Any insights on the East Coast Challenge which ran from 8-10 January? The vic u18s women seemed to be very strong. I know a couple of the Vic u16s women's teams did quite well but come nationals in July do people think they are strong enough to beat QLD (who didn't play the ECC)? Anyone have any insights?

thought vic girls u16s was average at best. weakest vic team in a while from my seat. vic girls u18s should get the job done in april. will have a bit too much for sa at the minute who need turner back in the ranks if they are going to challenge vic. sa boys in 18s looked good. might be a second spot for them. cannt see anyone beating vic in u18s boys come april. didnt really see too much of u16 boys.

It takes a fair bit of interpretation and projection to figure out how each state team will perform at the nationals based on their 2 ECC team's results. For example, I though the SAM boys clearly had 1 strong team and 1 weaker team, whereas the VICM boys had 2 roughly equal teams. You have to project how one final state team will play by considering the how the best players from the 2 ECC teams will be formed into one team and how they will play together. In recent years VICM boys have had just OK performances at the ECC but pulled it all together for the nationals and looked very strong. I suspect that will happen again.
