Bullets retain Te Rangi for two seasons

Good signing, and when you see guys like Thoseby in the league, and you’re complaining about Reuben, you obviously have no idea about budgets and player availability across the league.

I couldn't believe how he basically was unpullable. He single handedly lost games for the Bullets but never pulled to the bench. Such a head scratcher.

Sorry Isaac, that didn’t answer your question.

I think his playing time was unnecessary. I saw him played consistently between the 2-4 spots so it wasn’t though as he was glued to one position. A large part of the issue is that Lemanis seemed too stubborn to deviate from his game plan / was unable to make in-game adjustments. Too many times RTR ballsed something basic up, only to be left on the court. Was surprised he rarely got pulled for indiscretions when there were more capable scorers / ball handlers riding the bench. A lot of hoo haa said about how he is a big body and good defender but to be honest he didn’t move the needle on defence either and lost his player more often than not. Brisbane would’ve been better off playing at least playing Fullarton a little more when results didn’t matter.

7 other teams will be high fiving each other that he’s returning for another two seasons :)

He averaged half a game of play over the season, which is consistent with the minutes he played prior to the Bullets becoming bare bones with injury/Perrin leaving. He only played 3-4 more minutes when times were desperate. As per game logs.

Overplayed by Lemanis last season.

Was it that egregious though? Who should've been played in front of him? Especially once their season was a wreck and Buford was uncovered as less than a team player. I don't think they had anyone else at his position. Holt and Gibson weren't brilliant. Bruce seemed to decline from Cairns days.

Feels like Te Rangi has been in the league for 10 years already. He's the ultimate "one step forward, four steps back" player, sometimes all within the one possession.

He "defiantly" grew?

LMAO. Did someone tell him he wasn't allowed to?

Hard to write him off when SObey is 27 and has blossomed over the last two years

POOR effort from Brisbane to re-sign him. He is fair at best, is never going to do any better than bog average role player. Would Perth have re-signed him? NO, they would have been ruthless and cut him loose. That is why their culture is the strongest.

Reality, you have no sense of value within the player market. He is better (and younger ) than most college kids coming in the same age.

Huge upside? He's been in the league six seasons already.

Would've been ideal to cut bait rather than re-sign him.

Dome rat, you’re name is baffling, not the signing of a young future stud who has huge upside.

Te Rangi doesn't get much love but he improved last season and its good to see the Bullets repay that with an extension.

Yeah, no thanks.

Overplayed by Lemanis last season. Had a small number of bright spots but these were far outweighed by the duds.
