Jane WatsonThanks Maryann
Okay so no Jury.I’m guessing Winders will spend most of her time at WD.
Saunders, Kersten and Poi will be fighting for the starting C bib.
I’m glad Faulkner made the squad.
Pretty good team. I like it. Super fit and adjustable. Loving the inclusion of Gordan and Falkner! Can they push latter out? Welcome back Mes!
A bit light on defence, but the bar was set and Noeline has been firm with it. I’m disappointed with Jury’s progress. She should be up to standard alongside Wilson and Poi from the World Youth team.
I hope the girls that didn’t make it are working their butt’s off behind the scenes. By the end of season they should be in much better form.
Starting 7 looks to be similar to the TJ series.
I would love a peak at what Gordan and Poi can do in that midcourt. Absolutely explosive speed and smarts.
I know the focus has been on Jury but the team is really missing a GD – both Karaka and Rore being out would have always made our defensive experience thin.
The mobility of ferns defenders will be a joy to watch
Thanks NZ Champion
Hope its a fantastic 4 games for them allI agree Museboy. Hoping to see Burger get some time at GD, IMO it’s her best position.
ICYMI: Bailey Mes is back in the @SilverFerns – after a year out with a tricky knee injury – to play Australia in the #ConstellationCup. LockerRoom caught up with her before the team was named today. @baileymes https://t.co/KjfxnM88Pm

TB – there’s another couple of articles floating in NZ media and from memory it says that Burger will be used in the goal circle rather than at WD, although it does mention she is an option there too. The article is talking about the need to manage the loading of the circle defenders in warm up and practice matches this week and how franchises (Tactix and Magic) will ‘loan’ their defenders for the time prior to games to assist the Ferns.
There must still be a blackout from Aus to NZ sports
I still can’t open the Silver Ferns Facebook siteMinkie if its any help there is no more on the facebook page than on the actual Silver Ferns website. Have a google
on ‘Silver Ferns Netball” or Stuff, NZ Herald and Otago Daily Times. I can’t put the links up for you or I would.Premiership teams to help Silver Ferns manage defenders’ workloads https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/netball/silver-ferns/124340848/constellation-cup-premiership-teams-to-help-silver-ferns-manage-defenders-workloads
