Ben Smith to the Slammers. Wasn't meant to be back in 2017, should get done this year

Crawford is based in perth, so the commute to rocko is not sustainable. there will be a new flames women's coach

C. Francis

Crawford is based in perth trip to rockingham unsustainable" spare me " please. he will coach again.
senators were a rabble on Friday night - they had no offensive structure at all , all 1-1 rat ball , roscoes shot selection was shocking. well done rocko bring on 2020.

Ben had to go.
4 in a row no one can go on like that.

What a guy.
Oh well he made some amazing history.

Milked the list.

Time to get out.

both Mandurah coaches have been retained in aaron trahair and craig watts.

interstate players who play for the giants always only last one season

Mansfield finishes up at the lightning.

Interesting Giants, who are the 7 players are leaving and why? You must know why if you have heard that.

my information is that the goldfields giants players had no respect for wayne creeks coaching ABILITY .therefore this team was lucky to get were they did because of how smart there leadership group was . bowie,holloway,humphries etc.
the giants board have decided to stick with the coach and not listen to the players and are know going to loose quality players and people.
sometimes you need to listen to the players- look at the rockingham women.

hold up everyone, this forum has been infiltrated by the players. RUN!

My information tells me someone out there has an issue with the Giants and is trying to stir the pot.

Mandurah magic are far from the worst club in w-a. you BK have you been down to Mandurah on game night . it is in the top 2 or 3 if not the best venues and well attend games. they are doing a lot better than most clubs

the magic men are a basket case team going nowhere ever. their best season is still their inaugural season in 1990 - that is abysmal. the women's team on the other hand are perennial grand final chokers

sure the club gets fans to games - there is not a saturated market in mandurah

time to retire perthworld

Tribute to Benny Dover - Rating the Chokes

No.4 - 2017
If I can give Ettridge a tiny tiny break, is that this was more a 50/50 game I didn't think they were the strong favourites in this game.
Bet365 thought otherwise, and they weren’t just beat they were absolutely embarrassed in what was one of the biggest lopsided GF games in SBL history.
The game was effectively over by quarter time. Not even a sniff.
With Ben refusing to make any changes or adjustments he sat back and watching his team sink without a yelp. Pathetic.


No.3 - 2019
The running stoush with Buccs Skipper Moot, only adds to this story.
Ben attacked the Buccs organisation during a regular season game in 2018, only to poach the very same player he was condemning in the offseason.
#builtnotbrought was turned on its head as Benny did everything he could to buy his way out of a 4 peat.
To blatantly bag out a team, only then to do the exact same thing means Ben actually fielded 1 wolves player in his top 7 players.
So as Minor Premiers shaping up to a Bucc’s team on the road, recently sending home an import, and getting destroyed by one of the players he bagged (MVP – Hunt) and let down by the one he poached (Ross) was an all-time classic.

No.2 – 2016
Losing the final regular season game and conceding the minor premiership, Benny then felt compelled to tell anyone and everyone that would listen that "we will see what happens in the Grand Final".
When word broke that when Cougars lost captain and best player Gav Field, Benny boy’s talking and confidence grew louder and louder as he was eyeing back to back championship’s, the shirts and hats were ordered.
What transpired was anything but, again a contest over early with Benny refusing to shake hands and smash his white board in full view of the crowd.

No.1 – 2018
Hawks losing stud import Holmen in the Semi-finals, left the Hawkies right for the picking, Wolves starting as the unbackable favourites, the result seemed a foregone conclusion, all the Wolves had to do was turn up.
However after losing 2 in a row, external pressure was building on the Wolfpack, but no one had any idea the mental demons Ben was facing inside, his kool aid he was drinking was going sour.
With Ben clearly struggling they went on to lose the unloseable of games, and the greatest upset in SBL history was set.
Losing to a Domestic team of Perry Lakes juniors the unthinkable happened and handed Benny boy his 3 peat.
Wolves should have won this game by 20pts with one hand behind tied behind their backs.

I am a massive Wolves fan. My observation for the past 2 Grand Final games have been both the Hawks and the Buccs took their intensity up another notch. The Wolves just seemed to be in cruise mode and not play with the same sort of passion as the eventual victors.

"In devastating news" lol wtf cougars, I thought he had died

their a weird bunch down in cockburn

Barr WSBL MVP; Braun MSBL MVP

So does Ettridge go from 5 consecutive GF appearance to not coaching in the SBL next season?

So now its all said and done which players / coaches are on the move.

Expect Lakeside to look for an aussie PG to join with Kyle out most if not all of next year.

some interesting selections for WSBL

how does ambar land and lauren Mansfield get in over maddie allen and casey miholovich in the all-star 5 .look at the votes and finishing positions.

MVP voting is floored. Not true indication.

Anyone following the AUBU?

Fun league - well organised. Some SBL talent and decent players. As well as some really average and terrible players.

Great community backed league. Something different.

Mansfield played what 9-10 games , hardly a solid season and worthy of an all-star 5 in my opinion . team finished outside the top 8.

is there a better PG in the league than Mansfield?

Was she not eligible for selection in the all star 5?

Ive watched Michael Jordan play once in person, I've watched Kyle Armour play 50 times in person, I would select Jordan as the better player

miholivich - 14.6pg 4.6rb 4.8ast - 2nd position - all star 5 defence

Mansfield - 14.3pg 4.2rb 5.4ast - 9th position.


just sayin !!

Etto not showing up to Wolves awards yesterday was a bit of a disappointment. Hope he had a decent excuse.

Would you show your face after 4 in a row?

hahaha Klasztorny you are off your tree, no way is Milo better than Mansfield

Mandurah 2nd position - Coach of the Year
Redbacks 9th position - Inexperienced coach

similar seasons stats and they play the same position. They must have played each other during the season at least once, which team won and who won the matchup.

enuff said !!

Does anyone no where Ben-Dover is?

Re giants. Will be interesting to see the fall out.

I have it on good authority a massive chunk of those players or the main nucleus are in serious doubt of returning if not gone already for various reasons. Anything else said on here which states otherwise is just lip service.

Haha love this bit - 'call me' so I can update you on the actual state of affairs as they would be ‘completely different to what you think’

It’s actually worse than what most would think.

So the Giants win 14 games and move from the bottom of the ladder in 2018 and it's a disaster.

Moose says it's from Lukosius, Lukosius say it's different to what's allegedly been said and Anon keeps telling stories.

It's got to be coming from somewhere.

i wonder if someone asked Donald trump what he thought of his political campaign, what would he say?

You guys don't stop do you. The season is literally done, no one cares

Well done Ty Thwaites appointed himself as coach of Cougars WSBL

Andrew Cooper announced as Cougars MSBL coach

The Thwaites thing may not be done yet and shouldn't of been written like that but I think it is fair enough to speculate on it.

They open the positions in August with him running the process for both men and women ending in Coops being appointed men's coach.

They now re-open the women with the expressions to go to the President. It definitely creates a process and pathway for him to apply for it.

Will be interesting to see where Nener ends up now that he is out at Cockburn. he did well with what he had to work with.
Coops will do well there and will be interesting to see if any rocko boys follow him there. Travers?

Rumours swirling that Ettridge could be linked with another SBL club for 2020 season

Will be interesting to see how Tigers go with their recruiting in the offseason. Barrow didnt exactly set the world on fire for them and their second import situation didnt work out for them. Will they go with the model of trying to attract imports from other clubs or try to recruit out of the US?

CJ Jackson in at the Redbacks will be interesting. You can imagine he will be able to recruit a few guys there. Does he look at Redhage and Roberts returning?

Who do lakeside get to replace Kyle?
Do they back isenbarger in for another season and retain Wall?

Wolves. do salinas and illiadis go around again? Does Ross return? Davis?

Hopefully Coops has a budget to work with.

I love the support staff too!

GO COUGS!!!

who is Andrew coopers support staff.

Fluer MAc/Grant Davey/Mark Clayton

From who i have heard Cockburn interviewed for the Womens SBL job I am amazed they have re advertised

some pretty qualified and experienced coaches were in the mix

you can only imagine this next process is just a formality and they have their person in mind!

im hearing the afl finals format is on the cards for the sbl next year; no more 3-game series

lol tim tam

no

I don't really know what tyron thwaites has done coaching wise ?
can some-one who knows what he has does please highlight his creds.
I also see he is coaching the u-18 country womens side? there would have been some serious contenders for that role

I know Cougars had 1 of the best upcoming coach apply and was rejected I dont know if it is Thwaites but they obviously have someone specific they will announce to reject

They also had an applicant with a long history as an assistant and previously as a head coach won more games in a single season than Cougars have in the last three seasons combined.

Oh so cryptic I love it.
How bout they also had an applicant who has a masters degree in coaching and has already won SBL championships as well as seabl and NBL experience

So if they had that amazing applicant why re-open it, just give them the job.

Ettridge would never set foot in the door at Coburn!!
They also would not be unlocking it for him!!!~

Thwaits won a bronze medal as head coach of wa metro at U16 nationals with a loaded roster including luke travers, luke jackson and wani swaka

Why all the hate for Tyrone.
What am I missing?

He doing great things down at Cockburn, passionate, pro-active, junior development, WABL, domestic, everything is on the up since he become GM.

SBL is not but lets be honest SBL not a high priority, they actually had SBL program in the black for first time in a long long time.

He gets off his bum and gets things done, or at least tries to make a difference.
Should be a lot more people out there like him.

Issue is more bout people who toot their own horn.
Lako
Etto
Tyrone

Stay humble

Ohhh come on cant put him with those 2!!!

Wolves empire crumbling

wildcats team was not agreed to by the clubs; that wont be happening

4 peat

Just out of curiosity, who were the "pretty qualified and experienced coaches" that interviewed/presented for the Cockburn WSBL job.

signed until 2022!

Stu Burger

all good Cockburn wanted Tyrone to coach, odd that they go from a players girlfriend to the GM of the club, very incestuous but its the clubs choice IMO What is puzzling is that they got Tyrone to run the interviews, why a club allows someone who wants the job to run interviews is mind boggling and disrespectful to the applicants

Cougar family

New Finals model for 2020

https://www.facebook.com/WA.SBL/posts/2686930254659077

New finals procedure to make it seem like we are following suit is crap. It basically means shock losses do not count for anything anymore, because that team will still get a second chance. It was the whole win or go home that was exciting about the SBL finals.

Then, to top it off they still have a one game grand final, like a bunch of morons. They make it out like teams aren't competing throughout the year, so it makes the regular season that more competitive. NO!!! teams always compete to get 1st seed for home court advantage.

Lol I'm sure they should of contacted the three keyboard heroes here to get the "expert" opinions.

is there any news on the vacant coaching positions available in the league at the moment. wolves men , lightning women in particular

Charles Nix

how do you get a second chance in the old format? it was a best of three series, whoever won the series you went through. No Second chances, you had to prove you were the better team than the one you were competing against. Not lose and then end up playing another team from the other side.

It's a big shame that two teams loose out on finals
Dollars. Means a lot to most clubs.
Is there to be any compensation offered ?

Nixy about to 5th team in 5 years

Exactly if you lose one game of a best of three, you arent out but punished, then it means that team then has two win one more to prove they are the better team. In this new format a team can get lucky once against a team who may just have their number when it comes to match ups but then loses the next game to a team that has their number.

They might never play each other again.

So lets say for all questionable purposes:
Wolves match up really well against Hawks but poorly against Buccs.
Buccs don't match up well against Flames.
Buccs play Wolves first round and beat them.
Gero gets a break.
The next round they face Rockingham and lose one game and are out of the playoffs.
Joondalup lose first round, get a second chance against Perry lakes and they beat perry lakes. They then don't face that same team they lost to in the first round, they play a different team and make the finals. why should Joondalup make the finals if they were not suited to beat Geraldton in a best of three, or have the ability to make changes.

It gives no teams a chance to strategise and make changes within in a series. That is the part that shows good teams and good coaches. Not going on a great run against teams u may match up well against on one day. You had to prove over the course of three games, you were the better side and earn that next round to the max.

Lol at the Hypotheticals!?

What is a number one seed wins game one but then all there players get food poisoning and lose game 2 and the 3 the next week when they could of had a bye round and recovered in time for the next game.

Stupid

It's done move on..
You want to win a champions play winning basketball. Why reward the opportunity to lose a game ?
Higher seed gets home court and a first round second chance. That’s more than enough incentive to not lose and if they do then tough

So has this been arranged by lazy refs who want
potentially less finals to ref

Yes. Could be 19 games, to 9.
With that much fewer spectators and cash for the clubs.

Thoughts on this off-season competition being sponsored by Varsity Bar? Some good names in there, but a lot of divi 1 scrubs as well. Surely it can't compete with Lakeside A grade comp

is that the comp being held at bendat?

Any truth to the Wortho rumour?

What is the Wortho rumour???

He has been strongly linked as the new Slammers men's coach

Would be massive for that club. Would he have any recruiting power to make that side a contender again.

Hopefully he can teach that team how to run an effective outlet middle lane.

Where has any of this been spoken about or published

What is an "effective outlet middle lane"?

Ok then. So will Worthington be confirmed very soon for those
In the know?

teach us more anyone, on the E O M L.
We all need to learn!!

So Wortho ain't the Slammers coach but they have someone locked away and I believe it’s an upgrade (yes it’s not much)

Etto to east perf.. heard it here first

Someone gotta spill who the Slammers have though it's a big role. Name drop.

E O M L

Etto to EP and who to the Slammers????

SBL threads are lame aren't they Perthworld.

Slammers going after Ben Smith again

Who's out at Perry Lakes other than BC?

surely no one will pick up carlwell... he's been ass for a long time now

Wortho spotted in Bunbury, also reports of him talking to players around the league about playing for Slammers. Coaching rumour looks spot on.

Can confirm he was in attendance but I scored a couple of points and didn't have a chat??? Snubbed again

Would be a good get as coach for the club you'd think.

BC will be at Perth along with Tevin.

Who's gonna come play for Wortho

So Worthington almost a lock at Slammers? What other coaching spots are left on the men's side of things?

Makes sense for Worthington to go home.
Always wanted him at the Wildcats but we were spoilt having Redhage.

Wonder why they haven't confirmed it though? Is it 100% done?

any word on the new wolves coach

parsons and francis to the wolves
Worthington a lock for slammers job
luke travers to Cockburn
durnin to rockingham
hunt to leave buccs and go east

"parsons and francis to the wolves" hahahahahaha

Parsons and Francis have parted ways on the court. BC and Jackson with CJ.

hey anon# 125, if you actually read (not between the lines but the actual lines) you would have read Ettridge had been appointed to the East Perth job for 3 years!

Worthington announced as Slammers coach. Wonder if BWA assisting with $$$$ here given BWA CEO has been running the Slammers this year?

eagles coaches announcement https://www.facebook.com/EPDBA/posts/2634849946538554

Wortho Slammers announcement

Solid signings across the board

Who will Wortho bring across from other teams?

Worthington will struggle to get players to the club. I doesnt matter who coaches them its about location.

If they coming from over east it doenst matter where the club is based.

So anyone heard any names as yet or still too early? For Slammers

Conrad to wolves confirmed

wolves going for that extra special 5 peat

So the wolves hired a big v coach as their coach and ceo

wolves will need to do some recruiting and quickly.

Ettridge now with Eagles and word is that a couple of wolves key guys will follow him there. huntington and illiadis potentially in that mix

salinas another year older

no emerging juniors that look like they would be ready to fill shoes of some of the vet guys.

perhaps we might see some Big V guys coming across ?

Surely Trigger looks to move into a head coach role this season?

Hearing Wortho is going for a few NBL type players and no imports for this season. No idea who though

Going for NBL players as imports would be a mistake

They might not be established NBL players, might be guys on the cusp like Tevin Jackson, Lochy Cummings, even older guys that were former DP's now veteran SBL guys. Doesn’t necessarily mean they are replacing imports and playing as such

Smart move for Etto.

Go to club with the lowest expectations.
Take the pressure of himself, no doubt he would be feeling the heat after 4 fails in a row.

He knows with an injection of funds and better recruiting they can easily push the eagles up the ladder.

End of the day your health is the most important thing.

He can have a relaxed and free hit in 2020.

Yeah i know, but these days days....

The guy is a douche bag no doubt there, but still 4 losses in a row had to be affecting him..
Not sure that's been done any where else in the world at any level (semi-pro).

Anyone smart moe going to East Perth...
Only way is up, with no pressure.

^^^^^. So does this mean he's going to stop screeching at the refs and their coach like a demented banshee.
Stop disrespecting the opposition players and coaches.
Stop treating the score bench like slaves.

And also stop
Being a complete dick. ???

he closed up in July

Simple as he got a new job and doesn't have the time to run it anymore. Takes a lot of time and energy to run camps/clinics/tours consistently

Daniel Johnson to play for willetton again at some point over the next few years

"As for his future, Johnson sees no possibility in him playing for any other NBL club than the 36ers the rest of his career and while Adelaide is always likely going to be home for him, a stint back at his original club Willetton is a possibility.

The lure of playing in the brand new Willetton Basketball Stadium is something that is something that he wants to experience at some point, he's just not sure when."

https://www.adelaide36ers.com/news/article/dj-reaches-250-for-36ers-now-300-in-nbl

will be interesting to see how ettridge recruits from here if he cant get any of the old wolves guys to move

a few depatures on the goldfields with both dave Humphries and Brendan Holloway leaving to play in south Australian premier league.

lukousis ? comment please . what about pat burke

Humphries gone, Holloway gone, Burke gone, Bowie gone. Unsure on Manylok. 4/5 starts leaving not a good sign

i bet bowie wishes he didnt head back to kal

humphries and holloway gone
bowie gone
club wanted to retain burke but his season finishes late. could be moving in a different direction
manylok has signed

word is ballantyne from mandurah has signed with giants and will join klaztorny

Yikes. At least kal had a successful year last season. Back to the bottom unfortunately unless they get 2 stud imports and some quality aussies. Tough ask

then there is the " creek factor " but I cant say that because I become a hater. players enjoy playing for coaches who inspire them motivate them and teach them - creek has none of that. this many quality players don't leave all at once unless there is a determining " ----- factor "

etto, lako and ty pretty much bring it on themselves by how they operate and go about things. Creek is a different situation. Couldnt meet a more humble genuine guy.

Lets be honest, before he took over the team they were horrible. actually they were absolutely horrible.

he made them legit again. they made the playoffs his first season back in the role. something the 7-8 coaches before him were not able to do.

HA HA HA HA !!

pg- Holloway

sg- bowie

sf- Humphries

pf- manylok

c- burke

HE made them legit again, my grandma could have taken this team to the playoffs - no disrespect grandma
imagine if nener,trahair etc were handed this squad and budget.

sorry ANON - those 5 players must be up in Kalgoorlie to improve their game under creek ,and enjoy the scenery.
hit a soft spot ANON.

Right who's the next target of this forum. How about Mandurah who apparently losing Durnin, Ballantyne amongst other. Can they even feild a team

mandurah best local is riley parker

**BREAKING NEWS**

Big news out of Kalgoorlie-Boulder this evening, Goldfields Giants captain and backup point guard Daniel Forlano has announced he will be leaving the club in pursuit of a professional Australian rules football career.

Considered a local legend, Daniel has been a mainstay of the Giants roster.

"It was a tough decision in all honesty. But at the end of the day, two fiddy is two fiddy, and to get that every week to kick a ball around isn't bloody bad" Forlano said.

Although he is content with his decision, Forlano hasn’t ruled out a return to the Goldfields.

“The goldfields is a wonderful place to live. It has it all, subway, nandos, and the world famous Goldbar. What more could you ask for?”

Couldn’t have said it better myself Daniel, good luck champ.

Forlano, new job in Perth been trying to go home for a coupla years now no secret there.

not bad Anonymous, you could challenge pikey and write pieces for the sbl

Daniel who ?? local legend , goldfields captain .

whats with GMs at clubs appointing themselves as head coaches?

two hats = less salary output

Durnin announced signed with Flames, slowly creeping up the highway; Bunbury > Mandurah > Rockingham

Steve Bezant takes control of the Lady Lightning, many years Mens SBL assistant, potentially his first go with the female athletes which will be an eye opener for him, all coaching roles now filled

travis " soft as putty " durnin. - something is not right down in Mandurah for this to happen.

two hats = less salary

or

two hats = get paid more

durnin is a legend. great pickup for them

rocko will need extra tissues and band aids in their first aid kit this season.

best way to get a HC gig in WSBL these days

Get a GM gig, wait a few years and then appoint yourself as HC

Why do you think GM's can appoint themselves? You know its Presidents and boards making these decisions right? If anything its harder for the GM to get the job. Boards are shit scared of the reaction.

Boards are shit scared of the reaction.

obviously not. 2 GMs have just been appointed as HC a matter of weeks apart

"obviously not. 2 GMs have just been appointed as HC a matter of weeks apart"

And more would have been if they weren't worried about it.

Spectator I'm actually pretty familiar with that situation. Three people collated, reviewed and considered the applications at Cockburn. For both the Mens and Womens jobs. They set the interviews and I believe they attended them. The GM was only one of the those people.

I could be wrong of course.

Enough talking about the coaches. What players are on the move this year? How are all of the teams shaping up for next year?

Its WSBL guys..
Who actually cares.

^^^^. What a PIG.

scherf to the wolfpack .

lets be honest, Ross should be in the nba anyway

To the bloke who said its WSBL, you must be really proud of yourself, you are so macho everybody is impressed! Scherf to Wolves would be too much..

What makes you think it was a bloke?
That's a bit sexist.

But serious start another threat for WSBL so people don't get spammed.

"Earnest Ross dropped 18 from the bench on debut for the South Bay Lakers"

Ross didnt play in South bay's season opener? He was DNP... Their next game is Thursday our time

https://gleague.nba.com/games/20191109/OKLSBL/

ahh right, he had 18 in their preseason game

https://gleague.nba.com/games/20191102/SBLNAS/

Who is Scherf???

Koberulz,

When I see forum heading WA SBL, I just assume its men's.

Same when I see an AFL forum, I assume its mens.
I dont expect to read about AFLW.

Same when I see an NBA forum, I assume its mens.
I dont expect to read about WNBA.

Anyway only my opinion.

Moose no need to be like that.
When I read a SBL forum I only care for the Men's league.
That is ok.

I dont read WNBA threads or AFLW threads for same reason.

Would u be annoyed if u went to watch NBA on tv only to find it was WNBA?

Kobe,
they don't have same teams
Gero and Kal don't have a WSBL team

They didnt all form at same time
Lakeside, Slammers, and Mandurah had MSBL teams before they had WSBL teams and Rocko had a WSBL team years before a MSBL team.

Kobe who cares when they were formed etc

Its still very misleading..

When you see SBL, 99% of general public think of Mens SBL.

If u click on a new article saying STAR AFL Eagles player out for the year, when you click on the feed and see a Eagles AFLW player surely that's a little misleading...

The reason that this is connected is because the SBL community is very connected. Coaches and managers are/have been often part of both competitions, players have partners/friends/siblings in the league due to the club/community nature of the competitions. The referees generally have involvement with both leagues and as do administrations, sponsors and volunteers. It is a minor inconvenience for the people that are only interested in one of the leagues, there are however many more benefits than these slight inconveniences. The people groups mentioned above are a lot more important that the fan who is asking for a lot of the content to be removed, I hope that they can be humble and step back for a moment and understand this.

The website serves both genders at the same address under SBL branding.
The radio show the same.
Same social media locations for each gender.
Same offseason forum thread seems logical. How hard is it to scroll down a page if you don't want to read!?

I just like pointing out when kobe has his facts wrong like he does to everyone else

Sooooo......who is this Scherf that is headed to the Wolfpack???

Lewis Thomas to Willetton

Anyone know anything about Slammers new signing Jay Washington? I see he's played in Australia before but is he still restricted?

Washington played for Toowoomba is 2017

https://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/new-neer-has-big-ambitions/3141641/

He hasn't had an amazing career, nor has he played in high-level leagues...

And is Chudier interested in playing down South, or has he accepted the offer?

Chudier would be huge for the Slammers. Just a couple more decent bugs and a stud import wing could have them set to at least improve by a long way

Anyone know when Perry Lakes trials or trainings are??

Or any sbl team for that matter??

hawks have started preseason training already

Thanks for the reply. I saw that as well but no mention of times if anyone happens to know days/times.

tues & fri i think..

Awesome thanks. Appreciate the help. Been out of sbl for a year now with an injury and surgery and it's so hard to find any information on the sbl or club websites and fb pages.

If Chudier does decide to play, I think it will be the Redbacks.

Holmen retired...

Where will Carlwell go then? Still to Perth?

You'd think he’d go Perth over Slammers right?

Who else are the Slammers looking at?

Holmen will not be at the Hawks. Just another guess by someone who really hasn't a clue.

Anyone heard any rumours about that local Perth baller Ralph Papichino and his SBL chances as a potential Next Stars Prospect

word on the street has big Ben Smith making a return to the SBL for the Mandurah Magic

its been a few years since he was in the league but was definitely one of the better aussie bigs going around at the time.

it wont be enough to change their fortunes down there in magic land you would think but a good pick up none the less

Greg Hire expected to sign with a new (old) team very soon

adrian majstrovich player of the week in the Offseason

any chance he pulls the boots back on for a jordan-esque return to the league?

im sure he's sick of driving down to rocko 3-4 times a week...

Durnin signed with Rockingham to play with his hero Greg Hire. If he leaves, would it be too late for him to backflip

why bring wolves juniors to eagles when they already have some promising juniors coming through?

understand if they were established sbl players that eagles didnt have but doesnt seem to be the case.

Nathan grover gave dyer another opportunity and she played well for him!
3 rd club in 3 years as in import wow?

Nathan grover gave dyer another opportunity and she played well for him!
3 rd club in 3 years as in import wow?

Cant imagine any wolves juniors following Etto.
He didnt play them at Wolves, he played half of Stirling before his own juniors, heck he even went and got some Ross which was against "everything" he believed in.

4 times.

etto has an agent

Meh.

ricky would still be the best player on that roster if he decided to pull the boots on

Slammers will be big improvers in 2020, men's side will be decent enough again

why has the slammers men become decent again all of a sudden .
who has left the slammers women other than dyer.
