Thanks to everyone who has tried out for Sublime 2009. Both training camps were well attended and we were impressed with everyone's attitude and commitment. We have decided to take 36 players to the next stage of preparation for Nationals. This includes 15 who have been selected for the A team and 21 for the second team.
There are some spots still to be determined for the A team. These players will be selected in early March following Canberra. It is likely there will be at least 1 and as many as 3 players moved to the A team.
Being selected on the A team now does not guarantee a spot for Nationals. Adjustments will be made if players do not show the required level of commitment, fitness, and ability over the next two months.
Adjustments can also be made between Regionals and Nationals for a number of reasons including team balance.
Being selected to the second team now does not guarantee a spot at Nationals or playing time at Nationals. The selectors will be meeting with a number of players about improvement required in order to maintain their spot on the second team. It is possible that some of these players may be cut at a later date. Once the leadership group is established for the second team, they will also have some say in how many players are carried on their roster for Nationals.
