Pat is assisting Dan Cochran. Cochran impressed at the back end of last season so they kept him on as head coach. I saw the majority of the blacktown games last season and they have an impressive set up. They will do well this season. They are led well by Jerry Key who has impressed everyone with his leadership.
Jerry Key was one of the top players in the competition last season and was a major reason for Blacktowns improvement.
Dan Cochran stepped in when Adam Tuite stood down at the end of the season and was supported by Pat Weisner as he was still playing.
Pat Weisner is the Director of Football and Head Coach of the Massey and Shield teams in 2015 with Dan Cochran solely coaching the Massey and Leon Latulipe solely coaching the Sydney Shield again. Pat Weisner has done the recruiting for this season and as the Head coach of the club I think it will be more of a shared role with Dan Cochran rather then assistant coaching regarding the Massey Cup, with Pat also being there as a sounding board for the Sydney Shield coach and player management. The assistant doesnt do the recruiting.
The Blacktown players training up at Penrith at the moment have also said that the above is the case from what they know. Both clubs are still affiliated with Penrith for 2015 with Windsor entering Sydney Shield for the first time and Brad Prior still at the helm.
