TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 06 April 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 31 March to Monday 06 April 2009 Player exodus no barrier to top contest: Canterbury rugby league insiders are expecting another high-calibre premiership competition despite the annual off-shore exodus. The standard of club football rose exponentially last year - the only happy by product of the scrapping of the season-long Bartercard Cup national league. The Canterbury Bulls returned to their clubs and brought with them a higher commitment to fitness and professionalism. League revived after four years off the field: Rugby League is back in full swing in Timaru after a four-year absence from the field. The Timaru Warriors Rugby League Club has been able to take part this season, thanks to an increase in players. Coach Kevin McErlain, who is filling in until the club is able to find a permanent coach, said 19 players turned up to the club's training on Thursday night, which was a great result for rugby league in Timaru. Tears and spears every year: call for two tribes to go to war again: TEARY Titan Preston Campbell told his team of brothers that it was the highlight of his career - that it beat a Dally M award, his premiership ring and all those great football things. Wests Tigers' Daine Laurie claimed local kids followed him around the streets of Yamba, asking him to scrawl his signature on their arms, for almost a week after the Dreamtime rugby league game last October. Rugby League International Federation official World Rankings: The Rugby League International Federation today released the game’s official World Rankings following a highly successful 2008 Rugby League World Cup. The rankings are based on a two year cycle of results and take into consideration a number of factors including regular competition within international tournaments. Australia maintains its top spot courtesy of having defeated recently-crowned World Champions New Zealand three times in their past four encounters. League players to be taxed out of Britain: THE annual exodus of stars to the English Super League could be over following a crackdown by Britain's Inland Revenue on tax-free loopholes. The news has Australian club bosses and managers warning players deals in England could be in danger of losing their tax-free lump sums if Super League clubs are slugged with massive bills. League World Cup in Stratford: STRATFORD Primary School students were given a real treat on Tuesday, March 24, when the Rugby League World Cup made its way into their classrooms. With the cup safely in the hands of the New Zealand Rugby League Team - the Kiwis - officials of New Zealand Rugby League decided to take the actual cup on tour, so that New Zealands supporters could get up close and personal with the valuable trophy. Under the watchful gaze of an official, the cup was shown to a number of classes at Stratford Primary as part of a weeklong, Kids 2 Kiwis campaign tour run by New Zealand Rugby League. Source: Stratford Press, 02 April 2009 Rugby league touchdown in US highly unlikely: IN 2004, the Wayne Bennett-coached Kangaroos were almost on the receiving end of one of the greatest upsets in rugby league history. At halftime in a match at Philadelphia's Franklin Field, the United States Tomahawks, made up almost entirely of amateur players, led Australia 24-6. Cash haemorrhaging every time Kiwis play: Rugby league is wary of staging home test matches for their world cup-winning Kiwis because internationals in this country lose money, the NZRL's annual report admits. Dismal reading, the report bluntly concedes the sport has only just dodged bankruptcy, the NZRL having extended their bank overdraft from $300,000 to $500,000 as cashflow dried up. Storm sale hits Mexican stand-off: A CARTEL of wealthy Melbourne businessmen, keen to buy the Storm, could accelerate the move towards an independent commission ruling rugby league, together with expansion of the code into New Zealand. The businessmen, already committed to the game through financial and emotional investments, have placed two conditions on the purchase of the Storm, who are owned by News Ltd, which is also half owner of the NRL. Player exodus no barrier to top contest Canterbury rugby league insiders are expecting another high-calibre premiership competition despite the annual off-shore exodus. The standard of club football rose exponentially last year - the only happy by product of the scrapping of the season-long Bartercard Cup national league. The Canterbury Bulls returned to their clubs and brought with them a higher commitment to fitness and professionalism. A bevy of Bulls are now plying their trade in Australia. But the outbound traffic has been offset in part by the return of former Bulls backrower Corey Lawrie from two professional seasons with the Warriors and English club Doncaster. Lawrie will captain the Hornby Panthers where he will be joined by his brother, Jeremy, after his one-season stint with the Halswell Hornets. Some clubs have been hard hit by defections. Kaiapoi Bulldogs coach Stu Mee said he had lost 14 of the 17 players he led to the 2007 premiership title. Brent Stuart, the Canterbury Bulls coach who turned the Papanui Tigers from wooden spooners to grand finalists, has "only four or five" players from his 2008 team in today's starting lineup against Celebration. The Linwood Keas, the reigning premiers, have lost Bulls stars Johnny Aranga and Chris Bamford to Queensland Cup clubs. Emslie has switched Bulls stand-off half Andrew Auimatagi to the second row in a pack which still boasts Bulls Kane Ferris and Nathan Sherlock and seasoned prop Teni Tuli. Papanui has lost the three Hurrell brothers to Australia, Bulls utility Mikaere October and prop Olly Needham have taken jobs out of town, veteran Kreskin David has retired and playmaker Duane Wineti will also be missing. Keegan Taie, Andre October and Geoff Ingi are left to provide experience. Scott Nixon has switched from scrum-half to coach at Hornby, which will be led by Corey Lawrie and Bulls captain Jonny Limmer. Sam Wallace and Leo To'omalatai provide some starch in the pack with Craig Smith still a force in the centres. Celebration has also scored some coaching expertise in ex-Warrior Shane Endacott, who will work with Dean Te Hae. The pair have already won the pre-season knockout competition and have bolstered their backline with centre Richard Hanson (from Hornby) and goalkicking half Simon Mounga (Riccarton). The Riccarton Knights have been boosted by the return of former Bulls prop Vince Whare and scrum-half Hamish Barclay. Long-serving coach Brent Ringdahl lost one Mounga brother (Simon) to the Lions but still has the other (Tonga) at centre. The Halswell Hornets' biggest capture is former Bulls coach and Kiwis assistant Phil Prescott. He has signed halfback Izic Placid from Papanui to help guide a young backline and will rely heavily on the experience of Bulls stalwarts Shane Beyers, Ross Martin and Joe Pombo. Kaiapoi will sorely miss their three best forwards, long-time captain Kyle Reuben and former Bulls Ross Turi and Blake Milner. They will rely on former Bulls half Josh Reuben and Rainer McKenzie to guide the side in a rebuilding season. Mark Sumner replaces long-serving Aranui Eagles John Rangihuna, who has moved to Australia. But with powerful pair Peter Asi and Alex Timo still in the pack, the Eagles cannot be taken lightly. (Source: Tony Smith, The Press, 04 April 2009) League revived after four years off the field Rugby League is back in full swing in Timaru after a four-year absence from the field. The Timaru Warriors Rugby League Club has been able to take part this season, thanks to an increase in players. Coach Kevin McErlain, who is filling in until the club is able to find a permanent coach, said 19 players turned up to the club's training on Thursday night, which was a great result for rugby league in Timaru. The first game of the season will be played against Riccarton in Christchurch at Crosbie Park today, starting at 2.45pm. McErlain said he had an inexperienced team but the players were keen and looking forward to their first game. He said it would be the first taste of rugby league for most of the players. "Judging by their pre-season form, they are one of the best teams we have had in a while," he said. The team trains at Ashbury Park in Timaru on Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 6pm. The club is still looking for new players and a permanent coach. Contact club president James Blissett on 027683119. (Source: The Timaru Herald, 04 April 2009) Tears and spears every year: call for two tribes to go to war again TEARY Titan Preston Campbell told his team of brothers that it was the highlight of his career - that it beat a Dally M award, his premiership ring and all those great football things. Wests Tigers' Daine Laurie claimed local kids followed him around the streets of Yamba, asking him to scrawl his signature on their arms, for almost a week after the Dreamtime rugby league game last October. It was an event indigenous footballers old and young, never expected. Playing in a team of footballers of Aboriginal descent against a New Zealand Maori team had been unimaginable for Campbell and Laurie before last year. "No way, no way. I never thought it would happen," Laurie said. "[Aboriginal] knock-out, that's as far enough as I'd go with the group back up home.

  • 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.

    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.

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.

  • Gender Dynamics on Boards of National Sport Organisations in Australia
    Gender dynamics on boards of National Sport Organisations in Australia Johanna A. Adriaanse A thesis submitted to the University of Sydney in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2012 To my mother, Tineke Adriaanse-Schotman i DECLARATION I, Johanna Adriaanse, declare that the work contained in this thesis has not been submitted for a degree at any other institution and that the thesis is the original work of the candidate except where sources are acknowledged. Date: 27 August 2012 ii SYNOPSIS Despite stunning progress on the sport field in the past 100 years, women’s representation off the field remains a serious challenge. While sport participation rates for women have grown exponentially, data on the Sydney Scoreboard indicate that women remain markedly under- represented on sport boards globally including in Australia. A significant body of research has emerged to explain women’s under-representation in sport governance. The majority of studies have investigated the gender distribution of the board’s composition and related issues such as factors that inhibit women’s participation in sport governance. Few studies have examined the underlying gender dynamics on sport boards once women have gained a seat at the boardroom table, yet this line of investigation may disclose important reasons for the lack of gender equality on sport boards. The aim of the present study was to examine how gender works on boards of National Sport Organisations (NSOs) in Australia with the following research questions: 1. What are the gender relations that characterise the composition and operation of sport boards in NSOs in Australia in terms of a ‘gender regimes’ approach, that is, one that draws on categories associated with the gendered organisation of production, power/authority, emotional attachment and symbolic relations? 2.

Waatea News reports Rob Hewitt has taken over the reins of the Taranaki Rugby League Academy. The former navy diver says sport is a way to get students thinking about their futures and to learn how to be successful on and off the field. However, he says, he was nervous at the start and "wanted out" two weeks ago. But now he's settled in. Hewitt will also continue his work as an ambassador for Water Safety New Zealand. Source: Radio New Zealand, 23 February 2009 Mannering keeps captain ambitions private: SIMON Mannering is refusing to buy into suggestions linking him to the future captaincy of the Warriors. Mannering's decision as revealed in last week's Sunday News to re-sign with the club despite the likelihood of making more money overseas, has prompted speculation that the loyal utility is a "captain in the making". His leadership potential is clear with Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney just last week heaping praise on him. Where did all the NZRL's money go?: Like any gambler, rugby league played the pokies, and at first, they got a few decent payouts. Encouraged, they hit the button one more time, and lost the lot. The unholy pairing of pubs and poker machines is the big reason rugby league found itself in such deep trouble that Sparc thumped in and demanded last week's damning Anderson Report, which called those sordid dealings a "sorry chapter" in the game's history, and declared: "This matter should now be regarded as a lesson learnt, and the sport should move on." Bennett tipped to return as Kangaroos coach after leaving Kiwis: WAYNE BENNETT'S odds of taking over as Kangaroos coach have been slashed after he stepped down yesterday from his role with New Zealand.
