WPW R11 vs Canberra | Friday 11th Feb| 9:45pm | SS7

This will give them all a huge boost. I was really worried when Taylor had to go off, but Walker was excellent and composed in her place. Well done Captain Alfeld. Chloe Knott and Grace Wisnewski were fantastic. At least that monkey is now off all of their backs.

This win is so deserved. Hope the energy and passion of the team stays like this for next seasons, with a few better players and current squad improving this could be a great team with many more wins. They play with positive attitude and it's super enjoyable to watch. Everyone at the club did a fantastic job so far, they can be very proud.

we are confirmed for as long as we want a team in the league..... as far as I'm aware.
Not sure of the contracts the players are on but I'd hope most are multi year agreements.

I’d assume none were on multi year contracts?

Yes I’m told they are all signed to 1 year contracts

Gemma Lewis said before the last game that they want to put together an off season program. She made it sound like it was a little complicated because it's a joint venture between the Nix and NZF (especially with her contract) but it will be easier when it's a Nix only operation the year after that.

But. she was saying they want to do an off season program with the players and also want to get some of them playing in scandinavia in the off season.

Gemma Lewis said before the last game that they want to put together an off season program. She made it sound like it was a little complicated because it's a joint venture between the Nix and NZF so the Nix (especially with her contract).

A group of the Nix NZ players and a couple of the Kiwi born Aussies will be involved in the U20 WC in August which Gemma is coaching so one would assume that that will be the focus from April till September from an NZF perspective?

Awesome result that was earned and deserved. 

And now Canberra are giving WSW a hiding...

And now Canberra are giving WSW a hiding...

A fairly tough game v Adelaide first.  But yes, then WSW.  Perth in the last game and that's not out of their reach for the W.  DWW would be a great finish.

If only! They deserve that after they way they have tried to play and being a brand new team.
