It showed that Australia and New Zealand, who were at the helm of the netball world for so long, are now being joined by England. 

It has now been two years since the ANZ Championship was disbanded in favour of the Super Netball (Australia) and ANZ Premiership (New Zealand). 

Majority of the Silver Ferns went back to New Zealand to play as they were told they wouldn't be considered for international selection if they played in Australia. 

Laura Langman, probably one of the best to grace the court for the Ferns, was the only player not to return as she helped Sunshine Coast Lightning win the inaugural premiership last year.

She played 141 consecutive tests for New Zealand but with the new change, she was told she was no longer part of the Silver Ferns.

At the Commonwealth Games, the Silver Ferns failed to even snare a bronze medal, the first time they failed to medal since the introduction of netball at the Games.

But does this strengthen the argument that Suncorp Super Netball is helping shape the international game?

Writing for Players Voice, former Diamonds captain Liz Ellis remembered the times Australia use to blow countries like England and Jamaica.

"What used to happen in netball was we’d all play in our home nations and Australia always had this huge intensity about our play," she said.

"We’d play England or Jamaica or someone like that and we’d blow them out of the water in the first Test of a three-Test series."

Ellis continued by saying the skill has always been there for these nations but the mental intensity wasn't. 

"Now they’re playing in our league and they’ve got it," she said.

"And they take that intensity back to training when they train with their home nation, and the players around them understand that and they educate them, and we’re seeing the result of it."

Six England players were part of the Super Netball last season, including Helen Housby (NSW Swifts) who scored the winning goal and Jo Harten and Serena Guthrie who play at the Giants.

"A lot of us English girls, we've always had the raw talent and raw skill but haven't been able to put it together back home for 60 minutes," Hartsen told The Sydney Morning Herald. 

"Coming out into this other world into Super Netball and before that the ANZ Championship, it allows you that opportunity to play with the best each week, pick yourself up after each game and try and back it up.

"That's the real benefit of playing out here, we're playing against the best players every single week. You have to be up on your top level each time you step on the court," she said.

Super Netballers now have the opportunity to pursue a full-time career in Australia after the new Collective Bargaining Agreement came into force ahead of the 2017 season. 

Being able to ply their craft in a professional environment will only see the international game grow for countries like Jamaica, Malawi and South Africa who all have players in the competition.

The growth of these nations was already seen at the Commonwealth Games as Malawi pulled off their win against New Zealand in the pool stage while Jamaica claimed a bronze medal.

"I do think Suncorp has played the role definitely in enabling us to understand what it means to see out a game,"  Guthrie told The Sydney Morning Hearld.

The effects of the Super Netball will be seen more over the coming years as more and more players join the top league in the world and in the future the face of netball will be far different from what it is now.
