Episode Details

New Zealand’s netball future hangs in the balance as veteran Kelly Jackson and rising star Grace Nweke share their heartbreak over the uncertain fate of the ANZ Premiership. Jackson, who just wrapped up her first season in Australia’s Suncorp Super Netball, fears the next generation of Kiwi players may miss out on the opportunities she had — despite the league’s strong crowds and growing viewership. Nweke, who moved to Australia after a promising domestic career, sees the situation as a setback for the sport’s growth and hopes for swift change. Both players credit Australia’s elite competition for accelerating their development, and Jackson highlights how Silver Ferns players are now better prepared for global events like the Commonwealth Games. Their stories underscore a deeper crisis: how to keep netball thriving at home while players chase global opportunities.
