Latest News Beyond Blue - Don't let the brave faces fool you - this week's State of Origin rejects are hurting badly. Cowboys to pull trigger as Murray runs out of luck in last-chance saloon - GRAHAM MURRAY is on his last legs as North Queensland coach, with tomorrow night's match against Manly shaping as his last in charge of the club. Storm youngsters plug Origin gaps - The Storm's next generation of talent will thrive on the task of plugging holes left by the nine representative players currently in state-of-origin. Wendell could outdraw Dragons - WENDELL SAILOR'S return to league for the Shellharbour Marlins tomorrow night could outdraw the Dragons-Storm match at ANZ Stadium, with predictions of a crowd up to 8000 packing Ron Costello Oval. Marlins president Peter Blaine yesterday told Sin Bin the club regularly attracts between 1500 and 2000 fans for Jim Beam Cup matches but was expecting "quite a few more" to see Sailor's comeback. Exactly how many more he wasn't sure but Erina coach Mark Horo, whose club must be ruing its decision to agree to swap home games with the Marlins several months ago, said he had heard estimations of between 5000 and 8000 for the match. "If they get 8000 I wouldn't mind having $50 on it being a bigger crowd than the Dragons will get at Homebush," Horo said. All I hate is losing, says Willie - WILLIE MASON reckons hate is fine, if that's what gets you up for a State of Origin game. His own motivation, however - and that of the Blues as a team, he believes - is simply the burning desire to avoid losing a third series in a row. Hodgson to leave Tigers - West Tigers skipper will join English Super League club at the end of the season. Shillington joins Raiders - Canberra have secured a recruitment coup by signing Roosters prop to a four-year deal. Inglis poised for pivotal role - AND now for their next trick. After pulling a rabbit out of the hat by naming Karmichael Hunt at five-eighth - Queensland look poised to shuffle their deck once more. Read more League HQ
Knitting a Junior Representative Team
With Shane Flanagan written by Robert Rachow
From RLCM - JUNIOR COACHING BOOK (3) Page 26
It's like you start off with acres of free-roaming sheep and a vision in your head of the perfect woollen sweater. The materials are there, the inclination is there, but thinking about it is so much easier than turning it into reality.
First you're going to need to select the sheep with the best fleece, protect them from pesky rustlers and herd them in a similar direction.
Better organisations may give you staff to help but then again, their taste may vary from yours. Once the sheep are corralled, you must get their full attention and develop an understanding in a short time if that fleece is to come off smoothly, without snicks and scars.
Then when the wool's on the floor, there's a job to be done removing rough flaws and melding multiple fleeces into one seamless product.
It's not just one sweater you're after either. You want a range, consistent, yet individually vibrant.
It may be a touch abstract, but coaching a junior representative team through a season goes a little something along these lines.
Shane Flanagan believes that even prior to knowing who is among the flock, a coach should have some things already cemented in their mind.
There are certain elements that every team needs, regardless of its components. Good managers and support staff are a start. A thorough understanding of the season schedule and highlighted, pivotal matches are also useful.
Then there will be core skills that the coach plans to focus on, thereby maximising player development.
"When I was at Parramatta they were big on the catch, grip, carry and pass elements, so it's important for us to be across that," Flanagan says.
"We did have individual skills (training), but we promoted block skills that were considered necessary and which perhaps the players haven't thought about before.
"Teaching a player how to catch at different angles is an example there. How do they catch at the six o'clock position as compared to other angles?"
Commonly, teams playing in junior representative seasons will spend more time training through the pre-season than actually competing.
In the Sydney based leagues, squads may slog it out in the gym and on the training paddock for up to 18 weeks before their first game. Yet the season could be as short as 10 games.
Therefore, players are going to be spending a lot of time - not always enjoyable time either - in each other's pockets. That's before the team even gets to the season proper, where match pressures and injuries mount on continued conditioning.
Developing and maintaining team harmony is certainly something that needs consideration and forward planning......To read more buy RLCM Junior Coaching eBOOK 3 Click RLCM Bookshop buy a RLCM eBook and it will be in your PC today.
