Noidya has always impressed with his ability to train good guards.. if he can put it together, i have no doubt he can make a run.. obviously not ready to challenge. yet.
Be High has a good lineup, but his complete lack of anyone under 30 means others are catching him... yeah he looks good at 5-0, but some of those guys are gonna start degrading soon.. training game shape is easy, but the lack of development coupled with some wiley managers, i feel his days at the top of the red are numbered
Sammydog gets respect for having all aussie team! i really think he deserves to promote as i really like his team.. most players are in their prime or getting there, so if he can get the best of them, and keep on training, he should have no probs staying ahead of Be High and challenging at the pointy end
the secrets have invested heavily in the back court, but dont have the strength at the front court, especially with the dominance of Look Inside... I think really needs to get a more balanced roster, to compete with the top 3 teams in either side.
Tilley.... Chunder? have they decided 3.12 is mission impossible, and decided the best route to div 2 is via div 4? if so, they need a clean out, as that roster will send a team broke in div 4!
Hax has a balanced side, and dominates the blue, but against the red will potentially struggle without some investment. the competitiveness of the red could benefit him as they battle it out, while he almost glides through on the blue side..
Hello? Mcfly? is he being under estimated or are his players better than salary suggests... 1 player over 10k salary.. people will soon start to take him serious and not play backups, and i would expect him to fall down the rankings like a bag of concrete.
the surrey boyz lack depth, and that is hurting against some of these teams. i would think they are 2-3 seasons away from really having a fair dinkum crack. by that time tho, best players will be past prime, so anything can happen
Verdict : Hax is the missing link at this stage. His decisions have a massive impact on how this season pans out.. As it stands right now, it looks as though the promoter will come from the red side.. For seasons the reds have played 2nd fiddle, but i think this season they are leading the orchestra
