@Jinxbo – I think Wallam faces some of the same issues as CBass. She is a specialist GS where all 8 teams have incumbents who are better than her. With squads of 10 the bench players HAVE to be able to play more than 1 position. She went to the UK in the first place to get court time & show what she could do, which she did forcefully, unfortunately 8 seasoned internationals are ahead of her. I would expect that she will be picked up as a training partner and hopefully a re- invigorated ANL will allow her to push her claims.
As I said yesterday squads of 10 leave little room for a specialist player, unless you are the very best (think Fowler or Geva) – everyone else really had to be able to play more than 1 position well. As well as reverting to international rules, the best thing that SSN can do for Australian netball is squads of 12 and more teams!!
