Maddy Gordon to leave the Pulse and play in Australia
Maddy Gordon of New Zealand Photo: AAP / Another Silver Fern is heading across the Tasman to play their netball. Pulse midcourter Maddy Gordon has signed to play for the Queensland Firebirds in next year's Super Netball competition. She joins team-mate Kelly Jackson who announced her move to the Kiri Wills-coached Firebirds earlier this week. Queensland are making the most of the recent loosening of Netball New Zealand's eligibility policy . On Monday both Gordon and Jackson were named in Dame Noeline Taurua's first Silver Ferns squad of the year . Gordon has been with the Pulse since 2018 and has 29 Test caps. "I just can't thank the Pulse region enough," she said in a statement. "I came down here here as a young 18-year-old and they put me in the Manawa. "They backed me, they gave me a chance and not many people get given a shot like that." During her time in the Pulse, Gordon won three ANZ Premiership titles (2019, 2020 and 2022) and was MVP of the Pulse's 2020 Grand Final win. Firebirds head coach Wills welcomed the arrival of Gordon, who is able to perform at either wing attack or centre. "Maddy possesses a fantastic engine and brings a mix of pace and skill which has been proven at the highest levels internationally," Wills said. "Whether it is feeding our attack or providing disruption and hunting in defence, Maddy will be a great addition to our team for the 2026 season."

Consultation for proposal to cut crayfish catch limits off Northland's east coast begins
Fisheries Minister Shane Jones said the proposals would give the fishery a chance to recover. (File photo) Photo: RNZ / Mark Papalii Consultation has opened on a proposal to cut crayfish catch limits off Northland's east coast. Fisheries Minister Shane Jones said options included seasonal or year-round closures to commercial harvesting of spiny rock lobster, as well as reduced daily recreational limits for spiny rock lobster and packhorse rock lobster. The proposal would give the fishery a chance to recover, so in the long term there'd be more and bigger crayfish, Jones said. Healthy populations of crayfish helped keep kina numbers in check, so they did not destroy vital kelp forests, he said. In May, Jones said the proposal would be "controversial". "I know that closing down crayfish over the Christmas holiday period will be quite a controversial decision, so the engagement is going to be very, very tricky," Jones said. Anyone wanting to submit on the plans has until September 22. Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero , a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.
