Do you have a link mate, I was looking on the 'audio' page and all I found was a couple of the interview snippets they had from this morning's show. Thanks.

Apparently a bid for the Melbourne Tigers is being prepared to enter the NBL and WNBL.

here is the article about it

"It can be revealed a consortium has been formed with a long-term view to resurrect the Tigers to rival the rebranded Melbourne United in the NBL."

Lets not too excited then.

Won't have to worry,United will fold when they miss the finals.Tigers can walk straight back in.

As if United will fold. They have some of the deepest pockets in the league.

Make the Tigers Big V team SEABL standard....

2 imports $30-40k each, 3 locals $10k each, move their starters from last season to be the bench 5 and you're done.

Part of their plan is to progress to the highest level, everything will be done gradually.

i look at them saying wnbl look i think we got enough with 2 melb teams and bendigo in victoria at the moment

"As if .... will fold. They have some of the deepest pockets in the league."

You're obviously new to this league!

@Paul what about the owners who recently Dodo and have been spending huge amounts of money on game entertainment and promotion?

If the Tigers cannot get their SEABL bid off the ground for next year it shows they have absolutely zero chance of relaunching at an NBL level. Saw a Tigers Big V game at MSAC this year and its safe to say it was played in front of about 15 people. Will the Tigers diehards really get behind the team in SEABL?

I don't believe their is any current applications to the SEABL for any new teams.

Melbourne United still own the Tigers name it seems.

Andrew Gaze discussing Melbourne Tigers entering a team in SEABL: http://www.sen.com.au/news/gaze-tigers-nbl-return-years-away

They are more than 5 players away from even being competitive in SEABL.

REally none of there roster from last year are at SEABL level.

They'd need to imports (That are good!) Then 4-5 local players who can contribute at SEABL level not just a few guys from Big V chasing cash.

They'd need to look at getting a couple of guys from say Dandy, Nunawading plus add in a fringe NBL players or two.

They'd need to spend upwards of $80K and not sure SEABL are goin to accept a team that can hardly win a game in the Big V

Nobody is talking about all the knox players that look out of a job right now.

grab a few of them, few big v guys and a couple of imports. Enough to start building a SEABL program. As long as the backing is there why not?

But they sure as hell can't play at Oakleigh! MSAC would be the most suitable venue for them.

"@Paul what about the owners who recently Dodo and have been spending huge amounts of money on game entertainment and promotion?"

Like I said, you sound new to the league. History tells us money now is no promise for the future.

Could Melbourne Tigers survive in SEABL without the backing of a local association?

You don't think they'd have backing?
