NRL Club News from SMH - Tuesday 

By Steve Mascord

ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA

Dragons vice-captain Lance Thompson, who was not expected to play 
again this season after fracturing his foot in round 15, will make a 
comeback against Penrith on Sunday. Centre Mark Gasnier (quadriceps) 
is out for at least two weeks, while hooker Mark Riddell can escape 
suspension if he enters an early guilty plea to a striking charge.

BRISBANE

New Zealand sevens rugby union representative Jason Tiatia has signed 
with the Broncos for the rest of the season. Tiatia, a 24-year-old 
winger or fullback, is a former Junior Kiwi who signed for Penrith as 
an 18-year-old but stayed in rugby. "They don't know what I play like 
and want to have a good look at me with this weekend in mind," he 
told NZPA.

BULLDOGS

Dogs hooker Corey Hughes faces a two- or three-week suspension after 
he was charged yesterday with dropping his knees in a tackle.

CANBERRA

Raiders prop Luke Davico is expected to miss at least two weeks with 
knee and ankle damage to the right leg. Skipper Simon Woolford was 
charged with a careless high tackle but he will escape suspension, 
whether or not he challenges the allegation.

CRONULLA

Injured props Chris Beattie (back) and Jason Stevens (knee) are 
unlikely to be named tonight for Saturday's encounter with Brisbane, 
but each is a chance of being a late inclusion.

MANLY

Sea Eagles officials were last night unsure whether Brendon Reeves 
(back), Chad Randall (ankle), Ben Walker and Ben MacDougall (both 
hamstring) would be available for selection tonight when coach Peter 
Sharp names his side to take on Newcastle this Sunday.

MELBOURNE

The Storm and the Warriors will contest the Mick Moore Trophy on 
Saturday night, named after the Melbourne football manager who died 
three years ago when he hit his head diving into Auckland Harbour 
after a match between the clubs. "I don't need to go to Auckland to 
think of him," said five-eighth Matt Geyer. "I've got a picture of 
him above my computer at home and I miss him. It's up to each 
individual how they address it."

NEWCASTLE

The beleaguered Knights are expected to add four internationals 
tonight when coach Michael Hagan names his side to play Manly on 
Sunday: Andrew Johns, Ben Kennedy, Danny Buderus and Adam MacDougall.

PARRAMATTA

The Eels yesterday confirmed the signings of Wests Tigers' Corey 
Pearson, Sydney's Eric Grothe, St George Illawarra's Craig Stapleton 
and South Sydney's Wise Kativerata.

PENRITH

Panthers officials were happy with forward Colin Ward's comeback from 
a broken arm on Sunday but Shane Rodney (groin) is in serious doubt 
for Sunday's trip to WIN Stadium.

SOUTH SYDNEY

NSW under-17s centre Troy Boston has signed with the Rabbitohs for 
the next three years. "I'd like to play like Matthew Gidley," Boston 
said yesterday.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS

On Friday night, Canberra will line up against a different Todd 
Payten from the one who left the club last year. Roosters football 
manager Brian Canavan said Payten was 122 kilograms when he arrived 
at the premiers' camp this year but now weighed just 112kg.

WARRIORS

Halfback Stacey Jones will be out for two weeks with a groin injury 
suffered in last Friday night's Test defeat.

WESTS TIGERS

The Tigers are trying to hold on to Wigan lock Nick Graham, who was 
to join them next year but has reportedly received an approach from 
Brisbane. A finger injury is unlikely to keep skipper Darren Senter 
out of Saturday night's encounter with Parramatta.

Angry Anderson takes a step back 

By Steve Mascord and Jacquelin Magnay

Besieged coach Chris Anderson last night extended an olive branch to 
Cronulla directors, admitting he had been too "blunt" in trying to 
enact change at the club.

It is understood some Sharks directors met informally yesterday 
evening to discuss Anderson's remarkable ultimatum issued after 
Sunday's loss to Canberra: support me or sack me.

The directors have a scheduled meeting tonight, at which Anderson's 
position is certain to be discussed. NSW utility Phil Bailey is the 
only Sharks player to have a "get-out" clause in his contract should 
the national coach be shown the door.

But captain Brett Kimmorley said: "A lot of players came here to play 
under Chris. If Chris isn't here, then I don't know what the 
situation [with] player strength would be. We don't really want to 
play under another coach."

Anderson last night stepped back from his confrontational stance, 
insisting his top priority was to find a way to serve the remaining 
year of his contract.

He said he apologised if he had offended directors and former coach 
John Lang with his oft-stated determination to introduce a winning 
culture at the Sharks.

"They got offended by the fact I came in and said we needed to change 
the culture," said Anderson, who admitted on Sunday the controversy 
was affecting his health.

"They took that personally and it was never meant that way.

"The people in the place can change the culture, it's just having an 
acceptance to change.

"And maybe my bull-at-a-gate style isn't compatible with people being 
given time to buy into what I'm about.

"And maybe I was a little bit blunt, I suppose, with the way I wanted 
to do it. I guess when you get a bit older in life and staid in your 
ways, you do get a little bit like that.

"So I'll put my hand up and say, 'Maybe I didn't explain enough to 
them' - I didn't understand that they didn't understand."

Anderson's peace offering improves his chances of surviving tonight's 
meeting - which he is not expected to attend - and a football club 
summit on August 5 with his job intact.

He denied he had brought the issue to a head in order to push for a 
payout of some $450,000 and a couple of comfortable years off.

Kangaroo tours may end 

By Steve Ricketts 

THE six-match end-of-season Kangaroo tour of Britain and France could 
be the last.

Instead, a Tri-series involving Australia, Britain and New Zealand 
will be played in Britain at the end of the next three NRL seasons 
with a World Cup likely to be held in Australia in 2007. 

It is a format that drew a mixed reaction yesterday from Australia's 
most capped player Mal Meninga, who made a record four Kangaroo tours 
of Britain and France between 1982 and 1994, the last two as skipper. 

Meninga said yesterday the British League might struggle to keep its 
elite players in the face of rugby union bids if there were no tours 
to the southern hemisphere.

"I like the Tri-series idea, but they should spread it around," 
Meninga said. 

"It wouldn't cost any more to hold it here and I'm sure the Poms 
would love the odd trip to Australia. 

"At least there appears to be some sort of continuity now to the 
international program, although it is sad to see 'Roo tours 
scrapped." 

Brisbane Broncos coach Wayne Bennett advocated the Tri-series last 
year and he also envisaged the tournament would be shared around. 

Former British Test forward Denis Betts said yesterday it was 
staggering the idea of a full-scale tour of Australia should be 
discarded when nearly 10,000 supporters followed the last side "down 
under" in 1992.

"We won the second Test in Melbourne and the decider at Lang Park 
went down to the wire," Betts said. 

"You have a chance to improve on tour but it is tough to play one-off 
matches against Australia." 

ARL chief executive Geoff Carr said it was the British League that 
had pushed to host the Tri-series from 2004-06 to help with its bid 
to renegotiate television rights to the game. 

"The Tri-series will add spice to their claims for a better deal," 
Carr said. 

"Teams from the northern hemisphere will be here for the World Sevens 
in February and we hope to stage a big event, like a World Cup, to 
coincide with the centenary of the game in Australia and New Zealand 
in 2007." 

Carr confirmed this year's Kangaroos would play a match at Perpignan 
in France before opening the British leg of the trip with a match 
against England A in London on October 28. 

The International Federation meeting on the Gold Coast broke up 
yesterday with Australia and New Zealand to hold further talks over 
when to hold two Tests next year.

Why Anderson lost support 

By James Hooper

A CRONULLA director last night revealed the extraordinary moment he 
and fellow board members fell out with Sharks coach Chris Anderson.

It was before a mid-season match last year when board members 
routinely boarded the team bus travelling to an away match. 

Displaying the qualities which won him premiership success at two NRL 
clubs, Anderson walked on the bus and told each board member to get 
off. 

 From now on, Anderson said, the team bus would be for players only. 

The fact it was pouring rain at the time did little to enhance 
Anderson's demand as the directors were forced to get taxis. 

The director did not wish to be named but admitted it was the moment 
when Anderson started to lose much of his support from the board. 

Anderson will meet today with his manager George Mimis, Sharks 
chairman Barry Pierce and club general manager Steve Rogers to 
discuss the issue ahead of a board meeting tonight. 

Anderson has demanded the board either support him or sack him as the 
situation at the Cronulla club continues to deteriorate. 

"What is at stake here is the future of Cronulla," Anderson said.

TONY SMITH TURNS DOWN NEW DEAL 

Huddersfield Giants coach Tony Smith has turned down the club's offer 
of a contract extension for the Tetley's Super League 2004 and 2005 
seasons.

Giants chief executive Ralph Rimmer said: "Tony Smith has held talks 
with the club over the last few weeks during which he had sought a 
significant rise in the playing budget for season 2004.

"He aspires to a much larger playing budget than our salary cap will 
provide for next season.

"He feels that given a resource of that size he could have a 
significant impact at the very top of this competition and I 
personally have very little doubt that a coach of his ability would 
win silverware in that situation.

"The Huddersfield Giants continue to grow and develop at a good rate 
but for next season we will not be in a position to provide Tony with 
the level of resource that he seeks - even with our chairman's 
substantial backing.

"Like all other Super League clubs we must comply with the salary cap 
regulations and can only develop our playing budget at the rate at 
which the business grows.

"I would stress that all our discussions have been very amicable and 
I would give the highest possible praise to Tony Smith for the work 
he has done at the club over the last three years or so.

Guns roar but it's all academic 

By RAY ANDERSEN
THE North Queensland Young Guns' semi-final hopes may be over but 
they are still intent on having an impact on this year's Queensland 
Cup.

The Young Guns were too strong for bottom-placed Wests in Ayr on 
Saturday night, beating the Panthers 42-6. 

With both teams out of semi-finals contention the result meant little 
but it has at least given the Young Guns some confidence heading into 
the final four games of the season. 

Next week the Young Guns travel south to play Tweed Heads who are in 
fifth place on the ladder and fighting for a place in the finals. 

Thomson has set his team the goal of a strong finish to a 
disappointing season, starting with next weekend's match. 

"We want to finish the season solidly," Thomson said yesterday. 

"We've got Tweed Heads next week who are on the threshold of the five 
and we can put a dent in their season if we get a win." 

The Young Guns were in control of the match against Wests at 
halftime, leading 18-0 despite some poor ball security, before 
finishing off the visitors in the second period. 

"In the second half I was very pleased with their effort," Thomson 
said. 

"We scored some good, smart tries and put in some good defence." 

Thomson was reluctant to single out any players for special mention 
although he did credit halves Aaron Payne and Michael Meigan, who 
scored two tries, for being the architects of the win. 

"It was a good team effort," Thomson said. 

"We did not have a lot of standouts. Everyone pulled their weight 
which was good. 

"At the end of the day that's what we're looking for." 

Centre Jason Barsley failed to finish the match after hurting his leg 
in the pre-game warm-up. 

The injury is believed to be a hamstring strain and will be checked 
by medical staff today.

Sing eclipses own record as purple patch continues 

By ADAM GARDINI

COWBOYS winger Matt Sing capped a brilliant fortnight across every 
level of rugby league by breaking his own club record for most tries 
in a season when he crossed for his 17th four-pointer of the year 
yesterday.

The try marked his seventh in just 12 days following a hat-trick for 
Queensland in State-of-Origin III, a double for Australia in Friday 
night's Test and one for the Cowboys last weekend. 

It also moved Sing alongside Penrith flyer Rhys Wesser at the top of 
the National Rugby League's try-scoring list. 

His coach Graham Murray was able to contribute some humour when asked 
of Sing's try-scoring abilities before paying tribute to the 29-year-
old's stellar season. 

"He's done well hasn't he? That's not counting touch footy or 
anything," Murray said. 

"He was terrific in the Origin series, he deserved his Australian 
jumper and today, after backing up from Friday night, he kicked away 
from a pretty good fullback in Luke Patten -- it was a pleasure to 
watch. 

"And if he's at the top of the try-scoring it's not a fluke, he 
deserves every one of them." 

However Sing, showing no effects of the Test match he had played less 
than 48 hours beforehand, indicated leading the NRL's try-scoring 
list at the end of the season would only be a bonus. 

"I wasn't really thinking about it (the record) too much and was just 
lucky to get a good ball and got a try," Sing said. 

"I just want to play well for the club at the Cowboys and just see 
how it goes from there and if I'm up there at the end it's a bonus."

SAINTS RESPOND TO WAKE-UP CALL 

Wakefield 15-36 St Helens
Tetley's Super League

Tetley's Super League champions St Helens were given a real scare by 
a Wakefield side struggling at the foot of the table before finally 
stamping their authority on the game late on.

Wakefield's Michael Korkidas was sent off for throwing a punch in the 
tackle and Saints had two players sinbinned - Stuart Jones and Tim 
Jonkers - for interference at the play the ball in the second half.

That opened the game up and Wakefield pressed hard at St Helens, who 
clung on before extending their advantage late in the match.

Wakefield had raced into a 14-0 lead midway through the first half 
but St Helens had taken charge by the half-time break.

The home side started like an express train and had St Helens on the 
back foot with tries from Ben Jeffries and Jamie Rooney, who 
converted both and also kicked a penalty.

St Helens scored tries through John Stankevitch, Sean Long and Paul 
Wellens - all converted by Long - while Wakefield could only muster a 
Rooney drop goal in response as the visitors led 18-15 at the 
interval.

Wakefield threw everything at St Helens but the visitors held their 
24-15 advantage which they had established two minutes into the 
second half with a try by Darren Albert, converted by Long.

And Long made certain of the win with an easy interception try, which 
he also goaled, 10 minutes from time. Albert added his second try 
seven minutes from the end, converted by Long who finished with 20 
points to his credit.

BRADFORD CLOSE THE GAP 


Castleford 20-40 Bradford

Tetley's Super League

Bradford Bulls closed the gap on West Yorkshire neighbours Leeds 
Rhinos to two points with a game-in-hand at the top of the Tetley's 
Super League, after their 40-20 win at Castleford. 

Second-placed Bulls recovered from 16-6 down in the first half to 
overpower Tigers in a pulsating clash at The Jungle.

Bulls hit back to lead 18-16 at half-time and never looked in danger 
in the second half. They sealed victory with two tries in the last 
nine minutes from Lee Gilmour and Tevita Vaikona.

Paul Mellor and Wayne Godwin were hauled down just short of the line 
as Castleford made all the early running after capitalising on 
several errors by Bradford.

Tigers missed a golden chance when Dale Fritz burst clear after 
swooping on a loose ball but he was unable to find the supporting 
Waine Pryce.

Bulls weathered the storm before taking the lead in their first 
serious attack when Paul Deacon weaved through for a try he also 
goalled.

Castleford quickly responded when winger Darren Rogers finished crisp 
handling to go over.

Tigers soon struck again when Danny Orr put Michael Eagar in for a 
touchdown that Mitch Healey converted.

Bulls were rocked again when Healey's kick set up a try for Waine 
Pryce and Orr added a touchline conversion.

Bradford cut the gap to four points when Leon Pryce scored from James 
Lowes' kick.

Bulls regained the lead shortly before the interval when Lee Radford 
went in from close range and Deacon kicked his third goal.

Bradford stretched their advantage two minutes into the second half 
when Scott Naylor burst over from Stuart Reardon's pass.

The game fell further away from Castleford when Deacon made the 
opening for Daniel Gartner to power over.

Waine Pryce's second try put Tigers 30-20 behind but their fate was 
sealed when Gilmour's 71st-minute try was followed by a late score 
from Vaikona. Deacon added his sixth goal.

SLIPPERY EELS 

By Scott Brooks 

It's amazing what the return of your best player and a bit of 
uniformity around the halves can do for a team. For most of this 
season the Parramatta Eels and Brian Smith have been under the pump 
for poor performances, after 13 rounds of the NRL they had only 
managed three wins. People could not fathom how a club once so 
dominant could be languishing so low on the ladder.

But just a month after Smith sheepishly proclaimed that his side 
would provide 'nuisance value'to the top clubs in the run home to the 
finals, the Eels are back in the semi-final frame themselves.

Jones out for 2-3 weeks - Warriors doctor 

Stacey Jones is expected to be sidelined from the New Zealand 
Warriors for 2-3 weeks after suffering a groin strain in Friday's 
trans-Tasman league test. 

Jones was examined today by Warriors team doctor Chris Hanna, who 
expected at least a two-week break for the star playmaker. 

That would mean he would miss this weekend's home game against 
Melbourne and the away game against St George Illawarra the following 
week. 

The round 23 away clash with Newcastle could be a possible comeback 
date, and a rematch with opposite number and playmaking wizard Andrew 
Johns. 

A Warriors spokesman said Jones would be checked again later in the 
week to get a clearer idea of how long he would be sidelined. 

Warriors coach Daniel Anderson said after Friday's 6-48 loss to the 
Kangaroos in Sydney that the time off may benefit Jones, who had 
hardly any off-season break due to the Kiwis tour to England and 
France last year.

Tri-Nations Replaces League World Cup 

Written by: League Correspondent 

A new annual Tri-Nations series involving Australia, New Zealand and 
Great Britain will replace the World Cup and the Lions tours until at 
least 2006. 

The Rugby League International Federation confirmed that the 
competition will be hosted by Great Britain for the next three years. 

The decision effectively puts the next World Cup, scheduled for 2005, 
on ice, principally because of the financial problems and largely 
uncompetitive nature of the 2000 tournament. 

It is hoped that the Tri-Nations concept will capitalise on growing 
interest in the forthcoming Australia tour of Britain, with ticket 
sales for the second Test at Hull's Kingston Communications Stadium 
on 15 November approaching 15,000. 

"The reports on the tour preparations are very encouraging," said 
chairman Colin Love. 

"It was agreed that three different referees will be used in the 
three Tests, with the individual appointments to be agreed between 
the ARL and the RFL later in the year. 

"There's no doubt the Tri-Nations events over the next three years 
will build on the interest we are already seeing in the game in 
England."

Wales 48 defeated Scotland 22 

By Simon Davies

Wales, the reigning amateur four nations rugby league champions, made 
up for last month's defeat in Ireland by scoring six second-half 
tries to pull away from a spirited Scotland side who had matched them 
up to the break. 

Scotland took an early lead through a Barry Edgar penalty, and 
extended their advantage to 8-0 on 8 minutes when James MacKay raced 
over after picking up a spilled bomb. Wales replied with a Michael 
Healy penalty and drew level on 17 minutes when Mark Bow set up 
Cardiff teammate Mark Dando to go in from ten yards out.

Aberavon's Dean Scully latched on to a bullet pass from Healy for the 
only other try of a well-contested first half. Scotland kept in touch 
through further penalty goals from Glasgow Bulls full-back Edgar, 
leaving Wales with a narrow 14-12 interval lead.

But the second half was a different story as the home side began to 
dominate. Prop forward Wes Palmer, playing his first game since his 
return from Australia with the Great Britain student tour, took the 
ball in with a powerful run from 30 yards out to extend the Welsh 
lead to six points, only to see Scotland strike back a minute later 
when Calum Morrison scored in the corner from a fine Scotland move.

Two tries within three minutes, the first a great passing movement 
finished off by winger Sean O'Brien and the second a moment of 
opportunism from Scully after a kick ahead by Healy, pushed the Welsh 
advantage to 14. 

Scotland responded with a Matt Stevens try set up by scrum-half Al 
Stewart of London Skolars to bring the score back to 30-22, but the 
visitors were unable to cross the Welsh line again.

Swansea's Simon Bevan grabbed two tries in the last quarter and in 
between Healy put Welsh captain John Byers in for another as the home 
side went away with a convincing 26 points victory.

Hughes facing three-match ban 

The Bulldogs could lose utility player Corey Hughes for up to three 
matches after he was charged by the National Rugby League with 
dropping his knees. 

The grade two offence carries a two-match suspension for an early 
guilty plea, but his blemished record means Hughes will be outed for 
three games if he unsuccessfully contests the case at the judiciary 
on Wednesday night. 

St George Illawarra hooker Mark Riddell was charged with grade one 
striking but can narrowly avoid a one-match ban if he enters an early 
guilty plea. 

Canberra hooker Simon Woolford will escape a suspension for a grade 
one careless high tackle.

Rabbitohs snare exciting junior 

SOUTH Sydney today secured the services of exciting junior Troy 
Boston for the next three National Rugby League seasons.

Boston, 17, has signed with the Rabbitohs until the completion of the 
2005 season, with the club also having the option of keeping him for 
the 2006 campaign.

The highly rated South Eastern junior equally comfortable at centre, 
wing, or fullback represented the NSW under-17 and captained the 
Souths SG Ball side this year.

He recently helped the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges reach the final 
of the national schoolboys' championship in Darwin.

Souths chief executive David Tapp welcomed the snaring of Boston, who 
joins teammate Beau Champion in the elite Souths junior squad. 

"Troy is one of what we believe are three really outstanding juniors 
the others being Champion and Buddy Gordon whom we have targeted to 
stay here on long-term arrangements," said Tapp.

"We signed Champion last week, and we are in the process of 
completing a deal for Gordon.

"Troy is a really exciting backline prospect, and we think he'll 
prove an excellent addition to the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

"This is all part of our plan to work more closely with Souths 
Juniors to identify and develop elite junior talent, which will soon 
evolve into the Rabbitohs elite junior squad."

Boston, who rates the great Clive Churchill as the ultimate Souths 
player, said he tried to model his game on Newcastle's NSW State of 
Origin centre Matthew Gidley.

"He's a very hard runner and great passer, which are things I like to 
apply to my game," he said.

"I'm very happy to be a Rabbitoh, Beau (Champion) and I are really 
looking forward to being part of the team in the future."

Tapp said Souths would also grant 12 more juniors scholarships to the 
club.
