Silver Ferns centurion Laura Langman is devastated and bewildered by Netball New Zealand's decision to stand down coach Dame Noeline Taurua

Silver Ferns centurion Laura Langman is devastated and bewildered by Netball New Zealand's decision to stand down coach Dame Noeline Taurua

11 September 2025

The governing body's sidelined the 2019 World Cup winning mentor - due to unexplained "issues" that remain unresolved in the high performance environment.

Langman says if current players are unhappy with the direction Taurua is taking, it is GUTLESS and SELFISH not to come forward and state what those issues are.

She adds that Taurua is bold and innovative, tough when she needs to be, but always compassionate and fair...and, importantly, team first.
