shaun stewart has re-signed with Mandurah.

Slammers have Voelkel, Livingston, Lay and McIlroy, nothing beyond that

Have East Perth signed anyone???

Forde apparently has promised he is going young with this team. No money to get Wildcats players so putting faith on Murphy, Donlagic and Berry to become the next batch to lead the team. Sunday Dech also to return. Mentioned they'll go two big guys for imports.

yep. Jordan Wellsteed joining them too. Be really interested to see how he goes with considerably more playing time.

Definitely lost Easley? Where's he gone now?

Jack Isenbarger back at Lightning

Did East Perth just get rid of Easley or has he gone elsewhere?

Expect Lakeside to bring in a 3 man import to go longside Vigor and Prue.

^^^^. This needs to stop

Blatant sexual discrimination

Word on the street is Redhage has also departed the Redbacks

This coincides with the departures of
Michael Vigor
Jackson Hussey
Maurice Barrow

Rumor is also that Wagner will not play this season.

What is happening over in Belmont?

Wagner gone and Ben Smith has retired

Redhage was available to whoever was going to help him with getting his basketball clinics revved up. He approached a few of the bigger clubs.

Im sure CJ will be thrilled to have Redhage at Perry Lakes then

Redhage ≠ Hawks

^^ who are fringe hawks players leaving?

Suns have 2 imports, they were teammates in college

Will Vague be back in Eagles colours this season?

Hawks made a good decision not paying selling the farm for Redhage.

Have there been any low key signings anybody thinks will make an impact this year?

Tigers signing local pair Jackson Hussey and Michael Garbellini.

Someone mentioned low key signings to watch, and based on what i've read already the ones i would be interested in seeing

Travis Durnin at Mandurah - can he continue the climb from last season.
Jordan Wellsteed at East Perth - likely to get much more minutes, MIP candidate?
Ask Litterick at Perth - if rumours true everyone leaving redbacks, he'll be more a focus of the offence than he was at Stirling.
Wani Swaka at Stirling - best of the bunch.

^^^ have you ever heard of punctuation?

Hawks looking to sign an 2018 import.

^^do you mean Manylok Malek? If so, no, he was not the QBL's rebounding leader

Collective hearts are breaking across the WA basketball
community
Tonight. :(

thoughts and prayers to the Exeter family.

Ex as he was commonly known was a great player in our league and had a huge impact on those around him

A very sad loss to our community

RIP Anthony Exeter

Carlwell is an Aussie. They haven't announced their import yet.

Ray Turner signed as a 3rd import for the Sydney Kings.... interesting to see how he goes.

Hawks going with 1 import plus Brian.

Another Centre, will be interesting to see how they play with each other. 2 genuine 7 footers

genuine centres * not 7 footers

Lakeside adding Kyle Armour, Mike Vigor and Jake Burston/Whately gives them a few older wiser heads they were lacking last year to go along with Prue 2x imports and Mackenzie. Could be very interesting

Jake burston mentioned in the same sentence as wiser

Rumour mill is that Kyle Sovine, who played for the Giants in 2018, is heading to Hawks. Championship team keeps on getting better

Sovine is signed. Hawks now have some serious front court depth and versatility.

Sovine is signed. Hawks now have some serious front court depth and versatility.

Lakeside won't be anywhere as good as they were last season. They had two of the top 5 imports in the league last season. It’s bless they manage to find two as good as that they will struggle to back up last season success.

Issnbarger is already signed...so that's already half way, plus the addition of Vigor. I’d say they’re pretty close or better than last year. 1 import sport to find a 3-man...

Armour
Isenbarger
Import
Vigor
Prue
Mckenzie

Two new imports

I dont know if that line up is as good as last years

Isenbarger
Garbellini
Michaels
Alexander
Prue

Alexander would have had to have been in the MVP race.

Isenbarger will be coming off a major injury, will he be the same?

Garbellini is highly under rated for what he brings to a team

Michaels was legit. Is he returning?

Michaels signed with the Huskies

Shawn Michaels HBK

wolves wsbl announcement coming. looks like standish/ steindl.
wow ... what a huge team that will be.

8-9 legit starters.

Every bit of a 60k spend.
Nixy better win as he will have spent 2x and even 3x most teams!

#boughtnotbuilt

Hussey, Scott, Barrow, Hymon, Elder, Garbellini, Black....good for 4th maybe 5th, still lacking genuine height and shot blocking. :(

Surely defensive team of the year though, Hussey Scott Hymon and Barrow could all make first team

If rumours are true with the Wolves men's roster.
WOW.
People going to find it very hard to contend with that squad!
Only saving grace is Etto’s form in finals.

What are the rumours of the men's roster?

Wolves Secure Kayla Steindl

#7444 what is the point of your post if your not going to spill on the rumours outside of saying well if the rumours are correct blah blah - if you know something spill the beans

could wolves fit clint in the salary cap?
i suppose they could if they get him to do 20k of 'development work' along with the coaches.
it seems that 2019 is the year of the accusers becoming the perps.

the big bad wolf

#7444 what is the point of your post if your not going to spill on the rumours outside of saying well if the rumours are correct blah blah - if you know something spill the beans

Sorry thought was common knowledge
.
Yes Clint will be joining the Wolves.

Done deal, he is playing at Wolves.

So gives them a potential starting 5

Camidge
Davis
Steindl
Ross
Trian

That is tough as hell, of course not one Wolfpak junior in there, and 4 starters that were not even in the GF losing team.

But hey #BUILTNOTBROUGHT

when was 'actual knowledge' of anything SBL a prerequisite for this forum? ...

What is restricted cap?
How many mins @ NBL?

Just when you think Wolves can't get any more douchey they do a press release written internally quoting anonymous external people -

"in what is being externally described as perhaps the League's most carefully-constructed, highly-talented Women’s SBL roster in several years."

Is it possible to roll your eyes so much that they get stuck and you blind yourself?

So Clint Steindl is playing 13 mins a game for the Wildcats. So would that make him a restricted player?

Isn't restricted status now 15 mins?

He is playing at the wolves, not sure why you dont listen!

Ok, he is unrestricted.
Wife at the club.
They have $$$.

Tell me why it doesnt work?

Is there some way we can bet on this??

You must remember, that you can approach the SBL for special approval.
As the games when CS played big minutes was due to injuries.

When they have full squad he is averaging only 7.7mins per game

According to nbl website CS is av 13.72 min a game this season
He is averaging 7.4 min per game this calendar year (last 4 games)
So if he continues to be out of favour with Gleeson and his mins remain low , he will defiantly be under 14 min a game if that is the cut off for restricted player

if that gets approved you may as well throw the guidelines out the window

Its happened before (Corban Wroe).
Precedent has been set!

Cut off I thought wads 25% game time?
So 10mins, maybe that has changed.

But yes calender year, plus injury clause etc.
Loop holes everywhere.
Dont worry he is at the wolves.

sbl restricted player policy says 35% of available court time at conclusion of round 13 of NBL
so that is av 14 mins a game up to end round 13, so maybe he was over then?

Yeah but couple games wildcats had injuries.
Hence mins increased.

Dont worry we need Wolves strong to make GF!

Good old Wolfpack.

All the gear, no idea (how to win championship games)!!

"in what is being externally described as perhaps the League's most carefully-constructed, highly-talented Women's SBL roster in several years."

a question to the forum ... what WSBL team in recent years has spent more?

are they the first to hit the WSBL salary cap?

can someone post the link to this press release?

http://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page.cgi?client=1-892-0-0-0&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=64367101

Amazing the cap of some clubs, then you have other that cant afford 1 import.
Crazy!

wolves women for the first time in forever have the same cap as the mens team, and they arent about to waste this opportunity to splurge

The strength of the wolf is in the cheque book!

it's a known fact that the Lady Wolves have not been spent on by anywhere near as much as the men's team ever

"does anyone on here (apart from Lukosius as an SBL administrator) actually know what any club's salary cap spend is??"

those who actually know are not divulging such info on this shyt forum

the cap is 60k per team. That is common knowledge. The Wolves womens team would be close to that, which is the first in a long while.

They aren't doing anything wrong, management has given them open reign within the confines of the bylaws.

Kalamunda men going with Joshua Braun as their import from Grand Canyon, Dan Alexander's old school I believe?

Second import for Lightning is Mike Wright 6-1" GUARD from NW Nazarene, player under coach Dave Daniels in Canada. Interesting Lakeside going with 2 imports at PG, maybe Isenbarger moves to a SG roll? Armour backup PG?

sort of makes sense as Vinci, Bell, Garbellini all gone.

Isenbarger**
Shervill
Vigor
Prue

Armour
Mackenzie

Very thin team, better off with a SF import IMO.

Cougars import Joshua White, 6-1" guard. Bounced around Asia and Europe, and Big V in 2015. v average

Julian Pesava to redbacks, he's been killing it in Germany. It will be interesting to see how he goes. #gingergang

Coaching might not see that team make playoffs. Jay Bowie is a top 5 import in this league, no doubt - proven. Salmon, yeah looks decent, but might be swimming against the current with a very new squad.

[Julian Pesava to redbacks, he's been killing it in Germany. It will be interesting to see how he goes. #gingergang]

In the regionalliga. Not to sound like a d**k but its literally the 4th division. They have German BBL, then ProA which we've had imports like Jordan Wild and Lee Roberts play in, then ProB and then Regionalliga. So he'll be good but to say his killing it is a bit overkill.

The ginger ninja aka mangoes would eat the SBL alive the way it's looking he’s about to set the league on fire I’m betting for him to average 30+

Cougars import Joshua White, 6-1" guard

Cant see why Cougars would get an import guard??
They need a big rebounder/scorer.

Its post like the one above that make this thread a joke.


Wake me up when some actual meaningful is talked/debated about on here!

Wellstead, Leary and some other SW kid heading to EP too

Dech isn't going to be at EP according to EP players. Unless something has changed in the last few days don’t expect him to be there.

Ywaste10bucks (aka Cameron)

'It's not hard. Get of yr arses and raise some funds' ... cmon mate!

... it must be a bit easier to raise funds (to max the sbl sal cap) with 6 paid staff and 500++ domestic teams.
a new shiny stadium and supportive and large local council would also help a bit i reckon

but not all clubs are that lucky n most clubs out there have bands of volunteers flogging themselves doing what you simply pay people to do.

I think clubs are well and truly off their arses and maybe need to be respected a little more for them competing in the way they do . despite having far less than u ... esp cause you keep losing to them!

#greenarroganceisugly #gangrene

And instead of using all that work to develop basketball players and add to the overall talent level and entertainment quality of the league they have a joke of a WABL program and just purchase players from other locations.

here we go again - off track on topic and EGO driven.
please see WSBL thread

Clubs with new facilities/upgrades or pending:
Willetton
Joondalup
Stirling
Mandurah
Rockingham
Cockburn (pending)


Clubs that have paid staff:
Willetton
Joondalup
Stirling
Mandurah
Rockingham
Cockburn
Perry Lakes

Clubs that are generally seen to be professional:
Willetton
Joondalup
Stirling
Rockingham
Perry Lakes

join the dots. you need to invest to improve.

Add Lakeside to the paid/staff professional list.

Just wish everyone was on a fair playing field.
Each team gets 2 imports.
Would be nice.

Add Lakeside to all three categories

You forgot the well paid General Manager at Redbacks

I would be adding Mandurah into the professional group.
have done an outstanding job in the last 2-3 seasons to turn around a large debt and are moving forward rapidly.
have a great facebook social media forum and would have to be up there with one of the largest domestic competions in the state.
keep up the good work Mandurah magic.

so the common denominator of being seen as 'professional' is having lots of available courts and a huge domestic competition.
They are the ones that can invest and improve.

its sad that SBL has become more about $$ spend and great recruitment rather than developed talent and loyalty . players shopping themselves around and clubs trying to keep up!

its becoming very bought not built

Disagree all you want, Stirling brought in Josh and Kristy, got 4 new courts and radically changed Stirlings junior program.

Joondalup brought in Cam and Ryan, who lobbied local government hard and got new courts, rebrand etc

Redbacks brought in Christian and are moving to a brand new facility in South Perth 2021.

Willetton invested in a CEO, new courts being built this year.

Rockingham brought in Warren, and he has a sponsor list longer than Big Mac added ingredients

Even Cockburn has invested in Tyrone. New courts on the way.

Invest in human resource - reap rewards.

That isn't a dig at the tireless volunteers at smaller Associations, they move heaven and earth to make their programs work. It is up to their disconnected boards to start waking up pay their staff who have been taken for granted for too long. The sport has evolved past that. East Perth and Kalamunda have amazing catchment areas; no reason why they can’t keep up.

Stirling Senators now Warwick Senators!

whats chalky doing nowadays?

So what young kids are playing for East Perth? Assuming it's most Wildcats DP's and training players in academy? Just a few names if people know

East Perth picked up a DP from the 36ers too

Who is that from the 36ers? Caleb Davis?

Bijan has been announced as signed by North Adelaide in the SA leagur
