Director of Selectors
I would like to thank all the zone selectors for their time and effort in selecting our WA teams for Chinchilla 2024. To all the selectors that emailed me their teams and rankings during our selection process, thank you. I know the process isn’t perfect but this is what we have. We look forward to reviewing the policy post Chinchilla and welcome all constructive input.
