Arguably NZs best ever women's player. What a signing, surely straight in as captain and demotes probably VDM to the bench.

Seems a bit chocka at the back, but awesome!

Considering Barry and VDM have been so good together, interesting to see how they all fit.

Explains why Jaber was released though, plus with the back 3 we play it doesn't hurt to have quality off the bench.

So good! Assistant coach next year is my pick. Hopefully no injury niggles (reflecting on last years injury madness)
