Netball: Contract issues snags Trans-Tasman series

Contract issues is clouding the Australian netball team's three-test trip to New Zealand next month.

The Australian Players Association hasn't signed the latest collective contracts, with the previous deal expiring at the end of last month.

Netball Australia president Noeleen Dix said the Players Association dumped a massive list of requests on them just days before the team were named for the tour.

Dix said the contracts were prepared back in June this year and were given to the association, which has yet to get back to Netball Australia.

Players Association board member Eloise Southby-Halbish said she has never seen a contract.

The first training camp for next month's tour has been cancelled and neither Southby-Halbish or Dix can guarantee the tour will go ahead.
