Can we get a list of players signed or movement for each team?

Which team has he gone to?

I think Parkinson is moving to melbourne.
kunek I believe is playing for stirling?
Standish is playing for redbacks.?
willeton have signed a player from the melbourne boomers wnbl ? all of the above unconfirmed

Lakeside's new coach, David Daniels, has arrived from the USA and been working with his young roster.

From all accounts Lakeside haven't had much luck in recruiting locals. I believe they looked to get Jackson Hussey and Louis Timms who ended up going to Redbacks and Suns respectively.
Perhaps looking at Lay as another option for their PG spot?

The loss of Parkinson leaves their most experienced local player as Hayden Bell, who is still pretty young in his own right and had the second half of the 2017 season off.

It will be interesting to see how things play out for them over the remainder of preseason and who they get as imports. They do have some exciting young talent in Garbellini and Mackenzie who will likely have big roles in 2018

if the land brothers are coming what makes you think they can get it done with pal again down in Mandurah . it didn't happen in rocko and they had a lot better support team then what Mandurah will have ?

The Land bros both have full time assistant coaching gigs in NCAA II now. I would be surprised to see either of them play SBL again considering the months of their college off season (same time as SBL season) are where they do the bulk of their recruiting.

limped through his final one... and won MVP lol

who Mandurah really need to be getting back is Will McNeill. He was a gun and got better and better as the season went on.

WILL THE THRILL

Player from Boomers WNBL - Ash Grant? :p

Grida has 6 months left on his AIS scholarship. In Perth until the school term resumes.

Daniel Grida will be in the NBL next season

Who is the new Slammers import?

chances of Lako winning back to back SBL championships?

With the amount of money he is spending I would say it's highly likely

wow someone obviously has an axe to grind

Damon Ballantyne and fletcher klaztorny are as home grown mandurah as they come. They were both starters in Mandurahs line up and had good seasons considering their experience level and age.
Mullenax has to be considered a part of the Mandurah woodwork being an Aussie citizen now and having played probably close to 150 games there, maybe more?

I don't recall them having many, if any players from other clubs this year? at least any of any significance.

From all accounts Will didn't end up going and playing anywhere else after his season in the SBL. he would be a great asset to continue to help develop the young Mandurah locals

I think Mandurah do a good job with giving their local players exposure in both the mens and womens competition.

Congrats to Ty on the appointment

on Cockburn - will they be getting a second import for 2018? They did really well in Nener's first season as HC and got a great import in Billups. You would think if they had another player of that similar level they could really push those top teams.
They will have Pesava for the full season this year. A healthier Field. If they can get Billups back and perhaps a gun wing import they would be extremely tough.

Teny Puot returning to the Slammers along with Weeden and Lay

Willetton just announced via Facebook:

"Arrangements are well underway for our 2 Men's SBL imports for the coming season and we're delighted that we'll be welcoming Jay Bowie back, as well as new team mate Badou Diagne."

Badou Diagne from Coast Carolina in D1 NCAA averaged 11.2pts and 6.9rebs in 2015/16 season. 6'7 Forward.

With Nic Cody also taking the season off with hip surgery, Tigers have signed a local 5 man with BBL and SBL experience * cough*

Diagne's college play looks ok but he really struggled in the Swiss league!

with most teams starting training tonight or this week, we should start to hear about a few teams and there imports soon.
im sure willetons new import will be good, I wouldn't underestimate some of those Nordic leagues. also blackey wouldn't be grabbing a crab.

also blackey wouldn't be grabbing a crab.


Charles Funches 2016

That's a joke right???

Hire to Flames? Good one!

Hire to Rockingham is happening.

$$$$$$$$

isn't greg hire a life member of the joondalup wolves ?

$$$ > life membership

Hire to Flames is 99% confirmed. the other 1% being for every thousand dollars he wants/game. Sorry but he isn't worth an import salary.

A few associations looking at exploiting the FIBA Oceania status of countries to bring them into the league unrestricted. Both Flames and Giants are known to be exploring this avenue.

That includes players from NZ and Guam.

Is Redhage playing again? If so where?

why nut bro !

It's 14mpg everywhere else in Aus??

in reply to #665376

1) Hire will be at Rockingham. They are paying him big $$$
2) SEABL is a better organised fixture no doubt.
Most of the NBL guys a the Wildcats who play SBL aRE from the East anyway. They only play here because they are under contract by the Wildcats. Bragg and Kernich Drew must be close to not being Wildcats next season.
Redhage is playing for Perth again. its one of those"Im playing for free" deals.
Jack is coming back and will be the second import/Restricted Player for Rockingham next to Hire.
Turner is trying to Naturalise so he can compete for NBL gig as an Aussie. He wants to be close to the East to be close to the majority of teams eyes.
Billups is 95% back to Cockburn.
Holmen Injured.
Nichols See Turner explanation.
Vague needs to explore life outside Perth as he will never be anything more than he is with the Wildcats. he needs to find a new opportunity asap.

Redhage free? Doubt it.

Perth will make sure Redhage gets paid. Just won't be in a traditional sense. Plenty of ways to get around those salary caps if a team wants to.

Are you guys assuming Redhage is back at the Redbacks just because he played there last year? Does anyone actually know for sure? I've eard some other clubs are going hard at him with $$$ because he hasn't committed yet.

Does Lako get paid?

Why hasn't redhage signed yet then?

YES HE DOES

Redhage probably not signed yet due to complications with Party Flava contract

how do you know he hasn't signed? Just because they haven’t announced it doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened or going to happen. A lot of different things and time to go before the season.

Greg Hire will be unrestricted. SBL is following the SEABL up to 35%, meaning the cutoff will go from 10 mins to 13 mins. What does this mean? The likes of Hire and Ellis will both be UNRESTRICTED players.

Curtis Washington is the Guam player Flames are after. 6'10 from USC and would not be considered restricted.

PG- Godfrey
SG- * IMPORT *
SF- Hire
PF- * IMPORT *
C- Washington

Pal is a possibility off the bench.

Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975) known professionally as 50 Cent, is an American rapper, actor, businessman, and investor.

Doesn't say basketball player..

Why is Cockburn trying to claim Andy Stewart as their own on the Facebook page?

To the anon asking who is saying Redhage hasn't signed yet.. He is saying that. He is taking meetings with other clubs at the moment

@642

No Kernich Drew, No Bragg, No Vague, No Wroe, No Redhage.

Wroe and Redhage are all returning this year so...

The number of NBL players in the league has increased in recent years as well.

If the SBL is such a terrible league, why are you on this forum?

Back to reality, Senators are putting together a nice little squad:

PG - WROE
SG- *JUSTIN KING* IMPORT
SF- ELLIS
PF- *ROBERT ANSHILA* IMPORT
C- LITTERICK

King last played in the Big V, 6'5 SG
Anshila has bounced around a few Middle-Eastern leagues, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi and the like. 6'7 SF but will play PF in this league.

Senators have an issue if the minutes cap doesn't increase and they've signed 2 imports... rotate Ellis and them like the Wolves did a couple of years ago?

Good source close to Daniel Alexander tells me Jack Isenbarger is heading to Lakeside on Alexander's recommendation.

Can confirm the Isenbarger signing

Matt Knight can't play...

plenty would say neither can Greg Hire

Gold

haha nice

but back to Knight - concussion

So Joondalup have flashed the cash and swayed Billups away from Cockburn

no way Pal will come off the bench for Rockingham

guys at redbacks will have to make some sacrifices if they do get everyone back from last year and have added hussey. No way Nelson will accept a bench role as he has previously. Especially after being an NBL DP for a year.
No way Smith accepts a bench role when he is in his prime. Wagner, no. Hussey definitely no and that's even without mentioning redhage, Roberts and vigor.

gotta love that wolves marketing spin

Lako attended Wildcats training as was asked to leave. That would of cut him a little.

Love it!!!

On the contrary I read it as a cover to justify the splash for cash. Benjamin is indeed signing on as an import with the Wolves, backed by Ettridges comments on the same statement.

PerthRedbacks Woman sign Standish, Does that mean that Styndal will play for the men.

Steindl would be lucky to make Redbacks SBL team as development player given his current form!

is steindl a good Christian lad?

your a brave man. I wouldn't go near a party that's close to rockingham!

hahaha Lako removed from the training. Funny. Kyle Bowen has been down there working out with the Cats. Lako trying to claim him as his own product of course so thought he could just walk in and own the place like he usually does.

Lako claims Bowen the same way Trump claims market improvements and inter-Korean relations... zero corelation.

Lako keeps on delivering. Love it.

My very early predictions based on signings. Feel free to comment.

Wolves - Billups plus a core, don't care if Benjamin's there or not, team to beat.

Redbacks - Redhage, Vigor, Roberts and Hussey. Easily 1 or 2.

Tigers - Face value says a downgrade on Turner only because we've seen Ray, but could be a like for like.

Senators - 2 imports but will have to rotate Ellis it looks. Should be up there with Litterick improving year on year.

Giants - 2 imports + PR import + home court worth 3+ wins. Holmen is a huge loss but they've got their group together early this year to hit the ground running.

Hawks - Monroe looks average but they were close to the best team in the second half of the year last season when Parsons sent a rocket.

Buccs - Not much news, but always recruit well + deadliest home court advantage in the league.

Eastern Suns - My pick to play post-season this year, albeit lose first round. Davis is a 20/15 machine and Belger is a stud. Timms and a few locals fill in the gaps.

Flames - Hire's flakiness will be a worry, good recruit but would be more value for money as an unrestricted player. The only way I see them making Finals is if Cooper comes back.

Cougars - with a change in management, I wouldn't be surprised if Cougars go a year without an import... though we always write them off and they always come Goode.

Lightning - 1 import secured, looks okay. Good youths but they're all away at college or AIS (Ferguson, Shervill, Grida). Another tough year for the purp.

Magic - no news so far. Lack players in most positions and their one local Klasztorny kid is at college I'm pretty sure.

Slammers - Add Catalano, minus Nichols. 13th

Eagles - no news again, if Pinder or Dech came back, maybe Jervis, then 7th/8th but the reality of that is very very low.

The fixture this year has not been kind to the Cougars... only 3 of the first 10 games at home and a heap of Friday night away and Sunday games. Could be a tough start for the boys at Wally Hagan.

Does East Perth have a coach yet?

I'm guessing Cockburn didn't make their stadium available in the first few rounds to warrant that fixture.

Flames just announced some random bloke playing for them this season. No biggy

Import situation:

Wolves - Billups Benjamin.
Redbacks - Vigor, Roberts.
Tigers - Diagne, Bowie.
Senators - Anshila,King
Giants - Sovine, Sharpe.
Hawks - Monroe, Carlwell.
Buccs - Natesan, Colter.
Eastern Suns - Davis, Belger.
Flames - Hire, ?
Cougars - ? , ?
Lightning -Isenbarger, ?
Magic - ? , ?
Slammers - ? , ?
Eagles - ? , ?

How long until Calwell not an import? Wasn't there all that talk about Hawks paying for his citizenship etc last season?

What's Vigor's status? Hasn't he played enough games for Perth to be an exception?

Vigor isnt considered a restricted player is he? I heard that Perth already have a 2nd import who has been here since last month. No one will confirm.

so another season finishing in July for the Lightning?

PERTH REDBACKS WOMEN SHAPING AS THE TEAM TO BEAT THIS SEASON, SOME VERY TALENTED SIGNINGS.

so do the wildcats announce Greg Hire as "the mayor of wanneroo" still?

Apart from Standish, who they got??

Pirini

Just signed import as well dyer

Standish will miss a heap of the season with wedding and honeymoon so probably not the smartest pickup

standish is an upgrade on last years import
pirini is an upgrade on johnson
dyer is an upgrade on clayton
and the rest of the teams the same so should be much improved.
Would need to find a replacement big for Wallbutton to round the team off.

Standish maybe, will miss a lot of games, but Pirini limited scorer and Dyer unproven. First pro gig out of college, good ones go to Europe not WA. No big is an issue as well. Not even close to a top 4 team. Benson paying wrong people too much cash.

If you think Benson, an SBL Administrator, has a say in who gets paid what... you have no idea how an Association works.

Board gives budget to coaches.
Coaches complain not enough.
Board caves.
Coaches cont. complaining.
Administrator is literally the middleman.

Why are we talking about WSBL?

I think you will find that is not the case at perth, Coach says who he wants and sbl committe negotiate payments.
ie: benson.

for 667393
thread is called WA SBL

The State Basketball League (SBL) is Western Australia's semi-professional basketball league. The league comprises both a men's and women's competition and is run by the state's governing body, Basketball Western Australia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Basketball_League

is greg hire now the mayor of rockingham?

Brian Sullivan named Benjamins replacement. Looks like a pure PG.

Dyer is legit. Only here because she went to college with Roscoe and wants to ease her way into professional ball starting with WSBL.

Chaudier Pal

Jarrad Prue has come out of retirement to help the Lightning with the lack of bigs

Brian Sullivan from Wolves looks better

He got cut after 5 games playing for the Greek team..

Redbacks having issues with Vigor. He's been selected to the Scottish Commonwealth Games team, making him a restricted player. They were aggressively pursuing Maurice Barrow and Lee Roberts, but this has thrown a spanner in the works.

Rockingham Flames:
Godfrey
Import #2
Hire
Ritchart
Washington

Scary

Curtis Washington. Guam player

isn't greg hire restricted, therefore can only have the 1- import in ritchard.

Mostly BS except for Prue ^

The fact that this 'Peto' hasn't put Isenbarger in his team makes me know the Rush inclusion is fake news.

Pete doesn't post on here

'Timms will be in a Lakeside uniform and look for him to be a 20/10 guy.'

'Curtis Jackson is Lakeside's import.'

'Austin Bruton back at Lakeside.'

0 for 3... keep swinging Champ.

Fair play to Lako, won a championship. I ask the question, would he have won it without Redhage. No.

This year, he goes out and gets Hussey and Barrow, to ADD to Vigor, Roberts and Redhage. He isn't going to get any praise for winning with a stacked team. Redbacks shooting themselves in the foot again giving all their money to SBL when they're Juniors are falling apart.

Matt Parsons has earned the leagues respect with what he did with his team 2 years ago, and even the Hawks last year after a terrible start. Randy Meigel, Doccy, hell even Nener. But Lako is just opening the cheque book. for shame.

Parsons does the exact same thing.. he just has a better rep.

Redhage still hasn't signed anywhere.

who all the juniors are that Parsons stole?

Will Lakeside accept his constant ref abuse and bewilderment at foul calls or non calls?

"There seems to be more than one "Peto" posting on here. The above 3 are definitely lies. I suspect Jake "Fat Boy" Burston."

junior basketball always attracts Peto's

Most who live south of the river are special.

Yo are we gonna let slide Joondalups announcement this morning:

PG - SULLIVAN
SG - ILIADIS
SF - CLAUSEN
PF - BILLUPS
C - HUNTINGTON

BENCH - SALINAS
BENCH - MAXWELL
BENCH - IRONMONGER
BENCH - EASTHER
BENCH - WELLSTEAD

Wolfpack with a nice team but a little thin inside.

Matacz hasn't retired

how does parsons steal players?

with only 6/7 weeks left til the first game of the SBL -WSBL season there is not much news coming out of some clubs.
is mason bragg playing for east perth in 2018 ?
have the s/w slammers announced their second import to go with voekel ?
are Mandurah getting 2 imports ?
nothing from the buccs ?
redbacks women have recruited really well , any news from rockingham,cockburn,kalamunda women,wolves all quite at the moment

hmmm, so Flames just announced D'Lesha Lloyd, not to be confused with referee Ethan Lloyd.

So Taneisha Harrison is a 6'0 PG.. Lloyd is a 6'0 PG.

Flames using 2 import spots for the same position. Ahhh Petrik, the haters gonna hate, but I'm afraid in this particular instance, Potatoes gonna potate.

@335 Buccs have already announced both imports:

Wolves - Billups, Sullivan.
Redbacks - Barrow, Roberts.
Tigers - Diagne, Bowie.
Senators - Anshila,King
Giants - Sovine, Sharpe.
Hawks - Monroe, Carlwell.
Buccs - Natesan, Colter.
Eastern Suns - Davis, Belger.
Flames - Hire, Ritchart.
Cougars - ? , ?
Lightning - Isenbarger, ?
Magic - ? , ?
Slammers - Voelkel , ?
Eagles - ? , ?

Judging by that lineup above, redbacks are planning on not having Redhage back. Barrow is not a 3 so with Vigor as well (unless he's now out) that would make 4 guys who want 35 mins+ at the 4/5

Voelkel may not be playing for the Slammers now I am hearing. They are all over the place (aren't we all shocked knowing who the head coach is)

Blitz fixtures announced

wow, rockingham women are stacked as well.
east perth have some juniors coming thru- their under age boys are good

Slammers and East Perth must be very low on numbers, quality numbers anyway which is what really counts. The Slammers will fold if Catalano coaches more than 1 season, no one too fond of him down south

Earnest Ross playing sbl I believe, not certain where.

Ross will probably be playing for Joondalup or Perth

Joking yeah?

Earnest Ross will be at Gero from the gossip going around.

The Ross poster is talking to himself again...

Earnest Ross would be an import wouldn't he. Good athlete and player, tipped for NBA years ago but very poor iq.

Confirmed on SBL FB

Kernich Drew back in SEABL not returning to SBL

Tiglets making some noise this year, look for Steindl to sign with them in coming days.

Flex on Flex off, the OG offense devised by the Mr Miyagi of the feline world (aka Mr Meowgi) Alan Black, passed on to Steven.

One month out from the season and we still don't know who is coaching East Perth???

I would rather not know than know you have Catalano coaching

So how does the Pacific Islands United StatesTerritory of Guam count as not an import. Thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard. I know its the rule but how stupid are Basketball Australia. Why not just allow Americans from the United States then.
