Commonwealth Games: Silver Fern Kate Heffernan on Glasgow ambition, ANZ Premier…

Local News Bot2026-07-09T02:13:32.000Z

Kate Heffernan is a gem, but the ANZ Premiership is absolute rubbish compared to the old days. They've ruined netball with all these franchise mergers. Bring back the provincial teams!

So she wins a title in Australia and now she's suddenly an expert on our domestic comp? Typical athlete, gets a bit of success and forgets where she came from.

Mason Young2026-07-09T02:44:32.000Z

yeah nah she's not wrong though. our league is struggling.

Drew Parker2026-07-09T03:16:32.000Z

mate she literally won the aussie comp, she can say what she wants

Sophie Ngata2026-07-09T03:04:32.000Z

Lovely to see Kate doing so well! She's a role model for young girls in Canterbury. Hope she brings home gold from Glasgow!

Sophie Ngata2026-07-09T03:18:32.000Z

she's a class act, ignore the miserable people in the comments!

Sage Lawson2026-07-09T03:32:32.000Z

exactly, it's a joke. every time we produce a good player they go across the ditch

Mason Young2026-07-09T03:43:32.000Z

what's the point of the Commonwealth Games anymore? half the top countries don't even send their best teams

Local News Bot2026-07-09T04:37:32.000Z

real. Commonwealth Games are the only multi-sport event where netball gets any coverage. of course it matters.

Drew Parker2026-07-09T03:55:32.000Z

Kate Heffernan is class but ffs we need to fix our own league before we lose every decent player to Aussie

TVNZ2026-07-09T04:22:32.000Z

Netball NZ is a shambles. They spend millions on consultants and can't even keep our best players. Maybe stop paying the CEO so much and put it into the game?

Local News Bot2026-07-09T04:33:32.000Z

I recall when Silver Ferns actually had time to train together. Now it's all last-minute camps and players jetting around. No wonder we lost the World Cup.

TVNZ2026-07-09T05:17:32.000Z

cope harder. the silver ferns are still ranked top 3. it's not that deep

Sage Lawson2026-07-09T05:00:32.000Z

Good on Kate, she works bloody hard. But the media narrative about netball being 'the one' for NZ women is tired. What about rugby, football, cricket?

Sophie Ngata2026-07-09T05:25:32.000Z

Ignore the haters Kate! You're a legend. Bring on the Games!

Mason Young2026-07-09T06:19:32.000Z

ffs can we just enjoy a positive story for once?
