Magic putting Machado and Travers majority payment under 'Development' is no different to what clubs have done for years. Build a bridge if you dont like it. Actually love the fact that we have decent NBL players coming back and playing in our League and stop the stupid whinging for crying out loud

How would their women's team feel? Does any clubs split anything down the middle these days? What a joke.

Good for our league. Bendat could be packed Saturday if it goes ahead.
Milo plays her 500th. Purser breaks Hawks all time games record. Both great warriors and significant contributors to basketball in this state.

There won't be games this weekend, and I wouldn't be counting on games next weekend either.

No games next weekend either.

Games will push forward if lockdown is eased, high likelihood of no crowds and support staff in masks.

He also loves not having COVID.

Jesus fucking christ do we have to do this every time we come out of lockdown?

Community sport will be allowed, with masks. Same as every other time we've eased restrictions. NBL1 will not play if masks are required.

We've done this twice now. C'mon people.

Classic hoops, never change.

If it goes back to restrictions from last Sunday (which is what it appears to be from Tuesday), masks are not required.

That was the key difference when restrictions came in on Sunday.

Confirmed through BWA contacts. Masks required and maximum 20 indoors means no chance of nbl1 this weekend or next. The fact full contact sports can be played like footy and rugby yet we can't just because we're indoors is a joke. If it's as highly contagious as they are claiming, expect 100 new cases of footballers and the like early next week if it's true... Absolute joke of a restriction no longer making any sense. Either allow all community sport whether it's indoors or outdoors and be consistent with it

Next weekend is not cancelled. Incorrect facts.

Likely to be played without spectators

Kobe you are wildly wrong yet again and grandstanding like you're correct.

Last weekends directions did not require masks during indoor exercise.

If they revert to the same directions (they may not), then it’ll be mask free when on the court.

So games are not quite off next weekend yet.

Next weekend is also 150 people, not 20.

Kobe the rulz are from abc summary of markys announcement

What about community sport?

Professional and outdoor community sports—including training—is permitted, but without spectators.

Indoor community sport is not permitted in the first phase of restrictions.

Once the second phase kicks in, all community sport—both outdoor and indoor—will be able to resume and spectators will be allowed, provided the venue abides by the two-square-metre capacity rule.

Last weekends directions did not require masks during indoor exercise.

Drunken discussions last night got to discussing what if BWA released an NBL1 West Playlist, with 1 song representing each club. Here's what we came up with:

Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor (Willetton)
Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler (Perry Lakes)
Flap Your Wings - Nelly (East Perth)
Magic Stick - 50 Cent (Mandurah)
Pirate Song - Kenny Chesney (Geraldton)
Roar - Katy Perry (Cockburn)
Firestarter - The Prodigy (Rockingham)
Pray - MC Hammer (Lakeside)
Shoot Pass Slam - Shaquille O'Neal (South West)
Boris The Spider - The Who (Perth)
Hound Dog - Elvis (Joondalup)
We Looked Like Giants - Death Cab For Cutie (Goldfields)
Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival (Warwick)
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden (Kalamunda)

No, you're wrong Kobe. There is no reference to indoor or outdoor when it comes to exercise in last Sunday’s directions.

That’s a key difference and was endorsed virtually everywhere, including Bendat which is government run.

Only HBF said no because the case itself was up that way and it was deemed a risk.

Can’t wait for you to be wrong.

Mike Barnett also said no because we drove all the way down there from Warwick only to see some young kid locking the doors shortly after 12pm

Rockingham council known for being ridiculous across all of Covid so no surprise there

Sunday's restrictions:

Western Australia has recorded one new case of COVID-19 in the community overnight in relation to NSW travel.

As a result, and until public health can confirm if the virus has spread, restrictions will come into effect immediately for the Perth-Peel region for a minimum period of three days.

These restrictions include:

- Mandatory mask wearing indoors, on public transport, and outdoors where physical distancing is not possible, primary school aged children and those who are exempt are not required to wear masks;
- Public events that cannot be restricted to 150 people will be cancelled or played without spectators today - including the Chicken and Beer Festival and AFL West Coast Eagles vs Western Bulldogs match at Optus Stadium. The match will proceed, but without spectators.
- 30-person limit in all homes for private gatherings;
- Hospitality, entertainment venues (including casino and nightclubs), retail, beauty/hairdressers, recreation centres (including gyms, pilates, yoga, dance and swimming pools) and places of worship can remain open, but must comply with the 2 square metre rule, with a maximum of 150 patrons.
- Community sport is permitted.
- Wedding and funerals can also proceed but will be limited to a maximum of 150 attendees.
- Hospitals will have a maximum of four personal visitors permitted per patient per day – masks will be mandatory for staff and visitors.
- Anyone who enters a regional area from the Perth-Peel region is required to wear a mask as per requirements in Perth-Peel, and travel should be minimised. Travel to remote Aboriginal Communities will be restricted.

All these measures will be reviewed regularly and the Chief Health Officer will continue to monitor the serious situation and provide more ongoing advice.

Everyone is urged to continue checking in using the SafeWA app or contact registers, get tested if you feel unwell and visit wa.gov.au/covid19 for further information.

They aren't the directions Kobe, just the media release, which is often wrong.

Has anyone checked to see when Kobe's scheduled press conference to admit he was wrong is??

This weekend confirmed going ahead, but no fans. Decent result, under the circumstances, although the change in strategy re: masks for indoor exercise is odd given how much easier this variant spreads.

Some stadiums will have limited spectators, it's at their discretion.

Clubs just waiting on BWA to confirm whether players and coaches are included in cap or not, to determine what limited spectators can attend

I hadn't seen anything from the league, just multiple clubs saying no fans. So some have obviously already made the call, if that's the case.

Some clubs can't have fans because of their lease arrangements.

Would think clubs like Cockburn Willetton etc will probably have some fans as they run their own place

Don't really follow SBL NBL1, haven't been to a game in yonks.
Hence why I'm asking.

Exactly how good (or not) is Ethan Elliott?
Is he still only 16?
Does he look good enough to become a Next Star, and if so when would he become eligible?

^^ not sure how Geraldton's got approved when you can barely read the name or number.

Feel for the people doing the live stats in that game. Bloody hell.

Fair to say Summerville is on borrowed time. Alot of people leaving both as coaches and office staff due to dealings with him. 0-2 for the weekend will not help his cause at all and if there was a Board meeting this week, he may not be employed for much longer after it

Are we talking about the men or the women? No wins between them this weekend.

The CEO up at Joondalup may need to have a hard discussion with the men's coach very soon if Wolves continue to spiral!!

Have heard from several different sources from multiple clubs, Summerville could be gone by as early as tonight from both positions up at the Wolves. Believe there has been an urgent Board Meeting called to determine an outcome moving forward for the club, in particular the Men's program.

Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?

Ethan Elliot is yet to turn 18, averaging 11 points ppg @ 40%, a tad under 3 assists pg, playing 20 odd min per game against the best WA men have to offer, and you're wondering if the kid can play? Stood up at U18 AJC against the best in his age group, made CoE and NBA Global Academy players look pedestrian. Don't worry, kid can go ok and will thrive when given a chance in Canberra.

How's the wolves women signing Martin?

Clutching at straws now. Can’t win with what you have?

Did anyone proof read that article? It's barely in English.

At a minimum, the Wolves men's coaching position can no longer be tenable given it's not just their record, but it's the way they are losing too. Then the reports of player and support staff abuse allegations, makes you wonder why they don't just cut their losses with him in all aspects and let one of their plethora of assistant coaches see out the season at the very least. Summerville is doing so bad at the moment, some at the Wolfpack may be doing the seemingly unthinkable and wish they had Ettridge back!

Just what Suns need another guard

Be interesting to see if any more kiwis or imports cross ditch now their season has finished

Wolves men are at 10-1 to beat Perry Lakes tonight. What a fall from grace.

Wow Wolves win. Are we going to turn a corner now? Should've got on at those 10-1 odds.

Joondalchoke spend the most - aprox the same as Bumbury, East Perth, Suns,Cockburn and Perf combined.

Who else would Cockburn be paying?

$20K for one player and not much else is not a big spending club haha

HAHAHAHAHA Chan and Holmes getting paid.

^^^ This guy clearly knows nothing about Cockburn.

Field gets left over crackers, has barely been paid his whole career.

Pretty much every player - locals get paid.

And the parents of all the little WABL'ers are just so happy about it.

Summerville likely built in as obligation of his employment and not specific salary.

Thwaites similar, except made choice not to take NBL1 coach payment. But Cockburn pays him well as CEO.

Depends on the club anon.

Would think at Wolves its possible.

Would think at Cougars (no where near as cut throat) would be unlikely.

Another Men's game and yet another loss. Either get rid of this disaster of an appointment Wolves Board or don't expect much support when you each come up for Re-election, starting with you President Hunter. We are an absolute shambles on and off the court in both NBL1 and WABL. We once branded ourselves the Destination of Choice for Basketballers. What a crock that is. Both Warwick and Perry Lakes are significantly ahead of us in almost all areas yet we shove our heads in the sand like nothing is wrong. Not to mention the severe lack of junior development in the Women's program, but then what do our aspiring juniors have to aim for when out NBL1 Women's coach keeps recruiting anyone who can dribble a ball from outside our own club and giving them court time before our own kids. Either stop the bleeding now or step aside so those who do want the club to succeed in the future can show you what you've been doing wrong!
