      I wonder if Fifita could be signed elsewhere, possibly Tactix?

      She wasn’t the same player in 2024 after 2 seasons away, though if she isn’t signed and still wants to play then she could make a good training partner for Steel/ southern blast player, who could come in if anything happened to Stythe.

      Laura Balmer is another backup option, assuming she isn’t signed elsewhere. NZ U21 player, who was with Southern blast this year. I’m not sure about her height but I think is 1.85m + …

        Defensive end for the Tactix I presume is all sorted.
        Watson, Burger and Lokutui weren’t named in their departures, so think they’ll be back.
        Midcourt is the issue I think. Peterson has retired twice already, and lost Poi and Sinclair.
        Unsure who will be picked up there. Not many mids left.

                Thanks @Maryann. I would have thought she’d be one of the first to sign.

                    So Kamo (Stars) and Thomas (Steel) eligible for both NZ and AUS.

                    Wallams also eligible to play for Diamonds despite signing with the Mystics.

                            by my calculations, still to be named
                            Stars – 2x Shooters, 1x defence
                            Magic – 1x Shooter
                            Pulse – 3x Defence
                            Tactix – 4 x Middies (assuming Lokotui is D, otherwise 3/1 split)

                            still a fair bunch of players contracted in 2024 (replacements players included) that haven’t been named, so I’m guessing a few will miss out completely – which I imagine will bolster the NNL ranks and hopefully bring it a step closer to where it should be in comparison to ANZ level

                                @thunder123 also concerned about Tactix midcourt… i think back to 2023 when it seemed their mid court let them down and nothing worked. They almost need a Gordon or Heffernan but see they both staying where they are

                                  Could we see Winders or H Mather? maybe Orr or Gorman Brown? Or another import middy? maybe Pedersen staying on for another season
