Champion are the ner jersey sponsors

 

[HulkSmash]

I really hope the teams improve the positioning of sponsors on the jersey

Well judging by the Kings jersey.....not by much. Although, Brydens' logo isn't a easy logo to slot in at that size:

Last season it was basically the corners of the arena. Not up close and personal with the game, but you get a decent view.

cheers. I went there for one game last season was in bottom of top stand mid court. Was very good viewing despite the horrible performance.

Machado back to Cairns on a 2 year deal.

Huge to get Machado and Oliver back. These Cairns re-signings are the biggest the NBL has had in years imo, bigger than Cotton. For a small market team like Cairns to retain such quality guys is huge for the league.

That’s absolutely fantastic, go the snakes.

Tate is off to the NBA, joining Weaver at the Rockets on a 3 year deal.

Personally see him struggling in the NBA. Did very well as a very undersized PF in the NBL where he was able to use his athleticism and speed to make up for his lack of size, won't have those advantages in the NBA though. Not sure he's skilled enough to be a good NBA SG/SF either.

Very surprised he's on a 3 year deal, I would have thought they'd go just the 1 to try him out.

Charles Barkley was an undersized Power Forward at 6'5" and Tate is very much in that mould. I'm not claiming he's on Sir Charles level but he could be a solid sixth man through out his NBA career.

That seems like kind of a crazy comparison, but regardless I'm very happy for the guy.
Like BG__ I am surprised - no way I would have picked him to get a 3 year deal right off the bat - but hope he carves out a niche for himself. The more successful NBL -> NBA conversions we see the better it is for our league.

Huge signing for United. If they can get a defensive minded import at the 5, they’ll be right in contention

Interesting that they're still keeping a small part of the tax deductible option as not tax deductible, and then treating members who take this option as non-members for the season.

Which is quite the contrast to what several AFL clubs offered members, who offered both the tax deductibility (minus a membership fee) with all the perks associated with the members pledge option.

Cam Bairstow's brother coming in to replace Majok Majok. Interesting move signing a QLD state league player, perhaps for salary cap/cost saving reasons? Hopefully he'll turn out well though.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Landale signing is massive for United. Breakers and United look best squads on paper. Can’t wait to get it started

Are they related to former Geelong Champ Mark Bairstow (I assume they are his lads) ?
