Former Silver Ferns defender Sulu Fitzpatrick is in favour of new netball rules being trialled in the men's game

12 July 2024

They include two-point shots, which have been a feature of Australia's Super Netball club competition since 2020.

Fitzpatrick, who's an assistant coach with the Northern Mystics men's team, says all sports have to adapt or risk dying.

In its centenary year, Netball New Zealand is also trialling other initiatives such as captain's challenges.

The new rules get a second airing tomorrow when the Mystics men - narrow winners in Game One - have a rematch with the Stars men on the North Shore.
