  • 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.

By David Kemeys T WAS not the Manu Vatuvei comeback, the battering of the Broncos or even Konrad Hurrell set to debut Ifor the Titans that had my attention last week. Instead it was another controversy, and not one for a change involving the Warriors. The prospect that matches in the NRL have been fixed is appalling. The fact it involves Manly is no surprise- but I say that only because I hate the Sea Eagles more than any other club. Don’t know why, just do. And it turns out, having flogged the Broncos, there is pretty much nothing to moan about. Throw into the mix the fact we have named an unchanged side, and I will confess to being very upset the Vodafone Warriors have not left a festering soar to pick at. I was though also pretty unimpressed when Souths prop Nathan Brown gave one-time Warrior, and one, in my humble view who we let get away, Agnatius Paasi, one in the goollies.

The competition will add a layer to our development programme, and an important one. The tournament will feature under-16 and 18 teams and will be played in Auckland from January 25-28.

Lining up will be New Zealand Maori, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji NZ, Cook Islands and Auckland Niue, with all the teams being hosted by the New Zealand Maori Rugby League, in association with the Warriors. Warriors recruitment and development manager Tony Iro said the cup, and the club's other initiatives, give a valuable pathway. We all know the dominance of Pasifika players on the league front, with top players making their way into the NRL, and there is zero reason to believe that is going to be any different any time soon. “If young players are serious about their goals then they need to think about off-season training and the Pasi- fika Youth Cup provides a carrot for them to push hard during the preseason,” Iro said.

The last second buzzer-beater that nailed their Tfourth ABL title was one of the best pieces of sporting theatre I have seen in a long time. The Cairns Taipans went into the finals series as the favourites, but the Breakers did what few expected and beat them on their home court in game one, meaning they could wrap it up in Auckland with a second win in the three game series. But Cairns fought hard and it was not until the final second that the winning shot went up, and I would defy anyone to name a more thrilling game of late. If you were watching, you must have been on the edge of your seat. It was utterly unbelievable. The NZ Breakers Take Out Their 4th ANBL Title in 5 years By John Deaker HE NZ Breakers beat the Cairns Taipans 83-81 on Sunday night to seal their 4th ANBL title in 5 years - Tand the dramatic style with which they pulled off their latest Championship victory meant they were able to receive the sort of plaudits they deserve. With Cricket’s World Cup taking centre-stage and the Warriors’ season kicking off at the weekend there was a chance the Breakers’ moment of glory might not get the attention it deserved.
