“I think Pulse are definitely going to be up there, I also think looking at Loughborough even though they didn’t make the semi-finals at the weekend [in the Netball Super Cup], they’re always going to be up there with the quality that they’ve got throughout their whole group.
“It will be season and the truth that we do not fairly know who’s going to be in that high 4 – I do not suppose you possibly can name it – stands our league in good stead.”
The introduction of the brand new Tremendous Shot rule will even make the league unpredictable. The brand new regulation will permit groups to attain two-goal pictures from a devoted space inside the outer fringe of the capturing circle over the past 5 minutes of every of the 4 quarters.
Greig defined: “Now with the format that we’re really enjoying – we’ll be enjoying 45 minutes of regular netball, and quarter-hour of Tremendous Shot netball – it should be actually exhausting to say what group goes to face up and be counted.
“I don’t think you can discount London Pulse with the quality that they have got through their whole unit, but it will be interesting to see how teams actually apply Super Shot, whether they go early and try and get a bit of a lead and put the pressure on teams trying to catch up with the scores. It will be interesting to see.”
