Noelene Taurua is a goddamned fucking coaching legend. NNZ should be kissing her boots right now, after what she achieved in less than a year. Losses to minnow teams, bundled out of the CG, super charged division in team, confidence gone........to world champions.
she is the Scott Robertson of Netball (or maybe more correctly Scott is or will be the Noelene of NZ Rugby)

I wonder what Janine Southby thinks now?
We know that Langman and Kopua wouldn't have come back for starters.
I feel sorry for her, she should have never got the job in the first place. The rules that sent Langman into exile didn't help either, which falls at the feet of the previous regime

This article explains perfectly all that Taurua did to get the Silver Ferns back as world champs and probably save the sport in the process. Netball NZ needs to do whatever she wants to get her back as head coach.
Why the Silver Ferns can't lose Noeline Taurua
Analysis - In 11 months coach Noeline Taurua restored mana to the Silver Ferns and delivered on her word to medal at the Netball World Cup. RNZ netball reporter Ravinder Hunia looks back at her reign.

They can't afford to drop the ball again. I am sure it will not be just about the money as there just isn't that much in netball. But give her a blank page

I agree with your comments, and Poole and Lancaster were to blame for the situation the Silver Ferns found themselves in.
Back to the game, after watching a full replay of the final, Ekenasio was outstanding.

why do they have to do it?
It'd be great if the Netballers got a wad of cash for thier efforts, but...

It's funny that someone could complain about netballers not going paid enough. I'm not sure what the audience in the UK was like. You do have to wonder why the final was in the middle of the night for the two traditionally strongest countries though. Then the highlights package isn't great, hardly selling your sport.
I'm thrilled for the Silver Ferns - I don't think anyone saw this coming a year ago. Taurua must be coach of the year, for sure.

@hydro11 Sky dedicated a channel to Netball throughout the World Cup, plus there were regular segments on all the breakfast shows etc, it's certainly a sport on the rise in the public eye. Maybe they could have played it in the evening, but I doubt that was going to make a huge difference to viewing numbers in NZ and Aus - what time would you propose? Playing in the evening could well have turned people in the UK off too.
England may not have won, but the World Cup has been a success for netball as a sport
Even though England haven’t brought home the gold medal, I still think the World Cup itself has been a success.

It's brought out any number of bandwagoners if FB is anything to go by.

Why doesn't the final just start on Saturday night, giving a Sunday morning viewing time down here. No reason for it to be at five in the evening.
