Wow really? Must have been a weak season, but this is definitely bigger as someone actually saw this win, unlike a Shield final.
no, it was a good season.

That Tassie Team in 2006/7 would smash this year's Tigers by an innings. Hilfy, Wright, Paine, Diva, Griff, Bails and, of course, the Butterworth grand final special.

It Makes me sad thinking about how much the quality has dropped in the Shield in a decade and a bit.

Yep, quality is terrible these days but some on the cricket board won’t admit it!

I do remember a story before the final that someone still playing was in that team and he didn’t think he was good enough at that young age.

Belated congrats to the mighty Jack Jumpers from me.
In Melbourne with no Lee and half a Magnay .. that was a massive achievement to get that done.
Did get messy down the stretch but that will happen in game 5 when most guys on both teams have given everything they've got.

Couldn't be happier for Tassie, and breaking up the big team title monopoly is a great result for the NBL too IMO.

Epic series. One of the very best in my time as an NBL fan. Takes 2 teams for that to happen so congrats to United as well for their part in it, but man a team that stacked really should have done better. Classic case of great team >> team of great individuals.
 
Doyle wanting to stay in Tassie and get citizenship is great news. Wasn't as good as last season but would definitely lock him in.

Sounds like they'll try and run same squad which is great. Arguments for and against for Lee and Crawford again but given the hit and miss of imports why risk a change. Sean Mac will need a significant pay rise to keep I imagine. You'd probably try and get upgrades on Krslovic and Bairstow of those that saw minutes.

That’s great news. I miss the days of long term imports getting citizenship and settling in Australia.
 
Pretty certain Sean Mac has another year on his contract. He won’t be a DP next season tho.
I’d love the whole squad to return. But to some basketball is a business. So I get it if guys (specifically imports) leave

Crawford back for JJs. Wasn't sure with that one and would be surprised if they didn't look around before re-signing. Sean Mac makes it a bit easier to deal with Crawfords inconsistencies but as we saw in game 5 when he's on he is dangerous.

Excellent news, hope it comes to be.

Not the same organisation since it was sold to the SEG.

Never liked or trusted that slimy prick, Hutchison.

The sooner it reverts back to Western Australian ownership the better IMO.
 
Spanish player Izan Almansa joins the Wildcats as a Next Star.
Participated in the 2024 NBA draft combine but withdrew from the draft with the hope of improving his draft stocks for 2025.
He won the MVP at the 2022 U17 WC, 2022 U18 European Championships and the 2023 U19 WC.

Looks like the sale of the Wildcats is going through - no more Hutchy!!!

 
The 36ers have already imploded, sacking Scott Ninnis.


And the press conference explaining it is a train wreck.


Looks like Ninnis got white anted given the guy that they hired to be his asst coach now has the job.
