Absolutely puts Wildcats in the driver seat for a long way.

I think wildcats have recruited well this year. It is going to be enjoyable watching them play.

Doubters gonna Doubt!

This was the plan from the start (as in a Local Centre)

The @PerthWildcats have gone all in on the perimeter with import PG/SG, SG/SF & SF/PF. They'd been looking for an import C but pivoted recently, due to lack of quality bigs on import market. Frazier’s availability & Hodgy re-engaging with @NBL teams brought new plan together.

Hodgson's size is sorely needed in this team.

You can't just rely on Majok, especially since he is coming off a 1 season absence.

This team is good.

I am looking forward to Sixers Vs Wildcats as usual, I think Humphries and DJ will give Hodgson and Law troubles, but of course they have Cotton.

Gross.

Not a fan of the walking foul.

So if things work out then I'll be wrong and good for them as currently having Hodgson and Majok as your 2 5 men leaves a bit to be desired.

Always a voice of reason Luuuc ;)

I trust the coaches to know better than me :D

He seemed to do less bone headed stuff at Brisbane compared to when he was with Adelaide.

Hodgy will be fine in Perth, perfect pickup for them imo.

Needs to shake the reputation of being a dumb arse. Perhaps playing in front of a big crowd that demands excellence and on a team with a strong culture will be just the tonic?

If on his game, genuine potential to easily be a top 5 frontline player in the league. Brisbane would've been better with him but have gone the Aldi route.

A Local Centre was the plan from the start, under Gleeson. Granted, with Gleeson, he was looking for a 20 minute proposition. Don't know if that changes under Scomo. Early on they were trying to get Reath.

And yes, an Import Wing was also always the plan.
I'm almost surprised that it didn't change with the New Management, and who knows, they possibly did explore "all options" but came back to what they knew would work.

It's weird that they still talk about having completed their roster. They don't appear to have signed a designated replacement, and obviously with Blanch's injury that player will be in the team from game one.

I'm just astonished that Majok Majok is being called upon to be a 15-20 minute player. Has his game evolved much from his time with the Breakers? Because otherwise, yikes.

This still seems like a 'pending Bryce Cotton citizenship' contender.

Hodgson - 'kin good bloke.. A lotta those fouls aint fouls..

This really sucks and I'll tell you why, Majok is looking trim and terrific and I want him to be the NBL leading rebounder as he was with Hakim Warrick backing him up (for the first few months of the season) and I’d love to start Jook and have Hodson coming off the bench as I want Matt fresh and out of foul trouble going into the last quarter. To me Hodgson could be an Olympian and play 5-10 minutes a game and provide great rim protection (plenty could play that role I know) but this sucks because there is no way that Jook is playing that much and Matt will do some head scratching acts and yes be victimized by bad calls too but hopefully this squad can work it out as it feels like we need a next star that’s a big otherwise maybe we could play Travers at the 5 (he is taller than Wildcats championship heroes Crawford and Knight) so who knows how ScoMo will line up this season

It's hard speculate too much, because obviously Scomo will be different to Gleeson
Trevor would usually go small sometimes 10 to 15 minutes per game. Typically asking around the 20 minute mark for his starting Centre, and 5 to 10 minutes from his backup
That said, if somebody like you Jook going, she would typically let him run

Interesting to see how Scomo runs things

ScoMo isn't in the country yet and is coaching remotely. Hopefully it doesn't impede things moving forward.

Good memory #283 - so the current NBL ScoMo isn't even the original. ScoMo v2 doesn't sound too bad.

This ScoMo has been an assistant coach at the Celtics for the past few years totally different one to the big stiff that played for the Tigers, funnily enough they're both Canadian too.

Perthworld, the current NBL ScoMo isn't even the original.

The original didn't become PM, did he?
