"With last season’s achievements in the rearview mirror, our focus is on staying humble and embracing the grit and grind that defines our culture," Roth said. "Heading to Singapore to play our first-ever international game as an Oceanic team is a huge milestone for Tasmania, and we’re excited to go global."

Roth also highlighted the importance of maintaining the team’s strong foundation while integrating new players who align with the JackJumpers’ ethos. "The excitement of this season is driving our core group forward, and we’ve added players who fit our culture as we continue to grow. Thriving in this environment is what pushes us all to be better."

Roth also shared a personal note on what motivates him, both on and off the court. "For me, continuous improvement is key, and what drives me is my family – my daughter, my wife, and the love we’ve all found here in Tasmania. We’re proving that we’re good enough, and I’m incredibly excited about what lies ahead."

The evening set the tone for what promises to be an exhilarating season, with the JackJumpers ready to take on new challenges and continue building on their success, both on a national and international stage.
