Opals Announce May Training Squad
I saw at Channel 22 they're going hard at it.
Although the interviewer spoke to Jackson and Cambage more about going to Rio.
One Olympics at a time please.
They outta be spanked for cutting Cayla now.

Many times I've often thought that she should be our flag bearer at London , and to take 13 .

That was Lauren Jackson just then on 5aa
Phillips will not be there . Gone to USA.
Will join up later.
Not sure if we will take 12 or 13 - she mentioned.

Seems ;
Cambage Batkovic
Jackson Bishop Francis
Ohea. .....
Snell Phillips
Harrower Richards Macleod
are still there.
Although I was told some of these cain't play.
I been looking for the doctors' cure.
Looking at hands , for the lines that were,
and through evey masterpiece of literature ,
for dignity.

No glaring omissions there, just the cutting of the 2 injured players (Taylor & Penaluna) and two of the excess point guards (Poto & Flanagan)
Still too many in the squad IMO, but I guess if they can afford to carry this many then no major harm done.
The real interest will be the battle for the forward spots, which was the only cloudy area to begin with, but now suddenly also becomes crucial with Penny no longer there to play 30 minutes per game.

Final team for London will be 12. I guess any further injuries that may yet eventuate could still have a further bearing on how the final team unfolds.
I like the depth and talent across all positions. Losing Taylor really hurts as she is a genuine super star...

Angela Marino will suit for the Lightning this season.
"From my point of view I know I could have gone elsewhere and played more," she said.Although I am not the greatest fan of hers, in a reduced role off the bench I think she will be a handy pick up, as long as she stands by her comments in The Advertiser about finding a role and not trying to get the same amount of shots up in limited court time.
"But you reach a point sometimes where it would be better to have a role and earn your court-time in a better team than just playing a lot."
Makes for a very deep backcourt rotation.
Announcement: Lightning sign Marino
