Yeah great spotting of Stiendl, becaues he was in town due to his girlfriend playing for the Lnyx. Wow!

Fro all the shit he cops, and claims he doesn't develop players, Gleeson has a skill for spotting talent others don't. He must have plans for Steindl.
Clint made his name as an outside shooter, a skill that seemed to desert him last season. With Vague coming in, Trev must have plans for Clint to be something more than the 11th man who plays 2 minutes and hits a couple of bombs.
If he's going to be the backup SG, then the only place for Naar would be as a DP.
Then they need to go out and find another 3 or 3/4.


For Perth, it really depends where they see Steindl playing? Is he better suited to backing up the 2 or 3?
In Perth's game, I suspect 3, which means there is some opportunity for another young guard. Also gives him plenty of time to develop without too much pressure.
You'd have to figure that Damo will see less and less court time, which means Norton should see real minutes.
How good is Narr? Could he step straight in and play serious minutes in the NBL?
Or is he more likely to spend a year as a DP?

Naar should go to Illawarra, bevo would be great for him. As previously state high iq , poor defender.

happy to be 4th fiddle in Perth ? Import, Martin. Norton
happy to be 4th fiddle in Melb ?
happy to be 5th fiddle in Brisbane? Gliddon, Cadee, Gibson + import
happy to be 4th fiddle in Syd - Randle, Lisch,Tom Wilson
happy NZ just picked up weeks to be 3/4 rd fiddle ?
thats 5/8th of the league gone
just leaves
Illawarra
Adelaide
Cairns
unsigned
Shaun Bruce
possibly in that order ?

Hopefully that's still the case, as would hate to lose yet another promising Sydney talent for the sake of Tigers friends & family...

Tom Wilson has signed with Sydney so it could be suggested that they are out of the race for Naar.
On the contrary, I'm hearing they are still actively pursuing. Pineau may be a factor swaying on top of other things. Despite their woes relying on unproven talents, this one may be less an issue with their stellar backcourt.

Defense ain't great but his basketball iq is off the charts.

Most college kids take at least a season, Drimic had good credentials but was not that flash first season,Humphries the same even though both got rookie of the year award. Lot harder playing against older and bigger bodies.

Surly Naar would’ve been a better option, from Sydney but bring in more tiger mates.

Perth not excercising option on Kenny would suggest they have someone lined up.....smart money says that is Naar.
Brandt/Import
Kay/Walker/Pinder
Import/Wagstaff
Import/Steindl
Martin/Naar
Looks okay to me

An other boy out of Sydney boys high, no wonder they were back to back national champs. Very high iq player, excellent in a good defensive team structure, not the best one on one defender. Streaky shooter. Adelaide should chase this player, could be the missing piece.

He has signed with Perth I believe

Any chance to sign in Adelaide? Don’t really have a backup PG unless you count Doyle.

According to this article he is expected to sign with an NBL team.

Mentions Perth and Sydney are keen.
