@Raymondocool They will trade you King Gutho for him😅😅😅

He can be a bludger at the worst of times but he’s our bludger 😭

@NBLPleb Strange signing they already have Jackson Ball and Keanu Rasmussen, they needed size not another small guard

Cairns Taipans guard Kyle Adnam has signed with the Hawkes Bay Hawks in the NZNBL for the upcoming season. #NBL #NZNBL

@iratePJ @tonyonz71 @nznbl Really they only really go 7/8 deep max,they need another decent Kiwi big and a decent import,imo.

@tonyonz71 @nznbl Hawks a great shout as a 21:1 dark horse. Pretty scary line up and could still add an import wing

2026 @nznbl depth chart... #7 - only 3 sleeps to go! - now 131 (78% signed) players added (red writing), 21 since last update... based on confirmed team signings - green shade (kiwis moved teams), purple (new to the league), blue (kiwis that are back after a few years!) - @CanterburyRams grab very good import Todd Withers, get Walter back from NCAA - @saintswgtn nab Aussie import Elijah Pepper! - Jackson Ball back with the Bay Hawks - @TaranakiAirs secure Quinton Bailey back - @TuataraBball actually announced 17 players - 15 players per team (165 total), of the 131 signed... 19 (15%) kiwis moved, 67 (51%) kiwis stayed, 25 (19%) new or back... plus 20 imports (15%) - next update Wednesday or Thursday! - going forward once games start, will list actual starters, next used, Rapid league only, not yet used - feedback always welcomed

@tonyonz71 @nznbl A few teams look a bit light,must be still announcements to come

@betsy_com_au @ChrisRoots1 They will never touch pokies,too much revenue for them.

Anthony Albanese announced a raft of gambling advertising reforms on Thursday, but now he has poker machines in his sights. @ChrisRoots1 Full story: betsy.com.au/albanese-gambl…

@LeagueScenePod I can't see him lasting much longer, they are just getting worse by the week

The pressure gauge is well and truely about to peak for Shane Flanagan and the Dragons. Their next five don’t get any easier and unless there is dramatic improvement. Flanagan might have his papers marked and an exit from the club. #NRLDragonsCowboys

@StatMotive @ShamsCharania @mcten It was over anyway,they are nowhere near matching a full strength Okc with or without Luka

@ShamsCharania @mcten And just like the the lakers season is over

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is out indefinitely due to a left hamstring injury, sources tell me and @mcten. He will miss the remainder of the regular season and his status is uncertain beyond that.

@mcten That's the season done we are absolutely no hope of competing with the big boys when they get serious

Lu Dort: 4-for-5 from 3 Los Angeles Lakers: 4-for-16 from 3 Luka Doncic: 4 turnovers; Austin Reaves: 4 turnovers Oklahoma City Thunder: 4 turnovers Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 21 pts Doncic: 10 pts OKC leads 82-51 at the half.

@LeagueScenePod You would have to wonder what Seibold would be thinking right now.That being said,dolphins have been absolutely putrid and don't look interested at all.

Also have to ask... were Manly deliberately tanking to get rid of Anthony Seibold. Seibold might have to return to his SEN commentary slot.

FozBall is a reality with Manly playing with attacking smarts with his forwards dominating the advantage line. Jake Trbojevic with a season high 7 runs for 65 metres in the first half while Haumole Olakau'atu dominates. The Dolphins very ordinary in attack. #NRLDolphinsManly

@J_Frm_EastNY @Underdog @UnderdogNBA He's had 2 years experience playing against pros and improved a lot during that time.Hes only 18 and will get better, still needs to improve Defence and outside shooting but has a lot of upside. I personally think the hornets need a genuine centre though,maybe he's not for them

@Underdog @UnderdogNBA I don’t understand why any team would take Lopez in the top 14 not saying the kid isn’t good I’m sure there’s 14 better names that can be drafted

2026 NBA Mock Draft pt. 2

@FOXNRL Galvin had a shocker on Saturday but no 1 person is going to fix their attack, has to be the whole team.

🐾 'SUPPOSED TO BE THE SOLUTION' 🐾 Gorden Tallis has called out Galvin amid the attacking struggles at the Bulldogs. Meanwhile, he declared that the side was more effective in attack with Toby Sexton and Reed Mahoney. 😮 STORY 👉 bit.ly/47tUwWU

@9_Moley It would have been a rabble if they decided to keep him,they were going absolutely nowhere under him.

What a rabble!

@ShamsCharania Good on him,I wish more players had his attitude.

Statement from the National Basketball Players Association on the Milwaukee Bucks' desires to shut down Giannis Antetokounmpo, who wants to play:

@NBLPleb I thought he would have waited a bit longer to see if offers from Europe or the nba came,but great news for the breakers

Sam Mennena has re-signed with the New Zealand Breakers on a two-year deal. HUGE for the Breakers. #NBL #NBL26

@xwonde6 @ShamsCharania @JeremyWoo You've obviously never watched him play,he handled the nbl better than a lot of players that have made the nba,including Sarr and on par with Lamelo

@ShamsCharania @JeremyWoo First Mexico-born first-rounder? Cool story… still gonna bust like every other hyped international 6'9 wing who can’t shoot. ESPN already inflating him to #11 for the diversity clicks. Next caller

Mexico's Karim Lopez – the No. 11 prospect on ESPN's Big Board – has declared for the 2026 NBA draft and is projected to become the first Mexico-born first-round pick in league history. Story with @JeremyWoo: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

@TeddyCJD Cronulla do this every year,at least we can pen their title hopes early this year.

Jake Averillo dogwalking KL Iro was not on my Saturday football bingo card. Not entirely sure what Hynes offers this team either? 🤔

@thenichecache Is he Shane's son??

Thomas O'Connor in Plunket Shield: 23w @ 11.9avg/3.4rpo

@Jossy_swag @KingAndreasss @JacobsBen @MocoUTD @talkSPORT They could earn more elsewhere though, they chose to stay at Barca.Rashford is a squad player there but wouldn't be at a number of other clubs

@PMettrick @KingAndreasss @JacobsBen @MocoUTD @talkSPORT Squad player doesn't deserve such. Hw much does Gavi, Cubarsi n co earn?

Barcelona have asked Manchester United whether they can loan Marcus Rashford for a second season, as revealed on @talkSPORT last week. As it stands, #MUFC continue to point to the €30m buy option.✍️ talksport.com/football/40819…

@Chapbra @SSFCRABBITOHS @NRL Surely they can't all be injured??

A few changes to the @SSFCRABBITOHS 19 man Squad Campbell Graham Euan Aitken Lachy Hubner Out Tom Fletcher Liam Le Blanc Moala Graham-Taufa(club debut) @NRL

@Jossy_swag @KingAndreasss @JacobsBen @MocoUTD @talkSPORT He won't drop that much in wages maybe €9-10m/yr.He could easily get that and more in Mls or Saudi league

@PMettrick @KingAndreasss @JacobsBen @MocoUTD @talkSPORT I like him for Barca as squad player. But for €30M we will get a world class potential CB or better still add extra 20 to that with Araujo and get me Bastoni. Rashford shouldn't earn more than €6M/yr.
