There are no rules. It's not an SBL competition it’s basically a glorified domestic comp

clubs willing to pay those perth-based Americans were more than welcome to. They are literally playing for nothing.

^ The SBL championship, you numpty.

Telling someone you won the WCC will be no different to telling them you won wednesday night b grade.

Winning the SBL championship is clearly different to that.

Telling someone you won the WCC will be no different to telling them you won wednesday night b grade

"The fact that one of the more popular Academy's in this city is actually run by a guy who has purely a S&C background and nothing in the way of basketball qualifications or playing history, it says alot for the 'value' parents are willing to pay for"

There are a some around run by players who cant even get a gig with a WCC team. Scary

4 rounds in, what do people think so far? Is there going to be end of season awards at all?

Thoughts so far

its great to see basketball back and people getting around it.

well done to BWA to get WCC off the ground and provide an avenue for senior players to get back on the court

Malek from Giants is the front runner for MVP right now. He probably should be on an nbl roster somewhere with his size and skill set.

Elliott from Senators Rookie of the Year (I know in SBL they dont acknowledge a Rookie of the Year but it doesnt mean we cant haha)

Senators are my pick to win it
Hawks runner up

Matt Parsons coach of the year

Hawks runner up? Pull your head in, they got smashed by the young kids at lakeside a couple of weeks ago

Thanks Gavin for your incessant Elliott love

Hawks did get smashed by Lakeside but not entirely young kids when you consider Ferguson has 3 years at a D1 college under his belt, with Michael Vigor who is a pro level player and played in international competition, Corey Shervill who has 3 years at one of the best D2 college programs in the country under his belt and Rowan Mackenzie who is one of the best up and comers in the league and also off a red shirt year in college at a very good D2. Josh Davey also back from freshman year at same D2 College as Mackenzie. Palleschi into his 4th-5th season now so not exactly a kid.

Hawks then smashed Redbacks the next game who had Tevin Jackson and Caleb White both who have had D1 college careers and Dennis Tawhiti who is a veteran big.

Hawks also sit on top of the ladder at 5-1 and have the best coach in the league so maybe its not the most outrageous claim after all?

^^ Redbacks also had Marshall Nelson NBL experience

I dont think Nelson played that game but they still had enough to make more of a game of the end result 93-65 to the Hawks

^^ Nelson did play but struggled with foul trouble and otherwise had minimal impact

Hawks also without Smith for the Lakeside game

Can redbacks gel as a team?

"There are no rules. It's not an SBL competition it's basically a glorified domestic comp"


Yes there is you numpty! They are using fiba rules, the governing body of basketball with 3 officials for every game

Its a quality competition thats better than domestic, if every pro league worlwide falls into that same category youd be a real numpty to be calling them glorified domestic competitions. I wonder how Lebron James went in his glorified domestic game today lol

Most NBL ready in that comp right now....Shaq that is

Not convinced. He has inflated numbers against a few sub-par WCC teams to date.

Bloody hell, NBL?! Some of you seriously underrate how big the leap between the SBL and the NBL is. Hire averages damn near a 20/15/10 in the SBL. In the NBL hes 3/3

6'5 shooting guard that hits from a decent clip from deep......worthy of a look in the modern NBL. Not knocking Marshall or Hire and also not suggesting Shaq would be an NBL star but out of the WCC crop he is the most intriguing

Nelson doesnt crack NBL because of a lack of talent. he is an elite scorer. his ability to play in a system has been questioned both in the SBL and even more so in the NBL. This may have more to do with it than his individual ability. Heck, Nelson would murder Hire in a 1 on 1. probably win 20-0. But Hire can play in a system and do the grunt work and was a great team guy.

Malek is the real NBL talent in WA right now in my opinion. his size, athleticism and skill set would be so handy at that level. Thinking back to how Tom Jervis used to play in the SBL which went unrecognised for many years before getting his NBL opportunity, Malek for me could have a similar impact at that level. Not necessarily an NBL superstar but someone who more than belongs at that level. He seems to fit super well in the Giants system and Coach Creek is bringing out the best in him.

Jervis got his NBL start with Forde. And that's the unfortunate situation these guys find themselves in. They need someone to vouch for them and get a foot in the door.
Would Sunday Dech be where he is if it wasn’t for that same situation? You don’t have to go to far back when he was criticized for getting a DP spot back in 2013/14/15 while only averaging 6 points in SBL.
Travers and Wani are different as these guys played on Australian rep teams, so it’s not like they are a hidden gem. But Malek is going to have a long road, especially in a regional team without any direct NBL contacts.

Lako creates NBL talent

I think last nights game can put to rest any of the 'Shaq at nbl level' talk please. Daylight between him and Travers. Travers is 19? Shaq early to mid 20’s.
Let’s just appreciate the season for what it is.

I overheard the import for stirling telling some people at the game that the Wildcats are watching his games closely. He said he's confident he could kill it in the NBL. Anyone else think this has any possibility?

But he trains with Connelly ! This guy trains NBL talent like Lewis Thomas and Jackson Hussey

#coachblows

It's such a same to see established SBL players playing so many minutes in blowout games. Gero, Stirling, Wolves playing starters big minutes in games that are blowouts. While kids sit on the bench and watch. I thought this competition was supposed to be able playing the kids

Who are some young guys playing well that could get a look in as a Wildcats DP or training player??

A lot of names said to be nbl standard, let's pump the breaks. Many are averaging double they usual sbl numbers in this comp it’s a glorified domestic comp things change big time with imports on court

Lol jp

Nbl teams aren't looking for the best scorers in minor leagues. The already well established boomer level aussies and imports are there for the scoring at the next level.
Obviously would have some major flaws in his game compared to the next level.

Thanks Shaq

Travers a party boy? Have I missed something??

haha travers has no work ethic?

have you seen the transformation in his body? the kid has probably put on close to 10kg of muscle since joining the wildcats. im fairly certain you don't do that without a fair amount of hard work

Wow jp clearly you have a great eye for talent. Shaq is probably not making quite a few SBL teams let alone NBL teams lol. Enjoy him for what he is. A volume shooter on one of the worst Teams in the last 5 yrs in the comp.

obviously haven't seen Travers in person recently then JP

hes looking more like a man than a kid these days

Seems a very large gap between the top teams and the bottom teams.
40-50pt beltings.

haven't bothered with the competition but logs into the forum thread for the competition to tell us about it

lol Perry lakes choke job

Hence why parsons isn't COY, poor use of timeouts and had no answers

Chuck lakeside in to the mix when they're fielding their best team

Hawks have to be at best third or fourth. They haven't beaten the other teams at the top with them.

Parsons about to choke again

These young boys from the Slammers play hard!!! Shame they'll lose three quarters of the roster at the end of the season like they normally do.
They’ll start again and go again I guess

slammers women to fold after this season

Slammers women hoping to bring back 3 overseas players from last season, plus another local or two. Develop a couple of young ones this year and they'll be ok. Maybe not elite but ok.

I hope for the sake of the comp that slammers don't fold

^^^why there are too many teams in the comp anyway and its a pain to travel down to play in a no atmosphere stafium

There's a bit of atmosphere, there was even a streaker on Friday night. Couple of people in the bar don’t mind a spray either occasionally.

Well keep them in then if they do that every week!!!!

#426 what a great atmosphere to promote. People in the bar willing to give a spray. Awesome lol douche

It's not really a spray, more just a bit of banter. At least the crowd isn’t completely dead, East Perth, Perry Lakes etc

hawks always get a crown when it counts

Main issue is slammers have no coin and completely reliant on imports to be competitive

I was at the wolves v hawks game on Friday night and for those saying parsons choked you have to either be a hater or know little about basketball. he was actually the reason they were even in a position to win that game.

it was really ben purser who choked missing 4 straight free throws and taking a terrible mid range jump shot attempt that had no hope of going in.

Wolves on paper have a much deeper and experienced team. they had more size inside which showed down the stretch on the glass. All that aside the hawks boys played so hard and so well together as a unit that they almost pulled it off. Realistically Wolves should have been well in front with the roster they have.

Cummings ejection was horrible. really poor outcome. the refs missed a blatant foul on a 3 point attempt by cummings, knocking him to the floor. Cummings reacted and put his hands in the air, then a foul occurred in transition at mid court where there was some minor pushing and shoving. one of which involved cummings. It was really Maxwell that was the aggressor in the shoving from wolves as he ran in to protect his teammate. Somehow cummings got a tech and an unsportsmanlike in this exchange and was ejected where really he should have been shooting 3 free throw attempts. it was a shame to see 1 poor missed call turn into 3 poor calls.

None the less Wolves brought in Matt Teale who had an instant impact on the game defensively and really swung the momentum back to the wolves before the end of the quarter. Im not sure why he didn't get more burn but he was doing a great job on Cassir.

Young Kade Muru was big on the glass in the 4th quarter and whilst wasn't active on the scoreboard during the game came up with 3 huge free throws in the clutch. With Muru going 3-4 from the line when Purser went 0-4, this really nudged wolves in front.

Cracking game to watch and great atmosphere in the HBF Arena

CRikEY! A clearly one sided account for the Hawks. Parsons did choke. He maybe needs to wave his fist harder and or give them a different footy half time speech about blood sweat and tears.

Maybe you could take up the whistle then Mic Drop?

What was the one liner Moose would say, was it "and how you goin" or something like that?

Travers playing this week?

They beat lakeside the night before so what does that make them?

Big difference between the west coast classic and quality basketball in general

After Shaquille Maharaj and Kieran Berry Eagles have no one

Giants are playing some nice bball right now.

Damon Ballantyne is looking like a great fit. The Centre for Giants would be a great pickup for an NBL team.

Creek doing a great job in stabilising that program with some nice youth in his roster. Would love to see how they went in a full SBL season with some high level imports

Giants with an import pg and import forward with the current team would most likely be a playoff team. Wcc really pot luck never no who will play eacH week. Mandurah some nice young talent Atkins a surprise and Josh Hunt

I watched the Magic v Giants yesterday and it really stood out how much the Giants players were enjoying their basketball.

All getting around each other, it was very positive and great to see. They seem to be having fun.

It's great to see how many teams have used the season for what it is. Looking at how many players have hit the floor and you can see even the top four sides have had between 15-20 different players get a run.
One team has only suited up 11, and not going to make finals, what was the point of their season?

"The Centre for Giants would be a great pickup for an NBL team."

This forum loves throwing out stupid random statements

how is that stupid or random?

the guy is 6'10, mobile, athletic, great hands, can play inside and out

averaging 14pts 14rb a game and 4th in league in blocks

Deng Acouth averaged better numbers in the nbl1 and doesn't even get on the court for the 2nd worse team in the NBL.

14 points in a league that virtually has no pro players and no imports isn't enough to warrant NBL interest.

its not the volume of points that warrants NBL contention.

Corban Wroe has never put up big numbers either in the NBL or SBL. Does he belong? some may argue no but many would say he played a solid role for the cats.

Brad Robbins was another guy who didn't put up big numbers in the SBL but was a legitimate contributor at the NBL level.

Rhys Vague, before moving to East Perth could barely put up numbers in D league let alone SBL whilst he was a DP in the cats. Likewise with Sunday Dech.

Guys like Sam Harris and Paul Rogers weren't big scorers in the SBL either.

Garang's size, athleticism and how he scores is as much about what he has to offer at the NBL level than just his averages in WCC.

lol you cannot throw Paul Rogers name into that mix.

He played like 3 games and was 100 years old

Corban Wroe was only ever a DP. Never had a contracted spot. Only played big mins with wildcats had both Kenny and Martin out.
Robbins played SBL post retirement.
Rhys Vague and Sunday Dech got their opportunity because the head coach of SBL was an assistant for wildcats.
Sam Harris and Paul Rogers are legitimate 7footers.
Garrang would get a chance if he had someone vouching for him, like if his head coach was a wildcats assistant. Otherwise he isn't doing enough to warrant NBL interest.

Robbins played for Willo before he went to the
Wildcats. He was aggressive.

Excerpt from a very informative Wikipedia page. Robbins has had quite a lot of involvement in the SBL and also during the peak of his NBL career.

After not receiving any NBL contract offers for the 2005-06 season, Robbins moved to Perth in 2006 and joined the Willetton Tigers of the State Basketball League (SBL). Following the 2006 SBL season, Robbins joined the Perth Wildcats for the 2006–07 NBL season and became a tremendous servant of the club. In his first season as a Wildcat, Robbins averaged 3.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 34 games. He became a crowd favourite and impressed with his work ethics, as his gritty actions on court earned him the nickname "Angry Ant". He subsequently returned to the Willetton Tigers for the 2007 SBL season.

Robbins played 67 games over his first two seasons as a Wildcat, increasing his averages to 6.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 2007–08, but was restricted to just three appearances in 2008–09 due to a knee injury.

Robbins returned to full health for the 2009–10 season and formed a tremendous point guard duo with Damian Martin, helping the club win a record-breaking fifth NBL Championship. In the 2–1 grand final series win over the Wollongong Hawks, Robbins played through broken ribs, a calf tear and sore hips to drag Perth across the line. In 32 games for the Wildcats in 2009–10, he averaged 4.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He was then named co-captain for the 2010–11 season and led his team from the front to another playoff appearance, this time a thrilling semi-final series loss in three games to the New Zealand Breakers. He averaged 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 31 games during the 2010–11 season.

Robbins returned to the SBL in 2011, joining the Wanneroo Wolves and helping the team win the championship alongside Wildcats' teammate Greg Hire. In 15 games for the Wolves in 2011, he averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.3 steals per game. He went on to have a career-best season for the Wildcats in 2011–12, celebrating his 200th NBL game in Game 1 of the semi-final series against the Gold Coast Blaze, and averaging a career-high 7.0 points per game. The Wildcats made it back to the Grand Final in 2012, where they were defeated 2–1 by the New Zealand Breakers. In 34 games for the Wildcats in 2011–12, he also averaged 2.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

Following a successful stint with the Wanneroo Wolves in 2011, Robbins returned to the side for the 2012 season but played in just seven games, averaging 10.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.4 steals per game.

Off-season wrist surgery forced Robbins to miss the first three weeks of the Wildcats' 2012–13 season, but upon returning to action, he managed just eight games before his long-running battle with various injuries began impeding on his ability to perform. Consequently, on 11 December 2012, he announced his retirement from the NBL effective immediately, citing his ailing body and a fatigued mind were the main reasons in his decision to walk away from basketball. He continued on with the team in an advisory role, but following an Achilles injury to Damian Martin in Game 2 of the Wildcats' semi-final series against the Wollongong Hawks, Robbins came out of retirement in April to fill in the back-up point guard role for the 2013 Grand Final series against the New Zealand Breakers. He played in both games of the Wildcats' 2–0 series loss to the Breakers, finishing his NBL career with 215 games and averages of 4.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Robbins' 2013 NBL Grand Final return sparked a want to continue playing at a lower level, and just days after completing the NBL season with the Wildcats, Robbins joined the Wanneroo Wolves for the rest of the 2013 State Basketball League season. He played an important role on the Wolves' squad, leading them back to the Grand Final where they lost to the Lakeside Lightning. In 20 games for the Wolves in 2013, he averaged 4.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

After not playing for the Wolves in 2014, in April 2015, he re-joined the team. He left the team in early July prior to the playoffs. In 10 games, he averaged 3.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

In October 2018, Robbins came out of retirement to sign with the Rockingham Flames for the 2019 SBL season. He came into the season six kilograms lighter than he was when he was with the Wildcats. A hamstring injury suffered during pre-season forced him to miss the start of the regular season. He made his debut for the Flames in round nine. He went on to miss the back-end of the season, including the finals, with an Achilles injury.

ANy chance this still happens? West says NBL close with SBL>

WRwick I think ya thinking of, has a few 05s and an 06.

Most teams are very young

so are the final 4s set for the mens and womens?

will there be a all-star 5?

Warwick drew the short straw. Lakeside sneak in to fourth and will field their full team of two imports + Vigor and wildcats DP

Lakeside sneak into finals without 2 of their guns Shervill and MacKensie but have to play Senators with their full team + one import + fully contracted wildcats player + former 36er DP + former Wildcat

Does anybody actually care about this league?

Lets put everyone out of there misery and end it now.

league is boring. crazy lopsided with some teams having "unpaid" imports and other teams playing their under 20s team

yes the knockers seem to know a lot about the league given they don't care about it! total dicks!

I'm extremely grateful that this company has gone ahead. I’ve seen some cracking games for both the men and women

people just hate for the sake of it. when the rest of the country is in disarray for sport, BWA were out there giving those in WA an avenue to actually play! sure its been a bit top heavy at ends of the talent spectrum, but they all still get to play and keep getting better!

i have lakeside defeating hawks in the mens grand final and wolves defeating senators in the womens. hopefully get a good turn out to the games

Hawks in the GF? Gotta get past Wolves b4 that. Wolves beat them without Lee Roberts and they have Lee back this week. Will be a good game tho.

Though Roberts had overseas gig so wasn't playing

lee Roberts not back

the last battle between hawks and wolves was a ripper game

hawks had wolves down double digits in the 3rd and wolves clawed their way back into it. it basically came down to the final 2 minutes of play where hawks had plenty of opportunity to win the game.

purser missed 4 straight from the free throw line. took a horrible jumper to try and make up for it and that was the game.

that finals series could go either way!

Looks like wolves open cheque book or using gov grant money? Haha

No way Lee Roberts is playing. Even if he was back, he is going to be in quarantine for 2 weeks

Got turned around at the Israel border 2 weeks ago upon his arrival. Cleared quarantine back here yesterday. Full strength Wolves to beat Hawks and lose in the final to Senators is my tip.

Heard few wolves are unavailable. Group holiday!

"Got turned around at the Israel border 2 weeks ago"

ummm no. good try but

Wolves had only 3 guys who have ever played SBL before this season. Basically a D-League team and got it to 6 in the last QTR. Full strength wolves destroys hawks tonight.

hawks to win WCC double #westernsuburbsrules

^ haha nice try

Hahaha I love the anonymous hawks coach posting

Wolves using the old adage of #BoughtNotBuilt to win the WCC Grand Final tonight. Not one starter a Wolves junior, and even their first two subs were part of the ching ching cheque brigrade the club spent on after the choking hazards of years past in the Men's program. What kind of message does it send to a Wolves junior female player at the moment when the ring in coach who's been involved with more SBL teams than Justin Eckhart, doesn't play any of their juniors aside from Geel and even then she gets minimal minutes.

Wolves players who were at other clubs pre-2019 - 67 points
Wolves players who weren't - 5 points

So out of those seven players, how many weren't getting paid to drive up the freeway 'just for the love of the game' to play for an unproven coach? Not sour or salty, just THE REAL TRUTH. It is evident to everyone south of Hodges Drive that there is truly is a level of arrogance and toxic culture within the Wolves and it is just great that karma has played a large part of the club not being as successful as they would want others to believe. Heaven help the recently advertised Basketball Development Coordinator when they start in the position as SBL aspirations for Wolves juniors are non existent unless they are happy playing sixty seconds per game whilst the front office recruits heavily outside of their own program. There is a major reason why the Senators and Hawks have well and truly surpassed Joondalup now in terms of WABL/Development and this will further be proven in the next 2-5 years by results along with an impending junior player exodus to clubs who can offer them more on their development journey's.

^amen

Just to add to the discussion, the wolves Dleague team is 1-9 last on the ladder.

Parsons choked

Parson chocked???

Against full strength Warwick team cmon. Enjoy your first championship that don't mean shit hahaha

My takeaway from the WCC
- Cody Ellis is definitely not an NBL player so there should be zero talk of him going to tassie.
- Justin King is an average import
- Matt parsons had no idea purser was on 4 fouls
- missed layups and missed uncontested shots show how average development is in WA. Hence why you guys don't Medal that often at nationals.
- hardshow in PNR is over rated , especially when switching doesn’t provide any mismatches and no one can’t beat their man one on one.
- Justin king really is average

Yeah keep your import here and then put 3 former nbl players and can only beat a hawks team by flopping and paying off Morgan Hughes #nice

Hawks would have won if they had any discipline. Cole and Cassir were disgraceful. Purser with dumb fouls

Purser was by far the best player tonight. Shame he got those dumb fouls in the fourth. He could have willed the Hawks to victory.

Wroe was ok, considering Clarke was his opponent. Ellis was average, Davis was average, King got a few shots at the end but also average.

Hawks lived and died by the 3 tonight, which was odd. Smith missed a number of key shots, as did Hamilton.

Congrats to Senators.

Hahaha senator were $1.10 from day 1 to win with that team in watered down comp.
Hawks down really wellmwith just the local kids.

I cant beleive they gave out banners hahaha hilarious

Are they going to be doing season awards for this comp?

With senators team they had they could have turned up Thursday had 1st scrimmage for the year. Met each other and learnt thier names. Played the semi and Gf this week and still won.

^all four points spot on haha

King is mediocre.

koberulz
Yesterday

Given that the Hawks were in front for much of the game, and it was still a contest with a couple of minutes to go, I doubt that.


Kobe that's a credit to the Hawks!!

Hahaha four ways to score the ball?! That has to be the dumbest thing I ever heard

Let's keep this dumb thread going ...

Transition
PnR
Drive and kick
Drawing fouls
Off screens
Cuts
Spot up
Post
There 8 right there without trying.
Flogs

Pick and pop
Pick and roll
Short roll
Re screen
Pick and roll with shooter lifting out of corner
Pick and pop into another pick and roll
Pick and screen away

Curl and re screen
There's six for off ball actions
Should I keep going Anon?

Bump..
It's school holidays

Wolves no good again.

Sure it is because it's different things.
Saying pick and pop vs. pick and roll are two different things.
Not like saying "you are an idiot" compared to “you’re an idiot” which is the same - but still relevant to you

Love the losers talking about us on school holidays but they comment on a forum during "work hours". What is the chances koberulz is from Perth and on the dole

I highly doubt koberulz is on the dole.
Suspect he does live in WA.

JR is clearly parsons trying to talk himself up. Go back and read the posts

Makes sense! Haha

koberulz
Earlier this week
This is Joondalup's first championship from six attempts, and it took entering a pro team into an amateur competition to achieve it. Hardly a shining example of excellence.


That was not a pro team. Who exactly was paid? Don't just have a guess for the sake of it. Which player is a professional who hasn't been playing in the SBL for numerous seasons and was bought in professionally to win the championship?

Joondalup as a club have 8 championships, 3 for the men and 5 for the women, the only clubs with more success are Willeton and Perry Lakes. Joondalup have been attempting to win a championship since they joined the league in '89, just like every other club.

And for all the salty parents who thought their kids junior wabl career was going to guarantee them a spot on a talented SBL team, sorry it doesn't work like that, just like you dont spend 5 years in the sbl and think your a shoe in for the nbl...your kid should give social bball a try, lakeside and bendat are good comps

Bump

Absurd.

no one got paid. not a cent. you cant publish anyones salary because there was none to be paid and you arent privvy to that information anyway.

Can confirm Wolves hawks and Senators did not pay anyone a cent and made and won finals. Yet clubs who finished bottom half of the league threw money around. Great investment. Ever think if you're a good club and treat your players right that maybe just maybe they would play for free?

I know that's hard for people from crap clubs to get their head around.

Can confirm L Cummings went to Wolves for the money, so claiming Wolves paid nobody is simply not true.

This just got interesting. I want to know if being paid by a third party counts as salary towards the cap. I'd be keen to see which players may have gotten paid that way.

It's just here say if nobody can provide proof.

I don't see what the issue is about players being paid? If they're good enough to warrant being paid then good on them.

For the record Koberulz I'm not a Joondalup supporter, never have been, never will be. This year was always going to be different. I just can't see the big deal in whether or not players got paid. If you could be paid or not be paid, which one would you choose?

The clubs wanted a strict no payments allowed rule but BWA didn't have the balls and left it up to the clubs to do what they felt was in the spirit of the game.

I'm not a Joondalup supporter either.

Joondalup were allowed to pay players. Every club in the league could. Can't get upset at them for taking advantage of it. They clearly didn’t do it well enough though. Maybe if they did their core group wouldn’t have rack off before finals for a birthday party.

Who won this classic thing anyway

Warwick won the men's and Joondalup won the women’s

no one has claimed anything, except you claiming that players have been paid? talk about butt hurt

Anon v Anon classic battle

there are 4 ways to pay someone in the wcc

SBL rumours thread up yet? Alot of movement in the WSBL already going on.

Anons arguing with anons.
Perthworld still a Gronk.
Koberulz always right.

Happy holidays.

Go on who's moving in the WSBL

Any rumours guys

That is the dumbest things I have ever heard

That's hardly breaking news.

It's still news.

"Kobe, the 4 ways to score the ball are: Postups, 3pters, off penetration and the free throw line....

Many times in games I used to pick an opposition having trouble defending a type of action and we would start to use that more and more."


You found my weakness, I suck at defending someone shooting free throws, my go to defensive move in this instance is to fart and hope the bad smell puts the shooter off

Farting.
More of an offensive smell than an offensive foul.

Yep, Jessie(Cockburn) and Tom(Rocko) gone down the hill. Who knew the Cougars had the money to spend?

DD out at Warwick. Might be an opening at the church to.

Tom who?

Tom Knowles?

Cashed up Cougs been going hard to get Isenbarger too

How cashed up are these clubs.
I mean what is the so called salary cap amount?

Salary cap? does that even exist?

What is cashed up in SBL terms?

all you guys better bring that same 'boUgHt a ChAmPiONshIp" and "wHaT aBoUT oUr JuNiOrS" energy to cockburn like you do every other club that is actually a successful

Opening at Kalamunda. Don't have to be Einstein to figure out that Mansfield's back at the helm. I wonder how many players he'll poach this time around

What's happening with Stephen Black?

They realized he rather play his average performing brother over actual talented players

s black to hawks alongside wife?

What about Parsons?

Looking forward to Tigers new stadium.

Sorry Kobyrulz my bad.

rockingham flames jumped the gun on the appointment of tom Knowles.
he has had some good teams and hasn't got it done . anyway good luck to tom and the flames there track record is second to none but I believe there is better coaches out there.

The church have parted ways with Steve Bezant. Lots of vacancies on the women's side
