No word as yet as to possible replacements
Resigned or pushed out....?
His letter to the players and members stated that increasing commitments to work and family meant he had less time to coach at a Division 1 level. We obviously had alot of success over the 4 years with Nath winning a Div 2 and Div 3 flag so i would imagine its mixed emotions in relation to his departure. Should know who our new coach is within a week or 2 im hearing.
I think this post from a modbury player probably confirmed his resignation but thanks to Growler we can rest easy knowing its true now
My new Mantra - I am no longer available to things and people that make me feel like shit

Nothing to do with not being paid his full entitlement for the year?

Post the text message then
Why so aggressive?
day 5 off the gaspers.
Please try my patience.
Urge to poke the bear is now off the Richter
Good luck on the abstinence. One of the hardest things to do and one of the most rewarding if you succeed. The extra 8K a year and the opportunity to live longer should be good motivators. The only way I did it was to take two weeks holidays for the first two weeks when I quit otherwise you will box someone in their head.
The Rams are Bucking Awesome in 2017....Don't hate us because you rate us!!!!

I didn't hear that. What i did hear was something along the lines of the playing group not wanting him there anymore. One guy especially made his feelings known at the end of the season. Writing was on the wall from there.
C'mon mate. You seem to have an axe to grind with your old Premiership coach.
Every single club has a player or two that doesn't like the coach or want him there. I'm sure you have been at a club where you didn't like a coach but it doesn't amount to much.
He took the club to div 1 and won a little silverware along the journey just like he did at Gaza. Has every entitlement to move onto a new challenge or take some time off if he chooses. Whether he ends up at Pembroke, Blacks, back at Westies or has time off he has and will give honest service. He is not a coach that feels the need to piss in players pockets and try and be everyone's best buddy. He is however a coach who gets results.

Lol. The point I was making was that it wasn't much of a choice for him to hand in his resignation. Not doubting his resume.
