Raiders to Appoint Henry

Stuart Honeysett

CANBERRA is expected to announce today that North Queensland assistant coach Neil Henry will be the replacement for Matthew Elliott next year.

Henry began his coaching career in the nation's capital at West Belconnen and was the Raiders' premier league coach before joining Graham Murray at the Cowboys in 2003.

His deal at the Raiders is expected to be for the next three years and former Canberra turned Melbourne assistant coach Michael Maguire will return to the nation's capital as Henry's offsider.

There could still be a mentor's role for former premiership-winning coach and now ABC radio commentator Warren Ryan as reported in The Australian last month.

Henry is believed to have beaten a hot field for the job which included former Test coach Chris Anderson, St Helens coach Daniel Anderson, Castleford coach Terry Matterson and former Brisbane assistant Kevin Walters.

The Raiders board met yesterday at Canberra Stadium before the game against the Bulldogs but were tight-lipped about the coaching situation.

"The process over the last couple of months has been to narrow down the ideal coaching option for the Canberra Raiders," chief executive Simon Hawkins said yesterday.

Best Bar None

Barry Dick

COWBOYS wizard Johnathan Thurston has surged past Andrew Johns as the best player in the game, according to league legend Wally Lewis.

And the greatest player Queensland has produced challenged the Australian selectors to "show some courage" and have Thurston in the Test 17 for next month's Suncorp Stadium showdown with New Zealand.

Thurston has three NRL matches left in which to stake his Test claims, starting with Sunday's top-of-the-table blockbuster against the Knights at Newcastle's EnergyAustralia Stadium, where he will clash head-on with Johns.

The Cowboys will then be away to the Sharks at Toyota Park before hosting the Roosters in Townsville the night before the Test squad is named.

"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Thurston is the No. 1 player in the game at the moment . . bar none," Lewis said last night.

"His performances in the first five rounds of the NRL have put him marginally ahead of Andrew Johns, who has been rated the best player in the world, so I'm saying Thurston is the best in the game."

Thurston and Johns gave sparkling displays at the weekend. Thurston scored a try and kicked six goals from seven attempts for 16 points in North Queensland's 32-12 win over the Wests Tigers while Johns scored a try and kicked nine from 10 for 22 points in Newcastle's 54-6 thrashing of St George Illawarra.

Thurston has scored 78 points from five matches this year while Johns has contributed 75 from four and the temptation will have to be to unleash them against the Kiwis, who will be weakened by the unavailability of star five-eighth Benji Marshall.

Lewis, who played 33 Tests and 31 State of Origin matches in a stellar career, said it was incumbent on the national selectors to pick the best 17 for the May 5 Test.

"If the selectors have any say any more - and, believe me, that is an if with a capital I and F - he has to be there. As long as the selectors show some courage, Thurston will be there."

Former Test centre Steve Renouf said he was stunned by talk that Thurston might be overlooked for the Test.

"I've watched a lot of football this year and I'm a huge fan of Thurston," Renouf said.

"I honestly can't see how they can leave him out of the Australian team. They can't ignore him, can they? If they stick with Andrew Johns and Darren Lockyer in the halves, I could understand them having Thurston on the bench but it would be an absolute joke if they put Trent Barrett at five-eighth ahead of him."

Cowboys coach Graham Murray said Thurston's man-of-the-match performance against the Tigers last Friday night should have boosted the five-eighth's chances of making the Kangaroos squad, which will be selected on April 30 at the completion of round 8.

Kiwis Bid to Have Hunt Play

Brent Read and Margie McDonald

NEW ZEALAND coach Brian McClennan has raised the prospect of selecting a halfback from reserve grade for the Anzac Test if Karmichael Hunt cannot be tempted to play.

McClennan, who led New Zealand to a Tri-Nations victory last year, yesterday hinted selectors could pit an untried rookie against Andrew Johns following Benji Marshall's potentially season-ending shoulder injury.

The Wests Tigers playmaker will undergo scans today but officials have already ruled the 21-year-old out for a minimum of eight weeks, meaning he will not be available for the Test against the Kangaroos on May 5.

McClennan was ready to use Marshall as a stop-gap halfback in place of the injured Stacey Jones (broken arm) at Suncorp Stadium next month.

However, that plan was scuppered at Dairy Farmers Stadium on Friday night, when Marshall dislocated his shoulder attempting to tackle North Queensland's Gavin Cooper.

With Marshall unavailable, New Zealand is ready to step up attempts to convince the Broncos' Hunt to play for his country of birth.

Hunt indicated after his side's win over South Sydney on Saturday night that he would make a decision on his international allegiance this week.

If he maintains his stance of wanting to play State of Origin, McClennan said selectors may consider Parramatta lower-grade player Jeremy Smith or the Bulldogs' Billy Ngawini.

Both played for New Zealand A last year. His other options are to bring Thomas Leuluai back from England, select Lance Hohaia, playing in the domestic competition in New Zealand, or use Parramatta utility Marcus Perenara.

"There's no-one playing NRL first grade and there's one (Leuluai) playing in the Super League," McClennan said.

"Other than that there's a couple of blokes playing premier league and Lance Hohaia playing Bartercard Cup.

"I'm devastated for (Benji). It's a cruel twist of fate. I know Benji was very, very keen to be involved in the Test."

New Zealand has a record of pulling players from reserve grade to play against Australia, although it's been some time since it was successful.

Five-eighth Olsen Filipaina terrorised Wally Lewis in 1985 despite struggling to play reserve grade for Eastern Suburbs.

"Things will come up," McClennan said. "We're forever optimistic."

The Injured Player: Emergencies in the Game.

By Doug King RCpN DipNg PGDipSportMed(Otago)

The case where a player is injured on the field is the coaches, players and supporters nightmare.

This occurs as an unplanned and unwanted event that nobody wishes to happen to them, or their team-mates.

Considered the basics in sports medicine it is often necessary to go over these topics to reinforce these basics and review our current practices before and when we have to deal with these emergencies.

Continued from Friday

Sideline Treatment:

It is important to re-examine the injury area and carry out a few baseline observations.

Check for sensation by getting the player to tell you whether they can feel you touching the hand or arm and get them to move their fingers to assess for movement. If you cannot feel a pulse or they do not report any sensation of touch immediately get them to further medical support as you may have a medical emergency on your hands.

In the case of the dislocated shoulder - do not attempt to reduce the shoulder unless you are specifically trained to do so. If the player wants to lie down have them lie on their uninjured side and support their arm.

Placing Ice packs over the shoulder will do no harm and often aids in reassuring the player, but have them sent onto further medical assistance so that they can have their shoulder reduced and fully assessed.

If you are unsure of the injury or suspect a fracture again transport the player on to further medical care so a full assessment can be made and the appropriate treatment carried out. Again an Ice pack on the injured area will keep the player comfortable and reassure them.

If there is a broken collar bone, then ice on the injured area can assist in player comfort and place the injured side arm in a sling to further assist the player in attaining some form of comfort. Again check for neurological involvement by checking for their sensation and check for a pulse as well. These injuries do need further medical assessment and will require being transported to a medical care facility for treatment.

Johns Calls Time on Kangaroos

Australia's Andrew Johns will retire from international rugby after the Anzac Day Test against New Zealand on May 5.

The Newcastle Knights scrum-half, who is regarded as one of the best players in history, wants to concentrate on club rugby.

The 31-year-old has also ruled himself out of State of Origin selection in an effort to prolong a career that has been injury-plagued in recent times.

Since helping the Kangaroos win the 2000 World Cup, Johns has suffered several injury setbacks, including a knee problem that forced him to miss last season's Tri-Nations.

"I'm going to miss it, I know I'm going to miss it and it's going to hurt," he told the Nine Network.

"But it's a sacrifice I'm going to have to make if I want to win a Premiership with Newcastle."

Member 999 Back with Cash in Hand

Stuart Honeysett and Brent Read

PETER HOLMES A COURT last night celebrated his ban on attending South Sydney Leagues Club being lifted by again offering to underwrite and renovate the cash-strapped entity.

The $10.5million offer was made as the football club board met to discuss threatened legal action from leagues club chairman George Piggins over the majority sale of Souths to Holmes a Court and Russell Crowe.

Despite winning a historic vote by members two weeks ago, Holmes a Court was banned from entering the football club offices at the leagues club in Redfern last week after taking a television crew inside the premises without permission.

He appeared before the leagues club board last night and then said both parties agreed on a protocol being established to avoid problems in the future.

"Member 999 is back," Holmes a Court said. "I made it clear I was acting in the best interests of members by highlighting the opportunity that's there at the leagues club to rent that space for the benefit of the football club.

"They've asked me if I do it again, that I just check in with them before I go in."

Holmes a Court and Crowe originally offered to rescue the financially stricken leagues club along with the football club in a combined offer worth $13.5m.

However, the leagues club bid was withdrawn when Piggins emerged as an opponent to privatisation.

Holmes a Court said he hadn't signalled his intention to re-table his proposal to Piggins yet, although now the $3m football club sale had been approved by members he planned to do so.

"We will be preparing a proposal to redevelop the leagues club and I've said I will make available the funds to do that," Holmes a Court said.

"It involves taking over the debt and renovating the leagues club so the football club can have its management offices in that building."

Piggins' plans to launch legal action against the privatisation bid had a setback last night when the football club board endorsed the vote.

The Injured Player: Emergencies in the Game.

By Doug King RCpN DipNg PGDipSportMed(Otago)

The case where a player is injured on the field is the coaches, players and supporters nightmare.

This occurs as an unplanned and unwanted event that nobody wishes to happen to them, or their team-mates.

Considered the basics in sports medicine it is often necessary to go over these topics to reinforce these basics and review our current practices before and when we have to deal with these emergencies.

Continued from Thursday

Remember the first you know of an emergency is when the player stays down or you get a shout that they are injured and you have officials, coaching staff, players, spectators, distraught partners/parents and a scrambling confusion that you may encounter while you try to perform your job efficiently.

Player Assessment.

As a sport medic the basics of ABC and other pneumonic's are drummed into us adinfinitum and for good reason.

Undertaking a systematic approach to the injury enables us to assess the type of injury, the mechanism of the injury and the appropriate course of action to assist in stopping further injury and getting the player back onto the field again.

There is nothing more disheartening than watching a member of the team run to the injured player and you hear "Oh my God. Look at that!" It can have a detrimental effect on the injured player, the crowd at the game and the other team-mates.

It is easy to be distracted by the fact that the player has a gross deformity of a fractured limb and be concerned with that but the injury that may have caused the fracture may also have caused airway or other life threatening injuries. It is important to always take the assessment in a concise and methodical manner.

If you get out to the field and they are not talking or yelling then check for the Airway and their Breathing.

Often before you get to the injured player you can hear that their airway is clear and that they are breathing just by the noise they are making.

Go through your pneumonic DRABC (Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, Circulation).

The final round of games along with the finals will be played on Saturday with the Grand Final being played as a curtain raiser for the Cowboys Vs South Sydney clash.

Each team will receive 15 complementary adult tickets to the outer for this game.

We are expecting in excess of the 34 teams that competed in last year's competition to nominate. Teams will be competing for the Laurie Spina Shield (1st place) with the Ikin Store It Shield (2nd place), Ikin & Sons Removals Cup (3rd place) and Ikin & Son Storage Trophy (4th place) also up for contention.

For those of you not aware of the history of this event, Laurie Spina is best remembered as the inaugural North Queensland Cowboys captain and continues to be a very active supporter of the Toyota Cowboys and junior rugby league in our region.

The competition was developed with a shield being presented in Laurie's honour as recognition of his commitment to the sport.

Alan Ikin & Sons Removals & Storage have offered their support for this event detailing their own commitment to the development of the game and its young participants.

Other highlights of the carnival will be the fun games, which will focus on activities outside of football. There will be giveaway packs for all participants in the challenge and team photos will be available. We will also have the involvement of our team, the Toyota Cowboys, giving inspiration to the young players and joining in the fun.

Please contact the Toyota Cowboys for your nomination form. Once we have received your nomination we will be contacting you again with further details of the event. Due to the large Nomination numbers last year we will be working on a 1st in best dressed system. Please note that other nominations will be considered before second teams are entered.

Footwear: In the interest of the safety of our young players, a decision has been made that all children participating in the carnival must be wearing either sandshoes or moulded soled football boots. If this ruling causes your team any inconveniences, please don't hesitate to contact
Kristian Woolf- 0428 888 355
Scott Nosworthy- 0411159431
Brady Payne- 0400 105 071

The Injured Player: Emergencies in the Game.

By Doug King RCpN DipNg PGDipSportMed(Otago)

The case where a player is injured on the field is the coaches, players and supporters nightmare.

This occurs as an unplanned and unwanted event that nobody wishes to happen to them, or their team-mates.

Considered the basics in sports medicine it is often necessary to go over these topics to reinforce these basics and review our current practices before and when we have to deal with these emergencies.

Continued from Wednesday

Before the game:

This can be broken up into three distinct areas that may need to be reviewed.

These are Personnel, Equipment and Communications.

� Personnel.

The person on the Management team who has the sports medicine training should ideally form the core of the medical care. They should have the appropriate training, be up to date with this training and current in their qualifications.

This can range from the team doctor for National, Representative, local or professional teams through to the team medic / trainer who has undergone formal training within this area.

These people are invaluable when and if an emergency does occur.

� Equipment.

This is purely up to the individual who is responsible for the team's medical care. What some people would use at the side line of a game, and in the changing rooms would not be appropriate for others, especially if they are not qualified to use it, nor have they been trained to use it.

Remember to practise with the equipment you have to identify any shortfalls you may have, and to identify any limitations you may encounter.

For the team medic a basic first aid kit may be enough and they often do and will customize it for their own specific needs.

� Communications.

In today's environment with the ever developing technology, there is no reason for someone on the sideline not having a mobile phone, or access to one. But this is not all there is to communications.

Other communication includes providing the emergency services with information on the player regarding their name, address, allergies and your immediate care.

Within the Australian Rugby League, the First Aid Officers have a carbon copied pad with simple details that they can fill in and give the top copy to the emergency services, while keeping a copy for their own records.

I have used a "minute" form which basically has the players name, address, next of kin contact details and known allergies on it that I can tear out of a small folder and give to the emergency services. This is extremely useful if the player is unable to verbally communicate with anyone.

Essentially remember the 6 P's of planning - Prior Planning and Preparation Prevents Poor Performance and be prepared to encounter anything within the game and training situation.

Pray it never happens but react appropriately when, and if, it does.

Were the Brisbane Broncos that Good?

By Gary Roberts

Have Brisbane turned the corner after a poor display in game one against the NQ Cowboys and now two wins or was the game at Suncorp Stadium yesterday handed to them due to a very poor display in the second half of the game from Parramatta?

A crowd of 25,525 witnessed the Brisbane Broncos win their second game of the 2006 season and the score line looked convincing to the tune of 30 to 10. But was the win as comprehensive as the score showed?

The Brisbane Broncos can do no more than win and the two points they received will gratefully be accepted, as were the two from Cronulla Sharks last week.

The concern from the match is the way that Parramatta went about their game in the second half.

Parramatta was in the game after the first half trailing by only two points, which may have come about because of a slight imbalance in turning the ball over.

However, the second half was a disaster for them. Mistakes, dropped ball and poor options from professional footballers created problems for the team - problems that will have to be quickly rectified by the Parramatta coaching staff.

Similar efforts as those witnessed in the second half, will see them on a spiral to the lower end of the ladder as the year progresses.

Parramatta had the ball for 16 plays in the second half only five of which created pressure for the Broncos.

Positive plays are achieved when they create pressure for the opposition as the result of the attacking team's previous play. They have nothing to do with completion rates.

Parramatta's 16 sets in the second half were:

Play 1: Kicked the ball dead.
Play 2: Kicked the ball dead.
Play 3: Kicked the ball from 50m to the 20m.
Play 4: Kicked the ball 50m to 10m - POSITIVE.
Play 5: Scored after kick from inside own 15m, risky but successful - POSITIVE.
Play 6: Made long-range break from own 15m, resulted in poor option kick on second play on Broncos 10m.
Play 7: Unable to make ground from own red zone, kick from 25m to Broncos 20m, results in Broncos try.
Play 8: Knock on 20m, results in Broncos try.
Play 9: Carry the ball from 15m to 90m - POSITIVE.
Play 10: Carry the ball from 10m to 50m on fifth play, results in turnover.
Play 11: Kick the ball from 55m to Broncos 25m.
Play 12: Knock on fifth play on 55m resulting in Broncos try.
Play 13: Receive Penalty - POSITIVE PLAY?
Play 14: Knock on 70m fourth play.
Play 15: Kick from 45m to Broncos 10m - POSITIVE.
Play 16: Knock on 40m.

With such a second half to contend with, the Broncos were entitled to a win but coach, Wayne Bennett, will not be carried away with the result.

Salary Cap Rise

The National Rugby League Club Chief Executives have today supported a rise in the salary cap for 2007 and beyond.

They have however urged caution in the extent of any rise and reiterated that most clubs fail to make a profit without the assistance of external funding.

Furthermore they point to the effect of increased taxes, other legislation affecting licensed clubs and threats to the tax status of clubs, which continue to cast doubt on the extent to which that funding will be available.

"Penrith Leagues Club for instance has already had to find another five million dollars as a result of the recent legislative changes with further costs ahead," Panthers CEO Mick Leary said today.

The clubs today discussed a wide range of salary cap issues and options as well as the marquee player allowances and long serving player allowances that are already available to clubs.

"Ultimately you can't escape the fact that an allowance is simply another cost," Souths CEO, Shane Richardson said.

"We need to be mindful of the fact that clubs aren't making profits.

"We need to also ensure that we are investing in the development of the game."

The clubs today gave strong support to the NRL developing a National Youth Competition in association with the Telstra Premiership as a way of boosting the development opportunities.

ARL Chief Executive, Mr Geoff Carr, reminded all clubs of the competition the game faces in attracting and developing players:

"There's an enormous investment being made by other codes and we need to support our volunteers and our junior players.

"The game certainly can't lose focus on the money it needs to put into this area."

NRL Chief Executive, Mr David Gallop, said that the results of today's meeting would be discussed with the RLPA as the Collective Bargaining Agreement discussions continue tomorrow:

"It's still early days and we have had encouraging discussions to date.

"It's good to see the clubs supporting the cap increase we proposed today.

"Hopefully we can continue in an atmosphere that promotes an understanding of the realities the game faces.

"Certainly over the last few days there have been ideas put forward which the clubs today accepted were simply unworkable.

"That doesn't mean we don't go forward with an open mind but some things such as centralised contract systems or exceptions for some players contracts have been investigated time and again and have been shown not to work and simply unfair on other clubs."

The Injured Player: Emergencies in the Game.

By Doug King RCpN DipNg PGDipSportMed(Otago)

The case where a player is injured on the field is the coaches, players and supporters nightmare.

This occurs as an unplanned and unwanted event that nobody wishes to happen to them, or their team-mates.

Considered the basics in sports medicine it is often necessary to go over these topics to reinforce these basics and review our current practices before and when we have to deal with these emergencies.

Preparation for the events and the emergencies and assessment of the injured player is vital to ensuring that nothing is left to chance and the player can return to the game in the shortest time possible by enhancing their recovery chances if and when the injury occurs.

Preparation:

Planning for an emergency should be undertaken both prior to the season starting, and before the actual game takes place.

Everyone with the team has a role and within that role is a responsibility to each other, the team, their team-mates and to the game over all. Such planning needs to encompass all the "what ifs" hat can occur and how to react to them.

Injuries within the game can range from a minor sore finger through to life threatening situations and should be planned for irrespective of the possibility.

Someone within the team management should ideally have formal training to deal with the possibility of the severe injury and they should assume that role if and when an injury occurs.

Wakefield 21-22 Warrington

Warrington put on a stunning late show with four tries in the second half to snatch victory from what seemed certain defeat at Belle Vue.

The visitors looked in dire trouble before the break as Wakefield raced to an 21-0 lead with Jamie Rooney touching down twice and a try for Semi Tadulala.

But Toa Kohe-Love turned the tide in the 47th minute before Chris Bridge and Logan Swann added two more.

Bridge grabbed his second with six minutes to go to seal a dramatic win.

But that outcome never looked possible in a first half in which Tadulala opened the scoring and Rooney, in just his second game back from a lengthy injury lay off, added 17 points including two tries.

But the Wolves came out a much more determined side in the second half, getting on the score sheet within five minutes of the restart.

In the 57th minute, second-half replacement Michael Sutherland passed for Bridge to go over from close range and Bridge assumed the kicking responsibility from the erratic Lee Briers to cut the deficit to 11.

With 13 minutes remaining, Swann crashed over again from close range and Bridge kicked his side within range.

Warrington then compounded the home crowd's anger and disbelief with a few minutes to go when Bridge touched down from a grubber kick from Briers to complete a remarkable comeback.

Roosters Trounce Raiders

The Sydney Roosters beat the Canberra Raiders 56-20 in their round three National Rugby League clash at the Sydney Football Stadium.

The Raiders went into half-time with a 14-10 lead, but the Roosters added further humiliation to Canberra's start to the season, piling on 46 unanswered points in the final 30 minutes.

It is the second week in a row the Raiders have had more than 50 points scored against them, following their record 70-32 loss against Newcastle last Sunday.

Anthony Minichiello, Amos Roberts and Anthony Tupou each scored a brace of tries for the Roosters in the 10-try romp.

There's No Room For Liquid Amber In Sport

By Gary Slater - Sports Dietician

While an array of factors may contribute to fatigue during exercise, fluid losses, principally from sweating, equivalent to even 2% of body mass can reduce performance.

In addition, the negative effects on performance increase as the level of dehydration increases. As a result, strategies to minimise dehydration are critical if athletes are to perform at their best.

In this edition of The Coaches Edge, Gary Slater, sports dietitian and an Australian Institute of Sport PhD scholar investigates a number of methods currently available to monitor hydration status; including changes in body weight, urinary (colour, specific gravity and osmolality) and blood analysis (osmolality).

Continued from Friday

Recovering from Dehydration

While prevention is the key, some degree of dehydration may be unavoidable during exercise!

While effective rehydration strategies after such sessions are critical, focusing on fluid intake throughout each day is equally important.

Aim to develop good drinking habits that are flexible depending on daily activities. Look after specific fluid losses during exercise based on the information you gain from weight monitoring exercises.

Remember that rehydration also means replacing the electrolytes lost in sweat, with the use of sodium-containing drinks like sports drinks, sodium-rich foods (bread, breakfast cereal, savoury snacks) and salt added to meals.

The advice of a sports dietitian can help to organise a specific recovery plan when sweat losses are large and the recovery time is short. A common strategy in all rehydration plans is to make sure that a supply of cool and well-liked beverages are on hand.

In addition to supplying a small amount of sodium, chilled sports drinks have the advantage of tasting good, thus encouraging greater fluid intake, faster rates of rehydration and restoration of muscle energy reserves.

Practical Tips For Coaches

� Encourage athletes to self-monitor their hydration status, especially when training/competing in warmer weather or when training loads increase.

� Encourage athletes to drink plenty of fluids like sports drinks throughout a training week. Frequent drink breaks are essential during exercise if dehydration is to be minimised.

� A simple assessment of body weight upon waking each day, or soon thereafter, in conjunction with urine colour, is a practical way to monitor hydration status.

Wigan and Gregory Settle Dispute

Former Wigan coach Mike Gregory has settled his dispute with the club over his departure due to ill health.

At a tribunal in Manchester, Gregory withdrew any claim against Wigan, and the Warriors made an ex gratia payment of �17,500 to him.

Gregory left Wigan because of a degenerative muscular disease that has prevented him from coaching since 2004.

Wigan had paid up his contract in full, but Gregory made an extra claim under disability legislation.

The club had intended to resist his claim at the tribunal.

But Wigan chairman Maurice Lindsay said: "Having seen Mike at the hearing we realised that his health had deteriorated further.

"We instructed our barrister that under no circumstances was he to cross examine Mike in the witness box.

"We would not have been comfortable with putting him through that stress."

Lindsay added: "We made a payment of �17,500 although it was officially confirmed that Mike was making no claim for the loss of earnings.

"We had honoured every penny of our contractual obligation.

"Now that the matter is officially ended we wish Mike all the luck in dealing with his sad illness. He and his family have our utmost sympathy."

Gregory took over as head coach at Wigan in 2003 after Stuart Raper's departure, but was forced to step down after the 2004 Challenge Cup final.

The 42-year-old former Great Britain captain had about �50,000 raised for him in a recent friendly between Warrington - where he spent 12 years as a player - and Widnes.

Players Questions - Coaches Answers

The Wigan Junior Academy

Continued from Monday

QUESTION 12.

I've noticed when I'm marker at a play the ball, I keep missing the runners who catch the dummyhalf's pass. Can you give me any tips on how to stop them?

Coach replies: This is quite an important job for the marker. Often the first receiver from the dummy-half is the player who makes the breaks which can often lead to tries. So it is the job of the marker to try to tackle or at least hold up the player on the charge.

Two markers are allowed to stand inside the 10m offside line, but they cannot interfere with the play the ball until the ball is out.

As soon as the ball is in the hands of the dummy-half, step out of the line. Watch where the runner is going and try to block them before they gain ground. Even if you cannot bring them down for a tackle, you should be able to delay their run enough to get the rest of your team ready for defence after running back 10m.

QUESTION 13.

How does the offside rule work?

Coach replies: There are several ways of being deemed offside.

For example, offside at a kick.

All players in front of the kicker (attacking side) are deemed to be offside. They are played onside if the kicker, having kicked the ball, runs in front of them thus playing them onside. Or, if the player who retrieves the ball (defending side) runs 10m in any direction.

QUESTION 14.

What is the advantage line?

Coach replies: The advantage line is an imaginary line from where the ball is played - stretching horizontally across the field.

The attacking side try to progress beyond the line, using it as a marker to measure how far they have progressed with each attack.

There is no penalty for not making it beyond the advantage line, but failing to do so means you are going backwards!

New Era for Struggling Rabbitohs

Brent Read

SECONDS after his bid to privatise South Sydney became a reality at Telstra Stadium yesterday, Russell Crowe turned to partner Peter Holmes a Court and offered a word of warning.

"I said your life has changed in a very dramatic way, young fella," an elated Crowe confided as he and Holmes a Court faced the media in the bowels of Telstra Stadium last night.

Seven months after Holmes a Court and Crowe first broached the subject of privatisation with Souths' powerbrokers, it became official yesterday when members of the game's most famous club voted -- by the smallest of margins -- to sell 75 per cent of the Rabbitohs to the Oscar-winning actor and the millionaire businessman.

Needing 75 per cent support, 3942 voting members exercised their right to put Crowe and Holmes a Court in charge with 2988 votes -- or 75.8 per cent.

In the end, 32 votes was all that stood between the pair guiding the club's future and having their $3 million bid rejected. As Crowe acknowledged as he absorbed yesterday's result, the hard work begins now.

The pair has the onerous task of turning around the fortunes of a club once known as the 'Pride of the League' but more notable in recent years for its in-fighting and factional brawling.

"This means we have a future and we have cash in the bank and we can begin to focus on the very thing all the factionalism and in-fighting stops us focusing on, which is playing the game of football and playing it competitively," Crowe said.

"We can't really have that great an effect this year. What we can do is put things in place for next year. This is only a victory in a small sense. It's not the actual end of the game. The end of the game is a long way off."

Crowe has already foreshadowed bringing his cousin, former New Zealand cricket captain Martin Crowe, on as a board member.

He confirmed yesterday he had also spoken to PBL chief executive Eddie McGuire, the president of Collingwood AFL club.

Crowe is optimistic he can convince McGuire to take a place on a revamped board, which he and Holmes a Court believe can turn the ailing club into a financial heavyweight.

McGuire is considered an ideal fit for the Rabbitohs, in part because he is largely credited with revolutionising Collingwood, laced with professionalism.

"I think it matches up really well in terms of his image," Crowe said. "I think it gives us a great opportunity to have someone with not only a high profile, but a past that includes bringing a team that isn't going well into profitability.

"It would be wonderful for us if Eddie stepped forward. The great chance we have with Eddie is there is no-one in the AFL who plays in red and green and nobody who has a rabbit.

"He's not crossing any boundaries. That's a positive."

While yesterday's result heralded the beginning of a new era, it also marked the end of another.

Club legend George Piggins, who had worked with former Souths Juniors' boss Henry Morris to have the bid defeated, claimed afterwards he would never attend another game of rugby league.

"I'm finished," Piggins said.

"I'm at the stage of my life where I have other interests. I would rather look after them. I'll be watching on TV. You'll never see me at a football game again."

Told of Piggins' remarks, Crowe indicated he would seek out the club legend to convince him to change his mind.

"I think that's really sad," Crowe said. "Over time I will definitely talk to George and I'll encourage him to come along and watch Souths win."

Piggins, largely credited with winning the club's reinstatement to the NRL in 2002 after it was sacrificed as part of the ARL-Super League peace deal in 1999, attended yesterday's meeting armed with nearly 1200 proxy votes -- more than enough to defeat the Crowe-Holmes a Court bid. However, more than 300 of those were overturned when members changed their minds, allowing Crowe and Holmes a Court the breathing space they needed to achieve their target.

Representatives of accounting firm KPMG kept the 1500-plus in attendance waiting for more than two hours before the result was announced, leaving members to enjoy Melbourne's win over the Sydney Roosters -- Souths' arch rival.

Players Questions - Coaches Answers

The Wigan Junior Academy

Continued from Friday

QUESTION 10.

How can I improve my pace?

Coach replies: In order to improve or maintain your pace, you'll need to look at a number of training methods. Your running technique will need working at, along with power training and SAQ training.

SAQ stands for Speed Agility Quickness training which takes in things like explosive movements like jumping and resistance work.

However you will need to work closely with your coach or conditioner and integrate speed work with other aspects of your training programme.

QUESTION 11.

I play prop and I have speed and power. Should I run into gaps or run at defenders?

Coach replies: You've just described two of the main roles of the modern prop. Both moves are correct - it all depends entirely on your situation.

If you are defending deep inside your own half, your team will want you to make ground to take the pressure off. Running at defenders is a good way of doing that.

You can play the ball to safety if you get tackled, or you can keep on running and look to offload if you break the tackles. If you are in a good attacking situation, try and hit the gaps between the defences.

Again, if you are tackled, you can either play the ball or look to offload to a nearby team-mate.

If you've got power and speed, you're half way there already!

Wests Shape Up to Life Without Benji

The Wests Tigers will experience life without star five-eighth Benji Marshall tonight when they take on the Bulldogs at Sydney's Olympic Stadium.

Marshall has been sidelined for six weeks after fracturing his cheekbone in last Friday's opening round win over the Dragons.

Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes says he did not think the Tigers' game plan would change much with Daniel Fitzhenry deputising for Marshall.

"I don't think they'll change their style too much," he said.

"Obviously Daniel Fitzhenry's got a different set of skills to Benji Marshall so I guess his play, that five-eighth role will change a little bit but I can't [see it] changing too much.

"They were pretty successful last year with it obviously and they were good last week."

The Tigers thrashed the Bulldogs by more than 50 points late last year on the way to winning the premiership, but Hazem El Masri said the Canterbury side had put that experience behind it.

"Last year's last year," he said.

"A lot of teams spanked us last year. It wasn't a year to remember to be honest. Last year's behind us, we're looking forward to this year.

"We've trained really well and hard in the off season so hopefully we're looking at a big one."

Players Questions - Coaches Answers

The Wigan Junior Academy

Continued from Thursday

QUESTION 7.

What makes a good second row?

Coach replies: A second row in the modern game needs many qualities. Good speed, strength, power and endurance. Good footwork, sound tackling technique, excellent passing and handling skills and good decision making ability.

Add to this the need to be mentally strong and you would have a great second row.

QUESTION 8.

If you've got the ball with one defender to beat and one man in support, what's the best way of breaking the line? Which side of the defender should you run at?

Coach replies: I would suggest you try one of the following:

In a 2 v 1 situation like this you should remember the following. Run towards the defender at pace, attract the defender and swerve (arc) your run taking him away from your support. Pass just before the defender - not too soon, not too late.

Give a quality pass and stay alive to support the ball carrier.

QUESTION 9.

What's the best meal before a match?

Coach replies: I would suggest you try one of the following:

- Brown rice or noodles with a low fat sauce
- Pasta with a tomato based low fat sauce
- Pancakes with jam, honey or syrup
- Jacket potato with beans and low fat cheese

TV Company Buys into St George Illawarra Dragons

By Brad Walter

St George Illawarra is the latest NRL club to move towards privatisation, with WIN Television understood to have bought into the Dragons.

On the eve of Sunday's historic vote by 4505 South Sydney members on whether to sell a 75 per cent stake of the club to Peter Holmes a Court and Russell Crowe, St George Illawarra officials will today unveil details of their own privatisation deal.

It is understood WIN TV has purchased 50 per cent of the debt-ridden Steelers' half-share in the joint venture, giving the regional broadcaster a 25 per cent holding in St George Illawarra. The other 50 per cent is owned by St George.

It is understood the $6 million arrangement also includes other commercial aspects for WIN TV.

A press conference at WIN Stadium, the club's Wollongong playing base, has been called for a major announcement today.

St George Illawarra chief executive Peter Doust yesterday told the Herald the club was open to privatisation. "I think there's always been an interest across rugby league to attract as many corporate partners as possible . ," he said.

"We're always looking around for people or organisations that might be interested because you'd like to think you could lock in corporations at different levels other than just hospitality and sponsorship."

Sam Rapira Set for Memorable Homecoming

The New Zealand Warriors first-grade newcomer Sam Rapira is set for a memorable homecoming when he returns to Hamilton for this weekend's National Rugby League encounter with Parramatta.

It follows head coach Ivan Cleary's decision to name the 18-year-old 2005 Junior Kiwi captain as the team's 18th man for the match at Waikato Stadium.

Front rower Rapira, a Hamilton Boys' High School old boy, became a fulltime first-grade squad member when the Vodafone Warriors began their off-season training programme for the 2006 NRL season.

He impressed Cleary and the coaching staff throughout the off-season and pre-season, earning a first-grade trial against Canberra at North Harbour Stadium last month.

He'll be one of three Waikato players in the team that travels to Hamilton today... also in the side are Huntly products Wairangi Koopu and Lance Hohaia.

En route to Hamilton the entire squad, football department and management will visit Rakaumanga School in Huntly where Koopu was educated.

Later in the day captain Steve Price and Ruben Wiki will join Hohaia when he visits his old school St Paul's Collegiate in Hamilton.

Players Questions - Coaches Answers

The Wigan Junior Academy

Continued from Wednesday

QUESTION 4.

What is the best way to deal with the high ball?

Coach replies: The first thing you need to do is get into position early. Keep your eyes on the ball at all times. Call for the ball to allow your team to know you are catching it.

Next you need to reach up for the ball and as you catch it bring it in towards your body. Once under control turn your shoulders to protect yourself from the oncoming opposition.

QUESTION 5.

I'm constantly being penalised for holding players down too long- are there any tips you can give to avoid this?

Coach replies: From what you are describing it sounds to me like you are trying to control the speed of the play the ball to allow your teams line to get set. The best way to do this is by being dominant in the tackle. This is the only way you will not get penalised. It is therefore important to develop your tackling technique.

QUESTION 6.

Are there any drills that I can practice outside of usual group training?

Coach replies: There are many skills can and should be practiced away from your usual club training.

Forexample, all the games top kickers practice for hours away from club sessions, and not just goalkicking, bombs and grubbers are worked at as well.

Brian Smith in Deal to Join Newcastle

By Brad Walter and Brett Keeble

Parramatta coach Brian Smith has agreed to a three-year deal with Newcastle, completing an unprecedented off-season coaching swap between the two clubs on the eve of their opening premiership clash this weekend.

Just weeks after Newcastle's Michael Hagan was recruited to coach the Eels from 2007, Smith yesterday accepted an offer from the Knights that may be announced as soon as today. Smith last night declined to comment on the matter but it is understood he agreed to terms with the Knights after a meeting on Monday night.

Former Newcastle premiership-winning captain Paul Harragon, who was Smith's assistant when he coached Country Origin, was the man behind the deal, and his fellow Newcastle directors are expected to ratify the move at a board meeting today.

After missing out on Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens and Canberra's Matthew Elliott, relieved Knights officials are thought to be keen to break the news as soon as possible and may use a sponsorship announcement today, involving Hunter brewery Blue Tongue, to celebrate the deal.

The Knights' snaring of Smith ends months of speculation since Parramatta announced last November that the former Dragons mentor would not have his contract renewed beyond this year after 10 years of continuous service for the Eels.

Reluctant to comment on the issue until now, Smith yesterday said he had considered a number of jobs for next year but wanted to continue coaching in the NRL.

"I've had some other opportunities outside of footy and a couple of them I've been really tempted by, but the bug's still got me at this stage," Smith told Channel Seven.

While committed to Parramatta for the remainder of the season, Smith said he was looking forward to beginning a new challenge in 2007 and was unfazed by the fact the structure and set-up at Newcastle was a significant step down from the Eels'.

"Starting again at another club doesn't frighten me; in fact, it excites me," he said. "I've worked in half a dozen clubs, I guess - something like that, anyway; I forget - but I've enjoyed every place I've been and the starting up bit is a lot of fun, so wherever and if it comes along, I'll be one excited little puppy."

With Parramatta drawn to play Newcastle on Saturday night at EnergyAustralia Stadium, Smith noted the irony, saying: "Maybe [NRL chief operating officer] Graham Annesley and the people who put the draw together knew something we didn't, maybe [Eels CEO] Denis Fitzgerald talks to them and lets them know.

Deakin Takes Oldham Job

By Ian Laybourn

Steve Deakin, sacked by Super League newcomers Catalans Dragons a week before Christmas, was back in rugby league tonight after being appointed as coach of National League club Oldham.

The Oldham-born Deakin was chosen to succeed John Pendlebury, who rocked the club with his resignation this morning, and was handed a contract to end of the 2007 season.

"I'm privileged and proud to be coach of my home-town team," said Deakin.

"As far as the Catalan job is concerned, life is too short to hold any grudges and I wish the Catalans all the luck in the world.

"But my focus now is with Oldham and I have to say when I got the call from them this morning, I couldn't get in the car quick enough.

"My ambition is still to coach in Super League and, if I could do that with Oldham, it would be a dream come true."

The Deakin family is intrinsically linked with rugby league in Oldham.

Steve's brother, the late Peter Deakin, an administrator with Bradford, Warrington and Saracens, was a player with Oldham while younger brother Chris is coach of Oldham St Annes.

Deakin joined Perpignan-based Union Treiziste Catalane as head coach three years ago after holding the post of assistant at Sheffield Eagles, London Broncos and Huddersfield.

He helped lay the foundations for the club's successful application to join Super League but was axed just seven weeks before the big kick-off after allegations of incompatibility with the players.

Deakin becomes the third Oldham coach in 12 months, taking over from Pendlebury, who succeeded Gary Mercer last October but quit just three games into the new season.

Pendlebury, once Super League coach of the year after guiding Halifax to a third-place finish, gave up his job in the building trade to return to the game in the winter and signed a two-year contract.

The former Wigan, Leigh and Bradford loose forward cited personal reasons for his decision but is known to have become frustrated by the club's difficulties with training facilities.

"I believe all clubs and coaches at all levels should have a copy of RLCM Books as a coaching resource" Wayne Bennett - Brisbane Broncos

Motivation At The Top Level.

With Pat O'Keefe. Written by Terry Prindable.

When one speaks to Pat O'Keefe on the subject of motivation, it is easy to see that not only is he knowledgable about the subject but widely read and very, very keen about it as well. And the proof is in the product.

O'Keefe has coached individuals like kayaker Grant Davies to a controversial Gold/Silver medal at the Seoul Olympics and Australian Champion Iron Woman, the recently retired Karla Gilbert, to her many triumphs in the surf.

He is now full-time Coaching Director at the strong Northcliffe Surf Club on the Gold Coast.

The man can certainly get the best out of his competitors so RLCM sought his opinion.

His thoughts apply to all sports people who wish to achieve at the highest level.

Pat, like other top coaches, believes motivation results from very basic concepts. "I think motivation comes from a good preparation," he said.

"Your motivation and your confidence come from the fact that you know what you have done before you get to the event - that your preparation has been done properly. It is more important than any other skill."

He went on to say that other skills had to be learnt but that they then had to be applied in vigorous practice and preparation.

He stated that if you wanted to run fast, you had to practise running fast. You couldn't just go for a long jog every day. The same applied to a swimmer or a footballer.

He said that the hard preparation then came through in the field of battle when the early arousal period had waned and the pain barrier was looming.

"You have to have visited there a lot of times in training so that your body will know it has been there before. It is used to going there," he advocated.

"You have to have visited there. If you haven't visited there, you won't go there."

David Kidwell given first chance at Melbourne Storm captaincy

By Stathi Paxinos

Melbourne Storm second-rower David Kidwell will be the first of the six-man leadership group to toss the coin for the team against the New Zealand Warriors in the National Rugby League's first-round clash on Sunday, coach Craig Bellamy said yesterday.

The Storm will operate a rotating captaincy roster this year, with the Kiwi international given the role for the first week.

Winger Matt Geyer, five-eighth Scott Hill, back-rower Michael Crocker, hooker Cameron Smith and injured prop Dennis Scott are the other members of the player-elected leadership group.

"We need someone to toss the coin and run out first," Bellamy said. "You can call him captain for the day if you like, but we've got five captains on the field, so that's just the way it worked out."

He said Kidwell's leadership potential had improved after the Storm's costly late-season loss to Cronulla, where the Sharks ran in two tries while Kidwell had been sin-binned for dissent.

"I think he really turned the corner after that Cronulla incident last year when he got sin-binned," Bellamy said. "I thought his discipline really improved and when (that) improved, his form improved and he was probably our best player the last six or eight weeks of the year."

Kidwell said the Cronulla game had been a turning point. "I was in the wrong and it sort of woke me up and that I was in the spotlight of referees and all that, so I had to really take my discipline a step back and just . be a clean, good boy on the field and that really helped me in my football," Kidwell said. ". Being a senior player now, you can't be seen doing that stuff with the young guys. You've got to set a good example for them."

Bellamy, who, after the Storm's disappointing semi-final loss to North Queensland, predicted this year would be one for rebuilding, yesterday labelled such talk as a cop-out. "When teams say they are rebuilding, it is a bit of a cop-out to say that we are not going to have such a good year. I'm not sure what we are capable of but from our form and the way we've gone in the pre-season, I think we are going to be very competitive," he said.

Sunday's game in Auckland will be the first in Storm colours for Queensland state-of-origin duo Crocker and Chris Walker, who both have reputations for questionable off-field behaviour at their previous clubs. Bellamy said both had fitted in well.

"They've trained really hard and that's been a real plus for us," Bellamy said. "We don't bring guys down here unless they're good guys and good trainers that work hard, and they fall into that category."

Meanwhile, the Storm upgraded its sponsorship deal with health fund Medibank Private and signed a new major sponsor deal with superannuation firm HostPlus. Both companies have signed two-year deals.

St Helens a Team for All Seasons

St Helens forward Maurie Fa'asavalu believes victory at Warrington proved the engage Super League leaders are a team for all seasons.

Not many matches have kicked off with snow covering half the pitch since the switch to summer Super League in 1996.

But Saints had no problems adapting to the Arctic conditions at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Friday and secured a hard-fought 18-10 win.

The experience was unique for Fa'asavalu and a number of his Antipodean team-mates, such as Australian centre Jamie Lyon and Kiwi duo Francis Meli and Jason Cayless.

Significantly, Fa'asavalu feels the victory, coming seven days after their narrow 13-4 win over Leeds Rhinos, confirmed Saints' ability to grind out results in extenuating circumstances.

The dual-code Samoan forward said: "We didn't expect it to snow and playing in those conditions was certainly very difficult.

"It was the first time I had played in snow but I don't look at it as a negative thing because I enjoyed it.

"The boys were having a few jokes about it before the game and we said to each other 'let's just go out there and have fun'.

"The result showed we can grind out results when we need to because beating Warrington on their own ground is always a big win."

St Helens are continuing to justify their status as title favourites and Friday's victory at Warrington maintained their 100% start to the season.

Last season a cruel run of injuries put paid to their Grand Final hopes, but the winter recruitment of Cayless, Meli and Leon Pryce has fortified Saints in no small measure.

Furthermore, coach Daniel Anderson has a talented crop of youngsters at his disposal, and Fa'asavalu believes they could play a big part this season.

The Pacific Islander, who made an impressive impact off the bench at Warrington, added: "The club has got great spirit and we've got a lot of young players who can fill in and do the jersey proud.

"Last year the young lads had their first taste of Super League after being thrown in at the deep end.

"They will take that experience into this year. You've got James Graham, James Roby, Scott Moore and Matty Smith, who is still waiting to get a taste this year.

"Things are going well but we've just got to keep our feet on the ground, turn up for the game and then blow our opponents away."

Wolves Sell Out

Warrington Wolves are delighted to announce that Friday's fixture against St Helens at The Halliwell Jones Stadium has now completely sold out.

A capacity crowd of over 13,000 spectators is expected for this hotly
anticipated Engage Super League XI fixture, meaning any fans without a valid ticket will now not gain access to the stadium.

As no further tickets remain for the away end, the club advises any St
Helens junior season ticket holders that haven't already exchanged their voucher for a ticket not to attend, as entry will be refused. No cash transactions will be accepted at any turnstiles and no further tickets will be available for sale.

Piggins' Minority Offer is Rejected

Brent Read and Stuart Honeysett

PROSPECTIVE South Sydney owner Peter Holmes a Court last night rejected a compromise offer from George Piggins.

Holmes a Court was also forced to defend his reputation as a businessman as the battle for the foundation club again descended into acrimony and insults.

Piggins, who attended an anti-privatisation lunch at South Sydney Leagues yesterday with a host of club legends, revealed he was willing to drop his opposition to Holmes a Court and Crowe buying a stake in the Rabbitohs provided it was only a minority share.

Piggins said he had discussed the plan with Holmes a Court during a phone conversation this week.

"If he wants to put his $3 million in and only own 49 per cent of the company that's fine with me," Piggins said.

"I don't have a problem with that."

Holmes a Court and bid partner Russell Crowe want 75 per cent control for $3 million.

He rejected the offer, saying it would only lead to more boardroom brawling.

"We need to have clear control while giving members more rights than ever before," Holmes a Court said.

"We need to end the boardroom fighting forever. We need to get the energy out of the boardroom and on to the field.

"I don't think George understands these fights are used by other people to pull our players away."

Holmes a Court also attacked Sol Bellear after the Souths board member questioned his business credentials.

Bellear, who opposed the privatisation plan when it went before the board last month, said Holmes a Court had benefited from his late father's (Bell Resources chief executive Robert) fortune.

"It's quite ridiculous the other side," Holmes a Court said.

"The 'No' camp have come up with no alternative but the status quo.

"The status quo has seen Souths finish in the bottom three in 12 of the last 14 seasons, the status quo has seen our best players go to other clubs.

"And if they want to drop to the level of personal insults it weakens their position."

The latest stoush came as Souths' major sponsor, Real Insurance, threw its support behind the Holmes a Court-Crowe proposal, which will go before the football club members on March 19.

Taking the Plunge - Becoming A Full Time Coach.

By Wayne Goldsmith

Continued from Thursday

11. Consult a qualified accountant and solicitor prior to taking the plunge into full time coaching to get advice on financial and legal matters. Specifically seek accurate and current information on:

. Taxation
. Insurance requirements
. Keeping adequate financial records (including cash expenses, bank statements, debtors and creditors)
. Maintaining adequate records has become even more important with the introduction of the G.S.T. in July 2000.
. The pros and cons of starting your own company (tax advantages / record keeping, set up costs etc)
. Keeping records of motor vehicle use
. Banking
. Superannuation

12. If coaching a senior team, where their current success is your income, develop a "feeder" or junior development program to ensure the ongoing success of your coaching program. You may only be one player retirement or one injury away from unemployment!

13. Develop a support network of trusted personal and professional colleagues. This may include coaches in other sports, business leaders, professionals in sports science / sports medicine or other leaders. There will be many times when you will need the support of people you respect, who you can trust and who will be honest with you when you need honesty.

14. Allow time for the big three - YOUR HEALTH - YOUR FAMILY - YOUR FRIENDS.

Without doubt the most consistent problems coaches face is from giving more time and greater commitment to other people than to themselves, their own family and their own friends. The key to long term professional coaching success is BALANCE.

Just as you schedule training sessions for your players, schedule time for your family, your friends and yourself every week. This can be a challenge, but like anything worthwhile in life - worth the effort.

Full time coaching can be, with the right planning, an exciting coaching opportunity. It presents an opportunity to explore the limits of your coaching ability without the compromises that are demanded of part time coaching.

Will society shape the way that professional coaching develops or will the innovative coaches of the future change the way the profession of coaching develops by their actions today? It is up to you.

Balmain PCYC Rugby League club requires the services of an A Grade coach for the 2006 season. It is an exciting time for the club as it is the first time we have fielded a senior team in over 15 years. We will be playing in the combined Balmain/St George competition.

Previous experience coaching an A Grade side is preferred, however former players and lower grade coaches are also encouraged to apply.

We are also looking for a physio/strapper and new players are always welcome.

Interested persons should contact A Grade Team Manager Darren Flynn on 0409 788 040 or email balmainagrade@...

NRL Salary Cap Regulations

National Rugby League Chief Executives today supported the ongoing importance of the current Salary Cap regulations.

As the game prepares for a season launch that celebrates the competitiveness of the 15 teams and as the CEOs had their first view of the advertising campaign which supports this theme, they underlined the role the salary cap was playing in the Telstra Premiership.

The Chief Executives were unanimous in their support of maintaining the cap.

"You've only got to look at a club like the Cowboys and what we've achieved in recent times to see the positives that the cap has brought to the game," Cowboys CEO Peter Parr said today.

Wests Tigers CEO Steve Noyce said that the cap had been an important part of last year's premiership:

"It's the biggest significant factor in our great game being able to put on 26 competitive rounds each year.

"Everyone would agree that the cap has been at its most effective in the last two seasons and everyone would also agree that these are the best two seasons the game has seen."

The CEOs also were firm on the need to maintain existing guidelines around employment options post football.

"Everyone in this game is working towards promoting off field education and employment opportunities," Souths Chief Executive Mr Shane Richardson said.

"Clubs will always value players once they retire but everyone also understands how the Salary Cap Auditor can determine when a rort is a rort in terms of promising income and spreading payments into retirement."

The Chief Executives also raised ongoing concerns into the roles of both players and player managers in Salary Cap issues and called for direct penalties to be imposed if the circumstances warrant it.

The CEOs also dismissed the idea of an anti tampering period to prevent coaches switching clubs.

The National Rugby League was also today presented with a stark warning from Clubs NSW and the Leagues Club Association that the game's future funding is in real question as a result of the NSW Government's poker machine taxes.

Clubs NSW continues to cite an independent financial report which shows that up to seven clubs: Wests Tigers, Canterbury, Cronulla, Manly, Parramatta, Penrith and Souths, will be unable to rely on existing levels of financial support from leagues clubs by 2007.

"The threat to the clubs is very real and it is important that the NRL clubs and the supporters of those clubs understand the threat that is faced as a result of this tax," Clubs NSW Chief Executive David Costello says.

"The government has mounted an ongoing campaign to tax only revenue and to talk in terms of revenue only, while ignoring the costs clubs incur in generating that revenue.

"Because of the way they have structured the tax the biggest blows are yet to come.

"Junior sports funding is already feeling the effect to some extent but the full effect will take all sporting clubs by surprise."

The Chief Executives have agreed to support Clubs NSW and The Leagues Club Association of NSW in highlighting the issue.

The Clubs today also agreed to continue the pre season Qantas Community Carnival which saw 100 players head to 40 regional locations to promote the game.

Clubs have again agreed to provide six players from the top 17 for three days of community work in February 2007 to destinations nominated by the NRL.

This year's Qantas Community Carnival resulted in a number of areas already recording increases in registrations even before the annual 'sign-ons' are completed.

Saints Pair Withdraw Ban Appeals

St Helens captain Paul Sculthorpe and team-mate James Graham have withdrawn their appeals against the bans they received after last week's Leeds clash.

Sculthorpe was suspended for one match for striking Leeds forward Ryan Bailey, while Graham was banned for two games for a similar offence on Rob Burrow.

And despite initially announcing their intention to contest the bans, the pair have opted to accept the decision.

It means they will both miss Friday's Super League clash against Warrington.

Graham will also miss next week's game against Huddersfield, while both players were fined �350.

The RFL disciplinary committee also banned Sam Obst for one game and fined him �350 for a dangerous tackle in Wakefield's win over Harlequins.

Taking the Plunge - Becoming A Full Time Coach.

By Wayne Goldsmith

Continued from Wednesday

5. Learn to ask the question "How much is my time worth". All professionals in any field of endeavour must know how to value their time.

6. Prioritise. Put first things first. As a professional coach, learn to ask three questions when allocatingtime and resources:

. Will this benefit my players?
. Will I make or lose money from this activity?
. Is this activity likely to benefit my players or make me money in the future?

Also, Learn to Say "No". Your coaching skills and communication abilities often make you in demand as a public speaker, presenter, educator, public relations representative and so on.

Whilst these are all excellent endeavours and might possibly return good things to you in the future, they often take you away from your key focus - Achieving performance results and making money.

7. Spend some time with full time professional coaches in several sports and talk to them about the practicalities of full time coaching.

8. If you are working with players who are likely to be earning substantial sums of money from their sporting careers, seek legal opinion and consider entering into a contract arrangement with them.

Standard percentage fees for professional sports management companies can run as high as 25%.
If your players are earning five figure sums, and your expertise is in part responsible for their success, why should you be accepting $20.00 per week coaching fees?

9. As with all plans, have a backup plan. If the move to full time permanent coaching does not work out, do you have the skills and qualifications to return to your usual or another occupation?

10. If you are lucky enough to obtain a coaching position with a guaranteed income (salary) have a legal specialist in contracts look over your contract before you sign it.

The contract should detail the conditions of employment. Some questions to ask:

. Does the contract cover coaching insurance, professional indemnity, public liability, sickness and accident insurance, life cover, health cover?
. When and how is the contract reviewed and renewed?
. What are your specific coaching duties and obligations?
. How is your performance to be assessed and measured?
. Who do you report to? An Executive Director? A Board?
. What are responsibilities for assistant coaches, junior staff, "non coaching" duties?
. When and how do you get paid?
. Is Superannuation included? Who is the Superannuation with? Can you increase your superannuation contribution?
. Do you have an expense account? If you are travelling, how are your expenses paid? Do you pay your own expenses and then claim later (not recommended)? Does the organisation pay for everything in advance?

These issues should be clearly and precisely written in your contract and should be reviewed by your legal representative before you sign it.

Taking the Plunge - Becoming A Full Time Coach.

By Wayne Goldsmith

Continued from Tuesday
Without premiership victories it is unlikely the coach's career will progress to higher paying positions. It is a vicious circle.

If you have a desire to coach full time and make a living from coaching here are a few suggestions:
1. Plan the move to full time coaching three to five years in advance. In this way you can methodically and systematically work towards full time coaching with a degree of financial security.

Walking out of a well paid full time job and hoping to fall into a successful coaching position that is just as well paid may be folly. You can get lucky, but chances are you will have to make your own luck.

2. Keep accurate records of the time and resources you allocate to the generation of coaching income. It may cost more than you realise to generate a reasonable income from full time coaching.

3. Understand exactly what expenses you can expect to pay as a professional coach. Some organisations who have given you free venue access or lent equipment in the past, may not be as generous when they realise you are no longer coaching for the sheer enjoyment.

Additional insurance cover, an office, equipment, telephone, travel costs, training venue hire etc: factor these costs into your fee structure.

4. If you have been a part time coach, you have more than likely been in the habit of doing a lot of extra things for nothing. A few extra sessions here and there, paying for your own travel to watch games and so on.

As a professional - DO NOT CONTINUE THIS PRACTICE.

The ethic of amateurism in sport does not exist in this century. Sports historians tell us it perhaps never existed.

If players are demanding your time and expertise - charge them appropriately.

Players will spend money on equipment, special foods, the latest boots, the best of everything and then, if you allow it, accept your expertise free of charge.

This change in mind set may be difficult for some coaches to embrace and yet their economic survival will depend on being able to effectively value their time and charge accordingly.

The toughest people to convince that they should pay you coaching fees are those who you have not charged in the past. Be prepared for some heartbreak in this regard. It is likely that some of your athletes may chose to look for "part time" coaching rather than pay for your professional expertise.

BISA to Meet at the Drop Kick Pub

Bulls supporters are to meet at the Drop Kick pub on Huddersfield Rd at 8pm on Wednesday 8 March with a view to forming a new committee for the Bradford Independent Supporters Association.

The meeting will be informal with a view to considering the future direction of BISA and then to form a new committee.

BISA committee member Sam Grundy said: "The Bulls off-field situation
has been well documented lately and the club could have some tough times ahead. It's times like these when supporters need to come together and speak with one voice. Fans need a forum to raise concerns and also may have good ideas they wish to share that may help the club."

"Its high time BISA resumed its position as the voice of the fans with
the club, with the media and with the RL world generally.

There have been more promising indications recently that the club may be more willing to listen to the fans than hitherto, and surely the best way to achieve this is for the fans to speak with a strong and united voice? So now would be a particularly good time for new voices, prepared to give a little time and a lot of enthusiasm for representing Rugby League supporters in Bradford, to step up to the BISA Committee and take BISA forward".

More information about BISA can be found at www.bisa.co.uk

For more information about this media release contact Sam Grundy.

Points Penalty Leaves the Warriors Out of the Running

By Greg Prichard

ANALYSIS

THE Warriors have been handicapped out of the running for this year's final series after being docked four points.

Teams such as Parramatta or St George Illawarra would be able to overcome such a penalty and still figure in the finish. After all, the Dragons lost five of their first six games last season, when they were torn apart by injury, before recovering to lose the minor premiership only on percentages to the Eels.

But the Warriors simply aren't good enough to come from two wins behind the rest of the 15-team field and finish in the top eight. They weren't good enough to make the finals after starting on level terms last year and they have since lost their best player in Stacey Jones.

Some will say the Warriors have been let off lightly compared with the Bulldogs, who were docked 37 points in 2002, but that is to ignore the different circumstances involved.

The rorts by the Bulldogs were twice as big as the rorts by the Warriors and the Bulldogs tried to survive through concealment while the new Warriors management took concerns to the League.

The Bulldogs were runaway competition leaders at the time, but they could hardly be allowed to challenge for the title.

Mathematically speaking, the Warriors aren't out of the running for anything based on a four-point penalty, but in reality they are. They would have been hard-pressed to make the finals in any case this year, but in a competition as even as the NRL it's going to be awfully difficult for what is effectively a mid-range team to make an impact coming off minus four.

The Warriors will pay a further price when player payments that are deferred to get the club under the cap for this year inevitably force them to shed players next year. It is a tough penalty, don't worry about that.

Taking the Plunge - Becoming A Full Time Coach.

By Wayne Goldsmith

Continued from Monday

Few coaches are fortunate to be able to coach without the added burden and responsibility for other (non coaching) duties.

Even the most high profile coaches spend a great deal of time in public relations, media commitments, board meetings, administration, sponsor commitments etc.

Many full time coaches at state level double as coaching co-ordinators, development officers and coach educators and spend more time on administration than player development - more time with paperwork than periodisation - more time on the telephone than on technique.

Some coaches, in sports like swimming, martial arts, tennis, and gymnastics work with junior level athletes and school programs during the day, run the training venue as a business, clean, double as receptionist and telephonist, maintenance supervisor, gardener, lifeguard and then coach early in the morning and late at night.

There are however, two ideal full time coaching situations:

1. To have the financial independence and security from "non coaching income" to allow you to coach the way you want, ie without compromise and without significant diversions.

2. Be sufficiently paid at your coaching job and have the support staff to allow you to coach without compromises to other (non-coaching) duties (administration, education, public relations).

In reality, these coaching positions rarely, if ever, exist.

The challenge is often the balance between the opportunity to produce great athletes with the opportunity to make money.

In a perfect world, they would be the same thing.

Unfortunately they often represent a direct conflict.

Players need the total commitment and dedication of their coach to achieve an optimum result. Yet, if the coach gives 100% to his players and the coaching position pays well less than the minimum wage, the coach is forced to seek alternate avenues for income.

As a result, the coach can no longer give the players 100% and team performances will reflect this.
