This morning I saw This Tweet from last night's news of Seebohm wanting his players to be team-first for the remainder of the season.
Now this today. The man ain't playing around!
Older players are not use to playing disciplined, by the numbers basketball. Next year will be very different at the fire.

Poor move by Seebohm and Fire if true. What a load of crap! Disgraceful stuff!

I'm hoping that Bishop has something lined up in Europe and this was a mutual release seeing as Townsville has no hope of making finals, however given those comments by Seebohm I'm doubting that was the case.
Pretty poor if so and I couldn't imagine it would do much for team morale to see their best player be cut like that.
No one on that team is worth keeping except Aokuso.
Great move, clean out.

The @TownsvilleFire are in damage control tonight as reports that International star @Abby_Knight10 has been released from the club begin to surface. https://t.co/p86fwUfcNB @Jess_Stewart16 #7NEWS pic.twitter.com/nBKeX0gJqp

Can anyone tell me whether I can chromecast from the wnbl livestream to my tv? I don't have a smart tv and trying to work out whether I can watch the stream on my RV or not. Thanks :)

Bit pointless cutting someone at this late stage especially when your not going to make finals , though don't think Bishop was a good choice in the first place
I disagree. If they are trouble and you are out the finals race then cut them fornthe sake of team culture. Worked for Bendigo.
Aim for something like with a bunch of new qlders
Vets / Youth
Wnba Import / Mangakahia
Whitcomb / Wallace
Allen / Young / Woods
Kunek / Garbin
George / Aokuso / Hannan
8 mins total for both Scanlon and potter, play the others 37-38, nice...

LOL at that team above. Why not throw in Elena Delle Donne for good measure?

Sack your best player on game day, trounce the defending champs, ah that makes sense.
Cut a troublemaker
Fix team chemistry and morale
Smash the caps
Love it

Bishop is a known cancer in that team. Seebohm did the right thing by getting rid of her. Be assured her teammates are a lot happier without her there

certainly shut the critics up, but sadly too late to make a run for finals.

The Fire get it done again. Reeled in a 12 point deficit and got their 2nd win of the weekend.
Looking forward to watching the fire next year.

McGee-Stafford mysteriously absent from the arena after being named in the team just hours ago
Saw her get in her car and leave the stadium 40 before tip off. Mystery.....

McGee-Stafford has often looked unhappy on this team. Shambolic year for the Lynx.

The TV game has gone into OT AND we have Jenni Screen commentating. How lucky are we?

Great game. For as big a game as Magbegor had (24 & 12 with a few blocks), how did she not know there was only seconds to go at the end?!

Um...why is there a need to be told? She should have been aware.

saw Sophie Cunnigham play for the first time this weekend - she is very good - such an offensive threat.
McGee was on the twist Saturday night and had made instagram posts. She deleted them Sunday morning, arrived late to the game (50 minutes before tip off), and was then sent home. It will no doubt signal the end of her time in Australia
I've seen Sophie Cunnigham play a few times this season. She is basically a walking foul.

She is limited but she plays within those limitations and plays with a lot of heart. I think she's been a good fit for the Boomers.

How bad was Conti. Mistake after mistake. The bigs kept on showing her and she still continued dribbling to the same side. Not sure if she has played lots of minutes previously but she needs to improve. Isn't there another pg at the boomers.

I'd have thought the biggest mistake of all was Beck’s. Sole reason it ended up in ot really, apart from that Boomers did well without Allen
Anon

Conti isn't a strong PG not even as a back up point , Think she’s a much better AWFL player
Why do boomers have so many NZ players, and not good ones either.
Surely we have better players in Australia that could fill those spots.
Ezi shouldn’t have been left to bring that ball up in those last few seconds, should have been the PG job

I think folks are being a little harsh on Conti. I thought considering Malloy almost never plays her, to start and have to go up against the best PG we have in Mitchell, tough assignment and I thought she did as good a job as could be expected.
As for all the NZ players. You have Chelsea D'Angelo in the squad, excellent up and coming Aussie guard who can’t get a look in because Malloy is too busy getting his NZ players up to scratch. How much longer does he have???

Molloy has another year. That's why I am no longer a Boomer member!

what a waste of space she was this year for the Lynx. if what has been reported is true then she is highly unprofessional and her attitude doesnt suit her lack of talent.
they will do better without her

The loss of Alice for the Flames will be a huge as she was not only scoring well but her defense has improved greatly this season.
Hope she will be back for the 3x3 for Tokyo, as she is one of the main players.
Go Flames!!
