Lemanis wins Coach of the Year

The players love playing for him

Years ago

Well deserved. People often forget that one of the coaches main responsibilities is to recruit good imports. Lemanis went out and got Jackson who is amazing. Then, he managed to get Wilko back.

Andre deserves this one & Fearne a very well deserved 2nd!!

As you know Isaac, Imports are a lottery and Lemmanis hit the Jackpot. It also wasn't like Jackson came in on Penney's salary, Wilkinson and a couple of others got increased $ and he scored an upgrade in Corletto over Webster but of course Corletto is on more $. Jackson is an upgrade on Braswell for sure. Most of this extremely strong team are local player developed by the club, how many other teams boast that much local talent?
For how long does he need to have a dominant team before he is considered the best?
Fearne has done a great job with a team expected to finish near the bottom but he missed out on the playoffs and I'm not into sympathy votes just cos half his team jumped ship in the off season.

Lemmanis is a deserving winner. Fearne is a great coach doing well with an average team but last year NZ straight dominated and Lemmanis was penalized in voting for having the best player in the league and a strong squad that he assembled. This year without Penney, Braswell and Henare they have again dominated. Lead games from start to finish, came back from double figures down to win, OT games and double OT games getting the W. Back to back minor premierships and a good shot at back to back titles.
