Netball New Zealand believe the long-term interests of the sport have been protected by pulling the plug on the domestic league advocated by Anna Mowbray and Ali Williams.
The proponents of a new privatised competition were blindsided by the NNZ Board's decision to end negotiations.
But Chief Executive Jennah Wootten told Mike Hosking there was extensive dialogue and meetings about the range of issues that made negotiations challenging, and both parties were clear about what those challenges were.
She says by the end, they'd flexed in a number of areas they felt were appropriate, but there were some fundamental differences in their views that they didn't feel were in the long term interests of the sport.
Going forward, Wootten says they're working very closely with netball zones and teams, and they're all united in what they need to be doing for 2027 and beyond.
