City West Falcons stars Montana Holmes and Uneeq Palavi will again be part of the Suncorp Super Netball environment.
The pair have been named as Melbourne Mavericks training partners for a second straight season.
Kristiana Manu’a and Jessie Grenvold have also kept their spots as training partners, while Nyah Allen makes the move over from South Australia.
Holmes and Palavi, who both played key roles in the City West Falcons’ Victorian Netball League championship, both made their Super Netball debuts this year.
Holmes, who was on the bench for a couple of Collingwood matches previously, got on court in two games late in the season.
She played a combination of wing attack and centre.
Palavi, who was also previously a training partner for the Magpies, made her debut for the NSW Swifts after getting a call up late in the season.
She signed on for four games, playing minutes in all of them, including starting in two games.
Palavi was named the SSN player of the round for her performance against the Giants when she shot 43 goals from 45 attempts in regular time.
Palavi told Star Weekly after that stint that it had been a crazy ride.
“It’s been such a rush,” she said. “It’s been going so fast.
“I feel like it was just yesterday that Briony [Akle, Swifts coach] gave me the call that she was considering me to come play and now I’m back at Falcons and it feels good to be home.
“I was so shocked when she [Akle] asked what I thought about it and I went, ‘are you sure?’ and we had a little bit of a giggle.
“I was so grateful that she even thought about me to put me in that position to show Suncorp what I can do and I’m grateful for it.”
