nbl injury waiver replacement rules
I have read on forums that the nbls rule regarding injury replacements is that a player can only replace the one player they have been bought into replace, eg. Majok and Wagstaff, so in this scenario once Wagstaff is back Majok cannot play for the wildcats? even to replace Matt Knight or someone else?
I guess the same would apply for Carter/Bruce and Harris/Creek which Clark seemd to mention on Coast FM? or can Bruce say replace Ng and Majok then replace Knight?
If they cant its a bad rule IMO, surely with a salary cap, points cap and u/24 rule in restricting rosters they dont need any further rules like this.
Wouldnt the common sense thing be to say aslong as you have atleast 1 U/24 player in your 10 man roster and the roster fits within the points cap for each game then its all good?
and with the 7 game qualifying to playoffs rule in it prevents anyone from bringing in a stud to help them in the playoffs without playing 7 games of the season,
I hope the NBL get this fixed if this is the case as we dont want good young Aussie players such as Aaron Bruce and Majok (if he doesnt head to Europe), being forced to sit out of the league over a rule like this. If i was Adelaide and Perth i would be appealing this to the NBL big time.
