Coaches Confident Ahead Of New Season

Harbour coaches Craig Dowd and Jeff Wilson experienced most things in rugby while playing 60 tests each for the All Blacks in quite magnificent careers. But neither was quite expecting the rocky road they faced last year in their first season coaching together in what was a difficult season for Harbour.

Head coach Dowd says although last season was frustrating at times it was also a valuable learning curve.

Dowd says lessons learnt from last season’s campaign have been well and truly taken on board by both the coaching staff and players

“We have aspirations and self-belief within the team. We are confident we are going to have a good season, with making top seven the first part of the goal, but who knows after that. In this competition anybody can beat anybody. The one thing with the ITM Cup, now after the salary caps have come down, is the teams are a little bit more even.”

Assistant coach Wilson says he expects some natural improvement as he and Dowd prepare for their second season in charge at Harbour.
