Chuck's run down:

QLD: Worthy favourites this year, with the likes of Maher, Love, Symonds, Hopes, Noffke, Bichel, Hauritz, Watson + Seccombe. A class side

WA: Very Strong batting line up that consists of Rogers, Meuleman, Hussey, North, Marsh...Bowling a bit weak with one of my personal dislikes Brad Williams the front runner...hogg is struggling, but the inclusion of Sean Ervine will help

SA: A nice looking bowling attack with plenty of blokes that are looking to be in the Aussie side in a few years... Rofe, Tait, Cleary...Inexperienced batting line up with Ferguson, higgs, cosgrove, cullen, but my personal view is that ferguson is a class bat and will be playing for years

NSW: I think they will start to sturggle with the departure with Waugh, waugh, bevan + Slater, but have a good bowling line up i.e Lee, MacGill, NIcholsen.

VIC: Defending champs can only go downhill...Elliot, hodge, white, harvey, inness + moss hlding together an ordinary team.

TAS: The team on the rise. Look for appearances in Australia A by Griffith and Doherty in the coming Years. Old timers Di Venuto, bevan, wright + marsh reaching the end of their tether, but many more stars to come.
