"I certainly don't think I will be going that long. I still have a few years left ...but I didn't even think about playing in Australia. That just wasn't an option at all. I want to play for New Zealand, especially with the Commonwealth Games and world champs coming up, they are the pinnacle for most netballers...so Australia never entered my mind at all."
