Overall some impressive numbers from the GS’s, Nweke was probably the standout from the games I watched, she has got some amazing talent. Two players who I noticed huge improvement from were Latu-Meafou and Tiana Metuarau, both look so much fitter, faster and more aggressive than last season, but also quite composed too – their shooting stats back me up there as well. I really liked Reuleu-Buchanan and Kate Burley from the Stars and Jamie Hume looks the goods too (although shooting still needs some refining). I found it interesting that Asher Grapes got more court time than Saviour Tui over the weekend, given that Tui is the contracted player. Kimi Poi was super impressive for the Tactix too, I think her stint at WA with the Magpies has grown her game in that position a whole heap.
