Women's side needs another pg and a couple of sgs.
Not sure why you would bring another 02 athlete.

Does anyone know which competition the Men's COE will be playing in next season?

Apparently they are no longer involved with NBL1

Really hoping to see Giddey and Wigness as next star prospects for 2020/21 season.

CoE teams will compete in the NSW Waratah League in 2020, which will evolve into NBL1 (NSW Division) in 2021.

It's certainly the worst league in Aus atm if you don’t include nt.
With all these young coe kids, maybe nsw won’t be too bad for the first year and then they move to victoria the following year don’t they?

I think BA are of the opinion that some of the taller girls can become guards. They clearly haven't learned from the frequent times our national teams are towled up by fast guards that women aren’t men and they are rarely very agile when at or around 6ft.
