As top-level netball returns to the three months after a World Cup, Tamsin Greenway assesses what has occurred in Liverpool in the game as a memorable 10 days.
Weve pitched that word momentum around a lot, everyone talked about it and everybody wanted it.
So that there was no media momentum which we saw at the Commonwealth Games, sadly, we did not get that golden medal at the World Cup. Yes it had been a rivalry that is very successful, however, about being World Cup winners relying was a risky strategy.
I believe as English fans we had such an awesome experience, and obtaining a bronze was great but Id like to have seen real effect.
Fast5, for example does it clash with the England internationals?
We know there are whisperings that we are going to get some huge overseas signings, which is great, but what a shame that we still have a competition thats loved by folks – that sells out, thats a fantastic product – which we cant display our finest English gift on too.
I think thats something which England Netball need to address, since we talk about momentum, but are we helping ourselves?
The big names from overseas show how good the product it is, so how awesome is it have been if we could have had some of those brand new England superstars which were announced within this fulltime programme on display.
I think that is such a pity that we can not get dates to work. Last year they went to Jamaica and this season theyre in Australia on a coaching tour and I really dont see how we can not make this work.
Gamers want to play it also. Its a pleasure competition that is true and I think that its extremely sad that we ensure it is impossible for you to do this.
I know there were a couple of question marks if the England programme was announced. What happened to the likes of Rachel Dunn, Jade Clarke and Eboni Usoro-Brown? That I dont believe there is this obvious comprehension of the principles or exactly what that means although I understand there is a procedure of P1, P2 and P3.
I guess that is where my insecurities come out. Our most capped England player , jade Clarke. Whats happened to her? Has she married, has not? I dont think that it should be say and to appear.
I feel like they are stories. I want to understand. Rachel and Jade are my friends so I speak to them but I need to know from a professional point of view, I want these stories to be discussed and discussed.
What happened from last year from their programme to players like Sasha [ Corbin ]? Kadeen? They are big English titles did they not, therefore are they P3? I think theres got to be dialog.
It is not to understand all of the intricacies, it is just for greater transparency on the basics, thus we are able to discuss it, conversations, start debates, keep momentum.
We end up having the wrong conversations afterward. When I put it out on Twitter individuals would like to have these conversations, I know, they want to speak about gamers and things moving. I feel that we arent currently educating people and whats really happening.
I believe we need far more clarity and more clarity on the gamers and how they influence this season.
When it regards squad sizes this year, who you can earn from a world point of view in addition to the amount of the transfer window, most of these are .
From a media standpoint and having worked either side, writing for the Telegraph and spending a lot of time working with Sky Sports , also its likely my main frustration. We will need to be open to altering how we speak about it, if we need to discuss how the sport is moving ahead.
