Ltd., at the Office, 53 Herbert Street, Allora, Q. 4362 Issued Weekly as an Advertising Medium to the people of Allora and surrounding Districts. Whitt & Patto Chase Grand Final Glory Allora based ardent rugby league followers Greg Patterson and Luke Whitten are firing up for the National Rugby League climax on Sunday when the Canterbury Bulldogs take on the Melbourne Storm at Sydney’s Telstra Stadium in what should be a bell ringer of a match to decide the 2012 NRL Premiership. The Bulldogs have finished the 2012 season as Minor Premiers, and have edged in as slight favourites in the final NRL encounter of the year. That may be so but knowledge chiseled from a local league career stretching over 23 years has Storm loyalist Luke Whitten happy to be the underdogs. The Melbourne based club have been supported by Luke since they entered the competition in 1995, and “they have been a club to dominate the competition since” according to the Storm Allora Ambassador. A long serving veteran of the front row in Warwick Cowboy’s and Wattles teams over the past decade, Luke sights the big three, fullback Billy Slater, Melbourne Storm stalwart Luke Whitton and Canterbury Bulldogs devotee Greg Patterson tangled recently as the curtain lifted on NRL Grand Final week in Allora, both convinced their respective teams can earn the glory halfback Cooper Cronk and for 2012. hooker Cameron Smith as the players to guide the Storm home to glory, “they are players with the necessary pedigree with big game and International experience”.

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.

The Daily Telegraph said it all in just four words – The Chookies blew it. They must have been watching a different game to me though because they claimed the Warriors did not win it, the Roosters lost it, even claiming you could argue their boys were robbed because Ryan Matterson was pinged for a knock on with only minutes to play, when he did not knock on. Crikey there was so much whinging it could have been us after pretty much any game, critiquing the ref. Fair enough, they certainly had their chances, like when halfback Jackson Hastings went inside for Issac Liu on the last tackle. Who knows what he was thinking? Or when centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall, who showed what a class player he is, broke from the kick off, got to the last defenders and threw the ball into touch.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 28th September 2016 Newsletter #141 It’s the Biggest Week of the year for Rugby League It’s the NRL Grand Final THIS Sunday Kick Off: 9.15PM New Zealand Time Who Wins the 2016 Grand Final? By John Coffey QSM Author of ten rugby league books, Christchurch Press sports writer (44 years), NZ correspondent for Rugby League Week (Australia) and Open Rugby (England) HE AUSTRALIAN airlines will profit from Grand Final weekend, with Melbourne Storm fans heading Tto Sydney for the NRL decider on Sunday, and Sydney Swans supporters going the other way for the AFL showdown on Saturday. Both have been dominant clubs in the last decade, in contrast to their rivals. The Cronulla Sharks are seeking their first title in their 50th season, while the Western Bulldogs have not played a final since 1961. I know nothing about Aussie Rules but I do know I have mixed feelings about whether I want the Sharks or the Storm to take home the trophy. Here are some arguments for and against: Why I want the Storm to win: More Kiwis: With the Bromwich brothers, Kevin Proctor and Tohu Harris, the Storm have a distinct Kiwis connection, not to mention flying wing Suliasi Vunivalu, who went to school in Auckland. Best team all season: The Storm are the most consistent team, as evidenced by their winning the minor premiership being without champion fullback Billy Slater. The coach: Craig Bellamy has been blessed with some superstars but also has the knack of turning journey- men into influential players.
