00:00Laura, how is Nova shaping up this year?
00:02Yeah, we are beyond excited to start the 2026 season.
00:05We've got a bit of a movement.
00:06You know, there was the year of the baby last year,
00:08so we've already asked him for a crèche
00:10because we know that we're going to need that extra support,
00:12which we're really looking forward to seeing
00:14all those extra girls on the sideline from our 2025 season
00:17coming to support our 26.
00:19But we've got a really good and really positive
00:22couple of new additions to the team.
00:24Ange Williams has finally flown back in from England.
00:27She's coming in.
00:29Who else have we got?
00:30Kel Huggins returning.
00:31She fell pregnant through the 2025 season,
00:35so we're really looking forward to seeing her back.
00:37Peyton Cook stepping up from our opens
00:39and is going into our champs team.
00:41She's doing really strongly in the Premier League at the moment.
00:45Vo DeCourt obviously is coming back
00:47after the back end of the 2025 season.
00:49We're really excited.
00:50And Tiana Kelly is also making a return from having a bub.
00:52So more on the sideline,
00:54but it's great to see the girls back out in court.
00:55Who's the player to watch in your team?
00:57Look, I don't think we could pinpoint one.
01:00I think there's a lot of experience coming into our 2026 season.
01:03We've got a lot of new blood coming through.
01:06Nikki Robinson is also coming over into our team this year,
01:09so she brings a lot of experience, a lot of competitiveness.
01:12So we're really excited about her.
01:14You know, you can't go past Zoe Peden,
01:16obviously, with a wealth of experience in her Premier League divisions.
01:18But I think from end to end,
01:20we know that we can cover each other,
01:21and our focus has always been connect,
01:23and we'll continue to be connect.
01:24So we're looking forward to it.
01:25And who's the team to beat?
01:27I think it's going to be interesting this year.
01:28There's a lot of movement that's happened.
01:29So a few of the girls we were explaining before,
01:32you know, they've also had pregnancies within their team,
01:34so there's been a shift.
01:35But look, we want to be the best,
01:37so we're going to make sure that we're at the top,
01:39and, you know, we'll have to do whatever it takes to get there,
01:41and hopefully we'll make sure we're the one to be.
01:45All right.
