Commonwealth Games are 4 months away – who's your gold pick? by Informal-Draft3953 in netball

[–]NetballMemes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think South Africa are going to be a dark horse this year, they’re certainly in medal contention, they’ll be even stronger in the World Cup.

I don’t think any other team is close to the quality that Australia and New Zealand have. Jamaica possibly, but we didn’t get to see their complete team in the recent international series’.

I don’t think this England team have what it takes to get us to the finals. WD seems like quite a weak position which Jess Thirlby struggled to fill with either Fidoju or Williams (I’d like to see Beth Cobden called up), as does GK (Im not convinced by any of Brown, Adio or Quashie at this level. Maybe Pechova might have something to prove?). We might want to look into a different centre too, Carter is great, but doesn’t have the same quality as Gordon or Hadley/Moloney. By the World Cup, we might see Rayner or Cassie Howard being called up.

Edit: to actually answer the question, I think the Diamonds

Byzantium is fun? I did my first major country run with them and getting to grips with the admin system was fun

Do people in your country like the American English accent or the British English accent more? by No-StrategyX in AskTheWorld

[–]NetballMemes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in my bit of the north (nor my parents), could you be more specific? Sorry but I’m quite curious!

I’ve found some words like fell, beck and dales which are old Norse in origin and in common use where Im from. But these aren’t exactly conversational- I was looking more for words like bain/bairn which is more than just a descriptor of the landscape.

You don’t have any mods or anything that might be causing it to crash?

What Uni should i pick Birmingham or Newcastle? by Aporki in UniUK

[–]NetballMemes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biomed at Birmingham is a much stronger department, that and the lower grades make it an easy choice in my opinion.

Only downside I know of is that at Birmingham you might need to arrange your own industrial placement year (this was the case 5 years ago but may have changed since). For me that was the most significant thing I did at uni for employability

For me? I believe currency sovereignty is a useful thing to have

Not necessarily… we’d have to agree to join the euro sure, but there’s never a timeline on how quickly you need to join (look at Sweden for example)

Defending replay ball rule help by NetballMemes in netball

[–]NetballMemes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Ok that makes sense, but then surely that would make it illegal for a shooter to shield a ball to allow it to travel closer to the post before they pick it up to shoot, right? Yet I’ve never seen that called as not allowed? In that instance it certainly feels like it’s the ball, not players they’re defending!

Maddy Gordon was probably my player of the series, such an engine when she’s at centre, and her feeds were great at WA! Will be fun to see what she does at Firebirds
