Enjoyed the Pulse/Tactix and Stars/Mystics games last weekend. Thought Stars would come closer but just shows how unstoppable Nweke will be at the World Cup. May even get us over the line if the aussies can’t contain her. The Mystics were firing in all sorts of errant passes to her that she just cleaned up and made them look good.
Tactix lucky to come away with that win. Impressed with Walmsley, she looks to be the future backup for Nweke. Still would like to see Mvula get a run, even just to change things up and have a second option. Must be devastating sitting on the bench like that, especially in the lead up to the World Cup.
Glad Dunn has settled in with TPSR to a more coherent attack. If the Tactix take out the championship you’d have to conclude that may be due to the Dunn factor. Heck – I’d even take Dunn to the WC over Wilson who doesn’t have a championship to her name (vs Dunn’s 3 titles), and like Mes, is suspect with her shooting when the pressure’s on.
Haven’t even had a chance to watch the SSN games, even though I signed up for Spark Sport just to do that!
BTW does anyone else think the NZ ANZ league’s getting a bit rough? Umpires seem to be letting a lot go and sometimes there’s a lack of skill and just downright dangerous play with late charges and taking opposing airborne players feet from under them etc. Wonder if they will get away with it at the WC? Burger, Watson, Karaka, Nawai Cau Cau and Mikaere are VERY physical in the way they play the game these days.
