Why is the NSW league considered so poor? The state is not lacking in talent and good pro players so why does the top-level league "suck" so much in some people's opinions?

As a former benchwarmer in the Waratah League I conclusively disagree with everyone's opinion that it is unanimously and non-arguably the crappest of all.


I would agree,NSW Waratah should be at the bottom as it really is not great and only has 6 imports playing who are not the best.
Three teams have 2 imports on each team and one team has a current NBL Player in it.
This league has not been good for sometime.

Respondents need to post which state they reside in as it tends to cloud their response. Seeing a post from someone who's actually played in the various leagues carries more weight than the standard "I'm from (insert state here) so every other state is crap"

having played in 3 of the state leagues I can honestly say that it changes every season.
without question the Victoria's main league is the best .
I would rank the waratah league and premier league similary , with perhaps premier league better adding more quality imports in recent seasons.
I would rate SBL and QBL similar as well , I think the QBL overall talent pool is better individually but too many teams makes the overall competition less competitive.
also you need to rate both mens and womens competions differently as well.
I think its a discussion that pops its head up every know and then and gets no-where.
have an Australian title with the top 2 teams from each comp playing off for cash.
disregard NBL1 and NZBL.

Sbl is very average, even with Waratah league. The rest of lists pretty good.

Waratah and sbl


From what I’ve seen sbl imports make them better than Waratah.
