Should SEABL align with NBL

As long as we don't get promotion/relegation... I'd love to see Canberra or Hobart in the NBL again but not at the expense of Bullets and Kings

Not necessarily the Seabl but an NBL development comp could be a good idea. May be a way to get an AIS team in and also areas that don't currently have NBL teams e.g. Tasmania, second NZ team

I've said it for a while that I think a second league, or reserves would be good for the NBL. The thing with AFL is that all of the big cities have a second team. This means that there is always an AFL game on somewhere that weekend. Having a second tier league means that the AFL lists are longer and like noted with Penny Taylor, a player can have a run in the seconds to pick up their game.

Very old,

And you can still do that if your in the same season as the NBL or WNBL, what difference does it make?
In AFL, players get dropped and go to the SANFL that same season and adjust and pick up there form and re-group.. It makes no difference. It needs to align with other sports in OZ that have all there main competitions in the same season and form affiliates..

Penny Taylor went to SEABL to develop her game after she did not make the opals, that season in the lower league allowed her to round off he game and strengthen/practice/focus on her weaknesses, and that was when her career went off.
That alone proves the usefulness to a fringe natrional and top league player of having the 'second' league on a separate schedule to the W/NBL's.

The logistics of who pay for what and who takes the venue profits (if any) is another reason why not to have double headers across leagues.

Matt, maybe some put some paragraph spaces and perhaps try and write a more compacted post and you could get a better response.

Your topics could create an interesting discussion, but I find it too annoying to read in full for me to bother with.

Do you think the sixers would have been better with Luke in the team or not? For me I'm glad they didn't recruit him because 1- clarke probably wouldn't have used him like he should have and 2- I think the service we are getting from Johnson and Simpson far outweighs what we would have got with him in the side. Just my two cents worth
