RLCM COMMENT - Broncos blunders and mistakes cause problems.
By Gary Roberts

Has the great era of the Broncos came to end.

The team that for so long has been the benchmark of the NRL and
previous Winfield Cup competitions are now finding it hard to mix it
with the top teams.

The New Zealand Warriors gave the proud Broncos a good old
fashion 'thumping' at ANZ yesterday to the tune of 32 to 12.

Teams that were once concerned of playing the Broncos at ANZ no
longer have that fear.

The Broncos who were exposed to certain deficiencies last year after
the Roosters defeated them 28 to 18 in Round 22 have had problems
since that time when playing the top teams.

The Broncos history of defeats since Round 22 in 2002 show the story.

Round 22....Roosters 28 defeated Broncos 18
Round 23....Warriors 18 defeated Broncos 4
Round 24....Newcastle 40 defeated Broncos10
Round 26....Bulldogs 25 defeated Broncos 18
Final.......Roosters 16 defeated Broncos 12
Round 5 2003..Warriors 32 defeated Broncos 12.

The Broncos wins since Round 22, 2002 and 2003 have been:

Canberra, Parramatta in 2002 and Penrith, Souths, Sharks, Cowboys in
2003.

The problems that came to the surface in 2002 have now compounded
where the Broncos are unable to come out of their own end effectively
and cannot gain good field position.

Cross field running is a problem, 'Never Straight Tate' caused a
major problem yesterday with his lateral running and someone should
explain to the Australian player the first principle of 'Attack Play"
or what a centre's or winger's role is in a 'Get Out' set.

The mistakes they are making in their own half are created by
themselves and they are results from the pressure that top teams are
allowed to put on them.

Against weaker teams the Broncos can overcome the problems. This was
witnessed when the played the Sharks who played most of the game in
the Broncos territory again thanks to errors by the Broncos.

Wayne Bennett when questioned yesterday, if the errors were a problem
said, " They were not a problem until today, we had lot of errors in
us today, it is the most we have had all season, pressure does that
as well.

"It was brought on by ourselves. We start poorly in the first half
and we started the second half as we started the first half

"Your cannot do that against teams that have the quality. The
Warriors are a good football team and they played superbly."

The Broncos had the ball for 22 plays in the first half.

Below are the major mistakes:

1. TURN OVER on the first set 5th play - BRONCOS SET 1/22
Restart to the Warriors on 50m

2. KNOCK ON 3rd play in Warriors red zone [95m] - 7th set - BRONCOS
SET 4/22

3. INTO TOUCH 1st play on own 5m - 9th set - BRONCOS SET 5/22
Scrum feed to Warriors 10m out from Broncos line

4. INTO TOUCH 1st play - 13th set - BRONCOS SET 7/22
Scrum feed to Warriors 50m

5. BALL KICKED DEAD FROM KICK OFF - Commencement of 15th set.
Restart to Warriors on the 50m

6. BALL INCEPTED WARRIORS SCORE 1st play - 22nd set - BRONCOS SET
11/22

'Never Straight Tate' picks up the ball 10m left field run across
field to opposite right side, still 10m out and throws a pass,
incepted by Meli ...... TRY to Warriors

7. KNOCK ON 3th play in Warrior red zone [90m] - 25th set - BRONCOS
SET 13/22

8. KNOCK ON 3rd play OWN 45m - 30th set - BRONCOS SET 15/22
Restart to Warriors 45m out from Broncos line

9. KNOCK ON 1st play from KICK OFF - 35th set - BRONCOS SET 18/22
Scrum feed Warriors 10m out Broncos line

10. KNOCK ON 5th play Warriors red zone [95m] - 40th set - BRONCOS
21/22

11. KNOCK ON 1st play Warriors red zone [95] - 42 set - BRONCOS SET
22/22

There was other errors from the Broncos with their kicks and the
penalties the gave away to give the Warriors 'piggyback' sets.

The only pleasing thing for the Broncos was that they were only
behind 10 - 6 at half-time, so their defence was working. But if it
was the Broncos of a past era, they would not have been in problems
from this point.

But the Warriors scored from the kick off after the break and were on
their way to putting another Broncos scalp on their trophy board.

A major point that showed out was that the Broncos half back position
has not been solved and will be a problem unless Scott Prince, who
played superbly in the lead up game, can fill the spot and bring some
creative play to the team as the first receiver.

Coaching the Mental Aspect By Bob Wood Level 2 Coach.

and you will be reading it today.


There are four elements in coaching Rugby League:
physical, technical, tactical, mental. The proportion
in which these elements are coached depends on the
age group and experience of your team. The old style
of coaching focused heavily on the first element. This
would involve long runs and heavy physical work,
although you can still see many teams on suburban
ovals being run into the ground.

The second element (technical) should be one of the
main focuses for junior teams. This involves teaching
the skills of the game such as tackling technique,
passing and evasion.

The third element (tactical) generally comes into play
in mods and international rules teams. This involves
zone plays, defensive patterns and game plans.

However, most coaches only employ the first three
elements ignoring the fourth (mental). Often this is
because they dont know how to coach this element,
and yet it is the most important of all the four elements.
The fourth element should be coached from juniors
through to NRL level.

When I first started getting interested in coaching the
mental skills of the game, I researched how mental
skills were coached at the elite level of many sports.
All of them dealt with visualisation techniques, goal
setting, techniques for focusing such as black box
techniques, and the use of medical professionals
(including hypnotism). All of this seemed out of reach
for a junior team, although I did have some success
with visualisation and goal setting.

As I continued with my coaching I became more and
more concerned that I was only coaching three quarters
of the required elements. Eventually, I discovered the
secret to coaching the fourth element, and it made a
huge impact on both my coaching and the performance
of my teams.

To understand the secret to coaching the fourth
element, first you must understand what you are
coaching. I have asked a number of coaches over the
years that question. What is your answer? What are
you coaching?

A lot of coaches answer that they are coaching Rugby
League, or a Rugby League team. The few coaches
who answered they are coaching Rugby League
players or athletes are closer to the answer. But you
are in fact coaching young, often immature and
uncertain people, seeking guidance and self esteem.
Each of these people has a lot of other influences in
their life. In years gone by the local priest, teachers,
fathers and policeman provided discipline for these
young people, often with a boot firmly planted in the
backside. Life was ordered, structured and with well
defined boundaries.

Society has changed and today the training paddock
is often the only area where discipline is both required
and demanded. The football team is the only area in
their life that is ordered, structured and with well
defined boundaries. The footy coach has taken over
the role previously exercised by the priest, policeman
and teacher, albeit without the boot up the backside.
Too often you also find yourself fulfilling the role of
dad as well.

Society is putting more demands and pressures on the
young than ever before. Each of these demands and
pressures will affect your players on the training
paddock and their performance on the field. At most
you probably only get three or four hours per week
with your players, out of 112 waking hours. That
means that other people have a much greater potential
to influence your players than you do. The only way
that you can ensure that you have sufficient influence
over these players is by coaching the fourth element.
To coach the fourth element you must take a personal
interest in every player, you must coach every player
as an individual, you must coach with humour and
you must coach with enthusiasm. Look for anything
that a player does well and be lavish in your praise
with every player.

I still have young men seek me out to thank me for
my coaching from years ago. The comments are
always along the lines that it was the most enjoyable
time of their lives. Often I get comments that it was
only through their involvement with footy that stopped
them from going down the wrong path later in life.
I too have been beaten by sides full of super stars, but
my coaching is more long term than that. My teams
last, my players return and eventually those super star
teams start to fall by the wayside.

Forget about all those hypnotists, you can coach the
fourth element just by taking a personal interest in
each and every player. Your players will respond in
ways that you wont believe. You will get more out
of the players than you will by using any other method.

Phil Gould insists he's ready to quit Blues


By Steve Mascord: NSW coach Phil Gould last night insisted there was
every chance he would quit the post within days of leading the 30-man
Blues squad in a training session this morning.

Gould dropped one of the season's biggest bombshells yesterday when
he told The Sun-Herald he was seriously considering standing down
before the 2003 series began.

The former premiership-winning coach said he did not want to deal
with some media outlets and believed this position was not compatible
with the duties associated with leading the Blues.

Yesterday he revealed problems with the media were the main reason he
stood down after least year's series, only to be talked into another
year by NSW Rugby League officials.

"I'm very serious," said Gould, who expects to hold talks with NSWRL
chairman Colin Love and chief executive Chris Turner after a 10am
training session at Telstra Stadium. "I had a talk to [NRL CEO] David
Gallop about it this week and [Sydney Roosters chairman] Nick
Politis. We agreed we'd discuss it further, get through the
obligation tomorrow with the 30-man squad.

"There are still eight weeks before Origin, so there's plenty of time
to make changes if we have to."

Stuart blasts refs over spear tackles


By Peter Kogoy and Stuart Honeysett: ROOSTERS' premiership coach
Ricky Stuart has called for stricter on-field policing of dangerous
throws by referees and touch judges after two incidents went
unreported at Townsville's Dairy Farmers Stadium on Saturday night.

The first involved Cowboys captain Paul Bowman who dumped opposing
centre Lelea Paea during the first half. The other came two minutes
from the end when Matt Bowen picked up Shannon Hegarty, who landed on
the back of his head.

Stuart was still fuming yesterday that Bowen was not put on report by
rookie referee Steve Lyons for the tackle.

In a match televised by Fox Sports, Lyons was heard to say, "Great
tackle, mate, but you lifted him above the horizontal" as he
cautioned Bowen.

Lyons, a 33-year-old tiler, was officiating in his 13th game of first
grade after making his debut in August 2001.

"I can't believe that kid Bowen was not put on report in regards to
the spear tackle on Shannon Hegarty," Stuart said.

"Hegarty felt crook, but he still got up after the hit and played on
and didn't show the effect of the tackle.

"The kid got knocked around. There were also a number of other high
shots in the game I will be looking at."

Stuart said he sought out Lyons after the game for an explanation.

"I did ask him why (the tackles were not reported) and he said they
(judiciary) will look at it," Stuart said.

"If he thinks they are going to look at it, there is probably no use
putting it on report.

"But let's make a rule: do you put them on report or do you put
everything through the judiciary so they have to watch the tape?"

Bradford 36 defeated Wigan 22


Favourites Bradford overcame unexpectedly tough resistance from the
injury-hit holders to set up an all-Yorkshire Powergen Challenge Cup
final.

The Bulls ran in four second half tries to overhaul a 16-12 deficit
and set up a showdown with arch rivals Leeds at the Millennium
Stadium on Saturday week after a 36-22 victory.

That will be a repeat of the 2000 final at Murrayfield which Bradford
won 24-18 but Brian Noble's men will have their work cut out against
the Rhinos following their dramatic win over St Helens.

Like Saints, Wigan have now lost three matches in a row for the first
time this century as the pendulum swings away from the Lancashire
strongholds.

Wigan, who never plugged the gaps created by the departure of
experienced trio Gary Connolly, Dave Furner and Harvey Howard,
realistically faced a hopeless task in the absence of international
quartet Andy Farrell, Mick Cassidy, Jamie Ainscough and Brett Dallas
through injury.

It was their first semi-final defeat for 35 years but at least they
went down fighting.

They had their moments in a see-saw first half but faded after the
break and there was the sad sight of full-back Kris Radlinski, man of
the match in their shock win over St Helens at Murrayfield, being
carried off in a neck brace after being hurt trying to stem the
Bulls' second half onslaught.

Afterwards Bradford coach Brian Noble praised his side after a strong
second-half effort.

Noble told the BBC: "It's fantastic. Wigan really kept coming and
kept coming, I'm highly delighted with the win.

"There was pressure but these are expectations we have to live with.
We'll take a lot of pride from that performance.

"When it mattered we put our foot down and got the tries."

NZ Warriors 32 defeated Broncos 12


Brisbane face an anxious week after props Andrew Gee and Petero
Civoniceva were reported during their punishing 32-12 loss to the
Warriors at ANZ Stadium.

Last year's grand finalists out-muscled the Broncos who until a
brilliant individual try to replacement Sione Faumuina were still in
the game trailing 20-12 with 12 minutes remaining.

Gee, playing his 250th game, was reported in the first half while
Civoniceva looked to have escaped until referee Shayne Hayne received
advice via the video ref regarding his second half high tackle on
Wairangi Koopu.

The Warriors always looked to be in control the game with Brisbane
forced to do a mountain of tackling in the first half against an
opposition which continually forced them into effort.

Classy Warriors halfback Stacey Jones dominated the opening 15
minutes with Brisbane forced to defend grimly as the Warriors enjoyed
a lions share of possession.

The Warriors tactics were clear early, Jones attacking Stuart Kelly's
right wing.

It paid dividends 11 minutes into the physical battle with Warrior's
winger Francis Meli using his strength height to climb above Kelly
and pull down one of Jones' cross-field bombs to score the first try
of the game.

Eight minutes later Meli's long arm again came into play as he
knocked down a Brent Tate pass aimed for Kelly before regaining the
ball and strolling over for a converted try to give the visitors of
handsome 10-0 lead.

Loss was a slap in the face


By Paul Kent: DRAGONS coach Nathan Brown last night admitted the
pressure got to him as he explained why he slapped captain Trent
Barrett across the face during yesterday's loss to Manly - which
Brown described as the club's worst performance in the history of the
joint venture.

"I gave him bit of a clip," Brown said.

"That was me showing how poor I was under pressure. I'm no
different."

Brown had earlier claimed the reason for the loss was the Dragons'
inability to make effective plays under pressure, and then included
himself in the mix by his outburst against Barrett.

In a stunning display, Brown called Barrett, vice-captain Lance
Thompson and halfback Brett Firman to the sideline after Matt Cooper
had scored to level the scores at 12-all, with 27 minutes to play.

It was a critical stage of the game for the Dragons, who had come
through a poor handling period, completing just four of 11 sets, but
now looked to be back in the game.

Brown called the players aside to stress the importance of possession
and the need to get to their kick, and while attempting to stress his
point Brown slapped Barrett across the face and then jerked Thompson
by the sleeve as he attempted to head back to the field.

"I don't regret the blast, but I shouldn't have given him a clip,"
Brown said.

"The skipper has pulled me into line about it, as he should."

Canberra 36 defeated Parramatta 22


CANBERRA's unbeaten start to the NRL season continued today when they
stunned Parramatta at Parramatta Stadium.

The Raiders led 26-6 at halftime against the listless Eels, with the
home crowd booing their side off the ground at the break.

The league leaders then extended that lead by a further six points
only five minutes into the second half when Mark McLinden speared
between Steve Crouch and Alex Chan before sending winger Jamaal
Lolesi on a clear run to the line.

Clinton Schifcofske converted to make the score 32-6.

NSW fullback Brett Hodgson sparked an Eels fightback, scoring himself
in the 48th minute before making a break which led to a Pat Richards
try 18 minutes later, making the score 32-22.

But the game swung back the Raiders way with nine minutes remaining
when the visitors were awarded a controversial penalty.

Canberra captain Simon Woolford was injured in a tackle by
Parramatta's John Morris, but Tim Mander ignored shouts for a penalty
for a high tackle, saying: "That's fine."

But while Woolford was receiving treatment, video referee Bill
Harrigan had a look at the replay and told Mander the tackle was high.

Schifcofske kicked the penalty goal to make the score 34-22 before
adding another penalty goal with six minutes remaining.

CANBERRA RAIDERS 36 (L Davico J Croker C Schifcofske T Smith J Lolesi
tries; Schifcofske 8 goals) bt PARRAMATTA EELS 22 (D Vaealiki B

Manly 38 defeated Dragons 12


The Manly Sea Eagles completed a stunning form reversal to upset St
George Illawarra 38-12 at WIN Stadium.

Just a week after a loss that was labelled one of their worst
performances ever, the Sea Eagles embarrassed the Dragons with a
seven tries to two win.

Leading 12-6 at halftime, Manly let the Dragons back into the game
when Matt Cooper scored to level at 12-all in the 53rd minute, but
from there the game belonged to the visitors.

The Sea Eagles went on the rampage in the final 22 minutes of the
game, scoring five tries, including a double to Ben Walker.

Walker's second try, with 10 minutes remaining, put the Sea Eagles up
28-12, sparking incredible celebrations from his team mates and a
chorus of boos from the home crowd directed at the Dragons.

Leed 33 defeated St Helens 26 in Powergen Semi

Leeds were determined to win today's dramatic Powergen Challenge Cup
semi-final for Australian forward Matt Adamson, who looks set to miss
the final with a fractured cheekbone.

The former Penrith second rower sustained the injury in an accidental
collision with St Helens forward Darren Britt in the second tackle of
the match but played on until half-time and had to watch from the
sidelines as the Rhinos rallied to pull off an extra-time 33-26
victory at Huddersfield's McAlpine Stadium.

"We made a commitment to go out and win it for him," said Leeds
skipper Kevin Sinfield. "They're a special bunch of blokes I'm
playing with and we managed to do it."

The Rhinos will play the winners of tomorrow's second semi-final
between Bradford and Wigan at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on
Saturday, April 26.

Eagles just can't see the fairway for the trees

Phil Gould: ......before you can think about winning premierships,
beating top-ranked teams or even winning regularly, your first goal
is to work on keeping yourself in contention in every game you play,
regardless of the strength of your opposition.

If you can work on that, the wins will slowly start to come.
Consistency will improve. Confidence grows because reliability exists.

Manly need to be realistic about their abilities. At times they are
guilty of trying to play beyond them. This leads to mistakes and more
pressure. Pressure causes anxiety and shatters confidence.

There is no more intimidating place to be than out on the football
field in the NRL when you have lost all hope, the opposition is full
steam ahead and there is plenty of time left on the clock. It's not a
great place to be.

You have to work on avoiding these situations. Get yourself into the
back end of the game with the result still in the balance, and see if
you can frustrate your opposition out of it.

The more you get yourself into this position the better at it you
become. After a while you start expecting to be there and things fall
into place.

Manly, at the moment, remind me of those average golfers with an 18
handicap who try for a birdie on every hole. The goal is unrealistic.
They try to hit miracle shots on every swing, succeeding only in
getting deeper and deeper in trouble. As a result they finish with a
plethora of double and triple bogeys and very little enjoyment.

If they were just prepared to play for a bogey, keep the ball in play
and avoid the silly mistakes, they would manage to keep the really
big numbers off their cards. In time, they will start to make a few
more pars and enjoy the game a whole lot better.

Manly could do with a bit of this type of attitude control.

Sharp's future in hands of players

By Greg Prichard: The Manly players have coach Peter Sharp's future
in their hands over the next six weeks.

If they don't start to react to his coaching by getting results and
becoming genuine contenders for a finals spot, his chances of getting
another contract next year will be nil.

If it gets really ugly and losing becomes regular practice for them,
the risk is he may lose his job before the season is halfway over.

The Sea Eagles, after their capitulation at home against Wests Tigers
last weekend that was easily the low point of a three-game losing
streak to open the season, hope to start turning their season around
against St George Illawarra at WIN Stadium today.

A win would be great, but the bottom line as far as the club's
management is concerned - a bottom line that normally wouldn't have
to be stressed - is that they put in.

"What will be acceptable is every player going out and giving 100 per
cent," Manly chief executive Ian Thomson said yesterday.

"What came across to me last weekend was that they didn't have a real
go. They either weren't trying hard enough or they didn't know what
to do and I've seen them at training so I know they know what to do.
There wasn't enough effort there."

The players knew exactly how Thomson felt only minutes after the 38-
12 loss to the Tigers, a game in which Manly were way out of the
running at half-time, when they trailed 28-0.

The ferocity of the spray he gave them in the dressing-room could be
heard by media waiting outside for the post-match conference.

Thomson said he hadn't gone to the dressing-room with a pre-meditated
plan to blast them, but had felt gripped by the necessity once he
arrived.

"I just said to Sharpie, 'I want to say something' and it just came
out," he said. "I told them it looked to me like some of them were
intimidated by some of the Wests Tigers players and I used [Tigers
and former Manly centre] Terry Hill as an example.

"I could tell from the body language of the players they knew exactly
what I was talking about. I'd expect they would've had a good look at
themselves in the mirror since then."

Sharp is in the final year of his contract. As far as his future as
coach is concerned, Thomson said it would be determined by results.

"Sharpie knows he's got to get this team into the finals if he wants
the job again next year," Thomson said. "If they don't make the eight
he's not a certainty to lose the job, but there won't be any
guarantees.

"The board had its regular meeting on Tuesday night and it was
decided that was how things would continue to stand. Peter Sharp's
coaching future is not an issue at this stage."

Asked what would happen if the losses kept coming at an alarming
rate, Thomson replied: "That's purely hypothetical and speculative.
No line has been drawn in the sand.

"I sat down with Peter on Monday to talk about what happened last
weekend and he remains very positive in his belief that we can turn
this around. He's very positive about what the team is capable of and
so am I. Now I want to see it from the players."

Roosters 32 defeated Cowboys 0

Fitzgibbon kicks on to record and Rooster win.

By Steve Mascord: Sydney Roosters second-rower Craig Fitzgibbon last
night celebrated his imminent re-signing with the premiers by
cracking the 600-point barrier.

The man of the match in the Roosters' 2002 grand final and 2003 World
Club Challenge victories booted five goals as his side weathered a
torrid first half to beat North Queensland 32-0 at Dairy Farmers
Stadium.

That took the former Steeler and Dragon to 606 points for the
tricolours in only 84 first-grade games.

By the end of this week, he is tipped to sign a contract for as long
as five years with the Roosters, giving him the opportunity to
challenge the club's all-time pointscoring record of 903, held by
Allan McKean.

North Queensland had started the second half with victory within
reach, but when lock Glenn Morrison was penalised close to his own
line, a Fitzgibbon penalty goal made it 16-0, and from there the
Roosters didn't look back.

Fitzgibbon even found time for a running battle with Cowboys prop
Jaiman Lowe after an altercation in centre field early in the second
half.

"You two can belt each other [in tackles] all night but I don't want
you sledging in scrums," referee Steve Lyons said after pulling the
warring forwards out for a caution.

Fitzgibbon and Lowe could be heard over Lyons' microphone exchanging
barbs such as "come on" and "now's your chance".

The Roosters made sure of victory when fullback Anthony Minichiello
made a break from a kick return in the 54th minute to lay the
foundations for centre Justin Hodges to score in the right corner.

Melbourne Storm 18 defeated Sharks 12

Storm's Slater the hero

YOUNG sensation Billy Slater scored two spectacular tries as
Melbourne defeated a luckless Cronulla in the NRL match at Olympic
Park tonight.

The Sharks, who have yet to win a match this season, had two tries
controversially disallowed by video referee Phil Cooley.

In an error-riddled match it was somehow appropriate Storm winger
Marcus Bai, who had made as many mistakes as anybody, was on hand to
score the winning try in the 73rd minute.

Cronulla's former Storm halfback Brett Kimmorley set up two of his
team's tries, but he would be ruing his inability to kick any of his
three conversion attempts in a match where both teams scored three
tries.

Souths score first win

SOUTH SYDNEY broke an 11-match losing streak tonight with a thrilling
victory over Wests Tigers in their NRL clash at Aussie Stadium.

The Rabbitohs celebrated like they had won a grand final when winger
Nathan Merritt raced 80m to score the match-winner after they led 26-
22 in the dying stages with the Tigers pressing the line.

Souths coach Paul Langmack will feel an enormous weight off his
shoulders after notching his maiden victory for the club to improve
the side's record to 1-4.

Goal-kicking second-rower Justin Smith booted six goals out of six
attempts and scored two tries for a personal haul of 20 points.

The Rabbitohs inflicted their revenge on the Tigers, who beat them 58-
12 in a pre-season trial, which preceded the sacking of Craig Coleman
as coach, and 50-4 at Aussie Stadium in round 21 last year.

They led 26-22 following a 57th minute try to Smith and held on
grimly to give their fans hope for the 2003 season.

LONDON BRONCOS HIT THE ROAD AGAIN

By Ian Laybourn: London Broncos are to take their Tetley's Super
League game against Widnes on Sunday, June 8, to Aberavon Rugby Union
Club.

It will be the sixth year in a row that the pioneering Broncos have
taken a home match 'on the road'.

They played Warrington in Newport three years ago, have also staged
fixtures in Leicester and Edinburgh - and last year went to the south
of France while Griffin Park was being reseeded.

With Bridgend set to submit a Super League application, combined with
the amount of rugby league development in the region, Aberavon was
seen as a perfect option for the game.

Broncos chief executive Nic Cartwright said: "Whilst we would prefer
to be playing all our home games at Griffin Park, this is a good
opportunity for the game of rugby league to showcase itself to a key
market.

"Our fans understand our position and have been supportive over the
years whenever we take a game on the road. We have, I believe, the
most resilient group of fans in the country."

The news has been welcomed by Widnes director of rugby Neil Kelly,
who is the Wales coach.

"Obviously we've got a number of players in the Welsh team and we
trained at Aberavon in the build-up to the game against New Zealand
last November," he said.

"It will be good for them to go back to south Wales and show the fans
what they can do in a Super League game. It should prove an ideal
advert for rugby league in the build-up to the autumn internationals."

Koopu steps up to be Warriors key man

Wairangi Koopu is the fittest man in the Warriors National Rugby
League club, says his coach Daniel Anderson.

Koopu yesterday got a big rap from his boss for his 80-minute work
ethic.

"He's the second-fastest forward - behind PJ Marsh - and it's always
him, PJ and Monty (Betham) carrying the others up," Anderson said.

"They're sprinting and it leads the others, gets them sprinting too,
and even the props are getting up there.

"The others feed off it.

"Wairangi is in the best form he's shown since I've been here."

Koopu topped the tackle count against Souths last weekend with 29,
and recognises that the head-down work is a big part of his game,
while others with superior ball skills command the attack.

He hasn't stifled the attacking part of his game.

"It's just the way the play has rolled my way, I guess. I've had to
make a lot of tackles."

It is physically demanding work. Koopu is one of five Warriors who
lose weight during the season.

Koopu was 106kg when he came through the Warriors' development squad,
and has quickly established himself as a regular first-grader, but
his work has mainly been from the bench.

This season, at around 100kg, he's stepped up to start after injuries
to Awen Guttenbeil and Ali Lauiti'iti, and is enjoying playing the
full 80 minutes or close to it.

Gold Coast Council tough on Carrara upgrade

PROPONENTS of an ambitious multimillion-dollar plan to upgrade the
Carrara sporting complex to attract rugby league teams face a tough
fight for city council funding.

A confidential report to the council advised councillors to ask for
more detailed costings from Gold Coast NRL Bid Team which had asked
the City Council to commit more than $10 million of ratepayer money
to the upgrade.

The report, prepared by the economic development and major projects
department, also recommended that Mayor Gary Baildon meet with
executives from the National Rugby League to clarify future licence
possibilities.

But a number of councillors yesterday said it was unlikely the
proposal would be supported.

One councillor suggested the costs had been 'underestimated' and was
more likely to be between $20 million and $30 million.

Councillors will debate the viability of the proposals at next
Friday's full council meeting.

Hagan hails gritty team of heroes

By Steve Mascord and Brad Walter

Newcastle 12 defeated Bulldogs 6

Michael Hagan last night broke his first-grade coaching duck against
his former club - and then declared Newcastle's gripping victory over
the Bulldogs as "probably the best team effort I've seen".

The former Canterbury five-eighth has tasted only defeat against the
Dogs since he took over the Knights' reins three years ago - most
notably a one-point loss in the corresponding game last year after
his side led 19-0.

Last night, he gave his charges the weekend off after they ground out
a gripping 12-6 win at EnergyAustralia Stadium, their first win over
the Belmore boys since the end of 2000.

"That's probably the best team effort I've seen and one of the best
club games I've ever seen," Hagan said after a lightning-fast,
tremendously physical opening to round five.

"The boys will sleep well tonight - they should be very proud of
themselves."

Knights skipper Andrew Johns, again a hero when the result was in
doubt, said the Novocastrians had proved their title credibility,
adding: "We know we're up to the task - we set the standard and now
we've got to live up to it."

Newcastle 12 defeated Bulldogs 6

Newcastle exacted revenge on the Bulldogs with a hard-fought 12-6
victory in the lowest-scoring NRL match of the season at
EnergyAustralia Stadium.

There were only three tries scored and, as ever, a moment of class
from Andrew Johns ultimately clinched the two competition points for
the Knights.

Trailing 6-4 three minutes before halftime, Johns burst to life with
a great cut-out pass to winger Timana Tahu, who dived over in the
right corner, narrowly avoiding putting his hand into touch.

The Newcastle captain then slotted the conversion from the sideline
and added a penalty goal in a tryless second half to consolidate the
Knights' position in the top eight.

Tahu's try was the highlight of an otherwise forgettable night for
the Test winger, who made a series of unfortunate blunders to heap
pressure on his team.

The win would have been extra sweet for Michael Hagan's team after
Bulldogs winger Hazem El Masri's dramatic after-the-bell conversion
from the sideline had given the Canterbury side a thrilling 22-21
triumph in the corresponding fixture last year.

Johns had been uncharacteristically quiet and also made a couple of
uncustomary errors before his decisive impact just before the
interval gave the Knights a buffer they refused to relinquish.

After falling behind through a Robbie O'Davis four-pointer midway
through the first half, the Bulldogs looked like going into the break
with a slight advantage when winger El Masri converted a Willie Talau
try in the 33rd minute.

Eighth Kangaroos - 1952/53

Australia's memorable Ashes clinching victory in Sydney in 1950, the
team went into a dramatic downturn losing to France (1951) and New
Zealand (1952).

The Kangaroo touring team of 1952/53 was under enormous pressure to
perform to the level expected of Australia's best footballers. With
21 NSW players and 7 from Queensland, the tourists were captained by
25 year old Clive Churchill. The team's youngest player was a 19 year
old Brian Carlson.

The Kangaroos' record at the end of the tour provides impressive
reading - 33 wins from 40 games, 1117 points for and 373 against.
Unfortunately four of the losses were in Tests and were enough to
ensure that Britain and France both beat the Aussies.

In the First Ashes Test the British outplayed the Kangaroos easily by
19-6. Hopes were high for the 2nd Test after Australia crushed some
of England's best club sides. However, the Kangaroos again failed to
perform in the Test atmosphere and were humbled by 21-5. The Ashes
were once again back with England. In a brawling and spiteful 3rd
Test Australia won by 27-7 to salvage some pride.

The tour then moved to France where there was no drop off in quality
in the opposition - this was a golden era of French rugby league.
Australia started well by winning the First Test in a fine display in
Paris by 16-12. In the 2nd Test France scored a converted try in the
opening minutes to take a 5-0 lead and held it for the rest of the
game. The Kangaroos felt aggrieved at the referee's performance, but
things only got worse in the 3rd Test.

The Australians were beaten by 13-5 as the French were given free
reign in obstructions and second tackles. In a bizarre incident Keith
Holman was sent off for swearing at the referee. He refused to leave
the field claiming he'd done no such thing. After Australia's team
manager and an interpreter came onto the field, the matter was
settled and Holman was allowed to stay.

There is no doubt that the Kangaroos were a good side - with players
such as Churchill, Holman, Stanmore, Wells, Carlson, Hall, Davies,
Schubert and Kearney they had the talent. But in the end they simply
failed to win the games that mattered.

Upon returning home the Kangaroo tourists opened the 1953 season with
a game against "The Rest" at the SCG, before 20,000, winning 33-21.

Mondays question to the League Coach eGroup


Posted by Sean

Question: What makes a good captain, what are the main points?



Answer by Daryn Reeds: If we get this to a definite answer we should
bottle
it, sell it and count a fortune !

A few bullet points that are important for a captain:

* Understanding of the game-plan for on-field decision making;
* leadership both through intelligence and example;
* ability to think quickly to adjust game-plan to the game situation;
* communication both "up" to the coaching staff and "down" to the
players.

These are i think the most important attributes though we could keep
going with things like "media presence" if we're talking about elite
level too.

There are also other aspects for e.g. that you may prefer to have a
captain play at 5/8 ....

With the above, you get a captain who understands the overall
strategy of the game-plan, who can lead the team both through his
intellect and through the example which he sets, who can apply his
intelligence
to adjust the game-plan according to what's happening on the field
and who can communicate these are other decisions with both the
coaching staff and with the players.

I hope this is a start !

cheers

Daryn
