What's in This Issue Jim Doyle Named As NZRL's New CEO New NZRL Auckland Rugby League Centennial Representative Day June 2009 Jim Doyle named as NZRL’s new CEO On 29 June 2009 Jim Doyle was announced as NZRL’s new CEO. Described by NZRL Chairman Scott Carter as being a a strong and highly capable leader who is not afraid of making hard decisions, Doyle will be taking up the CEO role fulltime from August. He currently holds positions on several boards and has a long back- ground in the technology sector, holding chief executive officer and general operational roles with a number of companies including Navman. Doyle said he was thrilled to secure the position at a time when the New Zealand Rugby League was rebuilding. “I’m really looking forward to coming in during a transitional phase and working with Scott and the board,” he said. “I really want to make a difference and do all I can to help rugby league become a much stronger sport on all fronts and at all levels. “To me rugby league is the best sporting product out there by far at the moment. With the Kiwis being the world champions, it couldn’t be a better time to be involved.” JIM DOYLE - Employment History April 2006 – Present Ecosswi Ltd Owner June 2006 – December 2008 ProvencoCadmus Interim CEO January 2006 – April 2006 Brunswick New Technologies COO November 2004 – January 2006 Navman Chief Executive/President, September 1997 – November 2004 Navman General Manager/COO February 1994 – September 1997 Alpine Electronics, NZ; General Manager Operations August 1987 – December 1993 Circuit Breaker Industries, S.

The recognition came after Kearney (36) coached the Pirtek Kiwis to their historic 34-20 victory over Australia in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup final in Brisbane. The Paraparaumu-born Kearney said he was stunned to receive the honour which has, in recent years, also been awarded to his former New Zealand team-mates Stacey Jones and Ruben Wiki. “I really find it difficult to come up with the right words to describe what this all means,” he said. “It’s extremely humbling that I should be singled out. In some ways I feel a little bit embarrassed to be recognised in this way, but at the same time I’m naturally very proud that our game should be honoured. “I’m proud for my family, friends, former team-mates, coaches and everyone involved in rugby league in New Zealand because this is what this award is about. It honours them more than me and I thank everyone who has helped me along the way. “I also see this as a reward for everyone in the group – the players, football staff and management – who helped the Kiwis win the World Cup. They all had a part to play and they all did a tremendous job.” Right: Stephen Kearney and his wife Piri at the 2009 Halberg Awards LeagueNet - Online Transfers and Clearances due soon Recently back from a LeagueNet meeting in Sydney, NZRL Administration Manager Carmen Ta- plin has been working with the rest of the LeagueNet team to develop the on-line clearances and transfers module. Carmen reports, “Currently, the processing of transfers and clearances is a manual process that is really time consuming for all involved. “NZRL and ARL have been working together with Sporting Pulse [the company that built League- Net] to develop an online, automated process for transfers and clearances. Helen Wright, ARL Development (ARLD) LeagueNet Administrator will be visiting NZRL in the next few weeks to work through policies and the standardisation of LeagueNet to enable a smooth transition once International Online Clearances begin in 2010. This is a really exciting, and much needed, devel- opment of the LeagueNet tool!” Carmen says that once the process has been standardised and im- A reminder though that plemented in time for the 2010 season, our Clubs, through their Dis- the database is only as trict Leagues or Zones, will be able to initiate clearances online with Clubs in Australia and vice versa. effective as the quality of data entered so I can not For legal reasons, the need to have a signed form will still remain, but the new clearance system will be much more efficient time-wise express strongly enough and gives Districts/Zones and NZRL immediate visibility of a player’s how important it is to get clearance history at the touch of a button. the NZRL individual “A reminder though that the database is only as effective as the qual- Player Registration ity of data entered, so I cannot express strongly enough how impor- forms completed accu- tant it is to get the NZRL individual Player Registration forms com- rately by your members.” pleted accurately by your members,” says Carmen. “The close off date for individual Player and Contractual Registration Forms is 10th July 2009 for all Districts, apart from Rugby League Hawkes Bay who will be providing their registration forms shortly after their Spring competition kicks off in August. It is extremely important for all Dis- tricts to provide registration forms for all members, Junior and Senior.” The NZRL Contractual Registration Form (left) and the NZRL individual Player Regis- tration Form (right) are both required as the combined data from these two forms is en- tered into LeagueNet and allows players to be assigned to teams, player statistics to be maintained, and will also enable the best use of the online transfers and clearances tool once this starts in 2010. Praise for Auckland Rugby League’s LeagueNet site The hard work of Juanita Woodhouse, David Blackwell and Alix Macartney has led to Auckland Rugby League’s LeagueNet site topping the District Leagues count with the number of hits to its SportingPulse website! Carmen says, “Our friends at ARLD were very impressed with the high level of traffic volume to Auckland’s LeagueNet site, especially considering the number of registered players in New Zealand compared to those registered in Australia.” “Thank you very much to the staff noted above who work tirelessly to ensure the competition and membership data is up to date and as accurate as possible - their ongoing dedication and suc- cessful utilisation of LeagueNet is worthy of the praise ARLD have given it!” Canterbury Rugby League’s quick take up of LeagueNet pays dividends! Carol Crozier, Canterbury Rugby League’s Club Liaison Officer has been working with the LeagueNet application for 18 months now – here Carol shares some thoughts on her LeagueNet journey so far. “I went to the LeagueNet training workshop in Auckland in 2008, and from there started entering all our data into LeagueNet. “Combining our existing database into LeagueNet and matching up our old field names with the new LeagueNet field names took some time. Once I had all that sorted, I went through the duplicate players that the system identified, but once I had got through that it was on to the fun stuff.” The section of LeagueNet that Carol is really enjoying using is the Competitions section. Carol says, “Being able to link all the information for players and teams is great – weekly draws, grade tables, number of games Above: Carol with the played, number of tries scored – and then being able to load all that Rugby League World Cup information on to our LeagueNet website – it saves me so much time!” Of course, as with any new applications, there can be a few wrinkles to iron out. “The first time I tried to do the results from home my computer crashed and I thought we had lost it all. I didn't know how I would tell Rochelle who had spent months updating postal codes ready for the synchronisation. After a moment of panic, and a sleepless night I was most relieved to find there was no loss of data!” “This program has so many benefits for Rugby League Administrators. It takes a bit of work at the beginning, but after that it doesn’t take long for the benefits kick in. I am sure LeagueNet will be a success story for those people who put the time and effort in to it.” Northland steps up with Coaching The small township of Moerewa, about 60 kilometres north of Whangarei, was host to Modified Games and International Laws Coaching Certificate courses during June.

    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.

  • 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.

Methods: Eleven team performance indicators were extracted from each match played by every ESL and NRL team over their respective 2016 season. Data was averaged, classified according to competition (Two levels: ESL and NRL), and modelled using univariate and multivariate techniques. Specifically, effect size statistics enabled between group comparisons, while non-metric multidimensional scaling enabled multivariate insights into competition dissimilarity. Results: Seven of the 11 performance indicators showed ‘large’ to ‘very large’ effects. Notably, NRL game-play generated fewer ‘line breaks’, ‘errors’, ‘tackles’ and ‘dummy half runs’ relative to ESL game-play (d >1.2). Despite the NRL generating fewer ‘all runs’ (d = 1.27 [0.57-1.95]), game-play in this competition generated greater ‘all run distances’ relative to the ESL (d = 1.78 [1.02-2.51]).

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.

    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.
