Post reminded me of last year's men’s MVP, Roman Siulepa.
Has there been any further news on what he’s going to do in 2025?

Not sure I have ever heard so many Fbombs on the music during the breaks. Do they not even listen to what they are playing, very messy.

Will be interesting to see how teams go.
NSW Women only have 1 team playing whereas the boys have 2 teams.
Garlepp would not want 2.
They are currently playing QLD and lost by 7.
If you look at the States the Vics are still in general the strongest closely followed by QLD and SA are starting to get up there
NSW are slipping back in the pack in 16's,18's and 20's.They have only had success in the women because of Hall being in the team.

It's not his decision to make, but why wouldn't Garlepp want a second side? He's not coaching them and picks his team as a priority regardless.
I was told that states outside Victoria were denied entry of a second women's team. NSW were allowed a second men's team because the Global Academy made an odd-number and SA's hasn't been historically competitive.
In my opinion Queensland and NSW look stronger than Victoria and SA on the women's side.
Agree that the slide across the board from NSW, but that can also be said about Queensland and potentially SA. Victoria are getting back to asserting dominance in the coming years.

SA Men just got belted by the Victoria A team. And this is after scraping home in a very unconvincing way against ACT last night.
A medal this year might be out of reach.
Interested to hear what others think - but SA just looks a bit small? Despite Alex & Paddy in the backcourt who are tall guards, across the board we just don't have the size to rebound or rim protect.
