Premier League Round 8

Nate Garth & Daylight

Insignificant when he’s on $400k at 36ers!

Staude is the luckiest person in SA to get a starting position

So Staude is the non shooting shooting guard?

Have you watched a game, Johns is the point guard, brings the ball up and runs the offence, pretty sure that's the job description.

Johns plays the 2 though. Staude PG. Ficken might start?

Johns is leading the league for assists. Pretty handy distributor

He started over Staude from memory?

Yes but he is not in the same category as Sam Johns who returned this year. He will not be starting when he returns!

I thought Southern’s starting PG last year was a college kid who will be returning?

thought brine looked pretty good out there with the sixers , before going overseas.....
these days a distributor like elan davis would be pretty handy to have out there

Southern Men will go undefeated and take it out and so they should given the money they are spending on the program.

How can they afford 36k to pay the imports plus Johns? Then they would be paying Brine, Ellison etc

Then they also have tp pay the Womens imports plus some players.

Who is there benefactor?

I believe that Southern Women's program has a bigger spend than many men's programs!!

Brine started with Tigers and moved to North about U23's from memory. Seems he might be on about $1k a game from various sources. Norwood, Tigers and Forestville have biggest budgets

Why would Turnage & Mays be on any more than others? North have two returning visa players. They would be on the most.

Yeah, they have 2 imports like most teams but they're on more money than everyone else. And I don't think brine was a club junior, was north I think.

Not so sure about that - they have 2 imports, same as almost every other team & probably pay 2-3 of their clubs juniors who are now very good players (Brine, Johns etc). I’d say their spend is fairly typical around the league. It’s the ones like Norwood who poach Stanbridge for 10k that blow the budgets.

Haha, not a southern fan but love the indignation by the self righteous eagles supporters.
Amazing how Southern pay big bucks to bring in star players and they win. Wonder if they had same budget as some others where they would finish. Recent memory before the cheque book came out they were down the bottom, funny about that.
League needs to have a proper salary cap and enforce it!

When each family had six kids with them of course we were going to be outnumbered by the Gold Crew or whatever shit you call pyourselves

Southern fans need to read the rule book.

Another great #lucky win for the southern lads

If only Scumthern fans weren’t an embarrassment to their team, I’d almost have enjoyed watching them pump us.

Southern Men have "snuck" past Forestville with a 26pt win, with an emphatic 24-8 last quarter. This keeps their average winning margin around 30 points as they "sneak" past opposition after opposition and now go to 8-0. Don't worry doubters, West is coming up so surely they will be their downfall like North, Norwood and Forestville before them? ;)

Seriously, I say again, who is going to stay with Tigers' big 4, including their "competent" (but not league best!) import combo of Mays and Turnage? Those two alone had a total of 54pts on 22-32 shooting, 23rbds, 4 steals and 5 blocks.

Johns, Brine, Mays and Turnage are all pro-level players who train and practice each day and as a result and are fitter, stronger, more athletic and can play 35-40mins at a level that other guys can't. I've seen them play 3 times and when opposition are blowing late in the third and through the fourth, and these guys are powering on and taking advantage of their fatigue with their superior fitness and strength.

The TV guide for Channel 44 says men's Woodville vs South Adelaide Friday night at 8pm?

Why not men's? Also Ch44 streams on their website doesn't it? So interstaters can watch?

Good point Camel,

Looking at the TV guide the other day they had it on Channel 44 and it was the women's Woodville v South game

wonder wot game on tv tomorrow
