Yes, you don't need an import to win but if you have one or two NBL or ex NBL players it is just as good.
Norwood (men) bought their premiership last year.
They spent all their money on Jacob Holmes who would've got paid a lot more than any import got paid!!

The salary cap is a just a joke and they should really scrap it.

Lol at thinking any club would pay 30k for an import. 1) I think that is a full year amount 2) there are other VISA's available, particularly if the player is willing to work outside of basketball.

If reserves are an indication Southerns 10 may be:

Staude/Catford
Johns/Davies
Jones/Clarke
Creek/Smyth
Williams/?

Peacock was playing until Christmas but seems to have pulled the pin. Their 23s are in the final so maybe some of them?

Norwood bought a Grand Final by paying a retired NBL player??
Southern are congratulated though for financially stacking their team as it improves the comp??
If Southern win does that mean they purchased a GF??

Lets not forget the severely unfinancial club Woodville who were financially propped up by BSA (again this year with a free Hamilton Holden to the club).
They had Mitch Creek who was reportedly paid $15K + $15K. Two imports who were paid a salary + accommodation, food etc, tall player from Tassie and lastly the shooter from SEABL.

Now lets talk salary cap.

If Staude is the starting point guard then no matter how many imports/36ers they have they will still stink

If fisher gets a game it's a joke too, will just go to show its a social club

Mitch was NOT paid a cent to play for Woodville last season - FACT. Truth is he got a Mars bar show bag!

Big guy from Tassie was not paid a cent to play for Woodville last season - FACT.

Import bill last season came to no where near $15K - FACT.

But keep making stories up.
