Congratulations to all winners on a wonderful season.
Special mention to NIck Morton picking up the B&F award. He’s always been an ex city player to watch. But this year has been a standout in terms of his maturity and leadership of the team. Well deserved.
Great job by all
Question please what are the criteria for coaches awards ?
Surely Devenport coach had to win the award
James hasn’t really improved his side or achieved anything from previous season
A big congrats to Ken Norton again for all the results south have achieved this year
Won basically all the juniors including 21s and again introduced and developed some young lads into the npl squad
As always he guides his other coaches really well
The NPL coaches choose
Danny Arnaiz either better be playing NPL regularly next year or get picked up by a club on the mainland because he is wasted in the U21s competition. He is a super talent and it'd be shame if his potential isn't realised
Fellow NPL coaches choose coach of the year. So Ballantyne will have to ask them why he didn't get voted in. I assume its for the same reason why Nick Morton did not win Player's Player
It’s a shame it’s a popularity contest and not judge on merit with sone kind of criteria and overseen by FT
Almost every year the NPL Coach of the Year is a complete head scratcher. If the coaches vote for it, that explains it. Clearly just voting for who they like. A new method to determine the winner is obviously required.
It could be that coaches see more then just the wins
Why just because a Devonport person didn't win
Agree that Danny Arnaiz is a standout player with amazing foot skills. Super talented and delightful to watch him carve up the field,
How does a coach who finishes 3rd win coach of the year? Considering the funding$. I’d think it’s underperforming
Are we still on this knights are the only people that pay story cos riverside spent money so did city we know Devonport do as do Clarence and kingborough oh yes and south the coaches voted they watch all the games
