As the news breaks that the Diamonds World Cup selection details are being held over the players heads by Netball Australia until they sign their next CPA, we are beginning to get tired of the unnecessary mess.

Something needs to change at the top, as the sport has been dragged through the mud in the media more times than we can count in the past few years and enough is enough.

Beyond that disturbance, there is plenty of Super Netball analysis to be discussed as we wrap the penultimate round of the 2023 season. Including the Swifts’ efforts to lock up the minor premiership with a nine-game winning streak before the last weekend of action ahead of finals.

The Australian Diamonds win the Netball World Cup in Cape Town for the 12th time to take back the last elusive trophy missing from their cabinet.

The England Roses had a historic tournament finishing with their first silver medal, the Jamaican Sunshine Girls left with bronze and the New Zealand Silver Ferns failed to medal for the first time in the 60-year history of the tournament, solidifying their worst performance at a World Cup.
