  • Biggest Week of the Year for Rugby League It’S the NRL Grand Final THIS Sunday
    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 28th September 2016 Newsletter #141 It’s the Biggest Week of the year for Rugby League It’s the NRL Grand Final THIS Sunday Kick Off: 9.15PM New Zealand Time Who Wins the 2016 Grand Final? By John Coffey QSM Author of ten rugby league books, Christchurch Press sports writer (44 years), NZ correspondent for Rugby League Week (Australia) and Open Rugby (England) HE AUSTRALIAN airlines will profit from Grand Final weekend, with Melbourne Storm fans heading Tto Sydney for the NRL decider on Sunday, and Sydney Swans supporters going the other way for the AFL showdown on Saturday. Both have been dominant clubs in the last decade, in contrast to their rivals. The Cronulla Sharks are seeking their first title in their 50th season, while the Western Bulldogs have not played a final since 1961. I know nothing about Aussie Rules but I do know I have mixed feelings about whether I want the Sharks or the Storm to take home the trophy. Here are some arguments for and against: Why I want the Storm to win: More Kiwis: With the Bromwich brothers, Kevin Proctor and Tohu Harris, the Storm have a distinct Kiwis connection, not to mention flying wing Suliasi Vunivalu, who went to school in Auckland. Best team all season: The Storm are the most consistent team, as evidenced by their winning the minor premiership being without champion fullback Billy Slater. The coach: Craig Bellamy has been blessed with some superstars but also has the knack of turning journey- men into influential players.

Photo www.photosport.nz HE NRL are to be congratulated for a highly successful Grand Final day. Everything about the event was Tpositive- the game was dramatic and exciting, the atmosphere was electric, the entertainment first class and the weather superb. Living in the Cronulla area, I am biased towards the Sharks but except for Storm fans, I joined most of the Rugby League community in wanting the Sharks to break their 50 year drought and win their first Premiership. They experienced many tense moments before they did this and the celebrations within “ the Shire “ will go on for many weeks. The entire Sharks 17 man squad rose to the occasion. While Luke Lewis took out the Clive Churchill Medal as the game’s best player, several of his team-mates were not far behind him. Andrew Fifita posted incredible statistics. The big prop ran for 189 metres in his 23 hit-ups, made 12 tackle busts, one linebreak and 30 tackles in 61 blockbusting minutes, and for good measure, pow- ered over for the Premiership winning try with 11 minutes to play. Five eighth James Maloney also worked hard and although his numbers were not great, halfback Chad Townsend had an influential game. The Storm players concentrated on Townsend, sending their big men racing at him on the edge of the rucks while he also copped some big hits, one especially brutal from Rugby Union bound winger, Marika Koroibete, after just six minutes.

  • Improving the Physical Preparation and Development of Women's Rugby Sevens Players
    Improving the Physical Preparation and Development of Women’s Rugby Sevens Players Anthea C. Clarke A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Canberra for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Faculty of Health University of Canberra Thesis Abstract With the introduction of rugby sevens to the Olympic Games schedule from 2016, the exposure and increased professionalisation of the sport has grown rapidly worldwide in both the men’s and women’s game. Substantial investment is being directed into rugby sevens to better characterise the game demands and training requirements for enhancing the preparation and management of players. However, most research in rugby sevens has examined male players only, and unique differences between sexes, including aspects of physiology, health, and contextual factors, may limit the translational efficacy of this information to the women’s game. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate strategies for improving the management of women’s rugby sevens players’ health and physical development, assessment of game and training demands, and prescription of training and talent identification processes. In total, this thesis contains six independent studies that address aspects of these strategies. The first study was a cross-sectional comparison of the game demands and physical profiles of male and female rugby sevens players at three levels of competition. The second and third studies assessed microtechnology use for rugby sevens through a laboratory-based protocol to develop a physiologically-defined high- intensity speed threshold for women, and evaluated the efficacy of automated collision detection technology. Studies four and five were observational studies comparing the neuromuscular fatigue, muscle damage and inflammation between State and National level players following a two-day women’s rugby sevens tournament.

  • Wigan Warriors 2021 Media Guide
    MEDIA GUIDE 2021 WELCOME Welcome to the 2021 Betfred Super League season on behalf of us all at Wigan Warriors. Thank you for taking the time to read our 2021 media guide. If you are writing any stories on Wigan Warriors, please let us know if we can help and if you have any suggestions for improvements we can make to the Club communications side. We know that some of you have seen and reported more Rugby League than anyone else on the planet, so we value your opinions and feedback on all the facets of Wigan Warriors’ media and communications operation and would welcome your thoughts. We look forward to working with you for what we are sure will be another thrilling Betfred Super League season. Thank you. Alastair Hancock Media and communications executive Wigan Warriors To our friends in the press and media, welcome to the 2021 Betfred Super League season. It is so great to be back after a much-needed rest following the exploits of 2020. Before I express my hopes for the 2021 season, it is so important that we reflect on 2020. The year that put the world under so much stress. When things happen, you often reflect afterwards on things you could have done differently. I am not sure any Super League club would say that they would have done. We drove to work each morning not knowing what the day would hold. Our language expanded to accommodate words such as ‘furlough’ and ‘social distancing’. We learned that the true heroes in life are not the ones running around in playing kits, but the ones who put their lives at risk on a daily basis to keep us safe.
