Yet other teams who are in the playoffs with the funds available to take out the ABBL title aren't willing to budge a cent since they are content with finishing as non-title contenders.
I am content with staying up this year but i had a red hot crack at the cup. If i beat BLS (5 point loss) i would have taken out the cup - i added 190k of wages to try and take him down but it didn't happen. yes i still have a very hand bankroll to play with but it wasn't worth taking a shot at the title this year as i had 3 guys injured heading into the playoffs and i'm training up an MVP 20yo that will be a force in a season or 2's time.
No point in blowing my wad too early.
I make no bones about the fact that i want to have an ABBL trophy and a Aussie Cup title on my wall. It just might be something that takes me a few seasons to get.
