Five teams sit on equal points at the top of the New Idea Australian Netball League (ANL) ladder with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), Queensland Fusion, Victorian Fury, Netball NSW Waratahs and South Australia all locked on five wins each.

The nature of the ANL draw means that not all teams have played the same amount of games leaving the AIS, Fusion and Fury the best placed with five wins and no losses.

Western Australia and South Australia both posted two wins on the board in Round 5 and will look to consolidate their place on the ladder in the last two rounds of competition.

Netball NSW Blues and the Territory Storm endured mixed fortunes with a win and loss, while NSW Netball Waratahs one their one match of the round.

Despite a home ground advantage Singapore were not able to record their first win for the season.
