Nathan LimPANELIST
Yeah, I asked him yesterday, I spoke to Niles and to Jenna Whitton, the CEO yesterday, and that generally is how it goes, right? You sign to the end of a World Cup cycle and then there's a review and then you go forward.
Nathan LimPANELIST
But it is a big win for the Silver Ferns and for Netball New Zealand to have her on contract again.
Nathan LimPANELIST
for the Constellation Cup and for the games against the men later this year and then obviously the World Cup next year and I suppose it'll be a bit of a relief for Knowles to have a 12-month build-up rather than taking over the team about three weeks out from the Commonwealth Games.
Nathan LimPANELIST
They still won gold so I mean Obviously, they're...
Daniel GilhoolyCORRESPONDENT
Now with sport, here's Daniel Gilhooly.
Daniel GilhoolyCORRESPONDENT
Netball New Zealand boss Jenna Wotton says work is continuing at pace on a new private franchise league.
Daniel GilhoolyCORRESPONDENT
The National Body confirmed earlier this month it had accepted a bid by high-profile couple Anna Mowbray and Ali Williams to take over the licence to run the elite domestic competition.
Daniel GilhoolyCORRESPONDENT
The details of the new league, including the format, number of teams and broadcast arrangements, are yet to be confirmed.
Dillon BoucherGUEST
For us, we really want to be able to get some runs on the board in the win column so that when it comes time to have those conversations with people, you can hand on heart say we're a championship Gallup team and you're coming into a championship organisation.
Kyle MillsHOST
Definitely, and just on the league, I don't know if you're potentially the best person to ask, maybe the CEO could be, but a lot of talk at the moment in the world of professional sport in this part of the world, you know, with New Zealand Rugby and their finances, Netball New Zealand, the NRL, new broadcast deal.
Kyle MillsHOST
I know there's a bit of chat across the pond about the A-League and their struggles at the moment running a professional league.
Kyle MillsHOST
From the NBL's point of view, health-wise, financially, broadcast, engagement with fan bases, is it in a pretty good spot going forward?
Karen McCarthyHOST
In sport, Dame Noeline Taurua will remain at the helm of the Silver Ferns through to the end of next year's Netball World Cup.
Karen McCarthyHOST
The reappointment comes just a year after Dame Noeline was stood down following a bitter dispute with Netball New Zealand over the team's high-performance environment.
Karen McCarthyHOST
She was later reinstated and went on to lead the Ferns to gold at the Commonwealth Games, breaking a 16-year drought.
Karen McCarthyHOST
Dame Noeline says since returning to the Ferns environment, her focus has been on looking forward.
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
Dame Noeline Taurua has signed on again to take the Silver Ferns into the next World Cup.
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
Isn't that great, eh? Netball New Zealand has announced today they're extending Taurua's contract until, until September next year, so let's have a chat to her.
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
Hi, Dame Noels.
Noeline TauruaGUEST
Hi, how are you?
6 MINS LATER
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
She's a national treasure." What do you think?
D'Arcy WaldegraveGUEST
Yeah, it's wonderful.
D'Arcy WaldegraveGUEST
I don't think Netball New Zealand had a choice though, did they?
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
No.
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
Dame Noeline Taurua has signed on again to take the Silver Ferns into the next World Cup.
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
Isn't that great, eh? Netball New Zealand has announced today they're extending Taurua's contract until, until September next year, so let's have a chat to her.
Heather du Plessis-AllanHOST
Hi, Dame Noels.
Noeline TauruaGUEST
Hi.
Lisa OwenHOST
And Dame Noeline Taurua has been reappointed as Silver Fern's head coach through to the 2027 Netball World Cup.
Lisa OwenHOST
The contract extension comes a year after her relationship with Netball New Zealand broke down in a bitter dispute over the team's high performance environment.
Lisa OwenHOST
We're joined by sports reporter Felicity Reid.
Lisa OwenHOST
Felicity, how did Netball New Zealand arrive at this decision?
Felicity ReidCORRESPONDENT
It seems with new people at the helm of Netball New Zealand, they've patched up a few things with Totoa.
Felicity ReidCORRESPONDENT
They said there was only ever one woman for them in this process.
Felicity ReidCORRESPONDENT
Jenna Wooten, who's been in the Netball New Zealand CEO seat for five weeks, said that Totoa was the only person they'd spoken to.
Felicity ReidCORRESPONDENT
So Totoa's role was obviously up for grabs after the Commonwealth Games because She'd come back from that 51-day stand-down period last year, and then the timeframe that she was back was until the end of that pinnacle event.
FinnPANELIST
Grab a $2 sausage each Tuesday in September at Night and Day.
FinnPANELIST

Guy HeveldtHOST
I think things are OK. Dame Nolene Taurua is with us after four o'clock.
Guy HeveldtHOST
She has re-signed for another year as coach of the Silver Ferns through until the end of next year's World Cup.
Guy HeveldtHOST
Why only one year? Does she want to continue after that? Was it Netball New Zealand's call? And how are they tracking towards the Constellation Cup next month? Chat to Dame Noeline Totoa about that.
Guy HeveldtHOST
Slade Griffin next hour as well, assistant coach of the Warriors.
Marcus LushHOST
They would help her out, but I would rather go to Monthly Plan Better.
Marcus LushHOST
I thought Netball New Zealand would have sorted Nolene's phone in the new contract.
Marcus LushHOST
Thank you.
Marcus LushHOST
Here till 12, 0800 80 1080.
Noeline TauruaGUEST
So I'm thankful that I'm still here and as I say I don't take my position lightly.
Guy HeveldtHOST
I don't want to delve into this too much, but how is your relationship with netball New Zealand these days? Has it improved?
Noeline TauruaGUEST
You know, so when we finished Commonwealth Games, you know, we got a new CEO that came in and it's only been five weeks that she's actually been on the job.
Noeline TauruaGUEST
But man, she's done a whirlwind, you know, like she's action Jackson, that lady.
