Netball New Zealand may be changing up its eligibility rules. 

The body says it's currently looking at them, as the ANZ Premiership gets under way today without leading Silver Ferns shooter Grace Nweke. 

The 23-year-old isn't available for the Ferns as she's based in Australia this season. 

Netball NZ chair Matt Whineray says it's about maintaining a high-performance professional system here. 

He told Piney they’re trying to balance a bunch of stakeholder interests – it's not about one player.
