Talking points

Must-watch

Now close to full strength, the Cairns Taipans are firing on all cylinders, and they might just have the most exciting Australian talent in the League.

With Jaylin Galloway back in the lineup, Jack McVeigh down low and Keanu Pinder living above the rim, this Taipans team is full of stars.

With the Taipans currently sitting inside the top four, Adam Forde has the team he always envisioned and the goal is simple: keep winning.

Stronger than ever

Brisbane Bullets’ exciting import guard Nate Hinton has sent a warning to the competition that his team is just scratching the surface of their potential.

As they continue to navigate a tricky patch of key injuries, the Bullets found a way to get a big win over Illawarra and now look to build on that momentum.

Raul Neto is looking comfortable and Tyrell Harrison is back on the court, so it is positive signs for Will Weaver’s squad.
