The final round of Suncorp Super Netball‘s tenth season came down to a nail-biting finish, but the real tale of the season began months in advance when coaches and management spoke privately in training facilities and during the window of transfers. Roster moves that were planned for weeks and even months in advance dictated who would lift the silverware and who would leave the court questioning what might have been. Some Suncorp Super Netball teams beefed up their rosters with internationals coming back to wear their former colors, while others adjusted due to injuries and retirements. This article reflects on
Read moreAlex de Minaur has always been one of the quickest players on the ATP Tour, the kind of competitor who can chase down balls that look like clean winners and turn them right back into points he wins. That speed built his career, but it’s not the whole story anymore. Heading into the 2026 US Open, de Minaur is working on something a little different: a hardcourt game with more bite to it. Rather than relying simply on defense and retrieving shots, he’s begun to move closer to the baseline, hit flatter strokes from the ground, and look to control
Read moreThe WNBL is heating up well before a ball is even bounced in anger, with clubs across the country busy locking in marquee signings ahead of the new season. It’s become something of a tradition at this point — every off-season, teams go shopping for proven WNBA talent, seasoned internationals and returning Opals to give their rosters an extra edge, and this year is shaping up to be no different. Defending champions Townsville Fire kicked things off by adding German international and former WNBA big Marie Gülich, but they’re far from the only club making moves. From Perth to Adelaide
Read moreHolly McNamara has completed a move to Everton in the Women’s Super League, closing the book on her time at Melbourne City and opening a new one in England. Having had her contract with the Australian side expire, the 23-year-old forward joins on a free transfer and it marks the first time in her career that she is making the move outside Australia. Coming from a player who has established herself as a goalscoring machine in the A-League Women over the past five years, this is a huge move in that not only will she experience new football but it
Read moreWestern Force have landed a genuine coup in the second row, confirming that Trevor Hosea has signed a two-year deal to return to Australian rugby and pull on the blue jersey in Perth. The 26-year-old lock spent the past three seasons in Japan, first with Tokyo Sungoliath and more recently with Mie Honda Heat, but with Super Rugby Pacific increasingly targeting players with this kind of size and experience, it’s not hard to see why the Force moved to bring him home. From Rebels to Japan and Back: Trevor Hosea’s Path to a Wallabies Push Hosea isn’t a new name
Read moreThe Penrith Panthers well and truly made a statement in the bush, running out 42-18 winners over the Canberra Raiders in front of a sold-out crowd at Glen Willow Oval in Mudgee. It was billed as the sequel to last year’s famous “Miracle of Mudgee“, and this time around there was no fairytale finish for the Raiders — just a comprehensive Penrith performance from start to finish. In fact, Canberra scored the first goal which must have given their fans hope of another shock result. However, Canberra’s early goal advantage could not be maintained. With Penrith finding their rhythm, they
Read moreThe Sydney Swans have shown once again why they’re one of the most dangerous sides in the competition, producing a stirring last-quarter surge to defeat St Kilda 107–88 in an AFL Round 21 clash at Marvel Stadium on Saturday. For long stretches, it looked like the Saints might pull off the upset, but Sydney’s composure when it mattered most proved the difference in a match that had plenty riding on it for both clubs. It was an uncomfortable afternoon for the Swans. Playing with determination and intent before their own fans at home, the St Kilda players dominated for the
