DOWNLOAD In the past we ve actually struggled against Shamera but Shimmy was awesome, Nicole Richardson said following her first win as Collingwood s head coach. To beat Thunderbirds you really have to take Shamera Sterling out of the contest and Shimmy did a really good job with that. Her holds were a lot stronger and we did a lot of work on that in the past week.
The Magpies held a narrow lead for much of the game but could not shrug off a determined Thunderbirds outfit who were up by two with less than four minutes left.
But Adelaide were held scoreless from that point, with Sinclair landing from distance and Nelson adding a couple from close range.

The Thunderbirds finished last year in seventh.
The biggest surprise to come out of the Thunderbirds camp in the offseason was that co-captain and former Aussie Diamond and English Rose Chelsea Pitman was not offered a new contract. Another key loss for the Thunderbirds is the return of the doctor Layla Guscoth to England to re-join Team Bath Netball, be closer to family and friends and to further her medical career. Adelaide also did not re-sign the experienced Kate Shimmin.

The new season of Super Netball is less than a week away and it is shaping up as the closest one yet, with a number of teams clearly in the mix.
I will try and break it down for you, looking at the key storylines, the teams and most importantly where they will rank at the end of the season.
Back to normal home-and-away
COVID played havoc with an abridged season last year, with all teams based in Queensland. We are swinging back into a home-and-away season this year, with the NSW Swifts and GWS Giants set to christen their new home at Ken Rosewall Arena. It adds another layer of difficulty for the West Coast Fever, who will have the heaviest travel schedule in the competition.
