I wouldnt want Mee replacing Maher. Too old to be any sort of a long term replacement.

wouldn't be a replacement but as an addition to the Sixers team.

-Farley
-Maher
-Cash (extra for paying Nielson maz)

+Abney
+Nielson


Is Wheeler signed?
Isn't Nielson a power forward? That would be 3 power forwards playing 2 positions each rated 10 points.

C:Schenscher
PF: Powell
SF: Import
SG: Newley
PG: Maher

Bench
Cooper
Sutton
Hill
Mastrovich
Copeland

I smell a championship :-P

Pero is a waste of Space, 123Abc

need new talent - look at any team that has done well.

they bring in quality unscouted new players - not old school, scouted to death players.

time to go overseas as per previous talent searches.

unfortunately you will only get what you pay for

Is Wheeler signed on for next year?

Grindogs team,. by my reckoning woould break points cap

Schenscher - automatic 10
Powell - 10
Import - 10
Newley - 10 (Boomers player)
Maher - 5 (for loyalty discounts)

Cooper I would suggest is a 7 (I cant find the doscument that showed what players got rated this serason)
Sutton I would suggest would be rated at least 3 for next season
Hill I would rate at 4 with discounts
AJ would be a 6 or 7
Copes is a 7 (and that wont get rated down next season)

That makes a rating of 72/73...I know the salary cap is going up next season...what about points?

IMO, your guard component also lacks in experience....in fact the whole team lacks a bit apart from Maher and Copes...needs another seasoned player in there, someone in the mould of Davidson or Egan...

u r kidding urselves even discussing a team like that, newls and carlos r goin NBA and even if carlos was still here we wouldnt get him. and pero is certainly not a waste of space i'd take him as a starting C over Coops actually.

Heck guys, I was joking when I put that team up. As much as I would love that team, I know there is no chance of it happening!

Yogee, why would Schenscher be an automatic 10?

Hasn't played for the Boomers AFAIK and isn't returning to the NBL.

The automatic 10 is for restricted players (imports), NBL players returning from overseas (doesn't fit him, as technically he hasn't played in the NBL, so he's not returning), and those who have made the Boomers squad.

AFAIK.

Didin't Schenscher play in that ill-fated NZ debacle when Phil was coaching the Boomers?

I wonder if we could bring in Groves to replace Farley and Saville to replace Nash and Wheeler?? as with the situation in Wollongong with the coaching un rest and all that it may be a good time to attempt to poach them, id definatly make Sav an offer anyway,

C Cooper
PF Horvath (or different import Fwd)
SF Saville
SG Groves
PG Maher
6 Ng
7 Majstrovich
8 Sutton
9 Hill
10 a big guy (depending on cap space)(go for Schenscher or Moore first and put them into the starting spot if successful)

I reckon that team would be ok and probably can be done under the cap

obviously if u can get Newley go for it and if it has to be done i would prob take him instead of either Groves or Saville, maybe keep Saville sign Newley and a cheaper import off the bench or something

It would be a championship winning team Jonno but is Groves out of contract? Same for Saville? And do they want to switch teams?

However, Nash is signed on for next year so we are stuck with him.

yea not sure about Groves or Savilles contracts or if they would want to leave but id definatly ask the question as you never know, and with Nash they will either keep him as a back up maybe in 10 spot on the roster i named above or buy out his contract or something, i wouldnt mind either way but he definatly isnt upto starting 5 standard anymore

Hot Tips:

Nielson @ Dragons
Groves @ Gold Coast

If they are willing to pay Farley out to cut him then they should be willing to do the same for Nash.

Anyone know what's happening for the revamp of the Dome pre-season?

I'll be able to say when i find out at March but anyone know?

Jonno, its against NBL rules to try and poach players from other clubs now. Their own club have to be given first opportunity to secure them. Didn't the 36ers report a complaint to the NBL just a few days ago about another club trying to talk to Maher?

Isaac, I would have thought he would get rated a 10 for his overseas factor.

But I could be wrong, after all the points things isnt the most transparent activity around.

I meant poach Saville and Groves within the NBL rules of course, i think its 2 weeks after the grand final free agents can be officially approached

If you wanted those players, you would need to start expressing interest and hinting at prices right now. They are going to be sought after players come free agency.

What did the Crocs get fined for poaching Rillie? From 2004:

Rillie, who recently signed with Townsville, was fined $1,000 for approaching the club while still under contract to the West Sydney Razorbacks.

Townsville was fine $7,500 for not reporting Rillie's approach to the NBL.

If the Sixers wanted to get players maybe they should start early and wear the fine.
