Feel free to include other comps in here as well, not just the Dewar Shield.
A few changes made in club land with a few head coaches being announced and people moving clubs.
- Paul Maihi has moved back to Endeavour Hills from Souths to take over the head coach roll for 1st grade.
- Andrew Slyfield has moved from Box Hill to Uni to take over the 1st grade coaching there. Not sure what has happened to Jason and Brad, I think Jason has moved into more of a director of rugby role.
- Shaun Shannon has been appointed at Souths to replace Paul, I am not sure where he has come from.
Moorabbin had this on their website.
At the Club's recent Presentation Night President Paul Gascoigne outlined the new coaching approach that will be introduced for the 2016. He said:
In August, the Rams Committee decided to take a new approach to selecting senior grade (U16 – 1st team) coaches for 2016. This was based on 5 key decisions:
-That Expressions Of Interest were requested from all interested persons as soon as possible so that the selection process for the core panel of coaches would be completed before the end of season event
-That these expressions were reviewed by a selection panel consisting of three committee members and three senior players – Ikensio Tuia, Brendan Todd and Simon Brown
-That a Coaching Panel be established across all senior grades – from U16 through U18, Colts, Womens, 3rds, 2nds and 1st team – so that:
o Knowledge and experience could be shared throughout the grades
o Communication, engagement and mentoring between the teams is improved
o A playing style and attitude would be instilled right across all the teams
o Up and coming players could be better identified and nurtured
o Greater club loyalty could be achieved from the broad playing group
o There would be more effective succession planning for future teams representing the Rams in future years
- That this core panel be appointed for a 3 year period (subject to results) to bring continuity to the club
- That senior grade selection decisions would be through a selection panel made up of all the coaches with committee representation
9 EOI's were received. The panel reviewed all of these and reached a unanimous decision that 5 applicants be approached.
We are very pleased to confirm that 7 candidates have accepted positions for 2016 as follows:
- Frank Rees has accepted the role of Club Head Coach for 2016. Frank has many years' experience successfully coaching at representative level in Wellington and brings considerable knowledge and experience to the club. He is relocating to Melbourne to take up this role.
- John "Patches" Eden has accepted the roles as Senior Forwards Head Coach, Club Strength & Conditioning Coach, and Junior Academy Coach. John has many years of service to the club and brings excellent coaching and S&C skills with him.
- Ben Perenise has accepted the role of the Colts Head Coach, and also Junior Academy Coach. Ben is passionate about developing the younger generation of rugby players and brings years of experience and accreditation to the club.
- Paul Pulefale and Andrew Lefao have accepted the position of U18 Coaches. Paul and Andrew have nurtured and led the U18 squad for many years and the team's success speaks for itself. Their continued contribution will be essential in supporting the continued development of the next generation of Rams players.
-Junior Favia and Turbo have accepted the role of of Womens coaches and will continue to develop our Premiership winning Ladies team.
Over the coming months before the pre-season activity, other coaches will be appointed to support this core group."
