Opals teams for RIO

When will the next camp be? With WNBA season nearly over and the WNBL about to start will Joyce call a camp for this year?

Can we please go with:

1. PHILLIPS/MITCHELL
2. TAYLOR/ALLEN/MADGEN
3. O'HEA/ TALBOT
4. JACKSON/FRANICS/HODGES
5. CAMBAGE/ TOLO

Griffin is a must if she can get citizenship. I would still take Jarry too. Doubt Jackson will ever be right for a big tournament again, its not worth the risk with other capable and fit players ready to play.

I wouldn't think Griffin would be a "must" if she can get citizenship. She is coming off arthroscopic surgery on her hip and hasn't been involved with the program to date. She will be in the running if the citizenship comes through in 2015 although not a lock, and that moves to unlikely if the citizenship comes through next year.

Health will be a factor;

Allen had micro-fracture surgery on her knee.

Tolo has recently done her acl.

LJ is broken and hasn't really played since the last Olympics

Jarry hasn't shown the ability to stay on the floor for any period of time. She has played more games for the Opals then her wnbl team over the past few years.

Erin just had surgery and missed the second half of the wnba season and playoffs.

penny taylor will be well rested, although she has also had injury concerns previously and is the wrong side of 30.

achilles injuries have ended a lot of careers and we are yet to see Liz return although age is on her side.

BJ made some favourable comments about her play in a game against Canberra and she plays the way every coach would love of a player.

She's also got the WNBA/bigger bodies experience against the Americans which would help her cause, I'd take her if possible.
