Opals line-up in 2012?
that is so true ppdo. I was surprised that no one had started a thread on the "Opals" win last night.
so I did. most of the threads have been re the "Boomers" I have been following them as well, and think they performed quite well, but have been disappointed in the interest re the Opals.
think this is a male dominated website. but then again maybe the males of this world have more time on their hands!!

From this campain
All you have to do is look at the Sapphires and Gems and their record and we will be strong for the next Olympics......
But will we be as strong for 2012?
IMO proberly not, but then again by 2016 we will have a team that will be medal contention again.
Our "Bigs" depth is outstanding in the junior ranks but we will need guards with international experience to make the grade.
Which leads to another point....
To be the best our players have to go overseas to be a chance... Why cant our WNBL league with the wealth of Australian talent we have lure overseas talent to come and play here and make our league "one of the best"?
But that takes money and really all the attention goes to the NBL not the WNBL....
Getting back to the gold medal game... When the game had finished last night (China) was pleased to lip read Lauren and she said "one more!"
Seems pretty pathetic that everyone was all for the Boomers and no-one for the Opals (post threads on Hoops), i mean the Opals ARE a genuine medal chance and the Boomers were never going to be but the focus has always been on the men.
