Well, the broadcasting landscape for sport has changed significantly, and not just here in New Zealand.
You would get that more than most people.
I know that the board and the team at Netball New Zealand is working really hard on that at the moment.

That just highlights the depth and quality of talent that we have in New Zealand netball.
And obviously we're heading into a really interesting period with the Commonwealth Games only a few weeks away.
So I'm sure that the fact that we've had both a New Zealand competition and Australian competition with our athletes heavily involved is going to serve us really well as we head into that journey.
