Super Netball season three has attracted the best and brightest talent in world netball and will boast what many are predicting will be the closest competition between its eight clubs ever.

There are plenty of old faces and numerous new names on the player lists with Australians making up 74 per cent of the talent pool.

In total there will be 59 locals playing with 21 players hailing from overseas in what is also a World Cup year for the sport.
