Salford Red Devils Media Day 2018 Sir Peter Leitch Club Newsletter Page 2 By Shane Hurndell Hawke’s Bay Today Sports Reporter AWESOME GESTURE FROM ABs CAPTAIN The Rugby Championship - New Zealand All Blacks Captains Run Photo www.photosport.nz READ OP MARKS to the Warriors coaching staff for inviting All Blacks captain Kieran Read to address the Tteam during their pre-season camp in Papamoa last week. And an equal amount of marks go to Read for accepting too. It’s no secret the mental side of the Warriors game left a lot to be desired in 2017. There were far too many second half meltdowns on their way to their 13th placing with seven wins from 24 games. Under Read’s captaincy and also when he was vice captain to Richie McCaw there have been numer- ous occasions of the All Blacks having to fight back or stay ahead in tight battles to secure victory and the mental fortitude displayed in these encounters has been outstanding. A long-time Warriors fan, Read, said he believed the tools to use mental strength to cope with pressure was transferable across sporting codes. “All elite level sport, it comes down to the mental side and that’s what separates the really top and those who sit just under that. “We do pretty well at the All Blacks and speaking to a few of the boys here, they’re pretty keen to get a little bit of inside knowledge and if that can rub off on them, that’d be great,” Read told media during the visit. It will be interesting to gauge the impact of Read’s visit when the Warriors NRL campaign begins in March. Just as big a concern as the Warriors second half meltdowns last year were the number of occasions they allowed opposing teams to establish big leads and there was little in the way of an acceptable fight back. Should the going gets tough for the Warriors this season they only need to think back to the November 25 World Cup semifinal at their home ground, Mount Smart Stadium, between England and Tonga when Tonga almost pulled off the most memorable comebacks in World Cup history when losing 20-18 after trailing 20-0 with eight minutes remaining. I was thrilled to hear of Read’s visit and I hope there can be more cases of the All Blacks helping out the Warriors as well as the Kiwis in future. News of Read’s visit was the start of a memorable weekend of sport in Hawke’s Bay.

Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

  • 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.

Wales test in June of 2010 Coast at Otorohanga on 28 September 1972. Rest in Peace, Sir Colin Meads By Sir Peter Leitch T WAS with great sadness on Sunday morning that I got a phone call from Sir Colin Meads’ family to say Ithat he had passed away. We all know Sir Colin (Pine Tree) was a famous All Black - number 583 - who made 55 test appearances for the All Blacks, and went on to be captain. He also played 139 games for King Country, and who knows how many for his beloved local team Waitete. We all also know what a great man he was, but what a lot of people don't know, is the great charity work he has done over many years. We had been mates for more years than I care to remember, and I witnessed many charity events he did, some of them even alongside me. He did some TV commercials too, and donated the money to charity. One example of a charity he supported was IHC, where he was involved for more than 40 years. There is nothing I can add to everything that is being said, and I don’t want to, because I am feeling the great loss of a close and dear friend.
