  • 2011 Football Club Chairman’S Report
    MANLY-WARRINGAH RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Premiers. That is all that needs to be said to sum up a magnificent 2011 season. Congratulations to Co-Captains Jamie Lyon and Jason King and all the players and to Des Hasler and all the coaching and support staff. Congratulations also to David Perry and the office staff at Narrabeen for all the behinds the scenes work they do that make it possible for the Football department to be successful. Congratulations and thank you also to the Board of the Sea Eagles, and our co-owners in the Sea Eagles, the Penn family and Quantum, without whom this premiership could not have been achieved. Your Club, the mighty Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles once again stamped itself as the best Rugby League Club in Australia, not only winning its second NRL Premiership in only 4 years, but by becoming the only Club to have won at least 1 Premiership in each of the last 5 decades. Such a long tradition of success is testament to the strength and character of our great Club and our relentless drive for success. Superstar players, even Immortals, have come and gone. Coaches have come and gone. Administrators and Board Members have come and gone, but what always remains is the Manly- Warringah Sea Eagles Club, something much greater than the sum of the individual parts. So we look forward to 2012, with local junior, Life Member and Club legend, Geoff Toovey leading the charge towards another milestone, the first back to back premierships since 1992-93.

  • The Judicial Disciplinary Procedures of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union
    317 THE JUDICIAL DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES OF THE NEW ZEALAND RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION Maryanne Haggie * This paper examines the model established by the New Zealand Rugby Football Union Inc (NZRFU) to deal with acts of violence on the rugby field. Love it or hate it, rugby is a metaphor. It can be used to define and describe the good and the bad of New Zealand society... Maybe it's a truism to say that a country's national game is a clue to its national soul, but there can be few better clues. 1 I INTRODUCTION International success may be one reason why there is passion for rugby in New Zealand. It shows that a small nation can succeed against bigger, more powerful adversaries. The nature of the rugby game also reflects dominant New Zealand ideals such as egalitarianism and teamwork combined with individual skills and strength.2 Rugby engages the bodies of an estimated 150,000 New Zealanders3 and many more are coaching, managing, refereeing, washing jerseys or expressing their opinions on talkback radio. Most New Zealanders have a robust opinion about rugby, whether it be positive or negative. * This is an edited version of a paper submitted in fulfilment of the LLB(Hons) legal writing requirement. 1 Finlay McDonald The Game of Our Lives (Penguin Books Ltd, Auckland, 1996) 1. 2 See: W H Oliver and B R Williams (eds) The Oxford History of New Zealand (Oxford University Press, Wellington, 1981) 277­278. 3 Statistics New Zealand Facts About New Zealand (2 ed, Daphne Brasell & Associates, Wellington, 1995) 130.

  • Manly-Warringah Rugby League Football Club Limited Annual Report 2013 Football Club Chairman’S Report
    MANLY-WARRINGAH RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN’S REPORT It is with great pride that I present this Annual Report 2013 to Football Club Members. In 2013, the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles have once more enjoyed a level of success that is the envy of other clubs in the NRL competition. While many of the so-called experts did not predict the Sea Eagles to make the finals, let alone the Grand Final, Geoff Toovey, his entire coaching staff, recruitment team and of course the players, proved them all wrong. I congratulate them all for an outstanding achievement in 2013. The strong winning culture that has been the hallmark of the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles over many decades has been maintained and strengthened in 2013. Preserving and protecting this heritage is the central focus of the current Manly-Warringah Football Club Board. The Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles has a proud tradition, with the local junior league being established in 1932. We have played at Brookvale Oval since the Club joined the competition in 1947, played in the same colours and with the same name. Although the Club has been a privatised entity for ten years, the Manly-Warringah Football Club and its members hold an important stake in the Club, that is, the preference share which governs where the team plays, its name, logo and colours. Under the current Board’s tenure this heritage and tradition has been fiercely protected on behalf of Football Club Members. And while there are times this puts us at odds with other powerful and vested interests and has earned us unfair media criticism, we make no apologies for standing up for these important things.
