In a netball off-season of drama and players fleeing New Zealand netball for Australia, the Southern Steel has emerged in relatively good shape with seven returning players and two new Aussie recruits on their books for 2026. Head coach Wendy Frew talks us through the recruitment process and on her learnings from her first year in the job.
Before then Logan, Nathan and Nick discuss the week's big sporting stories including the Stags' short but rewarding Ranfurly Shield tenure, Sevu Reece's long-awaited Stags debut and some very interesting changes ahead for the SBS Bank Tour of Southland.
