Brad&Boti: Playing again Sami? Plus NBL Rd1

SEASON 2026-27 is underway for the NBL and Brad Rosen saw plenty in Round 1 for us to thrash out at this week's Brad&Boti podcast. Of course we didn't forget the women either, wrapping the WNBL's preseason series in Townsville and offering some interesting breaking news re our Opals captain.
Harness Arnas and Bullets will be firing
LOOK Out! When the Brisbane Bullets work out how to fully harness import Arnas Velicka, not only will his Batman-and-Robin one-two punch with centre Tyrell Harrison wreak havoc, but Will Weaver's list of quality cameo comrades also will flourish across NBL 2026-27.
Disruptive foul instead a historic clanger
WHAT a fiasco! The NBL's historic first ever "disruptive foul" call in the wake of the unsportsmanlike foul going the way of the dodo, turned into a total farce when it was clear the three American refs calling the Tasmania-South East game were clueless as to how to proceed.
Tassie's DJ hums a winning tune
JUST when it appeared as if South East Melbourne's Angus Glover was about to produce an NBL career game, Tasmania's returning David Johnson bobbed up to remind everyone why last season the JackJumpers' import duo was rated among the league's finest, until injury cut them down.
Yo 36ers. That's what REAL coaching looks like
NO Isaac Humphries (knee), no John Jenkins (back), Flynn Cameron leaving the game injured. If Mike Wells still was at the helm of the 36ers, Adelaide last night would have been humiliated by United in Melbourne. Trevor Gleeson? Come on down. That, 36ers fans, is what a real coach looks like.
Venom claim first WNBL silverware at Tip Off

GEELONG Venom have claimed the WNBL's Townsville Tip Off after compiling 11.5 of a possible 14 points, pipping the host Fire on 11 points after the latter battled through a thriller today with Sydney, Courtney Woods and Abbey Ellis combining for 40 points in the 78-75 win.
Stars sparkle at Townsville Tip-Off

THE WNBL's Townsville Tip-Off preseason event has continued with little to be drawn from team performances by depleted and incomplete lineups, but plenty of outstanding individual games from players as diverse as Jaz Shelley, Maddi Rocci, Casey Samuels, Mia Jacobs and Elissa Brett.
NBL 27 on launch pad to rare heights
LOOK out! The NBL is back and even though many of us thought 2025-26 was going to be a season to remember, the potential of Season 2026-27 looms even larger with a third quality guard joining the ranks of Bryce Cotton and Kendric Davis as United unveils their NBA coup signing Cole Anthony.
Red hot Abbey raises Fire in Townsville
RIGHT from the opening jump tonight launching the WNBL's preseason Townsville Tip-Off, it was obvious any conclusions to be drawn from this series likely would be erroneous, given the number of key personnel missing from the various lineups. Of course, there still was room for slick performances.
Brad&Boti: World Cup, WNBL and NBL wrapped in Ep 201

TOP Sydney basketball pundit Brad Rosen and I did not hold back with our final assessments of the Opals at the FIBA World Cup, how the WNBL's Townsville Tip-Off is shaping up or how we see this weekend's Round 1 of the NBL going in our Brad&Boti podcast this week.
