        Go Swifts! That was pure patience that long phase of play. Beautiful to watch. Also excellent defence from Giants to create that much pressure.

          Wow what a TTYL q strong league it will be next year. Mind you it always looks good on paper.

          Magic massive improvement! They look fitter and faster already. Even with Eke pregnant right now lol.
          Stars look pretty strong. Defensive heavy next year including Mather. Two of them will to be getting splinters.
          Mystics gaining Falkner is an embarrassment of riches. They are absolutely stacked with current ex ferns now.
          Pulse look very rough now lol. Hope Miss F can improve her fitness. Can’t believe she is only 26. It feels like she has been around forever.
          Tactix look strong. Kelera adds some height if needed. Move everyone else up court. Good on them for recruiting within their region. But I’m not sure Hannah is a real option. Time will tell.
          Steel! Never underestimate this team. They have Silverferns coach in the making for me.
          Metuarau and Dunn will be fabulous to watch. With the exit of Eke and Kersten it actually brings some stability in the midcourt. I guess they want Mason to slowly develop and not rush her. So I guess that’s understandable.

            Some of the SSN shooting combos have gone stale anyway. A nice change up for players might be good for the comp and themselves.

            Houseby and Wallace have been together too long IMO. Koenen and Wood is hot and cold. Even Bueta and Aiken have been together forever. Its boring to watch, the combos aren’t exciting anymore.

            Bassett well… Good luck to her. Time to go approaching teams I think. I dont think she will get offers.

              You mean Ama Agbeze? I hope she’s leaving as in retiring again. Past her best years now. Wouldn’t be much help to any other team.

                Prosser and Fenwick definitely needed to go. No impact from the bench. All 10 need to be fighting for a start.

                I think Tactix are trying to combat the height of Nweke. Which makes sense to me. Let’s be honest, Tactix defence were completely outplayed for the most part in the final. Burger in WD is necessary against Toeava. Elley didnt do much this season. Which was disappointing as a fan of hers.

                Otherwise they can run their usual back line against all the other teams.

                Just checked out Hannah Glen’s stats in the NNL. Not pretty. Shooting percentage might continue to haunt the Tactix.

                  Definitely miles apart lol.

                  Well this one highly anticipated power move for Eke. I hope her new team throws everything she deserves at her in term of money. She is worth the quality of play and goals.

                    Just like that the netball season is over. What will I do with myself on Sundays now lol.

                    Competition for spots in the team is healthy. It’s what we have wanted for many years now. Look out for the footnote girls. They may kick some of our faves out too. Roll on Eng series and Constellation Cup.

                      Yeah agree with that mcleod. Poi will prove herself in the SF environment just watch.

                      I think Tactix should go for either Falkner, Mes or Hume. I think TP needs to go back to GS. I think either Samon or Pedersen needs to go as well. Also a GK, maybe Miss F, move Watson, Burger and Elley up court. Poi to WA.

                        Noeline just confirmed that all players in the squad made the fitness requirement on inside netball. That’s fantastic! Grace and Toeava admitted its not their strong point, but stood up and met the requirements. So she’s proud of them for that.

                        Noels is going for gold at CWGs. She makes no mistake about that. Eke will definitely be back for CWGs and the camps. Hallelujah!

                        Poi and Souness. Specialist athletes need to nail their position. Needs to work on consistency throughout a game and quarters. They still have a foot in the door. They need to work on themselves to get in.

                        Captain will be chosen by Noels instead of team votes this year.

                          Does anyone think the fitness standards were lowered? Or exceptions made? Are their yoyo scores recorded by their franchise?

                          Because I’m not sure everyone made the 16.3 grade. Maybe they will be found out in camp? Or maybe they all did pass, which is outstanding if that’s the case.

                            Read the article guys. 😉 Development squad can push for a spot. Anyone of them can. Poi will easily slot out Kersten, if she brings her A game to the camps, it’s over. 😂

                            Well it’s a bit like Xmas for me. All my faves got in. All the new faces are the ones I wanted. Gordan, Heffernen, Nweke, Tiana!

                            Welcome back Toeava! Would love to see you and Nweke in a final quarter 10 goals down.

                              Well I’m glad there’s no spoilers this time. Oh no! No Watson!

                              You could be right mcleod. Not everyone looked in top shape.

                                Yes looking forward to selections tomorrow. They probably already know who they are right now. 😍

                                Hmm… you got me wondering mcleod. Please just don’t be our queen Eke. Anyone but her.

                                  From last place in 2019 to winners 2 years later. Supreme effort from them all. Such a great team with only 2 current Silverferns in there and one International player Ama. Amazing job well done!

                                  Back to the drawing board for Tactix. Definitely need to hunt down a WD and an extra GA/GS. Elley just hasn’t been herself this season I think. Prosser isn’t the answer for when TP goes off.
