The semi-finals of Super Netball have left us with three teams who now have to decide whether they are contenders or pretenders. 

The Thunderbirds are through to back-to-back grand finals.The Fever are full of ruthless confidence as they head to Melbourne for the preliminary final. 

Meanwhile, the Vixens have dropped off the pace and are battling mental demons as they try to shake off imposter syndrome and reclaim their inner belief. 

Listen here for all your finals analysis, plus an interview with Bess Schnioffsky about the research she’s done into netball’s historical white femininity.

Jamaican defender Jodi-Ann Ward is back playing Super Netball, 10 months after rehabbing an ACL injury. Last week her bottom-ranked, winless Giants ALMOST beat the No.1 ranked favourites Adelaide Thunderbirds. In the end, they lost by just two goals but there were so many positives to take from the result that they're hoping it will be a turning point for the rest of the season. Ward speaks about her incredible combination with young goal keeper Erin O'Brien and her aspirations of playing at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games this year.

The opening weekend of the 2023 Super Netball season saw the Jamaican imports star, cleaning up all four match MVP awards available.

Other than that, we saw an upset in the first game, some impressive debuts and the defending champions the West Coast Fever make a strong statement.

Our guest this week is South African and Sunshine Coast Lightning star Karla Pretorius who shares her experience returning to elite netball after taking last year off during pregnancy.

We also hear about Pretorius’ excitement for a home Netball World Cup, coming up in July in Cape Town and what she hopes it will do for the sport in her country.
