  • 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 30th May 2018 Newsletter #219 THE “FIGHTING RYAN” OF THE BOARDROOM 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) T WAS with the utmost sadness that I learned former New Zealand Rugby League chairman Gerald Ryan Ihad passed away last weekend, aged 87. In a lifetime of following and writing about the game I would have encountered only a handful of officials as colourful as Gerald. He was not only a totally honest and sincere man but also a journalist’s dream. The first NZRL chairman I met was Ron McGregor, who told me on the eve of the 1971 Kiwis tour to Brit- ain and France that all rugby league folk were bonded by having made a choice to become involved. Rugby league was not thrust upon us, as the union code was in high schools, and often sacrifices needed to be made to play our game. Since Ron there have been all manner of men chairing the national administration. They have certainly not been the bland, faceless stereotypes who have ruled some of this country’s biggest sports. Frankly, I knew little about Gerald Ryan when he was elected to the post in 1997 but I soon discovered his four-year term was never going to be boring. Continued on next page... Continued from previous page... boardroom the next time administrators from our two nations got around the table.
