I think most of it is on the mark, but I think to get Harvey and Ere you will need to spend that extra $60K!

So, it's not finalised, and not definitely under the cap? You're just guessing?

I think they would be paying a bit too much for both Gibson and Vukona, but I guess winning a Championship does that to your stocks...just look at Ben Wallace!

Give him a break Isaac, he's obviously from QLD.

Thoughts?

no not finalised but i am good friends with many ppl at the blaze and from what i hear, this roster as listed will be it. Anyone know how much ebi ere commanded per season $$ wise at tigers/bullets etc??

weve got a well rounder roster here. perhaps if we cant snare ebi ere, which is still a fair chance, you think we could bring justin bowen back?? also would another nbl club consider bowen??

You joking Ere 170k, hilarious, try chatting with his agent you need to double that figure.

I cannot image Ebi getting out of bed of AUS $170k. I am alos suprised that Gibson & Vukona would be paid a six figure salary.

I'm led to believe that Petrie probably wouldn't have moved for $80k.

gibson is probably the no.1 prospect atm to be pat mills back up pg at the next olympics. he is consistent and a class act. bruce and the ncaa boys dont come close.

Petrie 80K would have doubled his money from previous years.

Plus he has family in Queensland

I would also be surprised that Gibson and Vukona are on 6 figures. Gibson probably 100K and Vukona would be on much less. He averaged 5 and 5 this past year. is that worth 100K?

Vanderjagt (80k), Behrendorff (60k)
Petrie (80k), Cameron (80k)
Ere (220k), Vukona (90k)
Harvey (170k), Demos (40k)
Gibson (100k, Goulding (60k)

adjusted salaries here, upped harvey and ere, dropped vukona's and gibson's.

If we cant get ebi for that, lets forget about him and bring back justin bowen, they are similar type players and much bowen wouldbe cheaper.

btw isaac, petrie has half his family in south east qld and 80k is a big jump on his salary at the gong last season.

how much would vukona and gibson have been on at dragons??

Ebi and Joey did not finish on good terms so they have anything but a good relationship. I don't think he will be their import. Gibson is worth every penny that is why the best coaches Wright & Gorj) always want him.

So Isaac, your saying Petrie was offered more than $80k elsewhere (36ers) and knocked it back? leading you to say this?

Pigs, didn't say anything about the 36ers. Point is, doesn't matter what Hawks paid him last year (as the GC fans are saying), but what he was offered this year. And my info just suggested that it might've taken more to move him, not that it was guaranteed. $80k would still be fine for him.

Vukona could push six figures if the Blaze are being aggressive - who knows. Has shifted twice since Breakers (wouldn't have taken cuts to do so) and was useful on a championship team which would count for something.

Gibson would've been in serious demand as the top PG prospect by some way. The only better option you'll get in the NBL outside of Bruton is going to be an import who will cost more and be more of a gamble. Gibson was starting point on a championship side, DPOTY, etc - $120k would be money well spent.

monkey/joyceovic, pick an alias and stick to it please.

i agree that ere would not sign for 170k, let me rephrase, he might sign for $170k but under the table would require minimum of 275k to 300k, he has jumped ship from team to team to whoever pays the highest. Sixers would do well to sign bowen too he had some serious game i remember watching him torch us for 35 when we had hodge too.

I saac, where my ? was heading for me, was where your info comes from...i am trying (in my own head) tp work out what the 6ers are/were chasing as to see what sort of side/team play they are looking for.


over the last couple of years the 36ers have more or less just tried to pick up what was about, but have been able to discover some decent imports too..

just trying to guise if the new group is going to pick up where the last left off or live up to the hype they have been able to generate...i am hoping for the latter...

I think you will find Ere was on around USD$200k.

I like many posters I am sure would like other posters to stick with one alias and am sure there should be a way to make that happen if these guys continue to use diff. alias as no real reason to do so. Pigs of War what were you on when you did your last post.

nothing....
just trying to find out more info than this thread has......and i know Isaac has plenty of info, just trying to work out where he gets most of it..

I have to agree with you Pigs Of War on that so much information and even part knowledge is held back from this site by many. Whilst we all know you cant spill whats told in confidence etc or get info. to other clubs who approaching still feel that more grapevine stuff could be passed on as we sit at Sixers with 1 plyr signed.
