TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 25 November 2008 RE: Media Summary Wednesday 26 N TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 25 November 2008 RE: Media Summary Wednesday 26 November to Monday 01 December 2008 Cup stars on show in Hamilton: Waikato Stadium is set to showcase as many as nine of NZ's World Cup- winning players plus head coach Stephen Kearney when the Warriors and the Melbourne Storm clash in an NRL pre-season trial in Hamilton on February 12 next year. Hamilton City Council announced it had secured the game just days after the Kiwis won the World Cup for the first time by stunning Australia 34-20 at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium. With so many of the World Cup players involved in the preseason trial, it looks set to be a tough re-match when the two trans-Tasman teams meet. Rugby league to kick off anti-homophobia campaign: As one of the world's toughest sports, rugby league is more usually associated with northern machismo and cauliflower ears than gay rights. But the Rugby Football League (RFL) has just become the first national governing body of a major sport to sign up to Stonewall's campaign against homophobia. The sport has joined the group's diversity champions programme, which promotes lesbian, gay and bisexual equality. Endacott had good vibrations about Kiwis: A WEEK with the Kiwis in Palmerston North on the eve of the World Cup was enough to give former national coach Frank Endacott a feeling "something special" was in the offing. Endacott was a technical adviser for the All Golds ahead of their hit-out with the New Zealand Maori last month. Most members of the Kiwis World Cup squad took part in the match, which doubled as a farewell for retiring Warriors Ruben Wiki and Logan Swann. And Endacott says a week with the Kiwis was enough for him to realise that something big was going to happen at the World Cup. Kiwis won't be honoured by NZRL: THE world-beating Kiwis could go without honour from their own league bosses. Despite enjoying the greatest victory in NZ league history our Kiwis heroes are set to miss out on a gong from the NZRL, which has canned its annual awards ceremony. Sky TV bosses wanted to hold the ceremony next month but the NZRL favoured a February date. Swann calls it a day on league career: THE stellar league career of legendary Warrior and 29-test Kiwi Logan Swann has come to an end, Sunday News can reveal. Despite recent negotiations with Super League side Celtic Crusaders, Swann who called time on his tenure with the Warriors this season has decided to retire from rugby league. At 33 years old, the versatile second-rower spent a number of weeks deliberating before deciding last week to hang his boots up for good. Yep, Ricky, we stitched you up: FORMER NZRL chairman Andrew Chalmers last night told Australian coach Ricky Stuart: "Yes, Ricky, you were stitched up." Unquestionably, New Zealand won the world cup on the field with their tremendous performance last Saturday night, but, for once, it appears they may also have out- manoeuvred the Australians in the boardroom. The Sydney Morning Herald claimed part of Stuart's post- match complaint was that tournament organisers conspired to make it difficult for his team. Meng delighted with Kiwi victory: The Kiwi team's win was sensational. Gisborne Tairawhiti Rugby League is ecstatic with their success. As the local league chairperson, I hope this will attract more young people to our rugby league season. We have a range of competition for girls, boys, juniors, women and senior men being organised for the coming season. Stuart apologises over World Cup blow up: Australian coach Ricky Stuart has belatedly apologised for his "offensive" behaviour toward rugby league World Cup officials at the weekend. Stuart's manager John Fordham issued a statement on Friday saying the coach sent separate apologies on Thursday to World Cup final referee Ashley Klein and British referees official Stuart Cummings for his comments in a Brisbane hotel on Sunday. Steve Deane: Great whingeing land: It took a while, but when the Kiwis were about three-quarters of the way around their Suncorp Stadium victory lap after Saturday night's win in the league World Cup final, Aussie supercoach Wayne Bennett was finally cajoled into holding the cup aloft. "That'll be your back page photo tomorrow," a mate joked as the photographers clicked away at a rare half-smile from the taciturn guru. "Benney's Cup! That's the way the Aussies will play it," we laughed, assuming the dethroned league kings would know how to put a positive spin on one of their worst-ever night. How wrong we were. Rugby league faces a 'scrap for cash': New Zealand has won its first rugby league World Cup, but don't expect the cash to flow as freely as the champagne. The Kiwis' shock defeat of Australia grabbed the nation's attention. Interest is now centering on how the troubled sport can capitalise on its time in the sun. It is an unusual situation - world champions in a sport whose national body, the New Zealand Rugby League, is under a Sport and Recreation New Zealand-instigated review of its operations. Vatuvei, Marshall on Golden Boot shortlist: World Cup-winning Kiwis Manu Vatuvei and Benji Marshall are on a shortlist of eight for the Golden Boot, rugby league's most prestigious player award. The winner will be named in Sydney on Saturday. Vatuvei, 22, and standoff Marshall, 23, made major contributions to New Zealand's historic 34-20 World Cup final win over Australia in Brisbane last Saturday. League youngster's day to remember: Like most New Zealand rugby league supporters, former Marlborough boy Tyrone Gemmell-Poynter is unlikely to ever forget Saturday, November 22, 2008. That's the day the eight year old, now resident in Brisbane, played in a curtainraiser to New Zealand's most famous rugby league win, the Kiwis' 34-20 World Cup final triumph over Australia at Suncorp Stadium, in Brisbane.Turning out for the Logan Brothers team, a representative junior team from Brisbane, Gemmell- Poynter featured in his team's victories in both their matches. With World Cup sorted, Blair now seeks a rest: A packed Stadium Australia, the weight of New Zealand on his shoulders and the euphoria of being part of a team that's No 1 in the world - Northlander Adam Blair is still coming down from his rugby league World Cup high, but is now looking forward to a well-earned rest. The former Whangarei Boys High School student was one of the stars in the Kiwis' World Cup campaign, which culminated in a win over Australia in the final last Saturday in Sydney. Blair, 22, was back in his adopted city, Melbourne, on Tuesday night after a whirlwind few days following the triumph. Aussies slow to give Kiwis their gold: Never trust those Aussies. Just ask Shaan Waru and the fellow Hawke's Bay members of the world championship-winning New Zealand women's rugby league team - Maia Tua-Davidson and Kristina Sue - who returned home this week. They never got their winners medals immediately after their 34-0 win against Australia in the Brisbane-hosted final earlier this month. "The rumour was they had already been engraved with Australia on them ... but we got them eventually," said Waru. Super League's John Ribot a candidate for ARL board: After leading Super League into the ugliest period in the game's 100 year history, many thought rugby league would never again see or hear from John Ribot. He was a despised by rugby league's establishment, who cheered loudest when Ribot became a sporting administrator with the rival code of soccer. Well, guess who's back. The man who cost the Australian Rugby League $500 million during the ill-fated fight against Super League is a shock candidate for a position on the ARL board. Spotlight on ARL with fears of foregone conclusion over Stuart: THE Australian Rugby League's handling of Ricky Stuart's World Cup meltdown has become a test of credibility for the much-maligned organisation after it emerged yesterday the national coach has been fined $50,000 over the past six years for attacks on officialdom while on club duties. Stuart's litany of tirades against referees also includes a reprimand in 2005 when he criticised Paul Simpkins's decision to send off then-Sydney Roosters prop Adrian Morley, a ruling he described as "amateurish" and "disgraceful". Roos didn't dodge Cup ceremony: THE Australian Rugby League yesterday attempted to explain why the beaten Kangaroos shunned a post-match function and failed to stay on the field after their World Cup loss to New Zealand to accept their runners-up medals on Saturday night. The Australian team has come under fire in recent days from some circles, including a number of Kiwi league identities accusing them of poor sportsmanship. World Cup-winning New Zealanders to inspire Black Caps: New Zealand paceman Chris Martin has urged the Black Caps to draw from the inspirational play book that underpinned the Kiwis' World Cup heist against the Kangaroos. Stephen Kearney's Kiwis ended Australia's Rugby League World Cup domination, stretching back to 1975, with a 34-20 triumph in Brisbane on Saturday. Martin, 33, hopes his side can follow the giant- killing lead of its league cousins against Ricky Ponting's men in the second Test, starting tomorrow at Adelaide Oval. Ricky Stuart facing fine: BITTER Kangaroos coach Ricky Stuart faces disciplinary action after being accused of abusing referee Ashley Klein and "physically and aggressively intimidating" him and a top England official as they were checking out of their hotel the day after New Zealand's shock win in the tournament final.

Photo: www.photosport.co.nz. reckon I might have to knock over the next person who dismisses the 10 players too, including Jarred Waerea Hargreaves, Sam Moa, Ben Matulino, Kiwis' outstanding 30-12 win over the Kangaroos with the comment about Sam McKendry, Elijah Taylor, Konrad Hurrell, Ben Henry, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, I how many top players the Aussies had out. Kirisome Auva'a and Sam Kasiano, so it is not we were not disadvantaged too. Let me be clear, the win was one of the best performances I have ever seen from a Kiwis It was truly magnifi cent performance and one I thoroughly enjoyed. Every player was great, outfi t, and we were great from the start. but perhaps Shaun Johnson led the way with an outstanding game, featuring terrifi c I cannot recall seeing the Aussies so fl ustered, dropping the amount of ball they did, and kicking and a wonderful solo try. I was privileged enough to watch it in Brisbane with some legends of Australian rugby The other player who stood out to me was JasonTaumalolo, the North Queensland league, and 99 percent of them agreed that the reason they were having so much trouble Cowboy. His commitment could not have been questioned, and he tackled fi ercely and was because the Kiwis were on fi re.

  • 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.

  • NRL Reconciliation Action Plan
    Preston Campb ell, “King of the Kids”, in Pormpuraaw , North Queensland NRL Reconciliation Action Plan Message from the Chief Executive Officers Rugby League is a sport for everyone and from its earliest days it has developed a proud association with Indigenous athletes. George Green is recognised as the first Indigenous rugby league player, beginning his career with Eastern Suburbs in 1909. He would become the first in a line of talented Indigenous athletes that has 2 3 carried on for generations. As League enters its Centenary year there can be no doubting the contribution that has been made by champions such as Arthur Beetson, Eric Simms, Larry Corowa, Steve Renouf, Nathan Blacklock, Mal Meninga and Anthony Mundine to name just a few. Today the likes of Matty Bowen, Johnathan Thurston and Greg Inglis are among the 11% of NRL players who proudly boast Indigenous heritage. A sense of the opportunities created through Rugby League is underlined when one considers that Indigenous Australians account for under 3% of Australia’s wider population. 1 4 This Reconciliation Action Plan is a formal recognition of the support that is extended to Indigenous communities by NRL clubs and players and the various arms of the game . It will be monitored by a newly established Reconciliation Action Plan Management Group and will be publicly reported on an annual basis. As well as providing direct material assistance to Indigenous communities, the game’s peak bodies are working in partnership with Reconciliation Australia to keep this RAP alive and ensure it assists in the wider goal of building understanding and positive relationships 5 6 between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, in the spirit of reconciliation.

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.
