KIWI HEAD COACH SHORTLIST
CONFIRMED

NZRL Vice Chairman Sel Bennett has today confirmed the shortlist of four candidates who will advance to the next stage of the selection process.

They are Stan Martin, James Leuluai, Brian McClennan and Tawera Nikau.

Leuluai and McClennan come as no surprise as the two coaches most noticeably groomed for the top job as assistants to Daniel Anderson.

?The fact that these two emerged as the obvious favourites in the public?s view is a clear indication that NZRL?s succession planning and coaching pathways are working? says Bennett.

?Amongst a high quality group of applicants the panel felt that Stan?s vast experience and Tawera?s potential were worthy of a closer look?

The panel headed by Bennett will conduct interviews next week with a view to making a recommendation to the NZRL Board by Monday 13 June.

All queries regarding the appointment process should be directed to Mr Bennett on 021 975 276.
