Do We Have a New North West Derby? + Monthly Mailbag
Do we have a new North West Derby? 👀
Liverpool Basketball are the new 10th team in the league — and with reigning MVP Patrick Robinson now joining the roster, could a new rivalry with Manchester Basketball be starting to take shape?
Grant and Matt break down Liverpool's historic first win, Robinson's debut and what the new-look Liverpool side could bring to the league.
We also take a closer look at Newcastle Eagles' impressive start, their team chemistry and why they are already looking like one of the most interesting teams in the league.
Plus, we're back with the Monthly Mailbag, answering your questions on:
🏀 What's going on in Manchester?
🌍 What can Caledonia Gladiators improve ahead of their next game after starting their FIBA Europe Cup campaign?
📅 Is the early-season fixture imbalance becoming a problem?
🔥 What are the biggest trends we're seeing across the league?
It's another packed episode of The SLB Show as we try to make sense of the early Super League Basketball season.

SLB Early Season Review: Who's Up, Who's Down After just 2 Weeks?
Grant and Matt take an early look at how the league is shaping up, including Liverpool's difficult start and whether injuries mean we should simply give them more time. We also dive into Newcastle Eagles' impressive start, their attacking chemistry and what made their win over Bristol so convincing.
Plus, we debate the early impact of home-court advantage, ask questions about where London Lions and Manchester currently sit, and have some fun with our thumbs up / thumbs down ratings for the league so far.
It's still early — but we're already starting to see some interesting trends.
