Is the Ramone Moore thing still happening? Waiting to be released by Lietkabelis?

Is it though? Didn't Joey bring Randle in??

Ah Stud boy you can't help to have a crack at Wright whenever you can.

Hopefully one day you can understand Wright picked imports to complement his Australian talent. As a result they finished on top of the ladder. That core Australian talent are all still there making it smart coaching.

"He has an eye for established talent imo", " until im convinced otherwise its already established players for Joey or bust." Randle MVP, Sobey NBL 2nd Team, Hodgson. What fantastic new talent did the Hawks/Perth come up with?

"Truth is they played the project game never expecting to succeed" No truth in that at all. It is just your crappy opinion. They expected to succeed and they did. They wanted to win it all but in a competitive league these things happen.

"Then they found themselves in the mix for the title but werent deep enough to win a game 3 AT HOME mond you" They played Hawks who had a 3-1 record on them throughout the season. Hardly a team they should be expected to dominate but keep knit picking if it makes you feel better.

"And jacobsen was so good they aren't bringing him back" They aren't bringing Randle back either is that saying he isn't good? How many of the same imports are the Hawks and Perth bringing back? Is that implying the other imports are bad also? Jacobsen filled his role. We don't know what the reason why he didn't get a new contract, it could have been his decision.

End of the day Wright was coach of the year, has a great core of Australian talent signed for numerous years and is actively scouting here and in the US. Wright and the Sixers will continue to be successful as much as it annoys you.

"Dont over do a good thing, the 36ers aussie talent isnt as good as you make it sound. Wasnt enough to win the title."

Do you think it was the Wildcats Aussie contingent that won them the title? Two words, mate, Bryce Cotton.

"They played Hawks who had a 3-1 record on them throughout the season. Hardly a team they should be expected to dominate "

We were 2 games clear on top of the league when the next 4 teams were separated by 1 win and percentages.

We were at home.

The Hawks were missing their NBL 1st team centre after 5 mins of that game.

I may not agree with everything that anon said but to fall short in that fashion was a very low point in an exciting and very promising season.

We should have won Game 3.

"Hopefully one day you can understand Wright picked imports to complement his Australian talent. "

Randle was his star, he was relied upon to create, he had an green light. Seems to me that the Australian contingent was here to support him.

@FreeThrows.

"Do you think it was the Wildcats Aussie contingent that won them the title? Two words, mate, Bryce Cotton."

Bryce Cotton was big, yes, but the Australian contingent was also big when it mattered.

As if at a flick of a switch, Martin and Wagstaff started hitting 3's at a 50% clip in the playoffs. Both players were not that great during the regular season, particularly at the start.

Example being Game 2 of GF @ Illawarra, Damo's 4/5 in the last quarter saved their behinds. The Hawks lead most of that game.

Knight somehow found his mid/long range stroke that was virtually missing during the season. Game 1 of the GF where he nailed like 12 points in Q1. He did it but less against Cairns in the SF but this gave Jawaii and AJ issues matching up to that version of Knight.

Angus Brandt, only in the latter third of the season did he start having a significant impact. His back down plus baby hook was just money during their 7 game winning streak.

Not saying Cotton had little impact but saying it was all Cotton would be incorrect.

One team had 2 imports in the top 5 imports in the league last season and that team won the title. It could be argued that they had 2 of the top 3. Put Torey Craig into the place of Harris or Ferguson and the title could have ended up in Adelaide or Wollongong.

The only other team that was close to having 2 top 10 imports was United but they were hamstrung by one of the worst coaches to grace an NBL sideline.

Imports were the deciding factor in last years title without a shadow of doubt. The Perth Aussie players were probably more open than normal because of the focus of defences to shut down Prather & Cotton.

In case anyone has forgotten the Cats struggled until the second top 5 league import arrived.

"Imports were the deciding factor in last years title without a shadow of doubt. "

Imports are deciding factors in most titles.

What makes the Wildcats of 2017 so special?

It seems like Moore is a sure thing. Probably include him in updated rosters i'd imagine.
