sixers....this is there year and the rest can scrap for the other places!!!!!

I think Dragons will be a top 3 team IMO. I think they look like the best team other than the Melbourne Tigers.

My thoughts on the finish


Tigers (easily 1st)
Wildcats(easily 2nd)
Dragons (easily 3rd)
Breakers (easily 4th)
Taipans/Hawks/36ers/Crocs (tight 5 and 6 th position)
-------------------
Blaze/Sprit (not a chance)
------------------

I am very keen to meet you little boy and "discuss the NBL" do you wish to exchange emails.

1. Tigers
2. Dragons
3. Wildcats
4. Breakers
5. Sixers
6. Blaze

In the words of KC gone -"Hawks and Spirt not a chance"

hmm dont know y you lot have wildcats second they still dont convince me it should be like this

1. Tigers
2.Dragons
3.36ers
4.Wildcats
5.Breakers
then the rest are off the pace hawks though probably have the edge, with sydney and gold coast most likely being crap

1. Tigers
2. Perth
3. NZ/South
4. South/NZ

5. Cairns/Townsville
6. Cairns/Townsville
7. Hawks
8. Sixers

9. Blaze
10. Spirit

1 - tigers
2 - breakers
3 - dragons
4 - wildcats
5 - 36ers
6 - crocs
7 - tipans
8 - spirit
9 - hawks
10 - blaze

lol give the priest a ball.

tigers (obvious 1st)
dragons (not sure, but i think their 2nd best)

breakers (maybe wilcats)
wildcats (maybe breakers)

36ers (could be higher, they look impressive)
Taipans (Abney & Thomas will combine well)

Crocs (dont know but Homocide will give them a chance)
Blaze (not sure, may be better than i expect)

Spirit (look hopeless)
Hawks (even worse)

is the povhoops steve if so
you're still a fool

24. Manilla Moo Moo Cows

looking at all the happenings in off season it poses some great questions leading into the season making predictions very tough !

top 6

1.Tigers (if they can gel together )

2.Wildcats (not sure if David, see above, has been follwing the off season happenings as they have a much stronger list that went within a game of the "BIG SHOW" last year )

3.Breakers ( CJ and Penny to shoot the lights out across the tasman)

4/5 Dragons ( big pickups and solid core to work from)

4/5 Carins ( DT massive pick up to team with the Cat and Abney)

6.Sixers (Like the wildcats have made massive upgrades)

I should have said in my above post that breakers, 6ers or cairns all could easily slip into one of those spots if injury strikes for the top three teams

1. South Dragons
2. Melbourne Tigers
3. Perth Wildcats
4. Cairns Taipans
5. New Zealand Breakers
6. Adelaide 36ers

7. Townsville Crocodiles
8. Wollongong Hawks
9. Gold Coast Blaze
10.Sydney Spirit

I do agree with Dragons above Tigers Journo. However, I'm not convinced that Cairns will be that good. My picks are as follows, I'm just not sure about the ordering of the middle group:

Dragons
Tigers
Wildcats
---
36ers
Breakers
Crocs
Taipans
---
Hawks
Blaze
Spirit

I think the Crocs could improve on last year - Hinder is a good addition for them, and having two settled imports will help. 36ers have undergone a lot of change. Breakers are good on paper, but it's hard to make guesses based on their pre-season (and the road trips hurt them). Same with the 36ers in that they only had the one pre-season win. Hard to know which teams have showed much in the pre-season and which were just experimenting.
