Raiders left cold The Canberra Raiders lost their third NRL game in as many weeks today. It's already time for Penrith to look to next seasonAfter their latest loss, there is only one realistic aim left for the Panthers this season: to avoid the wooden spoon. And even that is going to be a massive battle. Teams are a-changing: Fitzgibbon Sydney Roosters captain Craig Fitzgibbon says tonight's game against the Bulldogs provides a stark reminder of how much his team has changed since it last played in a grand final. Raiders left cold; ref cops heat The wind roared off the snow-clad Snowy Mountains, but the -2 C temperature rose dramatically at Canberra Stadium when big men Logan and Galloway traded left jabs and right hooks. Strange days indeed: Hannay going, Kennedy back Axed Cronulla centre Josh Hannay is set to join the Cardiff-based Celtic Crusaders in Britain's second-tier rugby league competition. Manly bandwagon hitting skids Manly players barely had time to field questions before the wheels on their bus went round and round. Dunce hats for Manly, but watch this new boy Rangi In the end the Dragons held on to secure a narrow win and temporarily end their exasperating stay at the bottom of the premiership ladder. Baby Dragons run hot After a dour, mistake-ridden first half that finished 6-all, fans could rightly have expected the Dragons to butcher another brace of tries and bring a misfiring Manly down to their level.

Minichiello might not return NEW doubts have emerged over whether former Golden Boot winner Anthony Minichiello will return from a back injury this season. Zero to hero for former Raider TODD Payten exorcised some demons by leading Wests Tigers to victory over Canberra - and then said the club would have "rocks in their head" to let go Brett Hodgson.

Injury Prevention Some Training Ideas
Written by Doug King
Having the players fit and well for the season is the ultimate goal of any Coach and Management team within the game.
There is nothing more frustrating than having players injured within the team and knowing that there is a time factor to getting them back fit and well. However, what if there was some way to reduce the risk of the player becoming injured.
Injuries within Rugby League can be classified as occurring in two main groups. There are those that are not preventable and those that are preventable (muscle imbalances, lack of fitness, decreased agility).
If we were to stop those injuries that are not preventable then the game would not be the same as we see it now. However, it's the preventable injuries that we can target and work on to decrease the risk of injury at all levels of Rugby League.
Below is a suggested eight-week rotating programme that can be incorporated into any training routine, or else the players can do this either at home or in the gym. This routine is not designed to take over from any training routine but is designed to compliment the training ongoing and should be adjusted to suit the individual player.
To do this routine you should have access to some dumbbells or similar weights that can be held in each hand and are able to be increased in weight as the program goes on.
As well, access is needed to a stretchable cord or tubing approximately two - three metres in length and either a wobble board or a "soft" medicine ball that can be depressed when you stand on it.
The better medicine balls are the "live" balls that have the ability to bounce when thrown but check that you can stand on these before you use them.
The use of a knee-high bench is also advantageous as this can give you some variability. The use of a training diary and a stopwatch can be handy especially if you want to monitor your progress as well.
The routine is based on four stages where you progress from Stage 1 through to Stage 4 over the eight weeks and do the exercises three times a week.
Once you have completed this you return to week one starting again on these activities but measuring your progress to see how much you have improved.
These exercises should be done before any other training activities as they require a high degree of co-ordination to be completed and fatigue tends to restrict the co-ordination and reduces the good form required to be utilised with the exercises.
It is suggested that players do these exercises after their warm up, but before their other training as they stimulate the nervous system and can assist in the challenges of other workouts.
Stage 1: This stage consists of six exercises all aimed at strength and balance of the legs, but also indirectly help the upper body with co-ordination.
This stage takes two weeks (wks 1 - 2).
