Perth might go back to back if they get a bit of luck. Cairns down the bottom of the table should be about where they are. The rest should be pretty even.
Hard to see Sydney be too successful - don't think they will win a game. Reckon even Centrals might be able to knock them off.

Top 6 teams will be separated by 3 or 4 games. Like last season, road wins will be like finding a diamond in the rough.

very sad, we are in the middle of the world champs and people are tipping what may or may not happen not considering roster changes, injuries, chemistry. Just a waste of energy

I'll play along although it is WAAAY too early and i've only seen 1 team!

Townsville
Perth
Melbourne

come on guys get on footytips.com.au and join my nbl tipping comp. Lets put all these peoples skills to the the test. Its free guys.

you muppets, the word on the street is that the sixers is the team going around at the present, along with gold coast & the sheep shaggers (NZ), so all you guys that are against Adelaide must be either Victorian (which means what you say means jack s**t) or you have no idea

anon you seem to know alot for someone that knows nothing. Yes im an adelaide supporter but i dont get the whole adelaide is too small. They got soo many bigs. Join the footy tips and prove us otherwise. But to be honest your point is retarded adelaide will finish higher than melbourne. Quote me on that

most recent anon. You make a brilliant point that people keep overlooking. They keep saying we are short but we seem to have alot of bigs. I think its just jealousy from across the border. I think everyone knows melbourne is in the bottome four

You Tiger Turkey (Melbourne Tigers) supporters have no idea, you guys are going to get a rude shock this coming season. No Pigeon (Chris Ansty) no Tiger Turkey.

Most people forget that Kirk Penney missed a lot of games last season due to injury and NZ had a lemon in Storey. Penney is in amazing form right now as is Vukona and Abercrombie. The Breakers only just missed out on the playoffs and were hot at the end of the season. Braswell was a big part of that and he is also back. If the new Import can play any better than Rickert or as good as, NZ will have to feel pretty confident.
The Sixers will be in the hunt this season I believe, better coach and a couple of roster improvements all point to better things to come.

All of you sixers fans have no faith, until the season starts you can't make any predictions. Hey anon who said that Johnson is a poor rebounder, how about our glorious years with our main BIG man being Paul (slow as a snail) Rees, nothing personal Paul love you man you were fantastic. He wasnt the greatest player but he got the job done. So anon you are suffering from a severe case of N.F.I.

Lets all get down to the dome on Thursday night, everyone has Townsville high on their predictions.
Sixers V Townsville great chance to see where our team will fit

I will be their, but remember it is a friendly & there will be experimentations. however it will be great to finally see them in action & prove all you non believes wrong

New Zealand v Perth Grand FInal Series, Blaze right up there too. I dont think anyone can judge the 6ers, half a new team and new coach i think a realistic expectation is to play hard, play together and challenge for the playoffs. ill just be happy to see a team that plays hard,plays together and has no sooks or prima donnas. Lookin forward to it and mr sixer,i like the cut of your jib!

you guys will be eating your own words, & shano threaten me again & .....................

again NFI you guys, lets see what Tiger turkey do this season

Adelaide: Let's hope the Jason Winder is a star.


Who the hell is Jason Winder? Pretty sure his name is Craig.

You guys are all on crack! Townsville will find it tough to loose a home game and win 50% on the road. Crocs to beat Perth/NZ in the GF!!

Boo.......... how long you mupets been following the NBL for a week.

LOL this thread delivers. this is even more reason for everyone to get on board with my nbl tipping comp then we have a record of who is right and wrong.

Also mr sixer Shano was complementing you. saying i like the cut of your jib is another way of saying i like your style. mind you in saying that i had to research the phrase on the interwebz before i knew what it meant.


The melbourne fans are really standing out in this thread though. cant wait until we spank them at the dome and in melbourne.

Wow, this thread deteriorated.

Had to laugh when the "threaten me again" guy emailed me to file a complaint about the personal threat, presumably about his "jib" being "cut"!?

Lol..I had to read the thread twice looking for the threat!

Hey Isaac, have you gotten on board with the NBL tipping comp on footy tips yet? havent seen anyone with the name isaac join yet? i feel like a jehova's witness

Sorry, no time for tipping this year!

my apology shano, i thought it ment something else

Adelaide will not make the playoffs.

book it.

A roster similar to the wooden spoon one will not make the playoffs.

^^^LOL you clearly havent performed any research before your ill informed decision to decide to post a void comment.

players kept
Herbert
Ng
Hill
Holmes
Balls

that totals 5 players kept. which means another new 5 players which have come in, thats 50% incase you failed mafematiks.

players in:
Carter
Johnson
Dowdell
Winder
De Vries

new coach also.

how that is a similar roster makes no sense. if we only got two new players yes but 5 and a new coach, your dreaming

I'll try ansd get this thread back on track (probably unsuccessfully)

...here's my early pre-season prediction:

1 New Zealand
2 Perth
3 Adelaide
4 Gold Coast
5 Melbourne
6 Wollongong
7 Townsville
8 Sydney
9 Cairns

^like the look of LC's prediction

So much will depend on whether the Breakers release some players from their contracts before this season. There are potentially some good Aussie replacements out there who are struggling for Euro jobs, but they dont know the system like Penney, Vukona and Abercrombie do.

Have you seen on NBA.com Brent Barry ect talking bout Penney and how he would have to have a few invites to NBA vets camp and that he would be a nice addition to a lot of teams in the league?

Penney is also in talks with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Im pretty sure he used to play for them a while ago TR.

Well people.
We now know a bit more about our team.
3 from 4 against crocs and hawks, I know they are friendly's but are people starting to get on board yet?

GO SIXERS

NZ
Perth
Townsville
Adelaide
GC
Melbourne
Gong
Cairns
