TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 22 December 2008 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 16 December to Monday 22 December 2008 Sparcs fly for league fans: RUGBY league boss Ray Haffenden has doused the flames ignited by Sparc's funding snub last week. Fans were outraged when the government funding organisation seemed to ignore their sport and the achievements of the world champion Kiwis. "Rugby league will get funding once the Sparc review into our sport is completed in February," Haffenden told Sunday News. Warriors open 2009 at home to Eels: The New Zealand Warriors will open their 2009 National Rugby League season with a home match against Parramatta Eels on Saturday, March 14. The Warriors will play three of their first four games at home, including matches against the Brisbane Broncos and South Sydney Rabbitohs. Bulldogs sign Kiwi junior: IN A massive boost ahead of next season, the Cootamundra Bulldogs have snared the signature of a 20-year-old Kiwi who has been a part of the New Zealand Warriors Development Squad. Jonathon Carl, a utility back who is equally at home at fullback, five-eighth or in the centres, and has the extra bonus of being an accomplished goal kicker, will fly out to Australia early in the New Year to link with the Bulldogs. Rugby league receives big increase in Sport England funding: Rugby league has received a significant increase in funding from Sport England, with funding up from £18.5million to £29.4million. The award will cover a four-year period from April 2009 to March 2013. The Rugby Football League will use the cash to increase participation by developing alternative forms of the game such as tag rugby and creating more opportunities for over-35s and women. Best sporting moment of 08: New Zealand couch potatoes rejoiced in 2008, their fitness levels heightened by frequent leaps in the air as our Olympians, Kiwis rugby league players, Scott Dixon and All Blacks among others had a successful time. Magical night lifts NZ to league's summit: Who would have believed it even a few weeks ago? Just a year after the Kiwis were thrashed 58-0 by Australia and whitewashed 3-0 in a series by Great Britain, New Zealand rugby league finds itself at the summit of the international game. The tag of world champions is the Kiwis' for the next five years thanks to a fairy tale night in Brisbane in November. Ups and downs of rugby league’s centenary year: Rugby league’s centenary season was supposed to be a celebration of all that is great in the game. And for the most part it was. However rugby league’s ability to toss up controversy continued to overshadow the game’s most important year with poor sportsmanship by officials, player misbehaviour and fading loyalty again dominating headlines. Below is a snapshot of highs and lows of 2008. Crowe says time for Rabbits to fend for themselves Actor Russell Crowe has told the South Sydney league club he owns it's time they stood on their own feet. In a video Christmas message to Rabbitohs members and fans, Crowe said while he and sponsors will be financing an upgrade of the club's facilities this year, he'll be standing aside at some stage, and the most important thing is to increase the club's membership base to about 15-thousand from its current 6-thousand. Crowe and businessman Peter Holmes a Court bought a 75 per cent stake in the NRL club for $3 million in 2006. Source: Radio New Zealand, 16 December 2008 Sparcs fly for league fans RUGBY league boss Ray Haffenden has doused the flames ignited by Sparc's funding snub last week. Fans were outraged when the government funding organisation seemed to ignore their sport and the achievements of the world champion Kiwis. "Rugby league will get funding once the Sparc review into our sport is completed in February," Haffenden told Sunday News. "It was initially supposed to be finished by December but the job is being done in a thorough manner and will be pushed back until February now." Haffenden is confident that once the results of the review are established, the sport will get some money. "I would hope that is the case," he said. Sparc's high performance manager Martin Toomey told Sunday News that rugby league's piece of the pie was being held in the warmer drawer until the review's findings were known. "We were always going to keep them (league) separate," Toomey said. "We want the review to run its course and see what an independent committee suggests and then go from there. "There are no guarantees but they could certainly get some funding once the review is completed." If that were the case it would mark a huge turnaround for the sport. A year ago Sparc lambasted the way rugby league was governed, which prompted the independent structural review. "The relationship between Sparc and ourselves has improved out of sight in my opinion," Haffenden said. "I don't see anything that suggests otherwise." The organisation was close to financial ruin after spending had run wild under chairman Andrew Chalmers. He resigned, Haffenden took over, Gary Kemble was replaced by Stephen Kearney as Kiwis coach and Wayne Bennett brought in to assist. The pair led New Zealand to a stunning world cup win over arch rivals Australia. There appears to be a lot more faith from the sport's stakeholders in Haffenden and his board and the sport seems to be back on the rise again. "We are back on track but we still haven't got any money though," Haffenden said. "We budgeted for a loss this year and all of our stakeholders knew that. Hopefully, that loss will be a little smaller than what we anticipated." And now he's hoping there is a flow-on vibe from the world cup victory to give the sport the boost it needs. "I have been travelling with the cup the last couple of weeks and I'm just staggered with the reception is has received," he said. "The cup is on show at the New Zealand Rugby League Museum Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so people can see it. "A lot of good things have come out of this year but we can't sit back and think the job is done. "I was speaking to Stephen Kearney the other day and he thought the work was just starting. "Now that we have the cup we need to work twice as hard to keep that momentum going. "Winning it has created a lot of work for all of us but that is a good thing."

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 28 October 2008 RE: Media Summary Wednesday 29 October to Monday 03 November 2008 Slater takes place among the greats: AUSTRALIA 52 ENGLAND 4. Billy Slater last night elevated himself into the pantheon of great Australian fullbacks with a blistering attacking performance that left his coach and Kangaroos legend Ricky Stuart grasping for adjectives. Along with Storm teammate and fellow three-try hero Greg Inglis, Slater turned on a once-in-a-season performance to shred England to pieces and leave any challenge to Australia's superiority in tatters. It also came just six days after the birth of his first child, a baby girl named Tyla Rose. Kiwis angry at grapple tackle: The Kiwis are fuming a dangerous grapple tackle on wing Sam Perrett went unpunished in last night's World Cup rugby league match but say they won't take the issue further. Wing Sam Perrett was left lying motionless after the second tackle of the match at Skilled Park, thanks to giant Papua New Guinea prop Makali Aizue. Replays clearly showed Aizue, the Kumuls' cult hero who plays for English club Hull KR, wrapping his arm around Perrett's neck and twisting it. Kiwis flog Kumuls: New Zealand 48 Papua New Guinea NG 6. A possible hamstring injury to Kiwis dynamo Benji Marshall threatened to overshadow his side's big win over Papua New Guinea at Skilled Park last night. Arguably the last superstar left in Stephen Kearney's squad, in the absence of show-stoppers like Roy Asotasi, Frank Pritchard and Sonny Bill Williams, Marshall is widely considered the Kiwis' great white hope.

  • Sir Peter Leitch Club at MT SMART STADIUM, HOME of the MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS
    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.

  • WESTS TIGERS RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL V NATIONAL RUGBY LEAGUE – the CASE THAT COULD HAVE STOPPED the NRL
    2011 6(1) Australian and New Zealand Sports Law Journal 1 WESTS TIGERS RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL v NATIONAL RUGBY LEAGUE – THE CASE THAT COULD HAVE STOPPED THE NRL David Trodden* ‘It could cost us £30 million but what can we do? He’s given a goal.’ This was Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp speaking after a refereeing error resulted in a goal being awarded against his team when the ball clearly didn’t cross the goal line. It was in a crucial end of season match against Chelsea in the English Premier League. Spurs lost the match 2–1, negatively affecting their prospects of qualifying for the European Champions League in the following season.1 ‘What can we do’ asks Harry? ‘You can’t sue a referee’ I hear you say. Why not? Everyone else is liable for their mistakes. Why not a referee? Is there any principle of law which prevents a referee from being sued? This article attempts to examine what Harry Redknapp, and those in similar situations, can do. It examines the possibility of taking action to correct an incorrect refereeing decision. It also considers, in a far briefer and more general sense, the possibility of recovering damages in circumstances where the decision can’t be corrected. Wests Tigers found themselves in a similar situation to Tottenham Hotspur when a refereeing error cost them the chance of playing in the 2010 National Rugby League (‘NRL’) Grand Final. This is what they could have done. Introduction On 25 September 2010, Wests Tigers played against St George Illawarra Dragons at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, in the preliminary final of the National Rugby League Competition.

  • The International World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions
    Bond Law Review Volume 23 | Issue 1 Article 3 2011 The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Chris Davies Follow this and additional works at: http://epublications.bond.edu.au/blr This Article is brought to you by the Faculty of Law at ePublications@bond. It has been accepted for inclusion in Bond Law Review by an authorized administrator of ePublications@bond. For more information, please contact Bond University's Repository Coordinator. The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Abstract The recent terminations of the contracts of NRL player, Joel Monaghan and the AFL’s Brendan Fevola, for off-field indiscretions, has highlighted the significance of the bringing the game into disrepute clauses contained in standard player contracts. Tiger Woods’ extra-marital affairs received extensive world wide media attention, and the outcome of this negative coverage was the loss of millions of dollars in sponsorship deals. This indicates that such contracts can be terminated on the basis that a sportsperson’s behaviour was having a negative impact on the sponsor’s image. It is for the same reason that sponsors have put pressure on the governing bodies of team sports to take appropriate action for off-field indiscretions. The Court of Arbitration in D’Arcy v Australian Olympic Committee, has also held that a competitor’s behaviour in an incident where criminal charges were laid, may, in itself be sufficient to bring a sport, or themselves, into disrepute, regardless of whether the competitor is later found guilty or innocent.
