would have preferred he signed with the Eagles.)
Redhage is a highly respected veteran of the Wildcats. I doubt he needs to play SBL to prove his credentials. If they thought he could still offer something they would keep him on.
It could still happen, still half a season to go, who knows what happens.
But the Cats are also top-heavy, and ageing. They already have Wagstaff and Hire to backup the 4, so I'm assuming they have been planning on Shawn's retirement.
Looking forward to seeing that Red 42 hoisted to the rafters.

Why isn't this in the Thread for the SBL?

Let's see what he does if the Cats make the playoffs.. if doesn't get minutes or contribute, it's over.

Alex Loughton did the same thing last year playing for the Cairns Marlins, seems to have helped keep him fit over the off-season. He hasn't gotten injured yet which is a minor miracle considering the last few years...

Wow this is huge news! No wait....

Interesting signing by Redbacks.
Is it a worth while pick up considering his age and obviously he's on the back end of his career?

I see it more as a last ditch attempt to get another contract from the Wildcats next season.
At this stage you would think it highly unlikely he would get another deal so if he can say "Hey look what I've just done in the SBL?" it could potentially be the thing that gets him over the line.


I believe the under 20 men's state team was announced on the weekend? Is it true that Rawson wasnt named?
