NBLkings, what happened to your SEABL dreams?

SEABL,QBL,Big V,SBL with Waratah/CABL level about the same.


I note that the top couple of teams in each conference can compete with each other and the bottum few fropm each conference are all pretty poor.

No such thing as Tassie League so scrub that one.

I must have been thinking about some other Tassie, I wonder where that one is?

Bloody IPad!

Of based on the top few teams from each team and excluding SEABL i think it would be.

QBL
SBL/Big V (Hard to split)
CABL/WARATAH (Both aren't very good!)

NZBL/SEABL are roughly on par..maybe a little bit better depth in the NZBL as each team has 2 good imports and pretty solid locals.

big v is the best state league by far

u mad? ^ big v is the best state league by far ur just mad

Big V lacks depth...they had 4 strong teams in 2012 then the rest were very poor.

Just read Eltham just changed coach so really it becomes a two horse race in 2013 (Ringwood & Corio Bay) - Hence when rating the leagues they are a little behind in depth compared with SBL/QBL who field 5/6 strong teams.

Haven't heard re Eltham coach but think they will struggle next season.

I know most of the players are looking elsewhere....they have 4 of the better players in Beston,Norton,Cuffe & Macdonald who will be chased pretty hard by other clubs.

Question

What to the other leagues play in a season?
We play a pitiful 18 with some teams training more than they play
SA clubs ( everyone of them) take junior funding and pay for a sub standard comp , with sub standard refs and a diminishing volunteer base.

BSA don't promote it ( no press) and as a result they have no sponsors of it
Grand final this year , while a great game, had really poorly advertised of the game, incorrect details on the ticket web site and low crowd numbers

BSA has no sponsors , soon to be homeless and no vision for juniors to Seniors.

Cubs need to go to BSA and ask what they are going to do about fixing the problem.

SANFL a few years back, went to oval rationalisation till clubs got their act together, now lets be really honest, how can we run a comp that competes with some mentioned here in the current venues we have.

Seriously, we will never compete till we get some of the above fixed and a governing body that will promote the games, lift the profile of the sport and do something about the offering for the spectators.

Otherwise, we can keep putting up topics like these and then get the same rhetoric every year.

Merry Christmas

Ok NWBU isn't stronger or even on par with Big V teams, I coached in Waratah and NWBU i would take my City of Sydney local premier league team down there and smoke those teams. With all farness my local team would beat most Waratah teams.

Reason Waratah league is so weak - Take Comets,
Have a few strong players but you look at there Premier league there and most of the teams best players refuse to play in Waratah now. Age/money/time or just be honest the coaching (such in the way Luke Overs) - players in sydney dont want to be told off and do sprints and shit for no money.

North Sydney was considering movinig into SEABL, they have 4 King player or Development players. they realised that the costing of bringing an import in plus adding to there 2 training session a week would have players dropping out.

People in Sydney find committing to sport to hard if tehre not getting something for it
