John Rillie on the match-up with Tasmania JackJumpers.

“It was a poor performance last time we played them and our form since then hasn’t been great,” he said.

“So really, it’s about Perth Wildcats getting ourselves in a great frame of mind now and I would hope that we all come motivated to give a better showing than the last time we played them.”
