Well... hasn't the last 48 hours been eventful? Who said netball can't be exciting! Who said netball and the powers that be would continue to make minute-to-midnight decisions that change the shape of the sport? The Super Netball once again DELIVERS and so naturally Nick and Luke dissect the big grand final venue news and talk a little about the state of the ladder!

The Diamonds squad has been DROPPED so we react straight after the announcement with a cheeky hot take or two! THEN we drop our ups and downs from the last few SSN rounds. Ain’t that bloody good!

On this week's episode, we are in LOVE with a finely tuned Firebirds side that demolished the Lightning, we're not surprised by the Fever's hot rollin' through the league and we're absolutely enamoured by the youngsters getting a go across the SSN.

BUT on this episode, we discuss all things round 1 of the Super Netball! The Fever demolish the Lightning (what will Sunny Coast do?!) how do the Swifts replace a treasure like Sam Wallace, and the Thunderbirds get on the board early! It's all RIGHT here. Sorry about the audio!
