The web site can't report on who they're talking to or options. I can post official releases on the site or pass on Boti's speculation, but the club is not allowed to do more than that. Even posting Boti's quotes is potentially a grey area?

Same situation for the Wildcats and Taipans, for example - neither of their sites have signing news on the front door.

I agree that they're in a tough position, but remember that they have one import spot left. Could get a SF and start Coops again and that won't be totally horrible. Copeland would be hardly a signing that all fans will love, but it's a spark off the bench.

Still need a big signing. A Dench might help a bit, but they'd be treading water for 2008/09 I reckon.

So because other club have not announced any positive signing make it ok? The best form of defence is to go on the offensive.

The sixer have just potentially had there worse season in the history of the club and the supporter and any new supporter need some good news to get us excited about the up and coming season.

If you were looking at becoming a new season ticket holder (16th of April 2007) for the Adelaide 36ers, there is no motivation to sign up.

Add on from ^^^^

If you were looking at becoming a new season ticket holder (16th of April 2007) or potentially renewing your season ticket for the Adelaide 36ers, there is no motivation to do so.

Another negative topic about the Sixers...cool.

Give it a rest, they cannot announce a marquee signing....until there is one to announce. Not exactly rocket science is it??

Here is your motivation...we can only go up from where we finished..if you don't want to buy a season ticket...then don't.

My theory is that a new team in the league making 2 in the past 2 seasons means we dont need to go 10 deep anymore.

There is only a certain pool of NBL talent to draw from, the rare Ingles talent and a bunch of development players that clubs can work on to round out a squad.

2 new teams means 15-20 less players of experience to draw on available as those rosters are needing to be filled.

I will say that teams that did not go 8 deep last year. ( exclude all but Bris and Tigers) will all struggle to fill spots as players like Scott Mc are able to field offers from 3/4 teams. Abney is able to stretch his value by shopping around as is Newley.

Bris and Tigers have a huge advantage as they have locked in players to leave in spots with a few minor tweaks if a player like Black vacates a spot.

Recruiting college talent is all important now as it will give you that Worthington out of the box level of player rather than a Ng / Sutton who needs a few years to get up to speed.

Money is the answer to deep squads as we will see when the free agents of note are all signed up to the "cap friendly" teams.

If we can put a squad of 7 decent names together built around Maher and Bllinger and it gels you will lock in a top 4 finish behind the afore mentioned IMO.

You're forgetting Cairns, who could feasibly get:

Mee/Cook
Black/Grabau
Cattalini/Boodnikoff
Import/Jawai
Abney/Smith

All contributors.

And Sydney, who could suit:

Import/Kendall
Smith/Carter
Saville/Tovey
Worthington/Hinder
Import/Crosswhite

That's three Boomers and two imports in the starting five, then two Boomers off the bench. Every player on that roster can contribute.

Next rung down are the Dragons:

Heal/Martin
Groves/Hill
Holmes/Ingles
Horvath/Hobba
Import/?

Everyone else is a step behind, IMO.

Hawks, Pigs and Singapore are an entire staircase behind.

Is Saville to Kings official?

Not "official" in that it's not yet announced by the club or the league, but I'd stake lots of money on it.

Hmmmm - I know there is one club that would take you up on that bet...

I know where I hope he ends up and its NOT Sydney - Ill keep hoping! LOL

Boring negative Sixers post...how original! Getting sick of all the 'frustrated coaches'. Great topic to start Tony Hawks

Only 154 days - Why won't the Sixer just come out and announce that they have a major signing boom and re signed Brett Wheeler, Marcus Timmons and Paris McCurdy.

Only 154 days left.

What is Flight LT 44 up to ???

Sorry but 153 days now.....tick...tick....tick....Boom.

Game over.
