NBL News

Host of articles added to the NBL site today:

Wildcats have a positive impression from their early look at trial import Jaron Brown. Perth have moved to be less than 60 memberships from their overall tally for last season after reducing their prices to bring in the crowds and atmosphere. Depending on who you believe. Rashad Tucker is on his way (flight was delayed or something) but has a slight knee injury, and the Cats are considering three imports for their second available spot. If Tucker and Brown fill their import spots, Perth will be fielding a comparatively small team.

Clayton Shields, Hunter's new import, has been admitted to hospital after a knee problem and then heart palpitations during a light training session. Could be bad news for Deano in the SAHFBL...

Two NZ Breakers development players have been injured and knocked out of the season's training opportunities after a car accident left one with a broken leg and another with a broken ankle.

CJ Bruton's been quizzed by the NBL site upon his return from the Olympic Games. Unfortunately they're pretty vacant answers but check it out if you're interested.

Word is that the Blitz will indeed be in Cairns (I think the Sixers plans to be there after New Zealand kinda confirm it) with it mentioned in a Townsville Crocs newsletter. The more pre-season hit-outs the better!

Shut up - the lot of you!!! :-P

I dread even reading any email from Mr Humphrys, as I fear it will be him informing me that another one of my players has gone down!!!

NBL Blitz will apparently be in Cairns on the 18th and 19th of September, with all clubs participating.

Another piece of news is that Tim Hudson is likely to fill the Razors' spot left vacant by Conacher who may be out for three months.

Crocs playing Cairns in a trial game tonight.

I am hoping the NBL will make avaulable box scores for the Blitz, so people can see how the SAHFBL teams are going to go during the season.

I've given up having a database to do my stats, and just using copious spreadsheets to do the work for me instead.

:)

Apparently Adam Quick has rolled his ankle and isn't playing tonight. Not good for whoever signed him in the SAHFBL.

The Cairns website has been redesigned and lists what I can only assume is their final ten plus two development players:

Deba George (Guard)
Tim Behrendorf (Centre)


A rumour re the Kings situation is that Jason Smith has decided to stay which leaves the Kings only enough money to get Thalo Green (ex-Tiger) as their second import.

Their final ten is Bruton, Martin, Smith, Mobley*, Knight, Wheeler, Kendall, Barlow, Sheridan, Green*. I think the 11 and 12 are probably Dann and Carter.

Tigers are waiting on confirmation from the NBL with their intended signing of ex-Giant Greg Blake.

Hawks likely second import John Mueller is to be replaced in Wollongong after a recurrent foot injury took him out of the line-up. Apparently he'd only just signed with the Hawks and must now be replaced with only a month remaining before the commencement of the NBL season.
