R1 - yay netball’s back! R2 - #shovegate R3 - JT steps down R4 - a quieter week, so Sky decide to ramp up the broadcast issues again R5 - cancelling podcasts 2.0 is thriving!!!

@CoachLisaA I agree most players pull stunts. I’ve just noticed blatant ones from Scholes recently so spoke about it. Happy to discuss others but doesn’t disregard what she’s doing either. And it’s just discussion of sport at the end of the day? Hardly calling for her arrest 🤣

If the focus on other players matched Alicia's then we could have a fair discussion, IMHO.

@Im_not_hickin Agreed, ankle grabbing could lead to a career ending injury!! Not okay! How do you shake hands after that?

Ik we’re all talking about Scholes rn as we should but ca we talk about Georga Rowe?!She grabbed Darcy Everits ankle right in front of the umpires and missed like SO many shots with her height and experience there is no excuse #NSL2026

@linznetball @pet_essex @emiliesopinions Find me a clip of another player giving a blatant 2 handed yeet of their player and I’ll obsess over how bs it is (that’s me genuinely asking btw I wanna see. I know it’s not just Scholes!!)

@pet_essex @nswthunder @emiliesopinions She does seem to be obsessed with Scholes? 🧐

its just so disappointing, like girl you're good enough without these dumb moves! #NSL2026

@pet_essex @emiliesopinions I’ve shared about 7 tweets to do with netball. 2 of which about Scholes. I’ll ‘analyse’ other players in due time stay tuned 🤣😁

@nswthunder @emiliesopinions I would be interested to know if you analyse ALL NSL players with the same intensity as you do Scholes 🤔 went to supercup and see live NSL every couple of weeks and have seen and will continue to see this from numerous players but you keep sharing just one 🤷🏼‍♀️.

@unicorndreamsz @emiliesopinions It would be a valid reaction!

@emiliesopinions If somebody grabbed my ankle like that my reaction would be to kick them away. Like not even intentionally my body would just do it haha

yeah this game was so messy on both ends guys there’s just no need is there #NSL2026

@Netball_Nik She’s got a habit of trying to push her player offside..So not ok :(

Just Alicia Scholes trying to elbow Newton in the back after losing the ball. This has to be why she doesn't get called up for England. Her attitude gets the better of her.

@sophiamartin @emiliesopinions Ooh that’s so dangerous!!

@emiliesopinions There's this one from GR on the Ankle 😬

@ameliajordan_ Definitely doesn’t look 100% 🤒a bit under the weather maybe

Thank god Amy is coming off, i feared she was going to pass out by the end of the game with how puffed she looked from minute 1. Hope she's okay 🥵 #NSL2026

@emiliesopinions Agreed! Definitely aware that it’s not just her and that at this point it’s just part of the game.. But I’m soft and I do not like it🙈

@nswthunder i would say it definitely looks like shes being a bit grabby but im not sure if its much different than other players tbh, you definitely see a lot of grabbing when theres a turnover. i'll say that there were moments yesterday that weren't the nicest to see from her and others

QUESTION/OPEN FOR DEBATE What happened here? I really WANT to like Scholes..she’s brilliantly fast and the feeds are amazing.. But I see a lot of tussles, seemingly when the opposition get a turnover and her player goes on the attack. Is she pulling her back? #supercup #NSL2026

This is in no way directed negatively at the player. I’m just asking the question as someone who doesn’t play at a high level/train at a high level. I’m also aware it’s not just her!! I’m just querying as I see it quite a lot with her & am interested in the England selection saga

HOW ABOUT KEEP THAT ATTACKING TRIO (tchine gs housby ga Pearson wa) BUT KEEP CARTER AT C!!!

@emiliesopinions If she goes to the bench I’d also walk off court

okay starting carter but how long are you gonna let her stay on court? and why is it not going to be 60 minutes? #RSAvENG

This is the 7 that created that lead in Q4 yesterday so I back it #RSAvENG

@ChicCaro Already getting interrupted 😤would rather pay-to-watch

@_vuyomtheths Yeah I’m all for ‘testing’ in test series but that decision felt more like throwing spaghetti at the wall. No disrespect to either debutant. They could’ve just come on individually like you said alongside a more experienced defensive partner. Even just for confidence reasons

Okay now that I’m sober, that Goal margin was not needed😭✋🏽. I understand debuting everyone on your bench, but the entire circle defense? 🥴 Risky, even though Maduna and Ntshangase tried. I would had one of them with a more experienced defender 🤔 #sparchallenge #netballchaos

@cazzrhughes @Scottish_Suzi Or Thacker ? X

@Scottish_Suzi If Berri Neil isn't good enough then why take her as a TP? Then when you go and look at who is in the Roses Programme and see the only other shooter is Paige Reid. 🫠 I dont want to see Metcalf or Cardwell at GA either.

So, what is the plan for if Housby or Pearson are injured? #RSAvENG

@emiliesopinions I know test series are for testing but let’s conTEST first pls😭

like amy carter needs to be on court, helen housby needs to be on court. if the roses wanna win they gotta go it with their best seven, then try the combos once theyve got a SOLID margin or have won the series #RSAvENG
