TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 23 June 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 16 June To TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 23 June 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 16 June to Tuesday 23 June 2009 City Tigers upset by Turangawaewae: Turangawaewae showed plenty of grit and determination to cause a minor upset by beating Hamilton City Tigers 22-20 in Waikato premier rugby league on Saturday. The victors have been going quietly about their business while also sorting out matters internally within their team. It was the old guard of experienced players that showed the way on Saturday, led by two-try centre player-coach Tangata Herangi and standoff John Tukere. Storm assistant Stephen Kearney's job application: Assistant Storm coach Stephen Kearney, widely tipped to replace disgraced Roosters coach Brad Fittler, yesterday confirmed his credentials by directing Melbourne to a win over Wests Tigers at Olympic Park. Kearney was in charge of Melbourne all week in the absence of NSW Origin coach Craig Bellamy and had to contend with losing four players to the Blues and playing the last four minutes with 12 men. It was the sort of performance that will only enhance Kearney's chances in the eyes of the Sydney Roosters. Some unnamed players told weekend newspapers Kearney's move to Bondi Junction was already a done deal. Kearney, who coached the Kiwis to last year's World Cup victory, has denied it. Auckland lagging way behind in sports world: Why is Auckland such a thoroughly unsuccessful sporting city? Do we even realise our teams are dreadful underachievers? Do we care? Maybe Daniel Carter asked himself a few questions like that before deciding to stick with Canterbury. But then why did Auckland Rugby, with the largest talent pool in the country, need to buy him anyway? It's not just rugby. A snapshot of Auckland teams, across a range of high profile sports, provides results more in keeping with places like New Plymouth or Invercargill. Kearney turns down Wigan: World Cup-winning Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney has turned his back on a potentially lucrative deal to take over the reins at English Super League powerhouse Wigan. The New Zealand Rugby League, anxious to avoid a repeat of the messy Brian McLennan affair of two years ago when the then Kiwi coach quit to join Leeds, welcomed the news last night. NRL will keep turning into Islands paradise: Give it 10 years, says Tony Kemp, and the NRL will be a Pacific Islands paradise. Kemp, the former Kiwi player and Warriors coach, these days works as a consultant to the NZRL. His task: to identify and woo New Zealand-born or qualified players to turn out for the Kiwis instead of the Kangaroos. It's not easy. Australian rugby league does not lack for thinkers and the Aussies have embraced the Pacific Islands talent base as enthusiastically as New Zealand did years ago. The difference is - they are approaching matters much more strategically. Benji wipeout shows tide running against league: If ever there was an example of rugby league's stars falling, surely this is it. Even reality television is shunning the NRL's best and brightest. Wests Tigers halfback Benji Marshall is one of the biggest stars in the game, and while it may not be a case of the bigger they are, the harder they fall, he has been tainted with the same broad brush that is covering league players in the wake of 2009's year of sex, lies and, in the case of former Cronulla CEO Tony Zappia, audiotape. International RL - Is there any point: Despite the pleasure in seeing Widnes academy product Richie Myler go in for a record points haul in an international against France, this "test" match exposed yet more frailties in the world of international rugby league, as we continue to fight a losing battle in competing for a global audience. It appears someone somewhere believes rugby league cannot exist as a thriving domestic sport alone, and that it must be played globally to receive any recognition. City Tigers upset by Turangawaewae Turangawaewae showed plenty of grit and determination to cause a minor upset by beating Hamilton City Tigers 22-20 in Waikato premier rugby league on Saturday. The victors have been going quietly about their business while also sorting out matters internally within their team. It was the old guard of experienced players that showed the way on Saturday, led by two-try centre player-coach Tangata Herangi and standoff John Tukere. That duo ensured the Turangawaewae backline more than held their own against the Tigers backs, as Namu Puru had a quiet game and the halfback Hayden Karena was guilty of taking some wrong options. The blue and gold forward pack muscled up well, content to cart the ball forward. Prop Joshua Cowan and fellow senior player Brett Whitiora were to the fore, while hooker Tukua Matthew was effective out of dummy half with a good tactical kicking game and fullback Jardin Paul-Harris had his moments. The game was tied 10-all at halftime but Tigers seemed to lose their shape in the second half as Turangawaewae continued to do the basics well, with loose forward Dominic Paul working tirelessly in defence and being an elusive runner around the ruck. In the other match played at Resthills Park, Hamilton Hornets ground out a comfortable 40-26 win over a courageous College Old Boys outfit. The victory was set up through a solid forward platform led by Haki Katipa and Wallace King as both players ran strongly with the ball and defended well. The Hornets backs had their moments too, with standoff Billy Grey directing play. For the young COB side, hooker Vinnie Strother and halfback Dwayne Skyes had good games as their side scored some nice long range tries but their pack failed to tough out the 80 minutes. At League Park, Ngaruawahia, the home Panthers side outclassed Hukanui 42-20. The Ngaruawahia forward pack, again led by Wiggen twins Craig and Steven, were able to contain the confrontational Hukanui pack, who have been menacing in recent outings. New Zealand Warriors age-group players Ryan Laurenson and Jerome Kutia had solid games for the Panthers (Source: John Devonshire, Waikato Times, 22 June 2009) Storm assistant Stephen Kearney's job application Assistant Storm coach Stephen Kearney, widely tipped to replace disgraced Roosters coach Brad Fittler, yesterday confirmed his credentials by directing Melbourne to a win over Wests Tigers at Olympic Park. Kearney was in charge of Melbourne all week in the absence of NSW Origin coach Craig Bellamy and had to contend with losing four players to the Blues and playing the last four minutes with 12 men. It was the sort of performance that will only enhance Kearney's chances in the eyes of the Sydney Roosters. Some unnamed players told weekend newspapers Kearney's move to Bondi Junction was already a done deal. Kearney, who coached the Kiwis to last year's World Cup victory, has denied it. Kearney's reputation had been growing steadily, so much so that Super League has already come knocking. However, with Fittler's star having some shine knocked off it with an alcohol-fuelled incident in Townsville early Friday morning, Kearney might be tempted to move into an NRL head coach's shoes in 2010. Fittler is off contract this year. And while Kearney is not off until 2010, there is an understanding the club would not stand in his way if an NRL job was offered. In Bellamy's absence, Kearney prepared a depleted Storm with another coach on the rise -- Michael McGuire. He has been Laurie Daley's right-hand man with the Country side for the past two seasons and he is also in favour with the Roosters. But he would only speak of the match yesterday. "We've got a lot of structures in place down here, so all Steve and I did was soak up what Craig would do and do it," McGuire said yesterday. Despite the coaching chess moves in the background, Melbourne showed a lot of tenacity to hold off the Tigers without stars -- Greg Inglis, Billy Slater, Cam Smith and Dallas Johnson. Then Inglis's replacement, Dane Nielsen, was ordered from the field in the 76th minute by referee Ashley Klein for his high tackle on Tigers winger Beau Ryan. With the teams separated by just two points, Melbourne snuffed out three more Tigers raids led by their magic man, Benji Marshall. "They came up with some offensive plays that put pressure on us. But some young kids dug deep there for the last 10 minutes, so we did a good job," Cooper Cronk told Fox Sports. "Not a lot of guys can perform exactly like Greg Inglis or Billy (Slater) but they can tackle and they can run and still do good things. That's what we spoke about all week." McGuire said he needed to speak with Nielsen, who was a dejected figure afterwards. The NSW Cup player had been brought into the centres for just his second NRL game in the absence of Inglis. "He knows it's a process now and we'll support him through that," said McGuire, adding that Nielsen had apologised to Ryan on the field and again in the dressing rooms. The closeness of the contest showed in the scoreline. It took nearly 20 minutes before anyone put points on. Cronk flew on to a good pass from Brett Finch off another superb offload from stand-in hooker Ryan Hinchcliffe. When Tigers replied through five-eighth Blake Ayshford five minutes later, it stayed 6-6 until virtually halftime.

    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.

Rest in Peace, Sir Colin Meads By Sir Peter Leitch T WAS with great sadness on Sunday morning that I got a phone call from Sir Colin Meads’ family to say Ithat he had passed away. We all know Sir Colin (Pine Tree) was a famous All Black - number 583 - who made 55 test appearances for the All Blacks, and went on to be captain. He also played 139 games for King Country, and who knows how many for his beloved local team Waitete. We all also know what a great man he was, but what a lot of people don't know, is the great charity work he has done over many years. We had been mates for more years than I care to remember, and I witnessed many charity events he did, some of them even alongside me. He did some TV commercials too, and donated the money to charity. One example of a charity he supported was IHC, where he was involved for more than 40 years. There is nothing I can add to everything that is being said, and I don’t want to, because I am feeling the great loss of a close and dear friend.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 11 May 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 05 April to Monday 11 May 2009 Kearney wants to stay on: DESPITE Friday's loss to the Kangaroos, Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney has given the first hints he wants to carry on in the role beyond this year. The 36-year-old, who guided the Kiwis to World Cup glory against all odds last year, comes off contract after the Four Nations, which ends mid-November. Anzac test defeats seen as brand damage to Kiwis: NEW ZEALAND officials are concerned that the Kiwi brand is becoming damaged by one-sided Anzac test defeats, and a former NZRL chairman has called for the mid-year game to be scrapped. Senior Kiwi and Australian officials will meet in the next month to discuss plans for the year-end Four Nations tournament, but New Zealand will also want debate over the future of this game. There is no long-term contract for the match, which is agreed to on an annual basis. It was classic Benji – good and bad: After engineering – almost single-handedly – a win for the Tigers over the Knights on a recent sunny Sunday afternoon, Benji Marshall was described by astute league analyst Phil Gould as “an enigma; a mystery wrapped up in a riddle”. That same enigma was back last night at Suncorp Stadium and, perhaps more importantly, he had the extra responsibility of captaining his world champion Kiwis against a fired up Aussie side hell-bent on revenge.
