As title says. I wonder if all three leaving ANZ Coaches were passed over as Silver Ferns Assistant Coach.
Or is it to do with the possible new format of ANZ.I’d like to think the ANZp coaches jumped before they were pushed in 2026.
We need coaches exploring different pathways regardless.
I wonder if DNT had a lot of push in this?
Maybe feedback has been to go out and seek new opportunities to broaden experience.
This is going to leave ANZ level coaches short.
Can’t edit above to add –
Stars recruitment has been a mystery to me in that very few import players get game time and the habit of bringing back retired players rather than grow the next tier down (from anywhere in NZ) doesn’t seem to have helped.
Astounded by that announcement.
MDH, Bloxham and now Wills gone. Surely has to point to Akle being Ferns assistant? Or maybe JWT in case Netball Australia don’t want a SSN coach involved?
Vicki Wilson has been spending a lot of time with the Pulse. Maybe she’s the new silver ferns assistant coach.
Wilson has previously been Ferns assistant under Taumaunu 10ish years ago. Taumaunu is now the Central Zone High Performance Director and got Wilson across the ditch to help out with the Pulse.
I say Wilson, because I’m 90% sure she applied for the head role coach. So potentially could be assistant again.
Imagine a NWEKE, BUETA, TOEAVA attack end! God help the SSN defenders! There’s space for Toeava now Ravallion has retired and Nweke (Wallam), although I saw a rumour on X that the England C Allison and Cholhok are going to the Firebirds.

OMG didn’t see this coming. I think it says a lot about Firebirds, namely couldn’t they find anyone in OZ to di the job???
I think Wills is a good coach so it will be interesting to see how she does.The only question for me is, why were 3 players released prior to her appointment?? She may well have wanted to keep them. What control will she have?
I’m sure NZ can find 3 suitable coaches THSR and made her first steps in coaching, thought I saw Sulu F with the mens team, there’s Julie, Tanya and Janine. YmD maybe persuaded to return.
Oh I bet Tamsin G would jump at the opportunity, having said all of that would NZ appoint a coach from outside the country?
Looks like Wills is being primed as Noel’s successor.
Hear on good authority that it will be Mary Cholhok – will make a huge difference. Just need a tall strong GK and Firebirds could finally be in for a good season. Here’s hoping that Wills can put the Netball QLD powers that be in their place.
