Wildcats player announcement

Assessed value - okay.

"third party deals have always been outside the cap even pre-LK."

Except that the tax is based on assessed value, rather than what the actual contract is for.

PS: you can ignore the idiot trolls.

Guys I'm hearing from sources it could be terrico white

Dazz third party deals have always been outside the cap even pre-LK.

Granted Nate may be a bit exy, and its a bit greedy to want a player of his Calibre as the backup, but we're running out of options.

Majok, frankly, has been ordinary for most of his career. I would have loved to see what Nielsen could have done with him, but that's not an option.
I guess they are waiting to see who the import is. Whether he's a 25 or 35 minute guy, a straight 5, or a 4/5, etc.
Plus where they want to spend any extra money? They've possibly still got room for a 6th man (outside the bench cap) so do they use that for a backup centre (like Nate) or go cheap there and use it for a 3/4.

"Jawai's earnings at Cairns come from government support for his work with the community, currently the government are assessing whether they fork out money or not."

Going to laugh when Cairns get hit with the Salary Cap Tax for Jawai's extra earnings.

"I still think he will stay at Cairns but I don't understand the delay in resigning him."
"I think Jawai's asking price might be too high."

Jawai's earnings at Cairns come from government support for his work with the community, currently the government are assessing whether they fork out money or not.

I'd like to see him at Perth for sure.

Scouting for an import centre

Be interesting to see how they go about filling their two local spots.

I'd prefer Nate over Majok

Terrico White re-signs!

Majok makes sense.

THE NBL quickly needs to look closely at how it allows games to be officiated or risk losing the very audience it is trying to attract.
A sport filled with spectacle and spectacular above-the-ring action has been reduced to running in mud with three teams scoring less than 60 points last round and Wollongong's 68 points the lowest winning score in the club's storied history.
Bear in mind, the Hawks are the only inaugural club from 1979 still going around so it is a long time coming to reach a new low.
Their previous low was 69 from their five-point win at Cairns last year.
Adelaide started the ball rolling this round with 59 points against New Zealand, its lowest score since managing just 57 against Brisbane in 1983.
They were 40-minute games then, too, by the way.
Then Cairns mustered a meagre 58 in its home loss to Wollongong.
And to round out the weekend, Townsville at home and in front of a live national television audience on TEN, mustered a paltry 58 points against Perth.
The Crocs' 17 field goals for the match equalled the NBL's all-time single-game low.
Their 58 points was the club's lowest in 310 games at The Swamp and a ghastly way to farewell the league's longest-serving mascot, 100% Croc, whose appearance marked 21 years in the role.
Townsville scored just four field goals after halftime and none in the last quarter.
Rivetting television.
The Crocs' eight points for the final period were all from the free throw line.
