in reply to: ANPA / NA negotiations break down #1367103

What has NA offered that wasn’t rejected 8+ weeks ago? To talk about the thing the players want (revenue share) once they have returned to work?
I think a few too many people have been sucked in by the spin and the splashing of “11% rise”, and “back pay” and “we care about our players” as key things rather than addressing the major sticking point which has been an issue for months (if not years).
When I listened to Kelly Ryan it was all spin and no substance. She couldn’t explain how this addressed the revenue share issue, nor could she answer how the board was paid so much more than the players!
The step up into a PR war is interesting and presumably means that mediation is off the table (is this because NA won’t release financial details as players have also been requesting?)

Fast 5 has a “use it or lose it rule” – once use it is called ball must move forward otherwise penalty at other end.
That’s the 2nd one for the day – sun is to stop the running down of the clock that England we’re doing in the 1st game

My highlight of yesterday was the men being included! The South African men were amazing – outrageous shooting & extreme athleticism.

A quick shout out to Qantas who are apparently sponsoring the event. However this means cardboard fans are back! Yay! Great noise-makers, can be signed by the wonderful players & are recyclable.
Anyone know why they aren’t available in SSN? (Or why Qantas isn’t a sponsor – Netball Aus looking at you!)

Court looks good, crowd is building – lots of dress ups around. Unfortunately, not a lot in the way of activations (face painting etc) & non SF merch is very pink and seems to just be 1 ubiquitous hoodie.

Hadley went behind scenes for 5 min or so, but warmed up with the others at the 10min mark – hopefully ok

Anyone else just getting the Sky testcard?

in reply to: Collingwood to leave SSN #1361349

SSN signing is in limbo because there is no agreement with the players association about contracts. Rumoured to be the same issue as the one NA back flipped on with the Diamonds players.

Thanks a lot for your in depth posts Drewski – I am a bit worried that your analysis is so close to mine (maybe I’m finally learning something about the game!!) lol.

Would love to know what you think the current best 7’s are for all 4 teams (I think we know what Norma thinks for SA, but the others are a bit of a mystery!) including any of the missing players (like Weston, Harten, Bueta, etc)

I don’t think any of the teams here really have a final 12 for WC inked in yet, although I guess some of the teams do have 5 or 6 almost certains barring injury.
