RNZ understands that the meeting ran for nearly 10 hours, with no agreement reached and the parties are due to resume talks this morning.<\/p>\n
The national body will be desperate to finally break the coaching stand-off, with the Silver Ferns due to meet world number one Australia in the Constellation Cup starting on 17 October.<\/p>\n
With the squad due to head into camp on 6 October, the pressure is on to find a resolution between Taurua, the Players’ Association and the national body.<\/p>\n
The issues trace back to a training camp in January. Following the tour, two players approached the NZ Netball Players’ Association on behalf of a larger group of up to seven players, who raised concerns about Taurua’s leadership and communication style.<\/p>\n
Players alleged the environment had become “psychologically unsafe” and an independent review later highlighted “significant issues” within the Silver Ferns environment.<\/p>\n
RNZ has learnt that several past Silver Ferns have put references forward in support of Noeline Taurua.<\/p>\n
