2016/2017 Money Shield

No.

Do you think his replacement will come from inside the club or has the search begun for a new coach?

Nick wasn't coach this year, so that search is null and void.

Nick has been a brilliant servant for our club. To come across and have an immediate impact on the playing group taking us to a Money Shield Premiership, only the second 1st XI flag of our club, was nothing short of outstanding, and will forever hold a special place at the club, and with the other 10 blokes in that team.

He has a lot of things happening in his life with a new job that has taken up a lot of his time, as well as only recently being married.
Nick came to us and we had a very honest conversation about the club and moving forward without him at the helm of the 1's.

A great mate, and a great bloke that we hope will be involved around the club for a long time.

Well said Nic

I would expect Ross to continue as coach next year. As for a captain, as I and several others see it, there's certainly potential within the current group to do the job. That said, I know we will be recruiting, there are some gaps that our 2nd XI is not deep enough to fill, so I guess it depends who is recruited. Fortunately, that's not my problem.

you dont recruit. you buy players from overseas.

We weren't exactly the only ones, plus you get no argument out of me about it, I vehemently and openly disagreed with getting overseas players. However, if I read between the lines correctly in what's been said post season, I think committee may have finally realised their error here and agree with my initial thoughts on the subject 5+ years ago. Not that the current executive of the club would swallow their pride and admit I was right.

Besides which, if I'm interpreting the 457 visa bans correctly, there may be no overseas players for anyone next season.

I reckon he'll be running amuck at the Ginger pride Fanta pants festival in the city tomorrow!
