With the Knox Raiders announcing in late November that they are sitting out of the 2015 SEABL competition for financial reasons so they can play in 2016 is leaving Melbourne Tigers fans speculating that this be the catalyst to get the Melbourne Tigers into the competition.

The door still appears open for the Tigers to come in with the 2015 fixture not yet announced and with SEABL one team short this could be the perfect hurry up to get the Tigers into the competition and give the Tigers fans who are currently out in the cold of semi-professional or professional basketball something to cheer about.
