NBL1/former QBL Preseason news
So SA and NSW have not signed up to this yet? Won't happen in 2020.

ok #9908
We have Waratah One, NBL1 North already named. I'll guarantee all states are on board for 2020.


NSW suppose to be NBL1 2021.
They need to do lot to get the clubs up to scratch to make it a decent competition otherwise they will always be behind the other states.
Not sure what the other states pay to be in it but as usual NSW wacked the fees up big time and expected the clubs to support it and it did not happen.

All state leagues to be NBL1 this coming season. Plus an ABA style Championship end of season tournament.

"When any of the clubs in NSW have the money or desire to actually field a competitive team in the greater scheme of NBL1"
Some of the clubs in NSW have both the money and the desire and had been actively lobbying for entry. Held back by NSW Basketball and some Sydney teams who are not financially able and would prefer to continue to stay in a sub standard competition. NSW Basketball beholden to older Metro clubs who lack vision and energy to move with the times. Will see many locals looking to move away to play NBL1, which is a shame.

There is no money in the Waratah league, it’s all part timers. It’s so far behind the other states.

as the Taipans hold their guy to randsome and don't pay them unless they stay all the way up to June 30.
Interesting. What does the club expect its players to do during the period March to June? Clinics?

When do the NSW teams come into the NBL1?



Mitch Norton will play for Townsville in the upcoming NBL1 season, Nick Kay likely to follow
