Well, well, well. Not only has the two-point super shot infiltrated the UK Superleague. It’s now also going to be introduced in the ANZ Premiership in New Zealand.

So what does this mean? Are the top three netball leagues in the world becoming too similar? If each competition has the same rules, is there anything left to set them apart? And does this indicate that it’ll only be a matter of time before we see a two-point shot in international netball? Would that be a bad thing?

We mull it over, as we discuss the results from the Team Girls Cup in Adelaide and the first two rounds of NSL 2.0 with Birmingham Panthers’ defender Gabby Coffey. 

Round 8 is a split round in SSN, so we discuss the two games that were on offer.

The Swifts were clinical against a struggling Firebirds outfit who may have just squandered away their top four dreams; meanwhile Jo Harten brought the Giants back to life against a penalty heavy Thunderbirds who looked disjointed.

- Have the Swifts found their starting seven yet?
- Has the Thunderbirds winning ways of the past and former reputation bought them more time than they deserve?

This week we take a deep dive into men’s netball and discuss the challenges boys and men face to play the sport we all love.

Our special guests are Australian Sonix player and elite coach Eugene Lee and former NSW player and director of the first men’s netball doco — Rising to Occasion — due to be released later in the year.

We also analyse all the action from RD6 and ponder whether fatigue might be setting in for some teams at the midway point of the competition.
