Ruben Wiki with youngsters at the Otago Roots Camp in 2011 SOUTHERN ZONE 2011 saw the inception of a South Island District Competition for senior representa- tive teams which was won by the Canterbury A team. The re-emergence of teams from Tasman (the Titans) and Otago (the Whalers) was particularly satisfying. This competition will be run again in 2012. In addition, a South Island District Tournament will also be held in July 2012 for 15 and 17 years old teams. At a district level it has been heartening to see Rugby League back in Tasman and Otago. In 2012 it looks likely that there will be 6 teams in the Dunedin and 7 teams in the Tasman competitions. 18 months ago there were none. Great also to see Hokitika fielding teams on the Coast and for Southland to be looking at 7 teams in 2012 after having only 4 in 2009. A lot of work is being done in schools across the mainland and there is a real enthusiasm for the game.

    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.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 30th December 2016 Newsletter #150 Shaun Makes a Promise By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan Not much to report, whinge on, make up lies about, but I will say this, for a bloke who cops endless criticism, Shaun Johnson does some pretty cool stuff. Our halfback was to appear at the first day of a three-day festival in quake-hit Kaikoura, but it had to be postponed because of high winds that kept him and his partner, Silver Fern Kayla Cullen, stranded in Christchurch. Johnson said they were disappointed and immediately promised he and Kayla would commit to a new date, probably in January. Not bad for a guy who is –according to arseholes – up himself. And lots has been written about the Panthers not returning to Christchurch, not least in this very newsletter. (See below) The organisers talked about being terribly disappointed, the usual stuff. It turns out that TV might have had a big part in the decision to keep the Panthers home game against the Vodafone Warriors in Aussie. “The television schedule only left us options that did not work for the local organising team or for the Pan- thers, so we are looking at options for the following years,” event organiser Justin Wallace said. Christchurch will be, rightly, a bit miffed. It is a blow for the fans, the council which supported this year’s game, sponsors, hotels, the airports, bars....and most of all, league lovers in the South Island.
