My first gut instinct is "yes".

But as I check the other rosters on WNBL.com.au my opinion becomes "It's one freakin' week before the season starts. Isn't it about time for the clubs to update the roster pages on their websites?!?"

36ers Admin... Please update !!!!! Would be nice to look up players details for this years team !!!!!

i think in the last 3 or 4 seasons yes but this no
not that we arent good just other teams are going to be better
i think this year is the strongest the wnbl has ever been

will be interesting how stewart goes - gabe richards dominated last weekend.

lot of big names in the comp this season - we have an ok team - if they play at their best we can be top 3 if we get in a funk bottom 3.

imo -

bendigo
dandy
logan
townsville
melb
adel
caps
flames
wavez

Having seen those I think the Lightning will be doing well to make the playoffs.
Dandenong's list is just :O

Is the general feeling that the WNBL is stronger than past years or the same or weaker? Good range of imports, it seems?

I would say it's arguably the strongest ever talent pool this season. Bit of a pity that 3 of the WNBA-calibre players are on the one roster though. But there's quality almost everywhere you look (just don't look west of the Nullarbor)

What's the go with Dandenong having three imports listed?

Is there even a limit in the WNBL? (I have no idea... it's not usually an issue in this league)

I dont know. I cant remember a team having three imports. Have we ever seen as many with two imports as this season?

Dandenong's third import has an a
Aussie passport. Moms Australian

logan will not make finals - no riley.

the way adelaide got blown out last week inside by richards makes me think they will struggle on the boards as well

who is kirsty rinaldi on adelaide's list ?

mark my words chelsea poppens will make an impact - she will be the steal signing

Thanks Michael. Which import is that?

Leilani Mitchell

...for Mark Wright.

melbourne getting poppens has them taking logans spot in top 5 for me
