I'd never take on the U21 gig again, too much damned work and I don't have the time or the desire theses days.

Plus I'll have a couple of players in contention for the team, and I hate adding my own players to the U21/NTs

hahah don't scare away the potential candidates! Should've said it was rewarding and engaging but noooo....

That should be motivation to be running the U21. What if someone gets the gig and purposely does not add your players to the squad or does not play them in the games just because they got bitter about you beating them by 1 point in triple OT in a league game.

If someone is the type of person to get bitter over that, I wouldnt vote them in as coach :p.

Just feels more satisfying when someone else deems my players good enough to be on the team, rather than adding them myself.

Yourself Yoda
Mllama
Matty8
Trickster
C-Cat
Koops
Coach Regan
Mickyster
Bainsy (from Gisburne)
Coachnoodles
Dire


That is a great list but I can fairly certainly knock off Yodabig, Mllama, Trickster, C-Cat, Koops and Dire. But all the other names you mentioned would be awesome candidates.

I have done this job for several seasons and it is tough, far harder than the senior role but is also so much more rewarding, you really feel like you have such a massive role in shaping the team by getting the players trained in the right way and over half the players on the Indian U21 team at one stage were ones I had saved from teams going bot.

It is fantastic to know. Hopefully we will have a few candidates with the credentials and the personality to get things done. Things are so dead on the offsite forums right now it is a pity considering the massive work that managers have put into things in past seasons.

Do it!
U21 has your name written all over it.

If you run and ever decide to train a young 18 year old aussie in div3, I'll join you. We came to the ABBL in the same season, we shall depart in the same fashion. Only difference is that you'll have more trophies LOL

I appreciate your thinking, Sid, but I don't rate myself amongst the others on that list...not by a long shot...

...well, except Bains of course...I mean...would you really want him as the U21 NT Coach? He threw a game to get his mate into Div II at the expense of this other legendary Div III side at the time...can't remember their name but just recal there was something magickal about them. ;-) Shit, what if he threw an U21 NT game? No, no, no...vote 'no' for Bainsy! lol

Seriously though, all of those managers (including Bainsy) are awesome managers and all could take the great work Iwen has set up and progress it.

i didnt throw anything. i made a tactical error and rested players at the wrong time. Whereas another manager made the same mistake in the playoffs.

nothing to see here lads... walk along


but in all serious i am probably not a good tactical manager. But what i lack in tactical genius i make up for in strategic cunning. maybe that is what the U21 team needs!!

but in all seriousness it will be unlikely i run.
