Oh new November thread....

Oh look new November thread....

Jake Burston spotted at Willetton Tigers first session on Tuesday and looks in fantastic shape, will be especially handy on road trips on, but primarily off the court.

This is the real news we have all been waiting for.

When the Tigers are already training and the Slammers have no coach and about 2 players

Any new imports signed around the league?

who is the front runner for pals services.

1. Mandurah
2. rocko
3. perry lakes.

will lakeside women have 3 imports next season with schags becoming an Australian citizen.?

No.
Shwagmeyer
Fipps
Roscoe
Grant
Byrnes
Moyle

It's a strange one. He was overweight and has obviously lost weight coming into this NBL season. But now seems to have lost all his strength and also wearing a shirt underneath singlet? Odd.

I would think he could take Foremans minutes no problem.

Forman still shoots 46% from three.

Cody isn't that good even at SBL level. Good on him though for not getting spooky and complaining and just going about his business as a team members. Much worse players than him sitting on benches e.g. Hancock

Carl Catalano expected to be named Slammers head coach in the coming days.

Hawks expected to sign Waratah League MVP Tyler Monroe in the coming days.

If he averaged 27 and 16 in Waratah, expect him to average 25 & 15 then in SBL. #bumleague

Just watched his highlights from last season in that league.

he looks like he can do big slamma jammas

Kyle's issue never was his shape, its the fact he's at Willetton in a system where its Give the Ball to Ray Turner and do nothing else.

Love this douche who keeps calling SBL the Bum League. yet he's still on the forum for the SBL. This guy must have an insanely exciting life, filled with so much joy and happiness, living in a one bedroom apartment by himself and his ex wife's cat snuffles.

Pretty sure this is an NBL forum with ONE SBL thread.

Willeton's issue is they dont give the ball to Turner enough. Too many mouths to feed. When you have a big like Turner you make sure he gets enough touches. Kyle is well past it. They were better with Black on the court than with Kyle.

WHY DOESNT SOME-ONE ASK RAY TURNER ABOUT THE COMPARISONS BETWENN QBL and SBL.

Haha, way to bring the thread full circle.

Its a hoops forum, and why be on an SBL thread just to bag it out?
Kyle is well past it? where the heck are you getting that from. He's far from past it. Better on the court with Black? HA you must be kidding me right.

Turner played in the QBL 2014 it was his first stint and he averaged 21 ppg and 12 rpg to now where he is more of a complete player and 3 years older with over seas stints in between and averaging 25 ppg and 12 rpg in the SBL, also remember the SBL numbers were always more blown out due to playing 48 minutes compared to everywhere else that played a crap 40 minutes (until this season).

Doesn't say much for the fact QBL was meant to be SOOOOOOOO much better than the shit SBL. You can check it all out on his I am sure self made Wikipedia Page.

QBL is better. Why are SBL supporters so precious?

Slammers going to struggle next season big time!!!!

They've got no one else for the job, 0-26 on the cards, no Tre Nichols and Brian Voelkel and rumours are Weeden, Puot, Douglas and Lay are moving on/not playing. Starting 5 and 6th man super sub all gone not a great foundation

A year building around Trav Durnin on the cards?

Why don't one of the paid employees of BWA do it?

Cooper Hamilton from Perry Lakes looking great this off season. Will be my pick for Most Improved in 2018.

Rumour has it Daniel Sahih has returned from overseas. Apparently has grown 8 inches over his time there. Some calling him the Perth Porzingis. Don't know if I'd call him that but I must say in our 1 on 1 workout he looked real good. 5% Body fat. Smooth stroke. Will be a good pickup for Kalamunda.

after reading about the s/w slammers woes with tre Nichols moving to the Hobart chargers , and carl catalano named coach and not many returning players with voekel,lay weeden etc
the giants have lost holmen who signed with the Hobart chargers only to do a knee injury and have signed no -imports , do not have a coach and there local talent is equal to the slammers.
im starting to see some worrying signs for a couple of the proudest clubs in the SBL.
I hope they can get organised and put a competitive team on the floor for 2018 because the SBL need these 2 teams badly.

^ does it though?

Has Cummings leaving Cockburn been confirmed?

He has already left Cockburn. He already has a new club.

^^^ which is?

Cummings will be a Hawk.

Sadly no $$$ at Cougars so very hard to retain players.
If no imports and no Cummings, could be a very very long year.

I call BS on Cummings going to PL.

What happened to Holman?

I would prefer to go after Marshall Nelson than Cummings

That's good to hear about Holmen. Marshall Nelson is probably out of reach now for clubs in the SBL. Outside of maybe Perth he is most likely a Seabl or QBL signee.

Is Holmen to Hobart also fake news?

no Holmen to Hobart is definitely confirmed and is not fake news. Giants are still without imports (which will happen in due course) and no coach.

^ Interesting - why then did you say the knee injury was "fake news"

Have the Redbacks signed anyone yet? Did Redhage agree to come back? Is Hussey going to be a Redback?

Huge

But against the hawks kids team

WSBL- there has been a bit of talk around this is what ive heard the traps.
HAWKS- Edmondson will be non- restricted so can add an import
MAGIC - have lost gilday but carly boag is back
LIGHTNING - know schag is an aussie will add another import . mel moyle and Courtney byrnes to be added - however will lose ash grant to a SEABL team
TIGERS- will lose hootmen and barr , have added priyni and aj jones from the redbacks. also looking at securing a wnbl girl from the eastern states
WOLVES- adding imports to their squad but lose klara wischer
SENATORS- have same imports as last year but have added kunek and Thompson from the lynx
REDBACKS- NOnothing
COUGARS - NOTHING
SUNS - keep import pairing , fejo.
FLAMES - signed maddie allen 191cm Australian playing for capitals former college player- also adding 2 imports
SLAMMERS- adding 2 imports
EAGLES- new coach tanya fisher will replace imports but have 2 .
all you need to do is sit in the stands at a lynx game and talk to people they are happy to talk

Kunek and Thompson will be restricted (Kunek definitely) so that theory for Stirling doesn't work.

Any news on who the Slammers imports are?

Standish to redbacks

Timms to lakeside? They need a centre

if the Standish comment is true then look out league.
the Charles nix connection whilst in Townsville may be the reason for her decision in playing there .

A surname.

denehey to perth as well

that's really disappointing if denehey has gone to perth - peter harper has played a significant role in her development.

Yes please!

Lol. Steindl isn't playing in your bush league in the offseason

kyle solvine - looks like a young damian matacz

J Jackson was out for a while with a serious illness. Is recovering well though

WSBL jones to Willo and Pirini to perth

Forget that, Lakeside A grade finals have started.

good to see Charles nix buying a team again.

Standish
priyini
denehey.
???

Cockburn had trials this weekend. Perry lakes the weekend before. I think Mandurah had open trials the weekend before that. A few teams I think have already started.

Mandurah men have been scrimmaging on Thursday nights down at the marc for about 5-6 weeks.
Mandurah women have been in pre-season for 4 weeks.

Then there's the Slammers who don't even have half a roster

Any new players at these clubs How was Cougars squad looking Women and Men

Cougars looking solid again. Have lost Cummins and DT and Della to retirement but will be getting two imports along with Field, Chan and Pesava and some more Australian's on the way, as they are paying some Aussies now compared to in the years past.

Mandurah will be tough, JJ back in town and healthy, however apparently lost Mullenax to retirement as the body has packed up. Mandurah have targeted some good players and looking to spend a bit to get them down that way. Hussey being rumoured to catch up with Trahair again.

Hussey playing for lackos chequebook

Anon 527 has no clue. Cockburn will not have imports, Hussey is at Redbacks and JJ doubtful at Mandurah

Anon 529. Cougars will have imports. You have no idea what you're talking about.

The Board.

Cougars have financing in place for two imports and they are already paying locals to keep them around.

That is a pretty impressive feat for an SBL team.

they should be a shoe in for the flag now!

So Cockburn have suddenly come into the money

It isn't the kids skills that is the issue for him. It's his attitude and his ability to be coached.

Lol so we should expect all Wolves players to end up with injured feet by the end of the season

giants commented that an announcement on their coach would be this week , any news ??

Wolves have PEAK sponsoring them, thats huge. Enjoy wearing those beaters boys. Yep great promotion, but not as good as when AND 1 was sponsoring Kalamunda. That experiment turned out well.

What about Turner

Has the sbl officially changed to that new Spalding ball, the black/maroon tf 1000 i think? Can't find it on the sbl website or their shop. Any idea where to get one?
