Tabs has advised that he will no longer be able to run his AXV team due to work and personal commitments and not having the time to run the team. He is happy to stay on as an assistant coach if required.
The Head Hunters were quite successful in the inaugural season of the AXV, finishing in 6th place on the ladder and making it through to a semi-final. It is a tea with a lot of talent in it that is suited well to the Sportsbet scoring system.
If you would like to apply for the position, please write up a quick application below on what your best XV would be, what direction you would like to take the team in and any credentials or experience that you might have.
Here is the team list.

Thanks for that Ric, I'm pretty sure this is the up to date list now.
Am I allowed to apply and merge with the Elephants. I'll give the Folders the left overs ;) :P

Hmmm, may need to have some discussions here... ;)
I am keen to have a crack at the AXV scoring system, played sportsbet last year and will do again this year, so I have a moderate idea of the differences.
I don't want to take a team away from a budding assistant etc, but if the race comes down to people already coaching in other divisions I am keen to apply!
Currently the coach of the Blackpool Bunnies in BXV and teams in the XVIII comp. I have been a member and regular contributor on FF for the past 4 years. This means that you will always get me online daily most days of the year. I think it is also important to keep the continuity of the Asias comp to replace one Swans fanatic with another! :)
The PNG Headhunters have an interesting list. TABS has done well to get the majority of hie players in a similar window to be able to challenge in the next year or two.
BEST TEAM
DEF: Pearce, Williams, Whitecross, Spurr
MID: Rockliff(C), Swallow(VC), Heppell, Gibson
RUCK: Clarke
FWD: Garlett, Thomas, Elliot, Blair
UTIL: Burgoyne, Gibson
EMG: Mckay, Evans, Mullet
Hi guys.
I would love to be the coach of the PNG Head Hunters. I believe this team is capable of winning this comp and succeeding in the future. With there young list I would look to build on this and recruit young players. I am often checking FF and would be on everyday if I were to get the coaching role.
If I were to be coach my starting line up would roughly look like this....
DEF: Burgoyne, Pearce, Spurr, Mullet
MID: Swallow, Rockliff, Heppell, Gibson
RCK: Clarke
FWD: Blair, Garlett, Thomas, Blair
UTL: Billings, Whitecross
EMG: Williams, Mckay, Bell
Also I would love to build that defence which seems to be struggling.
Assistant at Pacific Islanders WXV
Coach at Seattle Saints in AXVII
I have been waiting now for ages for a coaching position and now here one is so I hope all of you vote for me. :) :) :)

yeah no.
Is that closing date right?
Also, Are you guys currently going through trading? If not, would the incoming coach be given any trades to possibly give the team his/her tweak?

That's what I was thinking, a few days would be enough for potential applicants to apply, over a month is too long.

Ah yes, you are correct, that should be February not March. A month is wayyy too long, a week is long enough.
As for trading, I am waiting for Colli to get back to me on a few things so we will see then. I think we originally planned to end the trade period at the start of the NAB Challenge, but he has not been online much recently, so I might need to make a decision on that myself. I would imagine that the new coach coming in would be given the chance to make a few trades. We will still need to decide on that.

Hey guys, I'm applying for the position of Coach of the PNG Head Hunters.
I am on FF regularly and after following the XV and XVIII comps from afar I've decided to get involved starting with becoming an assistant at the Roswell Aliens in the Americas XVIII.
Proposed Starting XV
DEF: Pearce, Burgoyne, Williams, Mullett
MID: Rockliff, Heppell, Gibson, Curnow
RUCK: Clarke
FWD: Garlett, Thomas, Elliot, Blair
UTIL: Spurr, Mackay
EMG: Stanley, Bell, Whitecross
The team team looks pretty good. I've left out Swallow as I don't think he'll be ready Round 1, however when he is back the Mids look reasonably good. Defense has solid depth with Mullett and Williams to be improvers. Clarke in ruck is solid as well. Hopefully Stanley play as the second ruckman for the Saints as that would provide some more depth to the forwards, although this line may needs some star power to be brought in.
The team should go pretty well this year and with youngsters like Billings, Lennon, Michie and Naismith has a good future crop as well.
I'll give my vote to whoever trades me Rockliff :P ;) ::) 8)

Looking at your team, I think a deal can be made 8)
Any coaches who have applied here. There are also now 3 coaches jobs going in BXV
We are also going to have another vacancy in the AXV with Colli stepping down from the Werewolves.
Applications and voting for that job will be held just after this one, so if you don't make it with this team, make sure you apply for the other.
Make sure that if you have applied for the Head Hunters, that you apply for the Vipers as well, which has the same closing date for applicants as this position.

Fear not, Nige is here, also applying for this. ;)
I'd like to apply for the position of head coach at the PNG Head Hunters.
Best XV (with all players fit - e.g. Swallow/Whitecross)
D - S.Burgoyne, A.Mullet, L.Spurr, M.Williams
M - T.Rockliff, D.Heppell, A.Swallow, D.Pearce
R - Z.Clarke
F - J.Blair, J.Elliott, J.Garlett, L.Thomas
I - B.Whitecross, V.Michie
Plans moving forward
This team is actually a lot more youthful than I thought it was at first glance, so it should be competitive with a few adjustments. The glaring problem here is the lack of forward depth. The team could potentially do with a slightly better starting forward than those already in it and maybe the same for the defense. The midfield is a very good line and should be in future. A couple of trades could mend the issues.
Credentials
Co-coach of the Cairo Sands in WXVs
Coach of the Liverpool Rams in BXVs
Coach of the Oslo Oxen in TX
Coach of the Santiago Otters in SC Americas.
Assistant to tbagrocks here in AXVs
Assistant to Hellopplz in EXVs.
It would be awesome to take over this team if given the opportunity and be a part of this fantastic competition.
