2023 Constellation Cup (Oct)

I wish I was as optimistic as Nat Butler (Medhurst).

To quote Anna Stanley from Inside Netball she thinks the Ferns will be lucky to get within 10 without Nweke.

I think for us, it’s being prepared to make the changes, especially in defence when they need to happen. I thought Jury and Karaka got torched in that third test and I was wanting a change after 15 minutes.

Noels needs to balance letting a combination work through something and plugging the holes as needed.

I assume Walmsley will start at GS, be interesting how she deals with Bruce/Klau, and also if Ekenasio can continue her rich vein of form. Because it’s all on her shoulders at the moment..

Find it very unnecessary for them to say “New Zealand raised, JLP” yet refer to Ekenasio as NZs captain, not mentioning she was Aus born and raised :scratch:

Anyways! I’m expecting us to get dominated by Aus, but at the same time it wouldn’t surprise me if this series stays very close.

Even though this is a forced decision for DNT, I think Walmsley will gain so much from any court time she’ll receive. Once Nweke is cleared to go, it’s going to be a tricky juggling act on when to give Walmsley court time without compromising getting “the win”.
