WA SBL - February 2020

New March message thread here...

www.hoops.com.au/forum/46984-wa-sbl-march-2020

Rockingham 71 Perth 86

* Perth at full strength with Carlwell, Jackson and young shooter Coppin leading the way
* Flames missing J Beard, Durnin, Hire, Heyer and Ritchart. Hussey, C Beard & Ciabatoni best for Rocko
* Anyone who bought the Brisket burger from the solitary food van at the game were the real winners

can some-one please tell me if this is the roster for the WSBL - WOLVES

shani amos
Georgia denehey
Chelsea belcher
mikalya prini
amber land
Brianna turner
izzy miotti
nashai Williams
amy kidner
Emily Hayward

is this about right or am I missing anyone , or do they have another import on the way.

I suppose we will see at the regional blitz next weekend.

Ritchart hasn't played a full season since he has been here, and Hire will be missing from time to time with other commitments. After that, they have the fat Beard brother, and Durnin and Justin Beard can play the 4 as a last resort. So yeah, they will be hoping for uninterrupted seasons from Ritchart and Hire.

Big improvements - Perth Redbacks

Key Out - Lako

*** UPDATED ***

PROJECTED STARTERS:
IMPORT, Huntington, Ross, Jobling, Ironmonger

2019 Finish - Regular Season 4th, out in quarter finals
KEY RETAINS:
Josh Ritchart (import), Greg Hire, Ryan Godfrey, Justin Beard
KEY LOSSES:

PROJECTED STARTERS:

PROJECTED STARTERS:
Davis, Ellis, Swaka Lo Buluk, King, Wroe

Brody England, Mitchell Keller, Cory Richardson, Lucas Goff, James Goodlad
KEY LOSSES:
Terrell Carter (import), Tyler Livingston (import), Michael Lay
KEY GAINS:
Jay Washington (import), 2ND IMPORT
PROJECTED STARTERS:
Keller, IMPORT, England, Richardson, Washington
ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY:
Finished 1-25 in 2019, lost arguably their best player in Michael Lay, and no signings announced yet for 2020 apart from a journeyman import - new coach Mark Worthington will need to pull a few rabbits out of his hat.

Hawks have announced both imports now. Look to be adding some depth.

Yes.. but seeing how he wasn’t playing the following year , so no clash with preseason. That’s the whole point of this

Redhage did, coming off retirement...

No one played NBL that year

Just ask Perry Lakes how great it’s was come finals when the Wildcats pulled rank.

Wrong. He was on the bench with a broken finger or thumb

Was he? I remember him playing in an earlier round of the playoffs.

Either way, the Wildcats have been playing pre-season games in regional areas on grand final weekend the last few years, so any Wildcats players who would otherwise have played in the grand final obviously wouldn't end up playing, so the numbers in that post don't really indicate anything.

Etto now in the basketball version of centrelink looking for that chokestart allowance. Awwwoooooooo wolfpackalacka

Etto already goooooooooonnnnnnneeeeeee

Wrong. He was on the bench with a broken finger or thumb

You guys aren't exactly flooded with NBL talent. A quick check on boxscores and you have to go back to 2014 just get find any Nbl players who played in the GF.

This doesn't exactly do well to counter the point that NBL players are often conflicted out of the end of the season.

Greg Hire was on Joondalup's roster in a couple of those years you list, but didn't play in the grand final because he was with the Wildcats, who are usually playing their regional pre-season games on SBL grand final weekend.

Ben Purser to that list. He’s better than half the lists mentioned.

Vague and Dech already confirmed in NZ NBL

NBL players in the SBL? You guys aren't exactly flooded with NBL talent. A quick check on boxscores and you have to go back to 2014 just get find any Nbl players who played in the GF.
Oh and before anyone chimes in - DP's do not count!

2019 - Geraldton vs Joondalup = 0 Nbl players.
2018 - Perry Lakes vs Joondalup = 0 Nbl players.
2017 - Perth Redbacks vs Joondalup =0 Nbl players.
2016 - Cockburn vs Joondalup = 0 Nbl players.
2015 - Joondalup vs Southwest = 0 Nbl players.
2014 - East Perth vs Geraldton = 2 Nbl players.

Winning SBL programs are not built with buying Nbl talent.

National Champs is the week after the SBL grand final.

Costs either covered by the SBL themselves, or through an equalisation payment from the clubs.

If your club is lucky to make the National Champs, the least of your problems will be keeping your imports here for an extra week. And if the club has an issue with that in a financial sense, then they need to have a good hard look at themselves and how they are managed.

Lukosius is always spot on

An interesting summary by Lukosios on a SA Premier League thread about the SBL not joining NBL1:

https://www.hoops.com.au/forum/46864-premier-league-to-nbl1-central/#p792198

"@the insider

They are the worst predictions I've seen on this forum EVER. "


And yours are what?
At least he's put time into something that is actually interesting to read, compared to some of the BS we see on here.

Lewis Thomas to possibly add for Willetton. He has been training with them, not sure if signed.

Armour out most if not all of this season with knee injury

Redhage is back with the Hawks

Okay, let's get some discussion started here. With only 3-4 weeks before the pair of pre-season Blitz weekends, here are my 2020 predictions for the men's SBL. Disclaimer: My player statuses/movements are based on (1) official club announcements, (2) rumours and innuendo, and (3) players staying at their 2019 clubs if there has been no mention of them in the preceding points (1) and (2).

they also have Kyle Tipene from South Australia via Queensland. Another one-and-done interstate prospect the Giants love so much, whether it be David Humphries from last year of Holloway and Atem Atem from previous years

the giants stocking up with past string mandurah players: Klasztorny, Lawrence and Ballantyne. They also got Garang from Redbacks. What's the go with these boys moving out to Kal?

Giants have their complete roster on their website. If their imports turn out okay, they will be pushing top-6, maybe top-4.

Seems a lot of clubs are still holding their cards close to their chest. Haven’t heard much out teams like Lakeside and Willeton yet.

Imports aside let's break it down...

Lost:
Durnin (solid to elite)
Ballantyne (6th man to solid)
Lawrence (bench)

Gained:
Smith (solid but hasn't played in a while)
Honey (bench)

Finished 6-20 in 2019 and had an elite import (Stewart) and a solid import (Smith). So I'm struggling to see the improvement when you break it down.

mandurah aint doing shit - never have, never will

Mandurah building a solid mens squad . no excuses not to make the playoffs this year . have added ben smith and matt honey.there imports have been solid over the last 2 years but have had no depth.if trahair has recruited 2 good imports which I suspect he would have then they can only improve.

he'll probably be coaching at Scotch as well alongside CJ and Carlwell

Caleb White announced by Redbacks today

Good point - so many characters are leaving us. Who will fill the void along with TT?

I reckon Ty is calling etto and lacko right now asking them to come back into the league asap so he can take a breather on this forum ... ha ha

Says the guy calling someone else a coward without using their own name. You gotta love the ass clowns on this site sometimes

Why is TT actually a topic still?

Has the full support of the club top down, has the place humming, but still has haters..

Are we forgetting the place nearly shut it’s doors less than 5 years ago?

This place is full of so much hate, not sure why I still even read anything..

16 pts a game is a great pickup for spiders if paying min import sports visa.

if paying 750 per game (or more) plus accom plus car plus plus plus plus ... its not

... surprised caleb didnt go for the free option of dodgy tourist visa with a few paper bag cashies and free pies from the cougars canteen.

TT Logic 101:

1. Announce Signing / Boost my own ego some more
2. Post "signing" to social media page / head to former radio station employer page to see if any mention of me on there still for more ego boost
3. Watch "signing" go to Perth and then panic so beg signings new club not to make it public until my ego figures out how to put the blame on anyone but myself like I always do (See underperforming wabl coach / underperforming state coach / overrated radio 'personality')
4. Go back to previous employers page to see if they currently have any vacancies after being told by current employer ego not meeting standard required and services no longer tenable

Couple of new rookie imports signed by the Buccs and Suns

OK Tyrone. Thanks champ

Pretty sure the Cougars board won’t blink.

They jumped too soon. The only people who care about it are on this forum.

Now hearing ceo begging spiders not to go public with it until he can speak to the cba board. Here's hoping they don't have internet in Hamilton Hill hey Mr 929. Might be back on radio by end of the week at this rate

Cockburn put out a media alert on social media saying he had been signed, without anything actually being signed, then Perth got him to put pen to paper. Dog act or stupid move by arrogant ceo not ticking all boxes before releasing info... I'll lock in the latter answer please Eddie. #CougarDenOrKarmaDen #AmateurHour

Caleb blindsided Cougars. Said to announce and pulled after it had gone out. Was playing for free too.

Not sure they want someone who plays those games anyway..
