    Ep.150: Replenish or Rebuild

    WARNING: We had major issues with our recording for this one, unfortunately! So you'll be listening to a Zoom call which Nick has tried insanely hard to salvage. BUT on this episode, we discuss all things round 1 of the Super Netball! The Fever demolish the Lightning (what will Sunny Coast do?!) how do the Swifts replace a treasure like Sam Wallace, and the Thunderbirds get on the board early! It's all RIGHT here. Sorry about the audio!
