Mackenzie Clinch-Hoycard would have to be the number one prized recruit for the Goldfields Women's NBL1 West team next year.

No way Parker-Williams returns to perth unless assistant coaches are gone also.

Lots of coaching vacancies in the womens

99.9% of these rumors are absolutely made up for the sake of conversation

".....talented player wants to join the adoption agency and be called fat whilst given a dieting regime!? Or does he only do that to the younger players?"

WTF? You better have this right. Saying shit like this is outrageous.

Unfortunately it is 100% true, it has been verified by past Cougars within the team at the time and others close to the source

Don't get too excited it Jamie O’laughlan. Won’t be long until he’s getting roasted on here for being worse than nixy, Ettridge and Lako combined!

O loughlin moving to WA but not Wolves!

seriously, when is parso going to get an NBL gig?

hands down the best coach in the league and has been for some time.

Parsons to NBL? Yeah ok......

Srdarev gone from EP, another womens gig up for grabs

Interesting. He seemed to do well at East Perth? Will he take goulding with him?

What ever happened to long term deals? All these 1-2 season stints

Hahahahahaha! Parson's to NBL, not in anyone's wildest fantasies. To egotistic to do the hard yards, no interest in development, just wants glory. The very reason why guys like Forde, Brennan and Crawford get the roles, prepared to do the hard yards and put the work in, not just blow their own smoke and hot air.

Ego (if it exists) aside, he has the best shot of any of the NBl1 West coaches. Record speaks for itself. What are the hard yards? Hes won 3 titles... those are the hardest things to win

Never spoken to the guy BTW.

Hard yards at next level, doing the grunt work, setting up/taking down equipment, realising you aren't the head coach, taking orders, adding value to the program, things he clearly can't do because = ego. Like many a dominant player at NBL1, it doesn't always translate at the next level, right. Parsons has won championships thanks to his leaders, not ones he developed, ones he inherited, Gavin Field and Ben Purser, they are the ones the players listen to and play for.

Don't need to hate on the guy. What parsons has done is no small feat - 3x championships will have him down as one of the best sbl nbl1 west coaches of all time.

But yes. Training twice and having a team with a bigger budget than the East Perth, Kalmaunda, Bunbury etc is probably more his strength. Would he have the relationships with players, agents, coaches at the next level ? Well probably no. And the role of assistant coach these days so much more towards the technical side which isn’t his strength either.

Doesn’t diminish what he has achieved

I think it is unfair to not give Parsons at least some credit here - clearly he can coach very well at this level, because as others have said, the results do speak for themselves. Whether that would translate to the next level is a different discussion - just like how players who dominate NBL1 level aren't necessarily NBL talents.

People also forgot that for the Cockburn one, Field injured his arm and missed the semi finals and the final and the same was the case with Holman tearing his ACL for Perry Lakes in Game 1 of their 3 game semi final series in 2018 and missing the final. Both those teams would have gone into the grand final as big underdogs and still managed to get up.

i also recall gavin field was out injured for the GF he won at cockburn.

and to say he doesnt develop players is an stretch. this guy gets production out of guys that would probably barely rate a mention in other rosters. Before parsons got to perry lakes nobody had even heard of Matt Leary and whenever someone mentioned Mitch Clarkes name everyone thought of the Mitch Clarke who played for Willetton. Look at Andrew Ferguson's stats for SBL previous to this year. granted he was younger and hadnt had a year of DP under his belt i dont think any anticipated he would be runner up league MVP and GF MVP? (as a sidebar, how you come runner up MVP and dont make the all-star 5 for the league blows my mind)

He may not be doing little dribblers at 3:30 on a wednesday arvo but to say he doesnt develop players is laughable.

This ego argument is also laughable. Andy Stewart would have to be one of the most confident in his own abilities youve ever met and was able to make the jump to an NBL assistant. A championship winning NBL assistant at that. I wonder how he went setting up and packing up equipment and adding value. hes BWA HOF now!

"how you come runner up MVP and dont make the all-star 5 for the league blows my mind" different voting, simple

Yes Parsons has won three championships, which is a great achievement for sure. No one should be knocking that, but we all know players win championships no matter what level you are at.

But more importantly, whoever is pumping his tyres, do you know if he has ever applied for the next level. If you or anyone thinks that someone is going to just come knocking on your door and offer you a job then that's pretty naive (or arrogant).

I’m sure if he took the time to apply for a job at the next level he would at least get interviewed for an assistant role. Has he done this? If not, why not? But to jump on here and say he should be in the NBL as a professional based on reputation is a bit over the top. Again, players win championships!!!!

Perfect, end of that conversation. Let's move on!

What are the player movement rumours in the men?

Player movements after the GF just done? Yeah good one champ.

That's not true. He reaches out to the wildcat office every type there is a coaching movement

That's not true. He reaches out to the wildcat office every type there is a coaching movement

Don't avoid the question KR.

Is it such a bad thing if half the players from Suns men's program walk away as well? That list is in desperate need of a change. The whole place needs a reset.

if the "players win championships" mantra is so accurate why dont we see any NBL1 teams going without a coaching staff?

the truth is that championship teams win championships. That includes players and coaches. if you have the best coach in the world and dont have the players you arent winning. If you have the best players in the competition and an incompetent coach you arent winning.

The fact of the matter is that in any given season there are usually numerous teams that have a championship calibre playing roster. Often what separates them is their coach. Their ability to get the most out of that roster and overcome hurdles that come their way. Parsons has proven he is every bit a difference maker in the championships his teams have won.

some very public airing of incidents occuring at suns this year on social media. very damning for the current leadership if true.

Good people who have invested their heart and soul into the club dont just walk for no reason.

Add hawks to that list. Doccy won't be back in 2022.

allen out at redbacks

Alan Black is involved with the Darling Range Sporting academy Basketball program. He is literally based less than 5km from Ray Owen and the Eastern Suns.

Craig Allen gone from redbacks made official through their socials tonight

Parsons to Wolves Men, chasing another championship and wants the $$ that Wolves are happy to spend. No interest in developing so keen to use the cheque book to recruit and pad out his championship wins.

Wolves coach will come from interstate.

Thanks parsons. The "hey" at the end of a sentence was the give away

Not really a great discussion to have on here Perthworld. Let's not go down this road of discussing players and coaches wives. Just leave it. It’s a slippery slope which can lead to some serious problems.

Wolves have 18 teams in semi finals

What grade are those 18 teams in?
Three of their 1st teams were knocked out by another clubs 2's!
2 of those divisions not even championship.

New guy whoever they get has some work to do on that front

Better representation on champs division than most

Wolves have only 7 (?) in champs. 18 and 12 boys not in champs

4 in champ division - 12 girls, 14 boys, 16 girls and 16 boys

8 of their 18 semi finalists were 1st or 2nd

What divisions?

Back to nbl1
Coaching merry go round?

Srdarev to Lakeside?

Allen surely be able to take over somewhere if he was up for a rebuilding club.

how long until Binar join WABL and NBL1?

Surely years away

Is Ellis going around again at Warwick? Any talk out of Gero on Coach Joseph going again?

Ettridge to Suns? Trahair rumoured to be out of Mandurah?

"how long until Binar join WABL and NBL1?"

they need actual ground work first, such as a stadium and their own competition

Really, Binar into WABL? Adam has done an amazing job with Binar (Vlahov more recently) but they still piggy back of the work of those associations mentioned, participating and benefiting from their respective domestic comps.
If Binar teams are playing in those domestic comps, they should be trialling and competing as a part of those association WABL teams. If they wish to stand alone, run your own domestic comps and then select teams (when you have the facilities to be able to) to compete in WABL from there, can't have it both ways?
Then to hear they are actively encouraging indigenous athletes to not trial for WABL association teams is very disappointing.

Srdarev to Lakeside, and has already announced walking from East Perth, is that somewhere Allen could land?

Have only just caught up on the latest here, bahahahahahahahaaa at Parso being called out. Don't worry, he's his own biggest fan. I agree we shouldn't be talking wives and girlfriends here, not the point, but to call himself a "solid 7", well, solid maybe, not a 7 though. (Sorry, off topic, but WAY too obvious from Parso not to call out).

Ooffff, their fb post is going to age like milk

Ettridge announced as suns head coach

Why would Srdarev leave in the first place? Had a successful season with a deep finals run

Have seen overweight coaches at high level before.
Rick Majeris springs to mind.

Parsons could also try a diet or excercise.
His life though.

some real dumb comments and some real gems two balls

binar would put many wabl clubs to shame already and would certainly be competitive at NBL1 level already. once they get their ducks lined up to BWA liking it will be an interesting transition for the competition

bit of a below the belt comment about matty parso physique! he is a coaching adonis

suns just advertised their womens head coach role. good luck to whoever takes that one on!

would love to hear your take on slammers and eagles apart from them being beaten by Binar

You'd think Kearsley would get a go at PL wouldn't you if Black wasn't around?

Pretty sure Doccy will be back

What happened to nixy coaching the wolves men?

Mix won't be at Wolves.

hawkies with 5-peat in males: 18-2, 18ch, 20ch, champ men, and nbl1

Willo same with girls
18.1 win champ, 2's made semi’s, 16’s win champ, 2’s just miss finals, 14 girls undefeated all year and stumble, 2’s made semi’s.

Add to nbl1 title.

Srdarev will be circling like a vulture to pick a few off

ParSO iS NoT ABouT DevELoPmENt


not sure what the Srdarev comment is about.

Srdarev coaching lakeside women

Yep, not hard to join the dots really.

On another note, great to see a big spread of clubs taking out champ divisions.
We can all sit here and pot each other all we like, but the success recently of state teams, players going into high levels, and the increasing quality of our junior leagues is great to see and result of all people involved at all clubs

I think the sraderev move is interesting. I personally don't like the fact he moved on. he was developing some kids and a good culture. is he a good coach ? he bought in 5/6 players of quality which they needed for sure. I worry for east perth again next season they will be back to square one , new coach limited talent as everyone will follow sraderev and erin fisher has gone down with an A.C.L
I believe rockingham will have some trouble keeping a couple of key wnbl players next season , strong rumours a few are on the move.

Srdarev claimed needed a break then on phone recruiting for his new team within days.
Have the balls to tell Eagles leaving for something better, don't give bs reasons

'Blake has recently informed the club he is calling it a day with coaching'

If I was TT I would be watching my back. Nicole has had influence in getting a couple of coaches sacked at Suns and we know whose waiting in the wings.

b4 finals Srdarev told them he wasnt signing the 2022 contract - uncertain of future but would consider options - he didnt tell players he wasnt returning until after the season - was handled well. Eagles MD posted on FB he knows it wont be his last gig, hardly dishonest by Blake who can coach, a crooked Eagle needs to move on you did well

before srdarev arrived at eagles they had won maybe 1 game in about 5 years? not sure how much development was happening within the club during that time.

not only did he create a whole new winning culture in the team he did it in a way that more than shows he can coach. Goulding was a marquee signing and a big coup for srdarev and the club. Fejo was not in the inner circle at cougars and was on the out. Srdarev really used her as a great support to Goulding. Moyes career had stalled completely after major injury disruption. He took a chance on her coming off a major knee surgery when most others wouldnt have. she was fantastic. Mader really came into her own during the season.

As much as people can sit back and make a flippant statement that he just recruited 5/6 players in and its easy clearly have no idea. to get players from all different places, many of whom others had given up on or under rated and get them to gel the way he did takes a lot of skill and talent as a coach. hats off to him.

it just goes to show that even if a club is a basket case in the background, a skilled and talented coach can still be successful. it just usually means they move on quickly to a more supportive and stable environment pretty quickly when they get the chance.

Luke Brennan new head coach of the warwick senators mens team.

does anyone know if aaron trahair is coaching Mandurah magic men next season ? he done some work with an aussie junior team this year I think.

Let what go?

No

Brennan announced as Senators new Mens Coach

any word on remaining vacant positions?

Suns in real trouble

Wow what a downgrade from Craig Allen. Thought they were meant to be retaining players?

You'll think I’m lying when I say this, but dead ass serious, he just got an AC job at the Wildcats

No way, the cats assistant coaches are locked in with Mike Kelly, Luke Brenndan and Keegan Crawford

I put my house on it.
They've created a manager/coach role

makes sense, the Wildcats only have about half the coaching staff compared to the wolves who had about 8 assistants in their highly unsuccessful program this year!

so much for 'taking a break'.....

Will East Perth be able to keep any or majority of last seasons recruits?

Goulding, Mader, Penese, Fejo/Kelly
Obviously Moyes will stick around now

Do the Slammers manage to field a team in 2022?

If so who steps up to the coaching plate since both women's and men’s coaches have stepped aside

what happened to Worthington?

Their better younger female athletes are moving to other clubs as well.

Worthington moving on to the board... basically just a way out in my opinion but what would I know.

Are you talking Slammers females??

What is the issue with slammers? They have the whole southern region of WA to themselves and still can't develop players and be competitive?

Any player that shows any sign of talent gets snapped up by another team.

Plus University in Perth will always be a massive factor

Tim Rendulic appointed head coach of Eastern Suns women

Mia Jacobs back to lakeside

What will Morrell do in the west comp? 15 and 8 or so?

The coaching pool is even thinner than it seemed

So any news on East Perth men and women side??

Player wise

Morell averaged 23 and 12 in Central

^^Including 37pts 22rbs in 29 mins

I can see what she averaged in central. But what does that look like in west? As best I can tell 15 and 8 sounds about right? Solid role player?

With the way the West league is at the moment, the same stats is probably right. Maybe slight under.. 20/11

Shes better than Isenbarger who averaged 18/8 in West womens

Has she played against isenbarger before?

the coaching pool is even thinner than we thought ? YEP ABSOLUTLEY.
if you go back a few years now the womens coaching ranks were really strong and the competition really strong . obviously imports play a key role in this .
wolves- craig Friday
senators- greg Clarke
hawks - cj Jackson
tigers - simon parker
lightning craig Mansfield
cougars - john triscari
magic - randy miegel
flames - ryan petrick

of the current womens coachs parker,alava and smith stand out to me
then there is daylight .

id put Srdarev in there before the daylight

Ok Ty, don't get too worked up mate

Anon, Parker is a problem??!! How so?

parker is a nbl1 champion

Looks like Wolves women breaking up. Will probably cue a ton of movement with them opening the chequebook to attract new players.

Who's going where or what are the rumours from the Wolves women?

Or who will they look to bring in??

Rendulic probably takes a few doesnt he?

Denehey and Belcher?

Any chance Goulding, Fejo and Mader return to play under Megan Thompson?

Definitely going to stay with Srdarev?
Fejo to Mandurah makes sense

Fejo is a much better player than "wherever someone takes her"

Mader might end up at Lakeside don't think Goulding will. Surely over east in a stronger comp??

Wolves spending big again.

Atkinson had a great WC Classic should look to return to that form.

South West should fold

Turnage like Morrell will probably be a 15 and 8 guy in WA

Both yes

Atkinson 4 clubs in 4 years. Quality right there

Loves to chase losing records to get shots up

any other potential signings at suns men?

would envisage joe cook green being back for them considering he is running a whole bunch of camps and stuff for them at the moment

with the shamozle at wolves this year, does ettridge manage to convince any of those guys to join him up the hill with his previous connections to the wolves club?

Any Idea when imports will be allowed in NBL1 West again?

wow kobe passive aggressive much?

i think the question more related to when will normality return to what we traditionally see with each team getting 2 imports each season?

the ability to recruit directly from overseas, on sports visas or working holiday visas etc

Lets be honest, while the NBL1 product and structure raised the professionalism, marketing and coverage of games, the standard of the competition was lower not having these players in our league

The league is much better without people coming in for one season, taking a bunch of cash, and leaving the country.

Step family club killing it this off season

those players who come from a year, take a bunch of cash and leave the country dont raise the standard of the league?

Because we have a plethora of high level pro talent coming out of D league and U18's or returning from D1 college every year and don't need imports?

Suns streaming down the hill as fast as they can, mass junior rep exodus

Slammers already at the bottom of the hill

Rob Beveridge announced as high performance manager at the Rockingham Flames

What's the latest news and rumours around the league?

I’m the women’s, Will the top dogs of last season Sharp, Goulding, Dyer and the likes all be back in the league.

Pirini signing at Perth is huge for them

Are Goulding and Dyer pretty much confirmed?

Duet I figured would be back as she won't be moving states or country.

Where do you get the Goulding info from? Thought she may be looking at Europe or over east.

Goulding, Mader, Isenbarger front court??

Or will Ash move elsewhere?

What about on the men's side? Any news on Grace moving? Or any other big names switching teams

parker signed with magic

Isn't Parsons Perry Lakes?

Isn't Parsons Perry Lakes?

Maybe not for long.

Heard he finally getting his NBL call up to coaching

Parsons aint going anywhere

Rebecca Motroni signed at Redbacks, is there anything left at the suns?

Word is Cairns as an AC.

Denehey annouced

Rendulic will attract no more than previous coaches have to the club.

Heading into November surely a whole bunch of signings happen and get announced shortly.

Anyone have any fresh news?

Rendulic won't bring no rebuild success

That's old news

How was he able to get out of the Hermit Kingdom?

What are you talking about? There is no mention of R@nD0m. Did it get deleted?

Ok thank you Travis.

Probably highlights the fact they have some actual family values and tradition instead of just raiding other clubs.
Doesn't read like all of them have family members that played?

Lakeside going to keep Isenbarger and Clarke?

Could be a dangerous team with Jacobs and an East Perth player or 2 coming in with Srdarev

Wasn't talking about Goulding.

Gowland and maybe Mader

Assuming Goulding doesn't return to East Perth does she stay over East or a new team in NBL1 West?

work for Boucaut at your peril

Where are the comments?

Surely some in the know's have some fresh rumours or confirmed signings with clubs?

Mandurah confirming another signing tomorrow...

Anyone have any ideas or knowledge??

Maddie Allen to Cougars

Who's Mandurah’s new "Big" signing?

Mandurah have done it again huge signing " ray turner "MVP.

What are the issues at rockingham?

What 'events' have happened this week?

I hear cibba may take the BWA South West regional officer job. Her partner is from that area. She may be based out of Mandurah.

how long until bevo takes the coaching reigns?

If Cibba takes that job and is based out of Mandurah does she play for the South West or Mandurah??

There is no way on this planet that she will play for the s**tshow that is South West

BWA job has already been filled and is based out of Albany

Is that BWA South West job or a different one with BWA? Run from Albany

Who's that Cougar signing mentioned above? New player to the league or an MVP level player from last season??

Did she play for Rockingham this year???

So that rules her out

Stacey Barr
Mary Goulding

Could it be either of these two??

I think it will be someone from over east like Marley rather than someone who was in NBL1 West this past season

Two (?) in 16b this season that were willo 14 ajc team a few years ago

Who cares!!!!! This is an NBL1 thread. Start a WABL whinging thread if you want to carry on about that stuff.

Gero and Mandurah men's teams with two significant signings. Anyone know of others in the pipeline?

Buccs sign 2021 NBL1 Central import Cameron Coleman

https://www.facebook.com/geraldtonbuccaneers/posts/10157874919141148

Why do so many want to leave Willetton? What are they doing wrong?

Not many leaving?

Few years ago a whole team walked out down the road. Clearances seem pretty standard so far.

Not?

previous COTY
previous SBL personality of the year
previous championship winning coach

whats not to like?

Last week everyone was saying
"Surely some in the know's have some fresh rumours or confirmed signings with clubs?"
What about the Buccs signings late last week.
I also remember someone saying a few weeks ago that the Hawks wouldnt let Mansfield anywhere near the place Sooo wrong.

A few clubs are shit shows at the moment!

Anyone hear anything about some kind of investigation going on by the board into the mens program at PL?

Investigations into what exactly?

Goff and Nalder announced as Slammers coaches.

They going to sign anyone? Lol

Nalder???? Wow Slammers are going from strength to strength. The club is an absolute mess from the juniors to the seniors. No NBL1 women signed and players leaving left and right

The club is a joke. 2022 will be there final season for sure.

Women obviously in big trouble already, the men's team played hard and a decent brand under Worthington but now talented young players are signing elsewhere and they will be replaced by not much.

Curtains

Which is a damn shame. The league is better with strong regional teams. It doesn't really make sense that people outside the club are trashing it when its good for the league if they can put a good team together.

Some Perth metro teams fail to put better teams out there without the struggles that Bunbury has.

bring back ty harrelson

SW juniors are willing to travel to Mandurah or Rockingham to avoid having to play for Slammers. Bunbury Bears and Busselton Blazers juniors won't touch Slammers.

One day Bears will gain a WABL license and the South West concept can finally die.

The SW Sports Centre will also hopefully have 6+ courts in the future, that way everyone can move on from the shit hole that is Eaton Rec Centre.

its crazy to think teams like the southwest slammers cannot field competitive teams in NBL1.

its 2 hours from perth, located on the beach, has a decent facility despite the comment above about it being a shit hole haha. i would take it over wally hagan and belmont oasis any day.

Goldfields manages to get Perth players relocating out there to play. its 7 hours from perth and some would say a shit hole in comparison to other towns. they dont have a wabl program but still develop some decent locals. currently have 4 local kids in college right now.

Geraldton also has a similar scenario and manage to get players up there.

Surely it can work in Southwest? they have a lot more of an advantage to these other towns and clubs so it would seem?

BWA CEO is not president anymore. Locals are ruining things

Stephen Black heading to Victoria to coach Bendigo

Anyone heard anything regarding East Perth?

Can they bring back Roberts and Goulding for the men and women? Or any other re-signings or new signings?

Neseya Parker-Williams to move to east perth to play with both Tahlia and Jasmin Fejo.

Tessa Boagni linked to multiple teams - played on NZ national team with Goulding.

Nesaya to East Perth legit??

What teams are Boagni linked to??

Would she likely be playing alongside Goulding somewhere?
Thought Mary would be moving on for sure but perhaps she stays West

That news above would be huge for East Perth - Parker-Williams + Fejo x2 You add Goulding to that plus Fisher, Moyes and Penese and they are on again.

East Perth have quite the influx of cash. Signings havent finished yet.

So Goulding is returning then?

Thats the word

So Goulding, Parker Williams, Fejo x2??

Plus the depth from last season obviously losing Mader and Eryn Fisher possibly out a while.
Perhaps a contender

So Mader to Lakeside and the rest of last year's roster stays?

Anyone care to an updated look at each roster with the ins and outs?

Rumours and confirmed signings

So Goulding, Parker Williams, Fejo x2??

Plus the depth from last season obviously losing Mader and Eryn Fisher possibly out a while.
Perhaps a contender

Just with a terrible coach.....

When are any of these signings going to be announced??
East Perth

who cares about east perth

If those signings are true which I have my doubts they'll be right up there

Goldfields Giants with two big signings in big Manylok Malek and PG Jesse Ghee.

also signed an american wing Hussayn Ford

Country teams look to be making some early signings with state and international borders beginning to open up.

Except the one down south. They need to fold, Worthington no longer on board. It's all over red rover

Rocko Women building a strong 5 with Burrows, Cibba, Boag and now Taylor Ortlepp joining the team.

Ortlepp was 19ppg in the SA league and AUS junior rep.

probably looking to add another big.

Cibbatoni is not playing there next season

Maybe you should ask the players why they leave clubs Charles Brady to play at Cockburn, or anywhere else for that matter. You realise this is adult basketball we are talking about right?

If you want to whine about WABL Charles Brady set up your own thread

Can't see East Perth signing the Fejo’s, Parker-Williams and Goulding, where is the money coming from???

Marshall Nelson joining the flames

You'd think Rockingham are the favourites in the men now

Where is Cibba playing next season??

Goulding signing in QLD I think,

Parker-Williams back to Perth.

Have heard nothing about the Fejo sister's

Where's she heading then?

No way Parker-williams will play for Fletcher, burnt that bridge years ago

So is she East Perth bound or back at Joondalup?

jervis back at flames

Was the rest of it made up too?

Like Goulding and the Fejo sister's?

Nelson to the Flames will be interesting. he has had the green light for redbacks to really run things. its been his team really

cant imagine that being the case at flames with guys like godfrey, jervis and hire if he is back there. add in beard and a few other guys like Bior and such, who will all want their fair share of touches and shots it will be interesting to see how they gel

Shaq Maharaj in WA for now.
Will he sign for a team in WA?

haha no way nelson comes off the bench in any scenario

No way Godfrey gives up the PG role and why would he. It's his team

Harri Bowater from Melbourne signed by Flames

the under 20 mens competition was much improved this year from years past. would be great to see this trend continue and for the women to also have this division

i always thought the youth league model in melbourne worked pretty well at presenting it as a higher standard league. they do the full court announcing, intros, music etc that you would see at an nbl1 or big v game.
scheduling night games also gives it a different feel

Shot clock in under 20s raised the bar for sure. You had d-league and even some nbl1 players in 20s this year, which was great. Adding shot clock forced teams to take it a little more seriously.

"Why not just expand D league and allow mores teams to be entered"

I think that is what will happen for the women

Mia Satie returning to Perry Lakes.
Emma Clarke announced to join them too.

Who's Srdarev signing over at Lakeside??

And Daniels? Hearing both Isenbargers out for this year

Sharp re signed at Willetton. Huge to be able to retain the reigning MVP. Has Lubcke re signed also?

Goulding signing over East.
Penese back to NZ.
Mader to Lakeside.
With Fisher out not much left at EP.

Hayes-Brown to Willo joining Vigor to form very big front court. With borders opening up again you'd think there might be potential to have some big bodies back in the league!

nener typically uses his bigs really well. going to be a heck of a front court with vigor, hayes-brown and guys like Gerovich and collins to round it out

Willetton announced basically everyone back in the last few days. Anyone of note missing?

Julian Pesava to the Wolfpack

Bought not built

Back on that old chestnut again

Many clubs doing same

You have to in order to win.

Even Perry Lakes of last year topped up with their front court signings

Nat Burton to Warwick a big one.

Alex Ciabbitoni to the Slammers

She got the development job down there. Whether she plays remains to be seen

She's committed to playing I’ve heard

Shes in for a miserable year then

With Dugan and Cibba maybe Nalder can add one more from outside the current Group and they somewhat compete??

Warwick splashing out! Those sweet sweet CCSRA dollars being put to good use

If Slammers women sign Cibba they may win a couple of games. Christmas miracle

Heard the Slammers men have lost a few guys from last year's team.

Keller, Craig and Vogel possibly more

Long year ahead.

Devan Craig at redbacks

Goulding not returning to East Perth

Fejo/Kelly possibly to Lakeside??

Slammers announce everyone returning bar Devan Craig

Anyone have any other recent updates??

Marshall Nelson picked as up by Cairns Taipans as injury replacement for Scott Machado. He will suit up against the wildcats on NYE.

https://www.taipans.com/news/taipans-sign-nominated-replacement

Having the bwa ceo as their gm is really paying dividends

Maley to NBL1 West???? That's huge

Slammers new coach was on the news just 2 days ago saying everyone was back and trying to drum up some sort of excitement.

Would not surprise though if there was no team.

Any idea which team Maley and or Whittle are signing with?

Maley and Whittle would be wanting a total package deal wouldnt they?

"Strong rumour doing the rounds that the Slammers will not be entering a men's team next season"

lol what a bunch of bs. They have a coach and the fixtures were released to clubs 2 weeks ago, with slammers definitely in.

When will the fixtures be released? Can't be too far away surely

Whittle to Lakeside is my guess, not that I have any knowledge

Happy new year to all.

Big year for a few clubs I think.

Fixtures released within a couple of weeks?

BWA

Is she definitely playing for the Slammers?

Wolfpack underwhelming signing of pesava. Has Cummings re signed? The old guard have joined their old coach up the hill

Pesava, Wade and Turnage, 3 legit wing scorers. What else do they have on that roster now?

Turnage is great pickup. He'll be the main guy on that team. He and Wade will be tough. Not sold on pesava. Will he be ok being 3rd/4th option?

He's gonna have to be, not good enough to be the main guy in this league and have success

Cibba 100% got the Slammers role. Anita Reca got the BWA role

I said BWA because it's a south west BWA role.

Is she playing for the Slammers though?

Anyone else heard a big name from last season heading to Kalamunda on the womens side?

Maddie Allen???

Maddie is the only big name left right?

Goulding hasn't signed anywhere?

Or it hasn’t been announced

What happened to a comment above about East Perth having quite the influx of cash??

Are they going to sign anyone or are they back to competing with the Slammers for wooden spoon honours in both comps.

Goulding, Allen or Cibba to Kalamunda.

They seem to be the big names unsigned

Lubcke?
