Can anyone stop the Sunshine Coast Lightning from winning the Super Netball premiership?
With four Aussie Diamonds stars now in their line-up, an absolutely stacked team is the favourite for the Super Netball title, at least “on paper”.That’s the question the other seven teams will be asking heading into the new Super Netball season, which kicks off this weekend.
The recruitment of Watson and Bruce means the Lightning boast an absolutely stacked line-up that already featured gun shooting duo Cara Koen and Steph Fretwell , who retired from Diamonds duties after last year’s World Cup win.Fretwell is delighted to be playing with Watson and Bruce, but warned it’s one thing to be a stacked team “on paper” and another to deliver results on court.
Fretwell was part of the Lightning’s last premiership when they won back-to-back Super Netball titles in 2017 and 2018.“First of all the goal is to make finals but also to be successful in finals because it’s something we haven’t done since 2019.” Shooter Reilley Batcheldor is working her way back from a second ACL injury and is expected to see plenty of court time during the Super Shot periods at the end of quarters.
“Leesa, she’s a ball of energy running around on court. She’s got an incredible change of direction so excited to see what she can do out on a Super Netball court.
