TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 14 April 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 07 April to Tuesday 14 April 2009 Give us a chance: WITH France joining Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand to make up an international quad-nations series this year, Fiji Bati centre Darryl Millard has called on the Pacific Nations to be considered too. After the 2008 Rugby League World Cup shake up of the international calendar by the Rugby League International Federation, it has been proposed that a Pacific Cup be held this year. The winner of the tournament enters the 2010 Rugby League Four Nations tournament (consisting of Australia, New Zealand, England and a qualifying nation). A Pacific Cup is also proposed to be held in 2011. Jones not available for Kiwis: He still has that magic touch but little general Stacey Jones has ruled himself out of contention for New Zealand's clash with Australia next month at Lang Park. The scheming halfback said he would not be available for selection for the Brisbane match which takes place on May 8, the day after his 33rd birthday. After one year out of rugby league, Jones made a shock return to the NRL this season and has shown he still has a knack for creating tries. Linwood win 17-try see-saw: Former Warrior Kane Ferris scored a match-winning try on the stroke of fulltime as the Linwood Keas snuck home in a 94-point rugby league thriller against east-side arch rival Aranui. Linwood's Canterbury Bulls hooker Nathan Sherlock and Aranui Eagles back Tim Rangihuna both scored four tries as the Keas clung to a 48-46 victory at Rugby League Park on Saturday. Switching codes - why rugby league is the hot ticket in town: WAYNE SCURRAH, chief executive of the Warriors, does his own surreptitious market research. The tightly-run NRL rugby league club doesn't have the personnel, finance or even the computer system (yet) to engage in high-flown demographic profiling, so Scurrah keeps an eye on such little things as whether pubs are chalking up Warriors' games ahead of Super 14 rugby union fixtures on their "what's on" blackboards. He was walking along trendy Jervois Road in Auckland's Herne Bay recently when he saw the best evidence yet that the dirty old Warriors are suddenly appealing to the middle classes and the business suits. Tax clampdown to dash UK dreams: The annual exodus of league stars from New Zealand and Australia to the UK Super League could slow down because of a crackdown on loopholes by tax officials there - and could hit some already there in the pocket. The news was partly behind Nathan Fien's decision to stay in the NRL when he comes off contract at the end of the season, and NRL clubs are warning players that they could be in danger of losing their tax-free lump sums. League star admits part in $2 million pokie scam: NEW ZEALAND rugby league great Hugh McGahan has been convicted on four counts of fraud for his role in a $2 million pokie scam masterminded by former teammate Brent Todd. McGahan, 47, pleaded guilty to defrauding the North Harbour Rugby Union and Touch NZ in the Auckland District Court at a hearing on Tuesday not attended by media. The charges were laid by the Serious Fraud Office. Hopes raised for NRL inclusion: Wellington is once again positioning itself to be home to a professional rugby league team and bid head Jason Hemson is adamant the city has a genuine shot of breaking into the NRL. The Gold Coast Titans beat bids from the Wellington-based Southern Orcas and the Central Coast to become the NRL's 16th team in 2007. Talk of playing in the British Super League failed to gain traction while Wellington also unsuccessfully bid to become New Zealand's initial entrant in the competition in 1995. Sydney Roosters scouring South Africa for talent: THE Sydney Roosters have turned the tables on rugby union by extending their search for new talent to South Africa. Roosters recruitment manager Peter O'Sullivan has spent the past week in the country casting his eye over emerging talent from the rival code as he looks to bolster the club's stocks for next season and beyond. The Weekend Australian understands O'Sullivan has travelled to the country with the aim of targeting young players with potential, rather than existing stars. Big issue no one is game to tackle: Players of Pacific Island origin now account for 40 percent of the NRL's number. David Gallop must wish they were all like the squeaky clean and freakishly talented Israel Folau, but such a large population defies stereotyping. Roy Masters reports on the league's ever-increasing islander influence. This Easter will see some of the NRL's Pacific Island players attend church and prayer groups and others join their Australian-born teammates at nightclubs, compounding the confusion of administrators struggling to accommodate the diverse cultures of the soaring number of footballers from the south seas. Samantha sidelined by league's gender rule: Samantha Campbell's rugby league career has been kicked into touch - at 12. The Halswell youngster who plays for Sydenham couldn't wait for Saturday's competition kick off, but found out last Wednesday she was banned. Samantha is a victim of New Zealand Rugby League's new mixed gender rule that restricts girls playing junior league to those who were 11 or under on December 31. League academy Witt’s Uni Games hope: THE WITT rugby league academy is shaping up as the institute’s hot ticket at this month’s Uni Games in Taranaki. The Rugby League Education Academy started in January under the guidance of coordinator Rob Hewitt — well known for surviving more than 72 hours drifting off the Kapiti Coast following a diving accident in 2006. The 75-year war: How French Rugby League survived to conquer: It's been a rough-and-tough ride through a World War and attacks by rugby union, but 'Rugby a Treize' continues to grow... While it will surely pass without due recognition, Monday, April 6, 2009 marks an important anniversary in the history of the great game of rugby league. It will mark 75 years since the creation of the French Rugby League, a sporting body (and a sport) which has suffered greater continual direct and indirect oppression than perhaps any other in the long history of sport. A sport that was banned outright by the Nazi-collaborationist Vichy government in 1941 under the direct influence of members of the French Rugby Union. Memory of Butterfield kept alive: JOCK Butterfield's wife, Lillian, reckons it was a day he would have loved. The New Zealand rugby league champion died five years ago but he hasn't been forgotten. The children who played in the Jock Butterfield round-robin competition, organised by the Burrum Miners, are making sure of that. Jock Butterfield, who was 72 when he died, was named in the New Zealand team of the century last year. He played 36 Tests for the Kiwis between 1954 and 1963. Give us a chance WITH France joining Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand to make up an international quad-nations series this year, Fiji Bati centre Darryl Millard has called on the Pacific Nations to be considered too. After the 2008 Rugby League World Cup shake up of the international calendar by the Rugby League International Federation, it has been proposed that a Pacific Cup be held this year. The winner of the tournament enters the 2010 Rugby League Four Nations tournament (consisting of Australia, New Zealand, England and a qualifying nation). A Pacific Cup is also proposed to be held in 2011. "I definitely think a Pacific team deserves and needs to be included (in international quad-series)," Millard said. "I think the best way is a Pacific Nations competition each year during the Origin period and the winning team goes through. "It will be massive for the international game and for league to break that dominance of rugby union over there. But a combined team would be good, too. "With Tonga, Samoa and Fiji combined, it would be an unreal team. "We'd give the competition a fair shake." The Canterbury Bulldogs player believes Fiji has plenty of players who can make a name in the sport. "Fiji is an untapped resource for rugby league players. There are plenty more Noa Nadruku's out there," he said. The Age earlier reported that there are forty per cent of National Rugby League (NRL) players of Tongan, Samoan, Fijian, Maori, Cook Island or indigenous heritage -- but over half of the code's elite under-20 league and two-thirds of junior representative players from western Sydney are of Pacific Island descent. (Source: Fiji Times, 14 April 2009) Jones not available for Kiwis He still has that magic touch but little general Stacey Jones has ruled himself out of contention for New Zealand's clash with Australia next month at Lang Park. The scheming halfback said he would not be available for selection for the Brisbane match which takes place on May 8, the day after his 33rd birthday. After one year out of rugby league, Jones made a shock return to the NRL this season and has shown he still has a knack for creating tries. Not that it will extend to playing for the reigning world champions. "No, I have just come back for one season and just want to get things sorted out there," he said.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 21st September 2016 Newsletter #140 By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan RIKEY DID the Vodafone Warriors get hammered at the weekend. The constant theme was that we Cneed a player clearout. That is hardly groundbreaking stuff, but what was, was that players were named. Hugh McGahan singled out Manu Vatuvei and Ben Matulino, arguing both had failed to live up their status as two of our highest paid players. The former Kiwi captain said Warriors coach Stephen Kearney could make a mark by showing the pair the door, and proving to the others that poor performances won't be tolerated. “Irrespective of his standing, Manu Vatuvei has got to go,” McGahan told Tony Veitch. “And again, irre- spective of his standing, Ben Matulino has got to go. They have underperformed. If you're going to make an impact I'd say that's probably the two players that you would look at.” Bold stuff, and fair play to the man, he told it like he saw it. Kearney, on the other hand, clearly doesn’t see it the same way, since he named both in the Kiwis train-on squad, and while he acknowledged they had struggled this year, he backed himself to get the best out of them. In fact he went further, he said it was his job. “That's my responsibility as the coach, to get the individuals in a position so they can go out and play their best.

  • Bennett Demands Improvement for a Must Win Australia Clash
    Sports FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2016 Daly to make first starts for England BAGSHOT: Elliot Daly will make his first start for England, after five appearances off the bench, as he was named at outside centre for tomorrow’s clash with South Africa at Twickenham. The Wasps man received the nod ahead of regular 13 Jonathan Joseph, who has been battling a groin injury but is named among the replacements. Flanker Tom Wood, dis- missed by coach Eddie Jones a year ago as “distinctly average” and flying winger Jonny May, who suffered a serious knee injury in December, make their first appearances since the World Cup as Jones was forced into a raft of changes due to injuries. Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes will lock the scrum in the absence of Mario Itoje and George Kruis while Marland Yarde is back on the left wing. An uncapped trio of prop Kyle Sinckler, number eight Nathan Hughes and centre Ben Te’o were named among the replacements. “With a few influential players not available for selection this is a great opportunity for some of the new faces to put both feet forward,” Jones said. “I’m also pleased to see a number of returning players get their chance on Saturday, most notably Jonny May after his long injury rehabilitation and Joe Marler, whose attitude and application to training these last two weeks has been first- class.” Daly is the most eye-catching selection, not least because Joseph has performed so well as first choice in every one of Jones’ nine games - and nine wins.

I nearly always think about him when the Bulldogs are set to take on Parramatta. There isn’t a year goes I by when I don’t have at least one conversation about this player who, on one fateful September day in 1998, saw his career come to an end. He set a new benchmark for horrid individual performances on a rugby league fi eld. Now, to give Carige’s performance context, it is important to understand the simmering hatred between Canterbury and Parramatta at the time. The Bulldogs and Eels were wild rivals in the 1980s but that was an enmity built out of style and the pursuit of superiority rather than any underlying natural disposition of dislike between the two outfi ts. These days, the rivalry remains strong but it is a very one-sided deal with little respect given to the Eels by the Bulldogs faithful. But, in the 1990s, the feud was hot – the hottest feud in the game.
