NBL star John Rillie scores a career high 45 points as the West Sydney Razorbacks defeat the Wollongong Hawks in the 2004 NBL semi finals. It remains the most ever points scored by an Australian player in an NBL playoff match.

Rillie's was in an EF (elimination final) vs. Perth in Perth, but that was 34pts.

He did hold a record for 45pts scored in a game being the most by an Aus player. But that was beaten by Cattalini for Cairns 51 vs. Bullets.

Bryce Cotton scored 45 in the GF-clinching game. That's probably what they're referencing.

Good luck to Troy.

Didn't John Rillie score 45 in a final or S/F?

Hey hey Georgiu girl

Lol

Hoops.com.au is a flog!!

Bad luck Koberulz, Dazz beat him for the job.

Koberulz didnt get the gig?

"If he fuks up just get more money from Bendat and sign someone that can score 50 in playoffs."

Firstly, no one scored 50 in the playoffs. Which one were you watching?

Secondly, the Wildcats were forced to let JJ go, they didn't go find Cotton to cut JJ.

Lastly, please tell us more about how just spending more money = success. Sydney? Melbourne?

"Being CEO of cats easier than CEO of taipans. You perthian whinge too much. If he fuks up just get more money from Bendat and sign someone that can score 50 in playoffs."

Just goes to show how much you know about Jack Bendat.

He isn't one of Australia's richest for no reason.

Winning certainly helps but OFF court work is one of the reasons Perth is a major success

So why did Marvin walk?

Troy seems to be a very nice man - but one might have to question, maybe too nice for this role?

Some said Marvin had a nasty streak, but when it came to making sure his club was as good as it could be, that was sometimes an asset.

Big shoes to fill and he will have a lot of pressure to do well, but he'll have everything he needs to have the opportunity to succeed. I think it's good that he's been at the club for so long already. They don't need an overhaul in any area, they have a good thing going on which has been a successful formula on and off the court. They just need someone who can bring something new and make fresh positive changes, but do it by building on what we already have that already works. Hopefully he does a good job.

Big, big shoes to fill.

Let's hope he knows what he's doing.

Well the Crocs were just embarrassing against a Taipans team ready to play finals basketball after a tough game the previous night.

Joe Blake was on fire especially with his Captain Stupido mannequin...

No doubt as they always do in T'ville the week will be full of bravado about winning at home this week.

Last night was the time to show some ticker and they came up VERY short in the heart department!
