Suzie Liverseidge Unlocked: The Big Interview

London Mavericks' Suzie Liverseidge joins us for the latest instalment of our Big Interview series, and after a second superb season, there's plenty to discuss with the 24-year-old. The chat begins with Suzie looking back on a "rollercoaster" season with the London franchise. From injury setbacks to backing performances up, the attacker reflects on the challenges of the 2026 edition of the NSL. She shares her thoughts on being selected for England A for a second time, and the conversation she instigated about what she needs to do next. We turn to Suzie's experience in the Super League, starting first with Loughborough Lightning, where she won two titles. She reveals why she wanted to turn away from goal attack and into the midcourt, and the intricacies behind making such a positional switch. Life at the newly branded London Mavericks, Tamsin Greenway's expert brain, and Suzie's impressive running times are all up for discussion, as well as some of her bigger-picture thoughts.

A Fascinating NSL Grand Final and Knockout Netball

It's Grand Final week, which means time for Paul and Chloe to get their heads together and look ahead to the showpiece of the Netball Super League season. A memorable Saturday in Manchester beckons, on and off the court, and Chloe will be at the Co-Op Live for us, but before all of that we preview the action and look back on the Preliminary Final. After London Pulse got the perfect response to their major semi-final defeat, we break down a smothering defensive performance and a clinical attacking performance and ask if Pulse can go again. Loughborough Lightning were on the receiving end and for the first time since 2019 they will not be in the Grand Final, so we ask where the franchise goes from here, and whether there might be a refresh on the cards after a run of three NSL titles in six seasons. After all that we get into the 2026 Grand Final, with the tactical questions facing Karen Greig and Sam Bird and the head to heads across the court. It's Roses match-ups everywhere you look as Halimat Adio vs Eleanor Cardwell tops our power rankings list of the battles, closely following by Taylor McKevitt up against Alicia Scholes and Funmi Fadoju against Lois Pearson. There's plenty more for us to weigh up as the league prepares to crown it's champions, and there's time for a quick round up of the news as the iconic Jane Watson retires, and the SSN gets their final four. Which also means, we ask if anyone can stop the fearsome Adelaide Thunderbirds.
