Super Netball Round Ten wrap up

Super Netball round ten was headlined by Geva Mentor’s contract extension at the Pies, and Tippah Dwan’s record breaking performance in a shock Firebirds win.

Ahead of Super Netball Round Ten star defender Geva Mentor signed a contract extension, keeping her at the Pies in 2021 which was a bright spot in a somewhat bleak season for Magpies fans. Meanwhile, the Queensland Firebirds celebrated a shock win over the NSW Swifts, with youngster Tippah Dwan breaking the Nissan Net Points records and sinking 34 points for the home side.

The work Moloney and Thwaites do to open space for Watson is incredible. Every WA’s dream to run the show, dominate possession & have free range in their attacking third. Classic type As. #SSNVixensFever

Thwaites being at GA a lot this year has completely changed up her game. The amount of work she is doing on that court is anazing and she’s having the season of her life #SSNVixensFever

So do we still hate the super shot now that the Vixens are back in it? 🤔 #SSNVixensFever

Lara Dunkley has really shown she can be a starting player today. I have loved Mi Mi this season but Dunkley today has really owned that WA position. #SSNSwiftsFirebirds

I know Wood won with her shot but Karla Pretorius is the most clutch current netballer in the game, doesn’t dominate her GA but picks up ball when it counts and the pressure is on #SSNGiantsLightning
