Will Tre Nichols be any good in SEABL or is he just a SBL star?

Caleb Davis to Stirling Senators.

tre Nichols will be a star in seabl as well. outstanding player .
is the restricted-non restricted list of players out already? (ellis ) what is the cut off for minutes.
what was it last year for NBL AND WNBL? does anyone know.

Lachlan Cummings to the Hawkpack

Tre wasnt even the best player on his team at Slammers.

Has Vague signed? He was mentioned as a target for the Hobart SEABL team in their media.

Going to need to break out the sponsors dollars if they are paying 2x import, Vague and Ellis. Even Coburn and Litterick could probably start to think about getting some $ to move.

Caleb Davis had already been linked to Hobart before signing with Stirling. Anyone have any idea what to expect from him?

Expect he will be Littericks backup

Wow from nbl player to sbl backup. Yikes.

the restricted /non restricted ruling will have a bigger impact on the womens competition this year in wa.
with really only cody ellis , maybe we might see hire and a few other wildcats bench play SBL ? I cant see the ruling affecting the mens comp
the women however is different with kunek,burton probably being restricted but then there are a number of other girls on the fringe minutes wise . not sure about Edmondson, ash grant, Thompson, boag and im sure ive missed others. perhaps others coming from the east . this potentially could change a few teams if they become restricted/non restricted

we want the real stuff, where our weekly lakeside A grade men finals report?

Two close games last night see Most Legends and Party Flava through to the big dance.

PartyFlava with Redhage choked

Props to Most Legends.

A champion team will always beat a team of champions.

BET365 would have been paying $10's for that upset.
Well done!


Good to see someone break up the Coogee/Flava dominance.

Cougars looking at Carter Cook to return to the SBL, according to League sources. just sauce. no ketchup.

Parsons doing a bit of recruiting. Hawks signed Cummings and DT, and retain BC as an import Centre:

PG - DT
SG - Cummings
SF - Purser
PF - Monroe
C - Carlwell

Smith, O'Sullivan, Clarke and Hayto off the bench. Possible Adekponya

Slammers still with no coach and about 2-3 players

Josh Garlepp Is playing for Hawks as well. If BC can get his citizenship sorted there could potentially be another import as well.

didn't O’Sullivan move East? Pretty sure he’s not playing SBL anymore

Smith is better than Cummings he should start.

Smith and Cummings are both very good ballers and I am sure will rotate through starting spots with DT in a three way rotation between them all. Parsons will change line ups based upon who he's playing against. Carlwell could not start some games based on match ups.

Adekponya will end up where ever pays the most money plain and simple and I doubt Perry Lakes have those funds.

Carter Cook has a Geraldton girlfriend and he's an American. Still classed as import.

PL also have the young guard, he will need minutes!

Mitch Clarke will get minutes as well. Having 4 guards that can all rotate is a very positive sign especially if injuries occur.

People are bagging out Zone defence. If you can run a good zone, its actually harder than playing man to man. Syracuse which is known as one of the top schools in America live by the zone. Its all about personnel.

East Perth won a premiership playing Zone

whilst i realise this was originally a sledge at ES sbl coach, lets keep wabl chat to another thread and kes this for sbl

Clarke will start over DT for Hawks. Hes going to be up for MIP next season.

apology accepted

Hawks will need punches off the bench. Thomas isn't the same player as he was in his Buccs days, looks to distribute a lot more, so i think you will see Thomas start and control the game and then Clarke come on and provide uptempo spark when scorers come off.

In other news SBL RedBacks might not be getting Redhage back. Money has been thrown big at him from some clubs.

What other clubs

Suns

Lol if he goes to suns that would be hilarious

sure they do I hear its $25 a game for all at Suns

Timms also in talks with Lakeside again

Suns with Belger and Davis are going to be improved, no matter who the aussies are. Much better balance with two of the better imports in the league.

I would like to see Bucc's win a title.

They almost always get 2 x legit imports.
Over last 10yrs their recruiting would be near flawless.

So Im confident they can tick that box.

The fringe NBL guy they almost nail every time (apart from 2017).

Now what I want to see Bucc's do is get a couple good role players from the city.
Easier said then done I know, but they dont need to be stars.
Just solid hard working guys, who give u that depth.

I will put a list together tomorrow of players that can help them.

^^^ how very kind of you, cant wait until tomorrow!

Thank you.
Who is your team?
Ill also try help them ;-)

Voelkel announced back at slammers today

Where? Not on facebook page

If it has been announced, where? Source? That is a massive signing because Slammers are looking crap right now

Old timber can you clarify? Will Giants have a SBL AND D1 womens team? Or just D1?

Voelkel signing announced back page of local paper with quotes from Catalano

Voelkel coming back helps, but he's best when in a team of talent that he can create for. If the guys he is getting open looks for are average then he won't be as dominant.

It is awesome to see Giants committing to running a womens D1. Great sign

South Western Times I assume?

Huge for SBL D1 Women out of Kalgoorlie. Theyve done a lot for junior basketball in the last two years, with D1 Men and then D1 Women, an effort that can be best described as mammoth. Kalgoorlie isn't the booming town it used to be but they’ve developed some solid basketballers. As I understand a number of metro clubs aren’t happy with the addition, extra $$s. yet Goldfields travel to Perth 6 times a year...

Catalano quotes in the SW Times indicate they are narrowing in on a coach, the way he was talking it would be surprising if it was himself

Slammers just announced Carl Catalano as head coach

Who are the Goldfields bigs?

Have most teams locked in their imports now?

Hearing the Slammers have signed a 6'6 guard/forward fresh from College. No idea what division/team but have a guy lined up. Anyone have any idea about him?

No it's not Voelkel someone else

Billups back at Cockburn

Cougars - Billups + ? (Known to ride with 1 import only)
Eagles - ? + ?
Flames - ? + ?
Magic - ? + ?
Lightning - ? + ?
Eastern Suns - Davis + Belger
Redbacks - ? + ?
Hawks - Monroe + Carlwell
Tigers - Bowie + ?
Senators - ? + ?
Wolves - Benjamin + ?
Slammers - Voelkel + ?
Buccs - Barrow + ?
Giants - Sharpe + Sovine

Heard rumours of Land returning. Anyone I'm missing?
