TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 19 October 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 13 September to Monday 19 October 2009 The gospel according to Luke: IN MAY, Issac Luke stood alone in a corner of the cavernous changing sheds at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, hands shoved in pockets, tears in his eyes. Last Wednesday, he was the last to leave the more modest accommodation at the Rotorua International Stadium, perhaps savouring his immediate restoration to the Kiwis after missing May's Anzac test when the NRL judiciary banned him 72 hours before kick off. Kiwis to make United stand: EXCLUSIVE: THE FOUR Nations Kiwis World Cup-winning coach Stephen Kearney is set to meet and discuss sports tactics and training techniques with arguably the greatest football manager of all time during the team's tour to England and France. The New Zealand Rugby League would not comment last night but Sunday News understands Kearney and other key members of the Kiwis touring party are likely to meet with Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson. Our boys study in school of success: THE KIWIS are consulting with a management guru, several English premiership soccer clubs, and the English Rugby Union as part of their campaign to claim the Four Nations trophy. New Zealand flew to England on Friday morning to begin preparations for next Saturday's opener against Australia in London, and their senior players and management staff spent their last night in Auckland working with Auckland University professor Lester Levy on their leadership skills. Captain in fine voice: Wearing the captain's armband has not made Benji Marshall any more vocal on the field - according to some, it would be impossible for him to yap any more than he already did. "When you play in the position that I do, you're the one doing most of the talking anyway," Marshall said as the Kiwis departed for London and the start of the Four Nations. "There's an added responsibility that goes with being captain but in terms of how I communicate on the field, there's nothing different." The best is yet to come for Moimoi: Fuifui Moimoi didn't exactly cover himself in glory the last time he pulled on a Kiwis jersey. Or the first time. Or in any of the three matches in between. The fact that his five previous caps were in 2007 under the disastrous direction of Gary Kemble didn't exactly help. Australia seeking World Cup revenge over New Zealand: Australia's Kangaroos are looking for redemption in this month's Four Nations tournament in England and France after their stunning World Cup final defeat to New Zealand last year. The Australians open their campaign against the world champions at the Twickenham Stoop on Saturday. The loss to New Zealand, who had never beaten the Kangaroos in 13 World Cup matches going back to 1954, rocked the Australians, with coach Ricky Stuart losing his job to Tim Sheens after being disciplined for abusing cup final referee Ashley Klein. Brilliant Benji just got better: KANGAROOS skipper Darren Lockyer believes handing the New Zealand captaincy to his opposite number, Benji Marshall, has made the Wests Tigers star even more dangerous. Lockyer was due to arrive in London last night with the Australian side ahead of their opening Four Nations clash against the Kiwis next weekend. Marshall was surprisingly named captain in May this year after Nathan Cayless stepped down following the Kiwis' 2008 World Cup triumph. Kangaroos wary of Captain Marshall ahead of Four Nations match: Australia's rugby league captain Darren Lockyer says gaining the captaincy of the Kiwis has made New Zealand's Benji Marshall an even more dangerous opponent. The Kangaroos skipper says the leadership role encourages the unpredictable Marshall to take more ownership of games and get more involved. The two sides are both on their way to the Four Nations tournament in the UK, where they'll meet in the opening match next weekend. Marshall was named as New Zealand captain in May, replacing Nathan Cayless who stepped down following the side's 2008 World Cup triumph. The Kiwis beat Tonga 40-24 earlier this week in a warmup match for the season-ending tournament, which also involves England and France. Source: Radio New Zealand, 17 October 2009 Kiwis hooker taking nothing for granted: Hooker Issac Luke is taking nothing for granted as he presses his claims for the Kiwis' No 9 jersey during the inaugural Four Nations rugby league tournament. Luke, 22, was in the starting 13 against Tonga in Rotorua on Wednesday when his elusive darts out of dummy half were a feature of New Zealand's mixed performance in a 40-24 win. The test was the South Sydney Rabbitoh's seventh, and his first since the World Cup final victory over Australia in Brisbane last November, when he was came off the bench to relieve Thomas Leuluai. The nice guy finishing first: He's the one that didn't get away. At least that's how Kiwis see Krisnan Inu, the devout Christian with a Hindu-sounding name who possesses enough God-given talent to do just about anything on the footy field. Jarryd Hayne was the undoubted superstar as the Eels rolled towards an unlikely NRL grand final appearance this year. In terms of natural ability, however, the Auckland-born but largely Sydney-raised Inu is rated by many as Hayne's equal. Fien rapt to be back in the black: Once a Kiwi, always a Kiwi. Being dumped by the Warriors hasn't diminished Nathan Fien's love of playing for his adopted nation. Quite the opposite, in fact. For a player who had to endure Grannygate before finding redemption in last year's World Cup triumph, pulling on a Kiwis jumper has become even more special. "It's definitely something that I wanted to do," Fien said after Wednesday night's scrappy victory over Tonga. Kiwis prepare for Four Nations Tournament: Nathan Fien is where most Australian league players would like to be right now - one the same side as Fuifui Moimoi - as the Kiwis leave for the Four Nations Tournament. His Parramatta team mates - Nathan Hindmarsh and Jarryd Hayne have admitted that they're well wary of facing the 108 kilo front rower - when the Kangaroos face the Kiwi's in London next weekend. As for Moimoi - well, he can't wait. There's no shortage of motivation for the Aussies to put their bodies on the line - with memories of the Kiwi's World Cup win still very strong. And expect a new look Aussie side at the tournament - with the Kangaroos officially sponsored by Movember. And next week they'll be hoping they don't get mowed down by big Fuifui Moimoi. Source: 3 News, 16 October 2009 Competition open for spots against Kangaroos – Kearney: Coach Stephen Kearney says he won't be playing favourites and competition is alive for positions for the Kiwis' opening match in the Four Nations next week. The New Zealand tour party flew out of Auckland today bound for London and a first-up test against tournament favourites Australia on October 25 (NZ time). Kearney got a chance to assess most of his 23-strong squad during a patchy 40-24 win over Tonga in Rotorua on Wednesday. Lesser-spotted Kiwis deserving of greater profile in their country of origin: If ever a sports team had an appropriate nickname it's the Kiwis. Like their namesake, you can see the Kiwis on TV, but actually spotting them in the flesh is virtually impossible. Actually, for the average New Zealander, an encounter with the shy, nocturnal flightless bird is probably more likely than stumbling across a Kiwis test match in their local patch. Sure, both only ever venture out in the cover of darkness, but at least the birds emerge from their nests on a regular basis. Sau impresses in Kiwis debut: As the Kiwis rugby league team survived a scare from a fired up Tongan side, one player impressed. The Kiwis won 40-24 in Rotorua on Wednesday night but the game was level at 24-all in the second half and coach Stephen Kearney admits there are some concerns. "We need to touch up on all areas if we're to be competitive next week." The Kiwis have only ten days before they face Australia at the Four Nations tournament in England and France. However, new centre Junior Sau did make a big impact and his coach was happy. Kearney told ONE Sport, "Sau is the man...(he) really stepped up." Sau plays in the NRL for the Newcastle Knights. Source: One Sport, 15 October 2009 Kiwis have a lot of work to do: Coach Stephen Kearney was happy to look on the bright side of life as his side escaped a nasty jam against Tonga to score a somewhat flattering victory in Rotorua. If Kearney was concerned at the sizeable task he faces to turn the Kiwis into a force capable of challenging Australia in London in just 10 days' time, he was keeping it well hidden after last night's flawed effort. World champions pass Tonga test: Debutant Bryson Goodwin scored a brace of tries for New Zealand as they warmed up for the Four Nations tournament with a battling 40-24 victory over Tonga. The world champions led 24-8 at the break only for Tonga to draw level at 24-24 in the one-off Test in Rotorua. Kiwis battle past Tonga: New Zealand warmed up for the forthcoming Four Nations tournament in England with a hard-fought 40-24 win over Tonga.

  • 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.

  • TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson
    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.

But for Berrigan, who joined the club from school and made 186 NRL appearances for the club, winning on grand final day had been a long-held aspiration. “As a kid still in school, I recall sitting in Cyril Connell’s office upstairs here and writing down my goals,” he revealed to an attentive audience. “One was to win a grand final and the other was to win the Clive Churchill Medal as best on ground. Luckily that day I was able to do both.” Berrigan, who was also a member of the 5 2000 premiership team, was joined on stage by teammates Petero Civoniceva, Justin Hodges and Ben Hannant and interviewed by MC Ben Ikin, also a Broncos premiership winner form 2000.
