Rumours that Tuivaiti (nee Latu) might come over to Superleague. Hope she joins Severn Stars!

Looks like Latu's gone to Central Pulse in NZ  Means she pairs up with the GA currently playing in the Quad series for NZ so sensible move if she wants to get back into the international side. Sasha Corbin is moving to NZ! What with Guscoth (Bath) and May (Wasps) also leaving, Mavericks are taking a hit, and half of Surrey Storm have gone to Wasps... If you can't tell I'm quite looking forward to the new season! |

Yes both Mavs and Storm have had their guts ripped out... Be interesting to see how they repair.
You have to imagine Thunder/Northumbria/Loughs will be the major benefactors from the dissolution of Jets.
I do worry that the England starting 7 will play in Aus/Nz meaning Those in the national programme remain unexposed to the best competition on a weekly basis.
Once the Aus teams announce their rosters the shape of the SL for this season will become much clearer.

Well there's another quiet Friday morning ! Rachel Dunn leaves Surrey Storm - I hope they have something very big lined up cos at present they look like a club torn apart probably through no fault of their own ! And Wasps add to their very impressive list of signings with Nat Haythornthwaite as the latest recruit. They arent messing about are they ? Wasps to challenge Thunder for the title next season  |

It's such a shame for Surrey Storm, from back to back champions to losing their international stars Cookey and Dunn and a further 5 players.
I must say though that the Wasps franchise is really exciting - the arena, the GREAT BRANDING, the professionalism is what all franchises should be heading towards. I think it was all too shiny and tempting for the players to resist, not to mention that Tamsin has been at Storm for 7 seasons and they are all probably good friends with her.
Can Storm come back as strong competitors after losing their Director of Netball, Head Coach and 7 players?

During the Aus v Eng game the commentator did say that there's been lots of interest in Housby for the new Australian League. Think she may make a move down under! |

That would be Thunder like Surrey looking for a new attack then ! Having said that big bug fan of young Amy Clinton :-) |
