NBL1 East 2026 Championship RECAP - featuring Gem Hudson and James Mullan (Waratah on VCR)

We break down both grand finals and look ahead to Nationals in Adelaide. Gem Hudson joins to unpack Bankstown's championship poise over Manly Warringah — composure, bench trust, defensive discipline, and why settling for threes cost Manly the paint. Then James sets the stakes for North Bears vs Sutherland Sharks: North's second-half comeback, Iggy Mitchell's response, the tactical swings, Tyler Robertson's shot-making, and why Fabijan Krslovic earned MVP despite a quiet box score. Plus early 2027 offseason coaching moves, commentary craft, spotting rising women's talent, and a tribute to North's behind-the-scenes builders.
