Our Game Plan was presented to many people throughout the country and was both well received and well supported. During these presentations we said the most important part of any Game Plan is actually making it happen, which is cer- tainly what we intend to do. Another aspect we talked a lot about during our presentations was the need for improved communication and complete transparency. We will use this newslet- ter as one of our means to improve communications and transparency by providing an update each month as to how we are progressing against our Game Plan and initiatives. Game Development – National Competitions Congratulations to the Canterbury Bulls for their victory in the Bartercard Pre- miership, and Auckland for winning both NJC16’s and NJC18’s. Auckland did very well to reach all three Finals but good to see Taranaki 16’s, Wellington 18’s and the Bulls making it all the way also. It was also pleasing to see that for the first time in many years we were able to hold the Barter- card Premiership Final at the home of the top qualifier. I would again like to thank Sky TV for agreeing to televise the Grand Final from Rugby Park in Christchurch. In future we will endeavour to try and continue hosting the final at the home of the top qualifier, but this may not always be possible. Talking about the future and Competitions, during our Game Plan presentations a regular ques- tion that was asked was, when will we have a new Competitions structure? Our response was that in order to ensure we get it right, we will not just rush into something. We are in the process of establishing a Competitions advisory group (from within our game) that will meet and work on what the future Competitions structure will look like. This will then be dis- cussed throughout the country at our next face to face update in late January to gain further in- put. This means that for the most part our Competitions next year will not change, with the exception that our Bartercard National Provincial Premiership may be in a different format. We will provide further updates in due course. Partners We have presented our Game Plan to many of our partners including SPARC. The feedback has been excellent, with everyone happy with progress to date and supportive of our Plan. We will now continue to work with SPARC through the details from a funding per- spective. We have also started discussions with other funders and sponsors re long term relationships. Increased Participation – LeagueNet In order for us to grow the game throughout the country we need to ensure our membership databases are accurate, as these will provide us all the informa- tion we need to make sure we increase participation at all levels and for all categories (players, coaches, referees, etc). Carmen Taplin will be working with specific people across the country over the next couple of months to make sure all the data is entered and up to date, and then we can use this information to work within the Zones to increase participation in the right areas within each Zone. ...Continued “Talking about the future and Competitions, during our Game Plan presentations a regular question that was asked was, when will we have a new Competitions structure? Our re- sponse was that in order to ensure we get it right, we will not just rush into something. “ 2 Culture of Excellence – “Right People, Right Places” Now we have completed our Game Plan and our tactics, we are in the process of reviewing our structure. The objective is to ensure we have the right people in the roles required to deliver our Game Plan. Within the NZRL office this will be com- pleted by end of October, and will then be communicated accordingly. Family & Community – More than just a Game As we announced earlier this month, we have selected a Bartercard Premiership Se- lection side to play a Toa Samoa Domestic squad at Mt Smart this Saturday, 10 Oc- tober. I would like to congratulate all the players, coaches and management who have been selected and wish them well in this event. This is in line with our Game Plan, providing pathways for players, coaches, trainers etc. Again, this is something we intend to continue and hope to arrange games for an NZ Residents side each year. The reason I wish them well for this event, is that it has actually now turned into more than just an event. After the news of the recent tragedy in Samoa, we thought it was important that we reach out to the Rugby League community and take the opportunity to turn our Game into a benefit match. And with a lot of work from a lot of people this has now turned into a significant event that we are sure will raise much needed funds to provide some relief. Our thanks go out to all those that are involved in this (a separate release will be circulated with de- tails) event which again shows that Rugby League is “More than just a Game” International Success – Kiwis in Town It is good to see the Kiwi team announced this week and the team assemble on Wednesday. We were very pleased to announce that Stephen Kearney has agreed a new four year contract that sees him as the Kiwis Head Coach until the 2013 World Cup. This allows us to focus on the long term and build a squad with the future in mind. I am sure you will all join me in wishing Stephen, Benji and the team best wishes for the Tonga Test in Rotorua and the Gillette Four Nations in the UK and France. While the Kiwis are in town we are holding two sessions where coaches and trainers from throughout the country will participate in organised activities with the Kiwis and Kiwi management - more on this on page 5. Financial Sustainability – Budgets We are presently working through all the tactics required to deliver our Game Plan over the next three years, and the costs involved in doing so. This is a piece of work that we expect to take some time - we don’t want to find our- selves in 12 months time suddenly coming up against costs we had not identified ear- lier so we are prepared to take the time now to get it right. Communications As you may have noticed, we have had a steady flow of press releases over the last month and with the information in this month’s newsletter, I hope you agree that we are certainly increasing communication. Effective Administration and Governance – Zone Boards We have now announced four of the seven Zone Boards, with the remaining three Boards expected to be announced during October. I hope my update and this newsletter provides you an update as to how we are pro- gressing on many of the activities we are working on. We will continuously look at ways we can keep everyone informed as to what is going on. Jim Doyle 3 4 2009 Bartercard National Provincial Premiership Grand Finals Wrap Up With rugby league action taking place in Auckland and Christchurch on Sunday 04 October it was an action-packed weekend for league lovers! The NJC16s and 18s were playing their Finals at Auckland’s Cornwall Park, with Auckland fielding finalist teams in both grades. In the NJC 16s game, which went to extra time, Auckland edged out Taranaki, while in the NJC 18s Auckland were the clear winners over Wellington. On hand to present the medals to the winning teams were league icons Dean Bell for the NJC 16s and Benji Marshall for the NJC 18s. Later that same day, Auckland again featured in the Finals action, competing against Canterbury in the Bartercard Premiership Grand Final. Thanks to Sky’s support, the Bartercard Premiership Grand Final was broadcast live from Canterbury’s home ground. The wet, cold weather was no deterrent to approximately 900 supports who turned up to watch the Bulls take on Auckland, and the local lads delivered a stunner of a match, with man -of-the-match Johnny Aranga scoring a try in the dying seconds of the game to seal the Bulls’ victory 26 - 20.

  • Two Kiwis on Their Way out of NRL: Kiwis Coach Stephen Kearney Is Philosophical About Two Kiwis Leaving the NRL to Pick up More Money in England
    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 18 May 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 12 April to Monday 18 May 2009 They are happy helping others: One helps out people from the other side of the world, one mentors the troubled kids at her league club, and another just looks after his mum. What the five winners of this year's Young Community Leaders Awards have in common, though, is a dedication to social work, rather than their social lives. Emma Daken, Teresa Edge, Henare Mihaere, Fofo Molia and Libby Tuite were chosen from nearly 60 nominees to receive the awards, which recognised Wellingtonians under the age of 25 working in the not-for- profit sector, either as a volunteer or in a paid position. Anzac test to stay - and it'll be in Brisbane: Despite the Kiwis' dire results in mid-year tests across the Tasman, the Anzac league test is likely to survive and remain in Brisbane because the New Zealand Rugby League cannot afford to host the game. NZRL chairman Ray Haffenden admits there are conflicting views about the test's value after New Zealand's run of eight successive defeats but has given it his backing and said the league cannot afford to scrap the game, nor host it. No sign of league World Cup cash: Six months since the World Cup final, the much-trumpeted tournament profit apparently still sits in a Rugby League International Federation bank account. New Zealand has not been told what the final profit is, or how it will be distributed and RLIF boss Colin Love couldn't be reached last night.

  • Blackbird Case Study NRL Copy
    CASE STUDY Australian National Rugby League turns to Blackbird to drive brand reach, engagement and monetization Australia’s National Rugby League (NRL) is the most viewed and attended rugby league club competition in the world. 16 professional men’s rugby teams, including the enormously popular Sydney Roosters, Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos, compete annually for the prestigious Telstra Premiership title. With the phasing out of SnappyTV, the NRL sought an alternative cloud video editing platform that could continue to significantly build the sport’s brand and reach by delivering engaging content to multiple platforms faster than any other solution on the market. After extensive research into available systems, the NRL chose Blackbird. Every weekend, live streams of the 8 games are run through the Microsoft Azure cloud from the NRL’s content partners’ production locations. Based in Sydney, the NRL’s digital team use Blackbird to rapidly clip, edit and publish highlights during and post-match to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Clips can be delivered to social platforms within 30 seconds – with emojis added and players and sponsors tagged for further engagement and reach. Idents, overlaid stills and animations and sponsor logos are easily added with geo and playback restrictions implemented to support international rights control. www.blackbird.video CONTINUED 800,000 fans globally with an NRL Watch account can enjoy premium video on-demand (VOD) content consisting of longer form match highlights, player interviews and behind the scenes content – all edited in Blackbird. With a cumulative TV audience of 116 million and over 2.9 million <30 Seconds fans regularly engaging with the sport on social media, the NRL clip from live game to social exceeded Australian Rules Football in popularity last year for the first time since 2010, boasting revenues of over $500m.

Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Delivering the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Course within the National Rugby League (NRL): Evaluation Report Abstract Mental illness is a reality for many Australians. The aN tional Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing, conducted in 2007 with people aged 16-85, revealed that one in five Australians, or 3.2 million people, had a 12-month mental disorder (a mental illness occurring 12 months before the survey took place) (ABS, 2007). The urs vey further revealed that 16 million Australians (45%) within this age bracket suffered with a mental illness at some point in their lives. While these findings are slowly becoming public knowledge, there is still a limited understanding amongst laypeople regarding the overt and more covert symptoms of mental illness, as well as appropriate methods of treatment and support for those that struggle with such challenges in their daily lives. Despite popular opinion, elite athletes are not exempt from these statistics. The pressures and expectations of clubs, coaches, fans and players themselves can reinforce feelings of isolation and loneliness (Storch and Ohslon, 2009), which discourage those experiencing mental illness to seek help.
