QBL FINALS
Great game by Cairns but fantastic atmosphere and game production by the Thunder. Deserve credit for how they've engaged their local association and community.

Jurlina with 32 and 5a for cairns. Sydney dp last season North Sydney junior only to make way for more Melbourne ring inns at the kings.

Marlins with the upset W!
just so I can plan my remaining weekends in August, by my reckoning the only way the Marlins get a home game again this final series is if they beat Mackay in Mackay AND Brisbane beat Townsville in Townsville, correct?

Cairns v Logan should be interesting, with a Taipan on each team. Mitch Young v Kuany Kuany.
The European connection of Krislovic and Jurlina is causing headaches, and with Fish coming back into form at just the right time, well, who knows?
If it all goes pear-shaped for the Marlins, that will be the end for Matt Smith who, as he said in a recent interview, has clothes older than some of his team-mates :) When the Marlins bow out (at whatever stage) he can go back to his job as a comedian...
Hard to go past Townsville to come away with all the bikkies, though. Smart coach, smart team play, well supported. (Can't believe I said all that, Rod!)

BTW. Really would like to read more re QBL on this site. Apart from the dickhead comments (yeah, they're everywhere, aren't they?) great to read all the "fresh" oppinions on here (and then I cpould write less too, yippee!).

hey guys im interested in getting involved in coaching at a local level some time in the future and have been doing some research.
a level one course through basketball sa appears to be sufficient and is cheap and doesnt take too long. has anyone here done one of these? they are re-structuring these at the moment. would that get me into a club?
also is there a particular club that is known for being well run and coached?? my preference would probably be close to the city where i live ie sturt/ nth adelaide.
i will be looking for a volunteer role where i could be an assistant coach and learn alot from watching and helping other coaches, for those of you with some knowledge of these clubs does that seem possible??
anyone with any insights or advice would be appreciated, cheers.
