Claim: During New Zealand netball team Central Pulse's 2008 inaugural season, they failed to win a single game after signing Scotland defender Sonia Mkoloma.
Evidence: This article is about the sports team. The Central Pulse are a New Zealand netball team based in Wellington that compete in the ANZ Premiership. Player selections for New Zealand franchises in the inaugural season were delayed due to ongoing negotiations between the New Zealand Players Association and Netball New Zealand. The negotiations prevented New Zealand franchises from signing players, and were not settled until 22 December. Nevertheless, England defender Sonia Mkoloma was one of the first players to be named for the 2008 Pulse squad, before the player agreement was signed. During 14 weeks of round-robin matches, the Pulse failed to win a single game, with a 0–12 win-loss record and a lone point from a draw against the West Coast Fever.
