NEW BIG MAN TO TRAIN WITH SOUTHERN TIGERS

A new BIG man will train with southern tigers very soon, may cause a few headaches for the coach in the upcoming season if he signs with the team, considering they have a couple of big guys already.....

Nothing will help them with that, they will be battling for the wooden spoon again! They had a lot of hype about a new big last year but he turned out a waste of space and i see this as only hype, as how can a club that is in debt of 90k plus be able to pay anyone. Just usual talking up of a team that is full of non talented players.

He's 6 foot 10 and about 125 kilos apparently. An ex wrestler with basketball experience..
but don't expect Dan Lalic to go anywhere, he'll still start.

Lockstock,you said "apparently" he's 6'10 and weighs 125kgs...Is this because you haven't seen him yet?
Is that because he hasn't trained?
Is it because you haven't been at training???
Or is it just maybe that this is simply a Bigfoot sighting??????

So whats this costing Southern? I hope not a lot after the club has just asked all members to pay $100 to the club to help get rid of the debt.

I can assure you if this big man can sort out his work/time commitments and start training it will only be adding depth to the squad and allowing players like Dan Lalic the chance to compete against a guy thats bigger and stronger than him.

This Big man will not be the turning point for this team ot the league, merely a solid contributor. Enough of the over hype, its boring.

As for the poster that believes there is no talent at Southern.... im sure you would be a walk up starter and league MVP. right?

As for the club being in monstrous debt.... come to the AGM and here the real truth and details about those figures. With BA taking over BASA all former negotiations were considered null and void. All clubs are in the same boat so pull your head in.

Southern were the only club EVER to offer free uniforms in the process of a merger that involved aquiring the debt of another club, not just their players and parents.

The club is in the best shape its been in for years, this doesnt mean they will win the title, but it does mean the ship is sailing in the right direction, it certainly isnt sinking.

I will accept all criticisms of the ABA team and the club at the half way point of the season, not Jan. 17

Nice work coach, hope you guys have a good season, you know i'll always have a bit of a soft spot for the old tigers!

I think it's Nathan Jawai. Tigers and Taipans sound kind of similar, they're both basketball teams in Australia - it's an easy mistake for the kid to make.

Just curious coach to know that if you guys have no debt and all debt was wiped off, why did the president send a letter asking for every player to pay $100 to help wipe of the debt? Also did seniors have to pay this $100 as well?

We heard how great your big man was last year and that was a flop, so why would this be any different? I hope he doesn't winge as much as Alexander did.

Coach, it was my understanding all club debt to BASA was transfered to BSA. Is that legal advice you have had or from BSA?

I'm not backing down at all, I just don't see the point in continuing to ask what his name is when it's obvious it's such a BIG secret!!!
I've asked a couple of times now with no response, does this mean your going to let everyone know???

And here are the lyrics...

Daniel Boone was a man. Yes a big man.
With an eye like an eagle and as tall as a mountain was he.
Daniel Boone was a man. Yes a big man.
He was brave, he was fearless and as tough as a mighty oak tree.


From the coonskin cap on the top of ol Dan to the heel of his rawhide shoe
The rippin'est roarin'est fightin'est man the frontier ever knew.

Daniel Boone was a man. Yes a big man.
And he fought for America to make all Americans free.
What a Boone. What a wonder. What a dream.

My apols to Panther on the name typo.

I'm interested in getting a coonskin cap into a ball uniform though. Can Southern help?

I think you guys have misunderstood what "coach" is saying. Merely saying that a few clubs might be in some financial difficulty, not just Southern, as previous arrangements with BASA are now void and the full debt is owed to BSA. Is that correct "coach"?

The club has asked for help from its families, so the debt can be cleared. As a parent at the club I know the facts as I did go to the AGM and anyone needing to be enlightened only need ask a committee member. Once the debt is cleared the club will go on upward as our list of coaches is one of the best in years. Good to see some interest in the upcoming ABL season but I thought the rules on this forum were no sniping at clubs- this topic seems to have started its usual slide into that area again. Good luck coach- the club will be out in force again this season behind you and also the wonderful girls team who hopefully will go that next step to the top.

Hey Coach, so big deal... We all know Dean Uhtoff is coming out of retirement. He is happy to play for a 2kg feed of spag bol, after each game, made from some poor old southern woman, who has had to break from whittling wood on the porch. He will fit in a treat down south me thinks!!!!

I have heard rumours that the big guy is in fact an import and is still waiting for his working visa to be cleared. How much truth is there to this rumour?
