        Maddy Gordon is another injury prone player. Not sure SSN team will go for a player far to often injured.

          So stepping on another person’s foot is injury prone, very interesting I think this comment has another agender.

            Kiri Wills to the Firebirds!? Tell me that’s a joke. Why would they want her?

              1 would assume Giants will be in search of a GK, Jackson has been coached by JF before, maybe she goes there

                Jackson only got married recently so I imagine she may want to stay in NZ initially. Plus seems very happy at Pulse, is captain, and is dominating the league.

                  @Wewood I saw that rumour on another thread. Just clarifying that rumour didn’t come from me 🙂

                    D’Arcy Waldegrave – Grace Nweke’s move is a punch in the face to Netball NZ

                    This is from a while back now, but I just came across it today…

                      Some of the criticisms levelled against NNZ are valid but so many commentators simply ignore the fact that NNZ has so much less money to play with. Salaries are not particularly transparent in netball as they all seem to be very piecemeal (especially in NZ), but I expect Nweke will be earning significantly more in Australia. I expect a lot more kiwi players would prefer to stay in ANZP if they could earn more, but that is just more difficult in NZ right now unfortunately.
