Top tiger Sam leads from the front

FOLLOWING a hard-fought 2015 season the Noosa Tigers welcome new coach Sam Faure to the fold as they prepare to take out the 2016 premiership.
After coming so close over the past two seasons, the Tigers are determined the 2016 season will be their year and are proud to welcome Faure to the team.
Hailing from country Victoria, Faure played his first senior game at just 15 before going on to play for North Ballarat in the VFL.
After moving to Queensland in 2009, Faure played 130 games for Morningside before making the decision to move to the Sunshine Coast and take on the role of coach for Noosa’s beloved Tigers.
Faure has described moving to Noosa as “coming home” and at just 27, he hopes to play and coach at the same time with his trademark enthusiasm.
Faure said he likes to play as well as coach because he can better direct the team while on the field as he can pick up things he might miss while on the side line.
Training for the pre-season will kick off on Saturday 21 November at the Tigers’ home ground, Weyba Road, Noosaville, followed by a meet and greet with the new coach, players and sponsors over a barbecue.
