CJ a 7? Based upon what?

How they work it out i have no idea, based on the two gf teams how can they be an 87 point team? Few players should be tens not eights, rigged.

Aren't imports an automatic 10 anymore?

If I'm a GM

Yes please;

Blanchfield 7
Rhys Martin 8
Gruber 7
Weigh 7
Mitch Creek 6
Clint Steindl 5

No Thanks

Damian Martin 10
Hurdle 10
DJ 9
Schen 9
Trig 9
PC 9
Braswell 9
Ben Allen (anything over D)
Kevin White 4

Take a point off each of Gibson, Braswell, and all the Tigers roster below the imports.

gibbo will be a tiger this year

Trueman a 6 ????? Makes me laugh!

Daniel Johnson should be a 10. Braswell an 8 and the list goes on. ...

How are clubs supposed to keep a team together. Players are forced out and have to go play somewhere thats not their preference. Not much job security for the unfortunate ones.

Not many 1's , 2's , 3's and 4's. They are rating players way too high!
10 point players should be new imports and all star calibre players only.

Isaac, Abercrombie's contract expired at the end of this season so does that mean he has only been a 1 so far and he will be a 10 from next season? I heard Pledger is currently only a 3 because he is still on his existing contract.

I think its unfair that a players points rating is dependent on their contract. It should be a single rating based on statistics, experience and form from the previous season.

watto, I don't know. Wait and see the final rankings.

Multi-year contracts (and the internal/external rankings) are what allow teams to have some continuity and players to have some job security. More so than rankings just based on stats, anyway.

Everard Bartlett is a 6?

The man who went 0/9 in key games?

Are you kidding me?

This points cap stuff can be pretty jacked up.

How is Michael Cedar a 7?

This is why I hate the points system. Here is a guy who in all likelihood won't be re-signed by his club after 2-3 poor seasons in a row, and now he has to hit the free agent market with a 7 on his head when he is a 9th-10th man on most NBL teams. This is where it restricts guys' terms of trade. I don't buy any of the baloney about David Barlow and international guys being kept out of the league by this system, because it's complete crap, but for a guy like Mick Cedar it can be crippling.

1. They take into account the whole season and potentially the one before.
2. He can appeal the rating.

Rhys Martins an 8 and yet Will Hudsons a 9 lmao

Yeah but even as a 6 he is overrated. I'd peg him as a 5 at best, and I'd doubt they'd re-rate him down two rungs. Call me a libertarian, but there's just something about the thought of some bonehead in the league office arbitrarily determining a player's value instead of the free market doing it that doesn't sit right with me.

You also create the absurd situation of clubs or players arguing that they are not as good as the league thinks they are.

And if Ben Allen is rated as a 5, and not a negative integer, someone is implying he is providing some sort of a quantifiable contribution to his team, which doesn't sit right with me either...

Quick question. What is the total number of points allocated across the entire league?

Theory: With a set number of teams (8) with a cap (not sure what it is) that means that the total points allocated must be the same each year and divided evenly based on performance across the players. Otherwise if the total points increases then players will have to leave the league to accommodate growing developmental players.

Is this correct?? If so, this system has to be flawed as it does exactly what Barlow was talking about and squeeze players out of the league.

Example: Wilkinson getting sacked to accommodate Pledgers growing numbers. Abercrombie going from 1 to a 10 meaning 9 points worth of players have to be sacked from Breakers....

If the total player points increases then more skilled (higher point value) players are going to be asked to leave in order to accommodate cheaper development players.... This is why the league skill level is at an all time low instead of attracting better players.

Is my logic right???

Putting long-serving players at a lower rating makes sense, but they need to be at one club for a period of time, and dropping them to a 2 creates a whole new set of problems (well, not "new" but older problems get re-visited).

Cap is still 70 right?
Big shuffling going on in perth
Is the nbl ready for another Breakers Triumph?

Presumably they are, as evidenced by the "too low" ratings for Vukona, Bruton and Corletto.

Vukona was a 9 when he left the breakers
He's a 9 now, not too low , he's a game changer!
Wagstaff is awesome , scrappy and effective
Corletto and CJ are clutch!

Great ratings for all the players who go hard week in week out , not so for some that are half arse in this league.
Expecting a better season from the 36ers

"Vukona was a 9 when he left the breakers

Yeah, thats my point. Vukona is constantly touted as the premier power forward in the comp but is only a 9, same as Wagstaff. Who would you prefer? And if Damian Martin is a 10, Vukona should be as well.

Corletto and CJ are great players, and also an 8 and a 7, respectively. Way too low. Is Hire anywhere near as good as CJ?

I don't know a lot about the points cap.

What would happen if the Wildcats/Breakers had signed up most of their team on 2/3 year deals or a bunch of player options which the players take up?

Would some of the contracts have to be void if honouring the contracts took them over the points cap?

Vukona has more mmmmmmmmmmm lol

Based on the ratings , which teams had high cap points but shit results?

MIKE DUNIGAN 9

Not sure why a players contract should determine their points value. Should be based on performance, experience and stats.

Martins gotta comeback strong ,
Seeing he's pretty light the injury won't affect him as much as it did Kemp, Ewing etc careers

How is Wagstaff awesome, he did 3/5ths of jack this year and I always was nervous when he was on-court.

I have to wonder if the Wildcats players get marked extra high deliberately because they know Perth will probably appeal them all no matter what they are so they give themselves wiggle room?

Some of these I just can't justify. Wagstaff spent more time trying to be a hard man than a player all year and his game turned to crap for it, Hire is a player I love (and I wear his numbers on game day and have his signature on the back) but for all the rebounding he has absolutely forgotten how to drop shots. How these ratings get handed out to a team of players that shot SUB-THIRTY in a Grand Final is beyond me.
