I doubt Foxtel or Netball Australia will allow NZL teams to join SSN with different conditions to the Aus teams. It’s not even about making sure they’re competitive, but simply to generate interest in the teams. Imports are very popular, and Australian viewers are not going to be that interested in watching fully Kiwi teams playing each other. And NA won’t like NNZ benefitting from SSN without having to sacrifice local pathways. Unless they come with an enormous cash injection, I doubt it will happen under those terms.
