Brad&Boti: Why our WNBL is 'pure basketball'

WHAT is it about the WNBL and women's basketball in general that my podcast colleague Brad Rosen loves so much that in this week's episode, he is waxing lyrical about it in comparison to what he is seeing from the men? There's plenty to listen for in this round's Brad&Boti podcast.
Townsville fires and Lynx run past Flames
TOWNSVILLE asserted its authority in the capital before Perth staged a monumental fightback to turn Sydney's WNBL Round 2 into a nightmare, Tegan Graham the Lynx's unsung hero, slamming the handcuffs on Flames' scoring machine Lauren Nicholson to underpin the win.

WHAT a fabulous start the WNBL shot off to as all four Round 1 games were claimed by road warriors, there were great turn-outs for the matches and meanwhile the NBL was setting records, as Brad Rosen and I discuss at this week's Brad&Boti podcast.
What We Learnt #5 ... and who is Pesticide?
WOW! What we learnt from Round 5 is what we've all known or suspected for years since Scott Butler has been at the helm of the NBL referees - never have they, as a collective, been worse. And that's saying something. Where are the Bill Mildenhall, Ray Hunt, Mal Cooper, Geoff Weeks types now who umpired with common sense?
Dynamic duo back to raise WNBL hell
TWO of the WNBL's all-time superstars, Sara Blicavs and Lauren Nicholson, returned to open the 2025-26 season with match-winning performances before Abbey Ellis saved title favourite Townsville with a career-high 31 points in the road win at Bendigo, adding 10 boards and four assists in a super performance.

THE WNBL is about to launch and Brad Rosen and I are excited to preview the teams ahead of Round 1 at our Brad&Boti podcast, but there was plenty to savour from the NBL's fourth round too and we get stuck into it, isolating the players and plays of the week.
Xu coup a head turner for Perth as WNBL tip-off nears
TOWNSVILLE is almost unbackable as favourite to win the 2025-26 WNBL championship but Perth's Han Xu coup has thrown a 211cm wrinkle into that confidence, although banking early wins without her will be critical for the Lynx who open their campaign in Adelaide on Sunday.
Lightning finally recognised for greatness
PERENNIALLY treated like South Australian sport's red-headed step-child, prepare for an unprecedented golden new era for former WNBL pacesetter Adelaide Lightning, under new management but far more importantly, under new management which finally truly believes in its product.

THE WNBL quietly had its eight teams under one roof for a preseason tournament in Townsville as the NBL swung through a second round and we finally have seen all 10 teams, creating great fodder for Brad Rosen and I on our Brad&Boti podcast.
Townsville the target for WNBL preseason tip
SO much has happened in the WNBL's off-season with the league under a new ownership model and finally being treated with the respect and professionalism it long has warranted but never seemed able to grasp. Champions, superstars, Olympians, WNBA imports - we've known it all along but now, at last, the mainstream world is being exposed to our talented women's comp.
