Next week will see the Wainuiomata whilst the last spot in the top 4 is set to be a battle between the semi-final eliminations with the winners heading for the Grand Final on Vikings and the Hunters who are drawn to play in the last match of regular Sunday 12th July. season. Get out and support your teams this weekend and good luck to everyone. Te Aroha are sitting on top with a 2 points buffer and should stay there over the next 2 weeks with games against Petone and St George but they finish with Jason Hemson Wainuiomata and Randwick with the latter match possibly deciding the Mulqueen Shield. For Randwick their run home is the Hunters, Petone, Vikings and Te Aroha Masters draw for Saturday whilst Wainuiomata face Upper Hutt, Vikings, Te Aroha and St George. The youthful Vikings look to have the hardest run home with St George, Masters Sat 20th June Cannons Wainuiomata, Randwick and University coming up. Creek The University Hunters however will not be able to look too far ahead as the St George v Wainuiomata 1pm Vikings are capable of beating those above them and the Upper Hutt match is Whiti Te Ra v Vikings 2pm one that could be crucial in the final mix with the Tigers continual improvement. Marlins 38ers v Petone 2pm With the prize of a Grand Final at Westpac Stadium the competition is set to fire up in the last rounds. While we congratulate Danny Levi on his NRL debut I thought it timely to have a look at the NRL team lists for this round just to remind us of the local talent on display in the world’s best rugby league competition. Broncos- Jordan Kahu; Knights- Joe Tapine, Danny Levi; Warriors- Ben Matulino, Simon Mannering, Charlie Gubb; Raiders- Jordan Rapana; Sharks- Sam Tagatese; Titans- Matt Robinson; Tigers- Ava Seumanufagai; Panthers- Sika Manu; Storm- Nelson Asofa-Solomona. When you also look at the reserve grade sides and injury lists we have Raiders- Jeremy Hawkins; Panthers- Tupou Sopoaga, Sione Katoa; Eels- Bureta Faraimo; Manly Uiti Baker; Dogs- Renouf To’omaga. I think it is fair to say we should be very proud of all these boys and their achievements. And as we reflect on those boys our next crop of hopefuls will be heading to Rotorua in July for the NZRL 16s & 18s camp.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 28 October 2008 RE: Media Summary Wednesday 29 October to Monday 03 November 2008 Slater takes place among the greats: AUSTRALIA 52 ENGLAND 4. Billy Slater last night elevated himself into the pantheon of great Australian fullbacks with a blistering attacking performance that left his coach and Kangaroos legend Ricky Stuart grasping for adjectives. Along with Storm teammate and fellow three-try hero Greg Inglis, Slater turned on a once-in-a-season performance to shred England to pieces and leave any challenge to Australia's superiority in tatters. It also came just six days after the birth of his first child, a baby girl named Tyla Rose. Kiwis angry at grapple tackle: The Kiwis are fuming a dangerous grapple tackle on wing Sam Perrett went unpunished in last night's World Cup rugby league match but say they won't take the issue further. Wing Sam Perrett was left lying motionless after the second tackle of the match at Skilled Park, thanks to giant Papua New Guinea prop Makali Aizue. Replays clearly showed Aizue, the Kumuls' cult hero who plays for English club Hull KR, wrapping his arm around Perrett's neck and twisting it. Kiwis flog Kumuls: New Zealand 48 Papua New Guinea NG 6. A possible hamstring injury to Kiwis dynamo Benji Marshall threatened to overshadow his side's big win over Papua New Guinea at Skilled Park last night. Arguably the last superstar left in Stephen Kearney's squad, in the absence of show-stoppers like Roy Asotasi, Frank Pritchard and Sonny Bill Williams, Marshall is widely considered the Kiwis' great white hope.

  • 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.

    THE ACTION KICKS OFF THIS SATURDAY NIGHT Sir Peter Leitch Club Newsletter RLWC 2017 24th October 2017 It’s 4 days until the Kiwis play # their first game of the 2017 RLWC 193 Back The Kiwis By Enjoying Lunch By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan E ARE only days from the kick-off of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, with Australia and England W– in what will be a hell of a match - doing the honours on Friday night. Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 5th September 2018 Newsletter #233 Congratulations to the Vodafone Warriors on making the 2018 NRL Finals Congratulations Simon on playing your 300th game for the Vodafone Warriors we hope you enjoyed the night as we all did. Photos courtesy of www.photosport.nz Bloody, Penrith, Dragons and Broncos...give me a break By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan HIS IS why I am not an NRL tipster. TLast week I boldly opined that to get a home game we would need to beat the Raiders – which happened – and have results go our way – which didn’t. The Storm did not beat the Panthers and blew the Minor Premiership, buggering everything. The Roosters, as predicted, were way too good for the Eels and snatched the Minor Premiership. Souths ended their slump by beating a Tigers side that barely looked interested to finish third. The Sharks at least made me look semi-competent, beating the Dogs to go fourth. The Panthers, as mentioned, pulled off an upset no-one saw coming, and that left them in fifth. The Broncos crushed Manly and rose to sixth, only failing to edge the Panthers – having finished on the same points and differential – because they had more points conceded. The Dragons beat Newcastle yet dropped to seventh. All of which saw us, despite our win over Canberra, at an almost disappointing eighth. Being there is the only thing, and our last finals experience in 2011 took us all the way to the final from the same spot, so why not again? It’s doubtful even if I wish I could say differently, but I cannot see it happening.
