    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.

  • 2017 Season Review
    2017 Season Review Paul Hampton For the first time in Castleford’s 91 year history as a senior club they finished at the top of the table. After the regular season of 23 games the twelve team league split into the Super 8s at the top, with the bottom four joining with the Championship top four in the Qualifiers to determine promotion and relegation. Castleford finished the regular season at the top, ten points clear and maintained the lead to the end of the season. They were so far in front that the shield was awarded to them after only three games of the seven game series as they could not be caught. Final Table 2017 P W D L FOR AGST DIFF PTS Castleford Tigers 30 25 0 5 965 536 429 50 Leeds Rhinos 30 20 0 10 749 623 126 40 Hull FC 30 17 1 12 714 655 59 35 St Helens 30 16 1 13 663 518 145 33 Wakefield Trinity 30 16 0 14 745 648 97 32 Wigan Warriors 30 14 3 13 691 668 23 31 Salford Red Devils 30 14 0 16 680 728 -48 28 Huddersfield Giants 30 11 3 16 663 680 -17 25 The record breaking season was one of many achievements – • Luke Gale voted Man of Steel and RL Writers Association Player of the Year. He also won the League Express magazine Albert Goldthorpe Medal as Player of the Season for the third consecutive time. • Daryl Powell voted Coach of The Year • Castleford Tigers voted Club of The Year • Luke Gale topped the goal scoring list with 145 and was top points scorer in the league with 355 • Greg Eden was top try scorer in the League with 41 in all competitions • The club won the league by a record Super League margin of 10 points and equalled the highest points of 50.

    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.

    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.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 26th October 2016 Newsletter #145 ALK ABOUT a busy time. We went into camp at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland on TWednesday , where the players had a recovery session followed by getting the rest of their kit thanks to BKL. That was followed by a family dinner in the hotel, then it was off to the airport to catch our Air NZ flight to the UK, with a short stopover at LA airport. The only excitement on the flight was me getting a bleeding nose as we flew out of Auckland and it never stopped the whole bloody way. The team doctor could not stop it until we got to London but all is well now. We arrived Thursday in London and stayed at the Marriott in Kensington with the first day a recovery ses- sion, with a team dinner in the hotel followed by massages for the players. The next day started with a rolling breakfast from 7am till 10am ( the same pleasant way we are starting each day) and next was monitoring and hydration in the team room, followed by a team meeting . Lunch in the hotel is followed by a weights and mobility session at a local gym called Equinox, with a team dinner out of the hotel. Saturday was much the same but Sunday we had a training run at Harrow school (very flash) followed by weights and recovery session at the school then back to the hotel for team activity which just happened to be going to an NFL game at Twickenham between the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams.
