Former Silver Fern and current ANZ Premiership standout, Jane Watson, has signed with the Giants netball club in Sydney for the 2026 Suncorp Super Netball season.

The Tactix showed they are real title contenders after posting a defining 61-50 win over the Pulse in Christchurch on Sunday.

Jane Watson and Te Paea Selby-Rickit confirm they will be unavailable for Silver Ferns selection.

A third-quarter charge by the Tactix led to their overthrow of the ANZ Premiership champion Mystics.

The Mainland Tactix required all their experience and poise to fend off a spirited Northern Stars.
