I honestly don't see the need to post this in the 2021 Shield Snorters thread. It's not news, and it's not relevant.
It's interesting though isn't it.
God damn you're sensitive. -

Whose is it?
-
@yeetyaah yeah it is. A previous team mate of his posted a link to that trademe then a few of his other ex magpie teammates were saying they weren't surprised.
He's working with men's mental health type work (ala men's medicine/amend). There is a bit of annoyance with a few of those people who owes money etc about this as they haven't heard from him to either repay or at least reach out.
@Stargazer can you link me the Shield Snorters 2015 season thread I will repost in there.

It’s fine here

Oh no. Can't we offer them either (or preferably both) of Messrs Hammett or Philpott? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/news/super-rugbys-western-force-want-hawkes-bay-Shield Snorters-coach-mark-ozich/5JRBXYPPE3CNEPMYUQZAKFOSFU/

Downvote!!!
But agree on Hammett and Philpott as alternatives .
-
Unfortunately, Ozich has indeed signed with the Force. The media release doesn't say for how long. Damn, it's great for him, but so disappointing for us.
So what now? Josh Syms to take over and become head coach, next season?
And who to come in? Is Tafai Ioasa good enough to make the step up from Hastings Boys'?I don't remember what Brendon Ratcliffe's stint as Shield Snorters Head Coach was like ... if it was good, can we steal him from Napier Boys'?
Who else is there, in Shield Snorters or the rest of NZ?

@stargazer How times have changed , i know both Mark & Josh very well, can recall a story from both of them in their first season as coaches when the maggpies were losing a home game and were down by 20 points at halftime
they walking down the steps to address the team with many of the locals handing out plenty of advice reminding them that this was not a secondary schools team , and to go back to Auckland in colourful language .lol
Really stocked for Mark , a really good story of a guy who won the Gallaher Shield in Auckland as a player with his club Waitemata , coached Waitemata with a degree of success and has gone on to bigger and better things .
That game was against the Taniwha, Shield Snorters came back from 20 points down and won, they just had to remind me of that.😂..cheeky buggers.
Hope Josh hangs around. -

@stargazer Shit, that's a huge drop in standards he will be playing at, going from a decent team to one ranked at the Rebels level. Still it keeps him him fit enough for when the real rugby starts and pays a few bills too.
-
@stargazer I think Ratcliffes record was pretty poor from memory.I know its probably a massive longshot but Shield Snorters did try to get Joe Schmidt at one stage. Hes moving back to Nz but hes probably looking at a higher level than itm cup
-
@kiwimatrix Yeah, Schmidt would be great, but I can't see it happening.

Ozich will finish up at the end of the NPC season, and although Lewis offered him the chance to keep his NPC gig as well as coach at the Force, Ozich chose to move the family over to Perth full-time.
