Spread the Word and Let's Fill Mt Smart! 17 OCT 2014 #46 This Saturday at Mt Smart our aim is to beat the Aussies And to show Mt Smart is the home of rugby league NOT NORTH HARBOUR LET’S FILL MT SMART TO SHOW THE COUNCIL WHERE WE WANT TO STAY 7pm kick off Junior Kiwis v Junior Kangaroos 5pm PIRTEK NZRL NATIONAL PREMIERSHIP FINAL Akarana Falcons v Counties Manuaku Stingrays Entrance Make a big banner and share in $ 5 adults, lots of prizes. Winning banner children 12 years gets four 2015 season tickets and under to the Vodafone Warriors. FREE SPREAD THE WORD AND LET’S FILL MT SMART! If ever there was a great chance for rugby league fans to show Auckland City we love Mt Smart it comes this Saturday when the Junior Kiwis play Australia at 7pm. You can talk the talk but at some stage you have to walk the walk, and that stage is Saturday. And it will only cost league fans: $5 – with Under 12s free As you know there are all sorts of plans to move the Vodafone Warriors, and they all come down to dollars. You can take fl ower boxes for a few million in Queen St, and you can take millions for offi ces for people who can’t process a building application without dynamite strapped to their backsides, and you can take millions of dollars for any other hare-brained scheme the council comes up with. But few chances to show the council how much us poor league fans love Mt Smart come up. There has been talk of a march down Queen St but they are a dime a dozen, and this Saturday gives us the chance to do something totally different. We can get a good crowd out for the Junior Kiwis as well as show the council our support for Mt Smart. It is a two-pronged attack, and let’s face it, you don’t normally get a great crowd for the Juniors, so if we can get good numbers we will really make a statement. I was on my sickbed at Waiheke when I rang Vodafone Warriors chairman Bill Wavish and he thought it was a bloody good idea. Within fi ve minutes I had an email from him that he had sent to Wayne Scurrah our outgoing CEO, outlining an action plan. I have to say, Bill s a superb chairman, and you can not ask for more. So I’m calling on as many of you as possible to get along on Saturday night. I always reckon if we are playing Aussie at anything, it is time for real fans to turn out, and remember: $5 – with Under 12s free At that price we can all afford to contribute to making the atmosphere at Mt Smart electric. Imagine what it would be like rattling around at Eden Park or dragging yourself to Albany. And there is also the chance to see the fi nal of the Pirtek NZRL National Premiership at 5pm. Make the best banner on night and you can win four season passes to the Vodafone Warriors next season, and if that is not enough to inspire you to get along and have a go, then I don’t know what is. There are some awesome players lining up for Australia, with Joe Ofahengaue from the Broncos in the team. You might recognise the name because he is the nephew of 1991 Wallaby World Cup winner Willie, who lived in Auckland and was arguably the most The damaging ball runner in Wallaby history. (See item in this Newsletter)There are plenty of chances to see the Junior Kiwis this week, with a full opposed training at Mt Smart on Wednesday at 6.30pm, and a captain’s Junior run at Mt Smart at 10.30am on Friday. Come on league fans, get along to Mt Kiwi Smart and support the Junior Kiwis against Australia, and much more importantly, support league against Auckland City and Team the dumb-ass plan to ship us out to Albany.

  • Two Kiwis on Their Way out of NRL: Kiwis Coach Stephen Kearney Is Philosophical About Two Kiwis Leaving the NRL to Pick up More Money in England
    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 18 May 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 12 April to Monday 18 May 2009 They are happy helping others: One helps out people from the other side of the world, one mentors the troubled kids at her league club, and another just looks after his mum. What the five winners of this year's Young Community Leaders Awards have in common, though, is a dedication to social work, rather than their social lives. Emma Daken, Teresa Edge, Henare Mihaere, Fofo Molia and Libby Tuite were chosen from nearly 60 nominees to receive the awards, which recognised Wellingtonians under the age of 25 working in the not-for- profit sector, either as a volunteer or in a paid position. Anzac test to stay - and it'll be in Brisbane: Despite the Kiwis' dire results in mid-year tests across the Tasman, the Anzac league test is likely to survive and remain in Brisbane because the New Zealand Rugby League cannot afford to host the game. NZRL chairman Ray Haffenden admits there are conflicting views about the test's value after New Zealand's run of eight successive defeats but has given it his backing and said the league cannot afford to scrap the game, nor host it. No sign of league World Cup cash: Six months since the World Cup final, the much-trumpeted tournament profit apparently still sits in a Rugby League International Federation bank account. New Zealand has not been told what the final profit is, or how it will be distributed and RLIF boss Colin Love couldn't be reached last night.

They came home looking somewhat tired after an overnight plane trip, but saying they had a great experience and have made fast friends with students from the other schools with whom they travelled. I’d like to thank Ms Atzarakis for accompanying them on the trip and being prepared to spend 6 weeks away from her family to care for our students. She tells me if was a wonderful experience and well worth it. Welcome back! Recently our college took part in an International Study of City Youth. This is a major longitudinal study of Year 10 students in cities around the world to find out more about student journeys through school into further study, work and life beyond school.

I nearly always think about him when the Bulldogs are set to take on Parramatta. There isn’t a year goes I by when I don’t have at least one conversation about this player who, on one fateful September day in 1998, saw his career come to an end. He set a new benchmark for horrid individual performances on a rugby league fi eld. Now, to give Carige’s performance context, it is important to understand the simmering hatred between Canterbury and Parramatta at the time. The Bulldogs and Eels were wild rivals in the 1980s but that was an enmity built out of style and the pursuit of superiority rather than any underlying natural disposition of dislike between the two outfi ts. These days, the rivalry remains strong but it is a very one-sided deal with little respect given to the Eels by the Bulldogs faithful. But, in the 1990s, the feud was hot – the hottest feud in the game.
