2024 ANZP ROUND 15

You just know the Mystics are going to steam roll the other teams in the finals.

Tonight is the biggest game of the season so far! Pulse vs Tactix to determine who hosts the grand final or the preliminary final. I can’t wait! I think the team that keeps one of their GS on all game will win. I don’t think the swap at half time has been working for either Tactix or Pulse. May the best team win.

Watson’s post was to Ekenasio and her team (re Magic missing out on the finals). Burger’s post re ‘will miss the battles’ I assume also related to not facing the Magic in either the Elim or Grand Final versus a retirement post.

Meels may be signing with a SSN team. She’s coming to the end of her playing career so SF may not be a massive consideration anymore, if she couldn’t get an exemption.

Agreed – while we don’t want a ‘second rate’ competition in NZ the top 5-6 netballers need more of a challenge. This year has shown that the ANZ needs imports of quality and even more than that, those netballers need to be playing not bench sitting. I thought that all six teams would fire from the start this year but in fact initially it was a 3/3 split. SF teams struggle with different playing styles in international competition and they’re certainly not getting to play against these styles over here.

23-14 to the Pulse. TPSR has given away a turnover and an offensive contact to start the second quarter.

31-22 to the Pulse at half time and it’s hard to see the Tactix turning this around..

8 penalties in 30min from Metuarau, amazes me how she gets away for blatant, late deliberate contacts.
