She is the linchpin of our team.Bassett, 28, has played only in her home state of Western Australia, first for the Perth Orioles and then for the West Coast Fever in the trans-Tasman competition.Wood, 24, is from Queensland and played for the Sunshine Coast Lynx in the state league before signing for the NSW Swifts two years ago, playing a part in their back-to-back grand final defeats.I was ready to give netball up a couple of years ago so I am just taking the opportunities given to me, and having another team in Queensland has given me the chance to come back home which is a dream come true, Wood said.
