Good morning from Australia's Gold Coast.
Slater's leg pulled and twisted in tackle: Bellamy
Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy hits back at the latest wave of accusations levelled at the premiership favourite.
ST GEORGE Illawarra will become the fourth NRL club to use Telstra Stadium as a home ground next year, with Jubilee Stadium to be closed for the season due to renovations.
A bar fight five years ago gave Jack Afamasaga the kick up the butt he needed.
THE mind of a coach is akin to the Nixonian view of communism: "It isn't sleeping. It is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting."
COLLINGWOOD champion Nathan Buckley is undecided about his future and the AFL collectively holds its breath awaiting his decision. But when it comes to the Melbourne Storm, he is unequivocal.
THE bookies are tipping them. Most of the experts are tipping them. Now a group of the game's best players have predicted Melbourne will be driven to an NRL premiership by the demons of 2006.
FRUSTRATED Storm coach Craig Bellamy yesterday responded to criticism of his side's tackling techniques by claiming a similar ploy was responsible for Billy Slater's knee injury and questioning whether grand final opponents Manly were behind a campaign to destabilise the minor premiers.
LEISURE is a Manly fan. He is precisely the reason why Manly are nobody's second team and why they will not have Sydney's support on Sunday. In short, he is the reason we hate Manly.
MANLY'S Brett Stewart will check his blood sugar levels 20 times before Sunday's grand final.
If Craig Bellamy is the passionate coach, then Des Hasler is the inscrutable one.
AS THE Melbourne Storm prepared to begin their tackling drills at yesterday's skills session, the club's PR manager walked down the sidelines motioning to the TV crews to stop filming.
ERIC Grothe's future is in serious doubt after the Eels winger missed training.
Test coach Ricky Stuart says erratic Parramatta star Eric Grothe is no longer in his plans after the winger failed to turn up to today's Australian train-on squad gathering.

RUGBY LEAGUE COACHING MANUALS Extract from Junior Coaching (Book 2) Page 23
Coaching the Mini Mod Team
By Matt Hanlon, ARL Level 3 Coach
......however with the beginners this is very difficult. Here are some game oriented drills to use with beginners.
Equipment
Footballs, numbered markers, channel 25m by 10m depth
Set Up
Place numbered markers in order of a ruck. Formation 1 - attacker, 2 - pivot, 3 - dummy half, 4 - PTB, 5 - attacker, 6 - attacker, 7 - 10 defenders.
If you have more or less players adjust accordingly. 6 players per group works well.
Instructions
Each player stands at a marker. When all are in position you call 'play the ball'. At the completion of the ruck, you call 'rotate'. Each player moves to the next number and then you start again.
As beginners progress you can add a range of different activities to this.
Skill Elements
Develop game situation, passing, tackling, finding space, movement execution.
A major concern for the beginner coach is the development of basic motor skills such as coordination and balance alongside the development of specific rugby league skills.
These specific rugby league skills can be taught in the context of the game situation and the last drill allows for this.
Remember beginners should enjoy stimulating activities.
If they do they will be back and will provide satisfaction for the coach.
Many of the principles that apply to the beginners apply here as well. However, we are now looking for greater understanding of team patterns and tactics from the players.
Although these are basic only, they are designed to introduce the players to team concepts and strategies in attack and defence.
During this two year period, players should develop a simple attack plan that involves positional play and also a knowledge of using a defensive line.
These plays should only be basic. Try to give the players specific roles in attack or defence and try to alternate positions so that the players are experiencing a feel for the game - not just a position.
Often with Junior sides one or two players can dominate.
These players need to be rotated through a number of roles so that they have the opportunity to develop all their skills.
The 'bigger and faster' players especially need work so that they develop good evasive and drawing the player skills and do not rely solely on size or speed.
The drills used earlier can be extended by adding variations and there are others suited to this level.
Equipment
Football
Set Up
Channel across field by 10-20m, depending on the number of players.
Instructions
Set up a normal ruck play. However dummy half must run and try to pass either as he is tackled or just prior to reaching the defence.
Initially give teams 4 tackles and bonus tackles for 1 or 2 passes.
As players get better effect a turnover each time a pass is not completed. Make sure defenders go forward as soon as the ball touches the ground, and defend as a unit so as to stop passes being thrown. Drop balls or other mistakes result in a changeover.
Skill Elements
Decision making, finding space, passing, tackling.....
