  • NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE
    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 08 June 2009 RE: Media Summary Wednesday 03 June to Monday 08 June 2009 My life in sport: Scott Carter: Scott Carter happily hopped in a hot seat this week. Carter is the new chairman of the New Zealand Rugby League, an organisation trying to break free of the perpetual tail spin it has been in for more years than the sport's fans care to remember. Observers have often claimed that league couldn't go any lower, only to find that one year later the hole is even deeper.. League faces a tricky situation living in Australia's shadow, but years of inept administration have wrecked its credibility and helped playing numbers drop to below 20,000. The NZRL could barely tie its own shoelace at times, let alone take advantage of the high profile of the NRL and the Warriors and put the game on the front foot. NZ's league issues tackled with optimism: Scott Carter fended off suggestions he has taken the equivalent of a 'hospital pass' by inheriting chairmanship of the New Zealand Rugby League (NZRL), but the former policeman admits the game's rehabilitation is far from complete. Carter will be a central figure in the coordination of that process after being unveiled as Ray Haffenden's successor on Sunday. England go for untried talent in France: England coach Tony Smith on Tuesday named three uncapped players in his squad for the Rugby League Test with France which is to be played in Paris on June 13.
