And just like that, the signing window reviews are over.
We've finally arrived at the Queensland Firebirds, who spent their signing window raiding the best talent from the netball cupboard that is New Zealand.
Will the additions of Gordon, Selby-Rickit and Jackson help the Firebirds surge up the table, or will they remain rooted to the bottom?
Listen to find out what Matt and Liv think about it all.

Signing Window Review - Sunshine Coast Lightning

Another signing window, another victory for the Lightning!

It's not all good news though. Steph Fretwell has retired (sad face) while Reilley Batcheldor and Tara Hinchliffe have departed, both signing with the Melbourne Mavericks.
Will Cara shine in goal attack?Can they keep everyone happy?All these questions (and more) will be answered on today's mini-ep.
