A closer look at other left his role as executive chairman of Super League at the sports and their distress on the field and off, as reported start of March, a job he filled for almost three years. His particularly in The Times on Wednesday, might bring us passion for rugby league has always been clear and I thank back to reality and self-pride in our game and in Super him for his hard work and commitment to the success of League.

Long may time with their families Down Under. I look forward to seeing his time continue working within rugby league and for them both back on the field very soon. Wigan. Finally, I would like to welcome our friends from Wakefield, Last week’s start was a gritty beginning to the new season Michael Carter and John Minards, to our unusual ‘home with a tight Wigan win against local rivals, Leigh Centurions. venue’ of the Totally Wicked Stadium for what should be Round 1 is always a great occasion but still strange to see another tough game. no spectators in the stands.

WARRIOR - 05 ADRIAN LAM Looking back on the Leigh game, how do you reflect on it for five months plus. It’s sad news for the club, Jai and his now? family and we’ve just got to make sure we get around him and Obviously, we all wanted to play well, and I guess every club help him through this process. It’ll go fast and he’ll be back in Super League wants that first round to be a great soon enough. performance but the reality of it is – it hardly ever happens. I thought we were very patchy throughout the whole game. We Have you got more options this week? Does Jackson made a lot of errors compounded with the fact we had to do a Hastings come back into the mix? fair bit of defence. We put ourselves under pressure at the Yes, we will take him into consideration. He’s ready to go. He start of the game, but the great part about it and what makes adds a different dimension to us. Wakefield are a good side me most proud about the performance is that we found a way and we’ve got our hands full, so the more senior players to win throughout all of those circumstances. coming back into our team the better. Do you have to allow for players being out of position and Another boost on the horizon with Bevan French being getting used to that, which was further compounded with back in the country… the loss of Jai Field? It’s the same process with Bevan as it was with Jackson. We Yes, that’s exactly what happens. When you’re playing have to make sure he fits back in training-wise and is back someone out of position and there were three or four players around the team for a certain amount of time. We have to out of position themselves and then you lose a winger – it’s make sure he is ready to play welfare-wise, get all his testing difficult for the whole team. It turns your substitutions into done and then he’ll be good to go. It’s great he’s back in the chaos, and it takes a little while to get it right.

WARRIOR - 07 Editor’s Comment. PROGRAMME EDITOR DAVE KUZIO IS DELIGHTED TO BE BACK AND EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT A FAN OF CHOPPING AND CHANGING THE RULES, HE BELIEVES THERE SHOULD BE ONE MAJOR ALTERATION TO THIS GREAT GAME. First of all, how good is it to be back? I won’t dwell on the I think the rule should be changed that both teams get a point final game of last season, as I know I am not the only for taking the game to Golden Point and then an extra point is person associated with this great club to have not given to the winner.

    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.

    GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A sustainable urban mobility plan for the future February 2017 2 GREATER MANCHESTER TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2040 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Our vision 5 3 Critical transport challenges 6 4 Keeping it customer-focussed 10 5 From local neighbourhoods to global markets 13 6 Making it happen 22 3 1 Introduction 1. Greater Manchester is changing. Not only is it growing, both in terms of population and economy, it is also on a path towards significant devolution of powers and funding from central Government, supported by a directly- elected mayor. It is in this context of change that we are developing our 2040 Transport Strategy. 2. The aim is to establish a fully integrated, high capacity transport system for Greater Manchester, with travelling customers at its heart. 3. Transport is crucial in supporting Greater Manchester’s ambitious plans – growth will need and be driven by new connectivity. This is true on both a local and pan-northern level; Greater Manchester has a fundamental role to play at the heart of a successful Northern Powerhouse. 4. Why 2040? The opportunities offered by devolution and greater local determination allow us to take a much bolder and longer-term view of our transport needs. We want to take this opportunity to ensure that we can sustain the success of Greater Manchester for generations to come. 5. Our 2040 Vision for Transport, which we consulted on in 2015, set the scene for the start of a radical, and ambitious, new approach to planning our transport system in support of long-term needs and aspirations.
