The GIANTS have made one change to their team to face the Swifts in the NSW Derby this Saturday.
Rising talent and the club’s 11th player, Skye Thompson, comes into the team as the third shooter for the first edition of the highly anticipated cross-town battle of 2026.
Thompson replaces Monika ‘Otai who was a late inclusion in last week’s line-up following Lucy Austin’s injury and unavailability.
As reported earlier this week, Austin will miss the remainder of the Suncorp Super Netball season with the 24-year-old set to undergo surgery on her foot, with club looking to confirm her permanent replacement player in due course.
Meanwhile, Dakota Thomas remains in the game day 10 for a third consecutive week as the Temporary Replacement player for Jane Watson.
Thomas will remain in the GIANTS’ list of available players until Watson is deemed fit to return to the court.
All eyes now turn to Saturday, as the GIANTS gear up for a fierce derby battle.
