Does he actually fancy a change, or being squeezed out and Dan building his own team piece by piece around him?

A guess but I would say a bit of both. He needs S and C experience as being the top man.

I see that he is to be the Skills Coach
Who is he replacing - or which position are others now responsible for?

Soper got the assistant coach position. Grant forwards coach and Jared defense coach. I think Peel is moving on.

Newby comes from the same club as Soper in Dunedin so may have been a connection there. Will be interesting to see how it goes, pretty cheap you would imagine and only on a one year deal so if not working can make a change this time next year.

I like that it's someone a bit left field who's not necessarily a big name, so hopefully signed on their skills not reputation. Hopefully fits in well with us.

Craig Newby was a star for us as a player, many wanted him to remain as a coach.
