Temepara Bailey

She made a come back as a player for the Northern Stars in the 2019 ANZ Championship. She was previously on the coaching bench for the same team.

In 2009, Temepara George announced her availability for the national team, and committed to playing with the Silver Ferns until at least the 2011 World Netball Championships. She was subsequently selected for the inaugural World Netball Series in Manchester, which the Silver Ferns won with a 32–27 victory over Jamaica in the final. George travelled to Delhi the following year for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, winning gold with the Silver Ferns after an epic 66–64 gold medal playoff against Australia. Injury forced her out of the side for the three-test series against England in early 2011. She recovered in time for the start of the 2011 ANZ Championship season. The Mystics had their best ever campaign in 2011, qualifying for their first finals series, before finishing runners-up in the grand final. George was recalled into the Silver Ferns for the 2011 World Championships in Singapore. The Silver Ferns progressed to the gold medal match against perennial rivals Australia, and in another overtime match New Zealand were defeated 58–57.

With the start of a new netball competition in 2008, the ANZ Championship, replacing the National Bank Cup, Temepara George considered signing with the Queensland Firebirds while living in Queensland. She eventually turned down the Firebirds in favour of returning to New Zealand, and signed with the Auckland-based Northern Mystics franchise.

That same year, Temepara George was a contestant on the New Zealand version of Dancing with the Stars. George went on to win the 2008 show, partnered with Stefano Olivieri. In 2009 George appeared on the New Zealand travel program Intrepid Journeys, travelling to Darjeeling and Sikkim.

In the leadup to the 2007 World Netball Championships, Temepara George announced on 30 July that year that she was standing down from international netball. She moved to Townsville, Queensland to live with her then-partner, rugby league player Sione Faumuina, who had accepted a contract with the North Queensland Cowboys. George's absence from the Silver Ferns was widely believed to have decreased the team's chances at the upcoming World Championships in Auckland. New Zealand finished second at the 2007 World Championships, behind Australia.

George was selected again for the Silver Ferns in 2000, and later that year made her debut against Australia. The next several years saw George make her mark on the international circuit and cement her position in the Silver Ferns midcourt. She missed out on the Silver Ferns team for the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, but the following year was named in the team for the 2003 World Netball Championships in Kingston, Jamaica. New Zealand progressed to the final of the tournament, which they contested with Australia. During the final, George was sent off for three goals, but the Silver Ferns eventually defeated Australia by 49–47 to win the tournament. Her performance also earned her the Albie Pryor Memorial Sports Person of the Year at the Māori Sports Awards. George won another gold medal three years later at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

George was spotted as a talent in netball early, being selected for the Silver Ferns squad in 1996. She took time off the following year with the birth of her second child, and subsequentsly continued with the New Zealand A team and Silver Ferns training squad. With the start of the Coca-Cola Cup in 1998, George signed with the Auckland Diamonds for the league's inaugural year. In 1999, George transferred to cross-town rivals the Counties Manukau Cometz, under coach Ruth Aitken. In 2000, she transferred again, this time to the Northland-based Northern Force, where she continued playing until the end of the competition in 2007.
