Rumours are the Vodafone Warriors are putting together a package for Noelene to take off from Kearney.

They are hoping she genuinely is a miracle worker.

Very complementary from Mr Reason

Has Reason been in hibernation ? Haven’t heard any of his claptrap for ages.

I still won’t read if it’s an article about Netball though.

Can she co-coach the Blues and Warriors at the same time.

Very informative about the planning behind the last 10 months.

One Goal: The extraordinary turnaround of netball's Silver Ferns

One Goal: From the depths of humiliation, the Silver Ferns became world champions. Rarely has a sports team come so far, so fast.

Good news for the ladies

[canefan]

If she wins the comm games too she will put herself in the pantheon occupied by few coaches. I can't remember how many titles Lois Muir won

[dogmeat]

@canefan Muir coacxhe3d Ferns to two WC wins. The 87 and the one that was shared by us Oz and Jamaica/

Ruth Aitken coached us to a WC and 2 Comm Games wins.

Netball wasn't a Comm Games sport during Muirs tenure

The Wyllie woman behind Netball NZ's cunning plan

So who is Jennie Wyllie, thrust into the spotlight in New Zealand netball’s darkest hour, and now holding the key to the cabinet storing the sport’s three greatest prizes?

NTB shows again that she's no fluke, making crucial changes that help the Silver Ferns edge Australia by a goal after overcoming a 5 goal deficit at 3/4 time

Looks like the Ferns won a 1 point thriller to take a 2-1 lead in the constellation cup series

Worth posting to acknowledge a legend of NZ netball.

@Bovidae nice that she got to come back and win the WC after being treated badly by Netball NZ for playing in Oz

[Bovidae]

@canefan And very fitting that Langman, Kopua and Folau's last game ended up being the final. Like McCaw, they ended their careers a winner.

[Crazy Horse]

Langman developed into one of my favourite players, despite me being frustrated with her early in her career. She was an exceptional WD who was moved into centre early on. She was not a natural passing centre, but she improved that part of her game immensely.

A true legend on fitness alone.

On a side note, it's a pity they can't play the NZ netball comp and the Aussie Comp at different times to allow some players to earn a living through both competitions and remain eligible for national selection.

Ooh yeah they've been showing the ANZ over here.

Fucken eh Pulse! Ekenasio is on another planet eh, I think I'm in love.

Poi (sp?) from the tactix is bloody handy for a midget, reminds me of that other short centre we had about a decade ago who was a bit of a hottie.
