Darren Lockyer savours his hat-trick
By Mike Colman
TO the victor the spoils. A tired - no, make that exhausted - Darren Lockyer arrived back in Brisbane yesterday and had a rare few minutes to reflect on the most successful season by any captain in Australian rugby league history.
Lockyer, who led the Broncos to win the NRL premiership, the Maroons to an Origin series and the Kangaroos through the five-game Tri-Nations series, finally got his hands on the silverware and had to admit: "It looks pretty good, doesn't it?"
Click RLCMTV to view Darren Lockyer's Tri Nations Press Conference
The closest anyone else has come to his hat-trick is Allan Langer, who successfully led Brisbane, Queensland and Australia in a three-match series against New Zealand in 1998.
Lockyer scored the winning tries in the Origin and Tri-Nations deciders and set up Brent Tate's crucial score in the NRL grand final in what even one-time critics like Phil Gould are calling the ultimate "captain's knock".
But yesterday he reflected on the rocky season start and the crises of confidence which at one stage had him doubting his ability to lead.
Even last week, with two of the three trophies already locked up, the pressure to win the third was almost unbearable.
"You try not to think about outcomes but everyone kept bringing it up about winning all three," he said.
"It wouldn't ruin the season not winning it, but to have come so far and to miss out would have left us all with a lot of 'what ifs' and we didn't want that. It started to get to me a bit."
Added to the pressure was the pain from a wrist injury Lockyer had been carrying for the last part of the season and which will require surgery before next season. Little wonder his first thought after Saturday night's dramatic extra-time win was: "Thank goodness it's all over."
Not that any fulltime whistle could really end Lockyer's commitments.
After the grand final win he signed 1450 pieces of memorabilia and yesterday he filmed the latest NRMA TV ad before heading to the Broncos leagues club for the unveiling of a commemorative captain's jersey.
Today, finally, he heads to NZ for a two-week driving-camping holiday.
And as for next season? "You'd be doing well to beat this one," he said. Read more Courier Mail
Click COACHTALK for short RLCMTV takes of Shaun McRae Wayne Bennett, Neil Henry, Graham Murray and Tim Sheens. Next week Chris Fullarton will feature Young Roosters ready to fire - Chris Anderson Sydney Roosters coach Chris Anderson believes a new-look forward pack can pave the way for the side's young and inexperienced halves to make their mark on the NRL next year.
Despite the loss of ferocious hitman Adrian Morley, Anderson believes the Roosters have bolstered their frontline with the signing of Sharks hard men Danny Nutley and Chris Beattie and Nate Myles from the Bulldogs.
Anderson says the combination of strength and experience provided by the new recruits will ease the pressure on young halves Jamie Soward, Mitchell Pearce and Josh Lewis.
With Braith Anasta moving to lock and Brett Finch leaving for the Eels, the trio is expected to contest for the two spots. "These kids have been here for a few years now and I think they are ready," Anderson said.
"Having plenty of big blokes up front with leadership qualities will help them and hopefully take the pressure off."
Soward and Lewis were used in the halves at different stages of this season, while Pearce, the son of former Balmain great Wayne, will be thrown into the mix after impressing in Jersey Flegg.
"I think there is a lot of potential there and we will see some good footy out of the three of them," Anderson said.
Despite the loss of Morley, Anderson says the Roosters have a number of players who can fill the void left by the big Englishman.
"Nate Myles is a big strong kid who has impressed me already and then we've got guys like Anthony Tupou, Chris Beattie and Danny Nutley," he said.
"Someone like Nutley brings such a tremendous work ethic to the club."
The Roosters' squad is now back in pre-season training and working towards reaching full fitness before the Christmas break.
Despite being in the early days of his return to coaching, Anderson said he was confident of helping the club turn around its form after this season's disastrous campaign which saw it finish second-last.
"The players have got to get that belief back and we'll be working on doing that," he said.
"It's pretty easy at this time of year when you haven't lost a game, but I'm pretty happy across the board with how we're looking.
"At this stage of the season, we think we can win the competition and we'll sit down as a group soon and talk about our specific goals and the direction we want to head in.
"At the moment, it's a case of getting to know each other. I'm getting to know how they work and they're getting to know how I work."
Anderson has been out of the game since being sacked by the Sharks at the end of the 2003 season and since then his only coaching assignment has been a brief stint with Welsh rugby union club, Gwent Dragons.
But the former Australia winger who took Canterbury and Melbourne to premierships in the 1990s said he was returning to the game with renewed enthusiasm.
"It's been good for me to be outside the game for a while, because it has probably given me a different perspective of it and given me some fresh ideas," he said. Read more Foxsports

Puletua, 27, signed to play two seasons with the new NRL club after spending three years with Penrith, but he was granted a release on compassionate grounds today.
"Frank approached the club some months ago, requesting a release from his contract which was initially declined," Titans managing director Michael Searle said.
"Frank has recently had further issues arise, and he presented those circumstances to the club and his request for release based on compassionate grounds.
"The club has offered Frank an unconditional release, effective immediately, based on these compassionate grounds.
"I have today contacted (Penrith chief executive) Michael Leary and advised him of our decision and provided him with our support should the Penrith Panthers wish to sign Frank for a further term now that we have released him.
"It's important to note that the circumstances surrounding this compassionate release are private and confidential, and we would ask that the Puletua family' privacy is respected at this time." Read more Foxsports

Sublime Lockyer sorely tested The Aussie skipper played through the Tri-Nations tournament - not to mention the NRL premiership - with a wrist injury that requires surgery.
Stuart's perfect epilogue helped cut long story short WITH a 12-12 scoreline seemingly inevitable as the New Zealand goal kicker lined up a penalty kick in the final minutes of regulation time in the Tri-Nations final, an NRL official asked ARL chief executive Geoff Carr whether international rules allowed for a draw.
In a team of champions, one stood well above the rest A GRIPPING contest, decided in extra time, full of courage, contributing enormously to the credibility of international rugby league - there were no losers in this one. And a very relieved Australian team was crowned Tri-Nations champion.

Australia coach Ricky Stuart has hailed his side's extra-time victory over New Zealand in the Tri-Nations final as "a classic".
The Kangaroos reclaimed the Tri-Nations title after an epic tussle in Sydney which was decided by an 87th-minute 'golden try' by Australian skipper Darren Lockyer.
The trans-Tasman rivals were locked at 12-12 following normal time before Johnathan Thurston broke the Kiwis line to give Lockyer the opportunity of sealing a memorable 16-12 win.
The Kangaroos established a 10-2 advantage with a ninth-minute try from Brent Tate and three kicks from scrum-half Thurston.
The Kiwis cut the gap with a 29th-minute try from replacement Frank Pritchard and a 46th-minute score from Iosia Soliola made it 10-10 to set up a tense finale.
Thurston's penalty edged Australia ahead but Stacey Jones levelled the scores again with one of his own and the game went into extra time.
Stuart felt his side should have sealed the win sooner but saluted the Kiwis for playing their part in an absorbing contest.
"I probably see it through different eyes," he said. "I've got to sit there and watch players, make sure the interchange is right and that we're playing to our plan.
"But for me sitting in the box, I knew it was exciting and it's good for the people to be sitting on the edge of their seat.
"There were probably four opportunities there where we could have scored tries and we blew them," Stuart continued.
"I've been there before where you're the dominant team and each time you blow an opportunity, the other team grows confidence.
"I could really see the New Zealand boys growing energy out of it and we were keeping them in the game. So for them to hang in there turned it into a classic game."
The Kangaroos' victory will go a long way to erasing the memory of their shock 24-0 defeat by the Kiwis in last year's final and Stuart felt it was a just reward following a challenging Tri-Nations campaign.
"It was pretty nerve-wracking at the end there but you've got to try to keep your head," he said.
"It was very difficult because you know the players are under fatigue, and that there's a lot of emotion flowing.
"But the way that the boys grouped, and the way their team spirit was building and building and building right throughout the series, really helps in regards to winning tight games like that.
"You've got to be playing for each other to win them - New Zealand have certainly got it - and I think we showed tonight just how much it meant to us to win this series in the way we never gave up."
New Zealand lost three players to injury during the course of the match and coach Brian McClennan saluted his side for the way they battled against adversity.
"It shows you the character of the Kiwi team that everyone kept fighting like they did," he said.
"We were pretty much out of petrol but everyone kept digging in. We were out there fighting for our lives.
"I feel like the boys deserve more for their efforts but you've got to acknowledge Australia and Darren Lockyer getting the winning try was kind of fitting for them."
This year, Lockyer has skippered Queensland to victory in the State of Origin series, led the Brisbane Broncos to the NRL premiership and last week won the Rugby League International Federation's golden boot award for the second time.
"It's a special way to end a special year for me," he said. "It'll probably sink in more tomorrow."
Veteran New Zealand captain Ruben Wiki announced his international retirement after the game, as did team-mates Jones and Nigel Vagana.
The 33-year-old forward bows out after playing in a world-record 55 Tests but he did not want to detract from a great team performance and a thrilling match.
"I'm pretty gutted after the effort we put it, but someone had to win," he said.
"I think we've just witnessed a great game of rugby league so we should all take the positives out of it.
"I'm very proud of my boys and the coaching staff. We're one tight unit and I know New Zealand rugby league is in good hands.
"It's not about me," he added. "I'm just another player and everyone moves on.
"I've had a great ride and it's time for me to step aside and let the young guys take over."

Following Mason's chest-beating remarks about continuing his aggressive style despite returning from suspension, McClennan said the Kiwis were aiming to make Mason say after the game "he's never been tackled so hard around his legs".
Mason was last night named in the front row for the Tri-Nations final on Saturday night at Aussie Stadium after serving his ban for punching Great Britain's Stuart Fielden at the same ground.
And with the history between Mason and the Kiwis in this series - he was at the centre of more controversy in the early rounds when he swore at Brent Webb during the haka and criticised Kiwi second-rower David Kidwell - there are real fears the New Zealanders will attempt to bait the Bulldog into a confrontation, even though McClennan insisted they would let "bygones be bygones".
Stuart said he was unconcerned, almost daring the Kiwis to try.
"I don't know what they'll try," he said. "If they want to start baiting players . it doesn't come into our calculations. We've just got to be as disciplined as we can be."
McClennan revealed it had been a goal of the Kiwis to stop Mason during the tournament - which Kidwell certainly achieved when he put a shuddering shoulder-charge on him in the first match of the series which led to Mason's claims Kidwell didn't have the respect of the Australians.
"If you want to bring down tall timber, you have to get the legs first," McClennan said of Mason. "It's a little bit of a goal of ours, so that Willie says at the end of the game he's never been tackled so hard around his legs."
The coach likened a Kiwis win on Saturday to climbing Mt Everest, and added they would be entitled to the tag of New Zealand's best-ever side should they defend the title they won at Elland Road last year.
"Sir Edmund Hillary was the first man to climb Everest, which is a feat our country is very proud of," McClennan said. "For us it's like conquering Everest to be able to win two Tri-Nations in a row. We would be deemed the greatest Kiwis team in history.
"We're not putting the cart before the horse. It's about playing this Australian team, which is one of the best I have seen with its strike power. It would be huge to pull this one off."

See Coachtalk at RLCM TV Channel OneThe gap is as wide as ever By Phil Gould - THE ANALYST AUSTRALIA'S belting of Great Britain confirmed several things about our national team and international rugby league.
When the Kangaroos play to their true ability, they're far too good for their opponents. Several times during the past decade the Aussies have played poorly and lost to Great Britain or New Zealand. They then use the criticism they receive as motivation to win easily at their next meeting.
The irony is that by bouncing back so strongly they actually prove their critics right. Australia's elite players are very special talents and should never lose - not to Great Britain anyway, because they're clearly not good enough.
Many in England have taken umbrage at my comments that their domestic competition is of a poor standard and their national team suffers from amateurish ways. Quite simply, there's too big a difference between their best and their worst performances - and sometimes we get these in the same half of football.
Their best is pretty good. However, their worst is horrible and all too frequent. They beat Australia two weeks ago but have been belted 77-14 in two games since. There's no consistency in their intensity.
They enjoy good passages of play but follow up with a diabolical series of fundamental errors. They can display great courage and resolve, then inexplicably spoil it with the most uncaring of efforts.
They bunch when tired. Their "off the ball" disciplines are poor, to say the least. Their attack often stalls into the farcical scene of players standing still and slowly passing the ball to each other, hoping someone runs with it.
They don't possess the acute anticipation of danger that has been instilled in Australian players, which is indicative of a limited football education rather than lack of desire.
But the saddest thing about Great Britain's supporters is their total denial or awareness of these problems. Occasionally the Brits will keep the scores close or even beat Australia and this gives them false justification for their ways and misplaced hope for the future.
Don't blame the messenger for the message. If the Brits really want to seriously compete with Australia and New Zealand on the international stage they have to change their thinking and the way they develop their domestic competition.
They have some very good individual players but sadly they'll never realise their full potential unless they come and play in Australia. That's a sad indictment on England.
The gap is as wide as ever
Anyway, back to Australia.
Darren Lockyer was great. He scored a try and had a hand in four others. He was more effective because he had less to do and this allowed him to concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
A few things contributed to this.
Cameron Smith was allowed to play his natural game from dummy half. This assisted our forwards to be more dominant over the advantage line. The return of Johnathan Thurston to halfback made a huge difference to the attack. It was an absolute travesty of justice this kid was dropped two weeks ago and he proved this on Saturday night with a man-of the-match display.
Australia's attack looked faster, more potent and infinitely less predictable with Thurston in control.
Case closed.
Thurston and Smith were a constant annoyance to Great Britain with their probing runs and short passing raids through the middle of the ruck. But it goes to show that if you want to gain maximum benefit out of Lockyer's unique skills and talents, then everyone else has to do their job better and allow him to chime in when the opportunities arise.
Just hitting the ball up for a couple of rucks before spinning it two passes wide to Lockyer so he can hopefully weave some magic is not what I see as an optimum use of resources.
That was our game plan two weeks ago and we suffered an embarrassing defeat. Encourage everyone else to contribute more and let Lockyer join the action when he sees fit - that's a sure-fire formula for success.
The Aussies will get much sterner opposition from the Kiwis in next week's final but I have unshakeable belief in our game's best players and I know they'll rise to the challenge.
It's the last game of the year, boys. Bring the trophy back home.
Golden Boot tipped to fit skipper AUSTRALIA captain Darren Lockyer is the favourite to win the Gillette Golden Boot award as the world's best player at a function in Sydney tonight. Kiwis coach hails Lockyer NEW Zealand coach Brian McClennan yesterday said Australia skipper Darren Lockyer was destined for immortal status. Kite lifts after Stuart adjusts the lines IF BRENT Kite thought he was being promoted to the starting side for Saturday night's Tri-Nations showdown with Great Britain, he was in for a rude shock. Back, bigger and better than ever BENJI Marshall has packed on six kilograms of muscle since having shoulder surgery to ensure he comes back bigger and better next season. Kangaroos far too slick as gritty Lions are outplayed AUSTRALIA saved their best for the end to send the Great Britain players on an early flight home from the Tri-Nations last night. Kiwis question Kaufusi's Australian eligibility NEW Zealand officials attempted to block Antonio Kaufusi from making his Test debut against Great Britain last night by questioning his eligibility to play for Australia. Hey, let's try something new - give Lockyer some ball MARK down last night as surely the end of another rugby league myth. Darren Lockyer does work as a playmaker, rather than simply a player. Read more SMH `Out' offer to renegade Titan Steve Turner By Luke Turgeon RENEGADE Titan Steve Turner has been offered a 'get out of the Gold Coast' clause after just one season if he is unhappy living on the glitter strip.
In a move designed to speed up negotiations with the winger, Titans chief executive Michael Searle said he put the deal on the table because he believes that once Turner finally makes it to the Coast the 22-year-old won't want to leave.
"What we have done as part of the negotiations is that I have offered to his manager that we would consider releasing him on October 31 if he didn't want to stay," said Searle. "It basically means there would be an out clause within 12 months if he was uncomfortable with the place.
"He has been saying that he is not comfortable coming here, but this shows that we are operating in good faith. We would like to think he would at least come here and experience it first.
"From our point of view, if he comes here and tries it and doesn't enjoy it, then he is free to go.
"If he wants to go back to Melbourne after that then good luck to him. I will drop him off at the airport if he wants.
"But I would be very surprised if he came here and didn't want to stay long term."
Turner verbally agreed to a three-year contract with the Titans in June before getting cold feet and re-signing with the Storm a month later.
The NRL has made it clear they will not register Turner's new contract with the Storm, believing he should honour his commitment to the Gold Coast.
As a result, Turner's only real options are to play for the Titans or sit out the next three seasons.
"If they do decide to go to court this dispute could be more than 12 months in the courts anyway," said Searle. "The 12-month offer shows the club is acting in good faith, the way it has done throughout the entire process.
"We are empathetic that he may be thinking twice about his decision but it doesn't remove the obligation to his original commitment.
"But that (the one-season deal) would only be if he came here.
"If he doesn't he is sitting on the sidelines for the next three years."
The news follows reports at the weekend that the Titans were offered the services of Queensland centre Adam Mogg and financial compensation in exchange for letting Turner remain in Melbourne. Turner's manager Dave Riolo did his best to broker the deal, which would have seen Mogg abandon plans to join English Super League club Catalans.
But the deal fell through when Melbourne would not meet the compensation criteria.
"The number of offers that were put to us for players to substitute were wide and varied," said Searle.
"The most likely one was Adam Mogg, but at the end of the day it wasn't an easy deal to achieve and Melbourne thought that the compensation request was too much for them."

It takes 20 years to become an overnight success. Successful coaches have a combination of experience, skill, education and practice, developed ways and means of getting the best out of themselves and their athletes.
Here are 101 Coaching tips to help you achieve your coaching goals.
Continued from last week
13. Seek out information - don't wait for the "secret to success" to fall into your lap.
14. Coach with your heart but don't forget the basics. Secure adequate training facilities, keep good records, observe O.H. and S. principles, maintain a commitment to safety and equity. Having the 'nuts and bolts' organised allows you to focus on what you do best - working with athletes.
15. Believe in your athletes - they believe in you.
16. Steal ideas from other sports (and improve on them)
17. Strive to make yourself redundant - develop independent athletes.
18. Listen with your eyes and watch with your ears.

English recruit Mathers enjoys Coast lifestyle
By Luke Turgeon
IT hasn't taken long for Titans' English recruit Richie Mathers to settle into life on the Gold Coast.
The 23-year-old former Leeds star is already planning a Christmas barbecue by the beach, instead of a typically English turkey dinner by an open fire.
"It is great to be here and the weather is just a bonus," said Mathers, who arrived on the Coast just two weeks ago.
"I can't wait for Christmas.
"Christmas is always cold and snowy back home so it would be great to have a barbie by the beach."
Fullback Mathers, who started training with the rest of his Titans teammates at Runaway Bay this week, is also enjoying running around the paddock in a singlet and shorts.
Pre-season training in England involves three layers of clothing on top, a pair of tights, tracksuit bottoms and a beanie.
"This time of year it would probably be two degrees over there," said Mathers, a member of the Leeds 2004 Super League premiership and victorious 2005 World Club Challenge sides.
"I have spoken to a few of the boys who have already started pre-season training over there and they are struggling a bit in the cold.
"It is very cold and all of the fields are frosty and snowy. It is not enjoyable."
By the sound of things, neither is training under Titans fitness coach Billy Johnstone.
Mathers is in the final stages of rehab after having a knee reconstruction in June and said while he was not yet back in full training, strength and conditioning boss Johnstone had made sure he wasn't missing out on the fun.
"The club and Billy have been really good about it, not thrown me straight in running wise," said Mathers, who has settled on the Coast with girlfriend Sasha Darmbrough. "But I am getting flogged in a heap of other ways, swimming and biking. I just want to make sure I am raring to go for the start of the season."
History shows that only a handful of Great Britain's best have made the grade in Australia.
Mathers, who was considered hot property in the Super League, is under no illusions just how tough the NRL will be.
"I understand that not many are perceived to have made it over here," he said.
"But that is another thing in itself.
"I am just coming out to learn and hopefully secure a starting spot.
"Speaking to a lot of the Australian's who play in England, they say it is a different world in terms of professionalism and how hard you train. But that was the thing that excited me."
Mathers and fellow Titans winger Brian Carney will be the only British players in the NRL next year, following the departure of Roosters enforcer Adrian Morley.
AUSTRALIA have set a desperate tone for their Tri-Nations showdown with Great Britain tomorrow night in Brisbane, revealing they are treating the match as a "must-win" encounter despite an open passage to the final a week later.
The Australians will advance to the final at Aussie Stadium win, lose or draw tomorrow, but the players are intent on avoiding flying back to Sydney following two straight losses.
Also heavily in their thoughts is the prospect of becoming the first Australian side to lose twice to Great Britain in a calendar year in more than three decades.
But of most concern is their recent record. The Kangaroos' playing standards have clearly dropped since their opening-match win over New Zealand in Auckland. A fortuitous victory over the Kiwis in Melbourne came next, and was followed by a 23-12 loss to the Lions.
The feeling is the Australians will find it difficult to win the final at Aussie Stadium on Saturday week following consecutive losses to the Lions, who will be equally eager for victory tomorrow night, knowing a loss will end their tour.
"It's definitely must-win for us," halfback Johnathan Thurston said yesterday. "All the boys took the loss pretty hard, and they're looking to rectify that this weekend."
Prop Mark O'Meley was equally forthright: "We need to go into the final with confidence. You love to have your confidence, don't you. You need to have your cohesion and your rhythm, know that everything you're practising is working. It would be a lot different if we lost.
"Ricky's let us know - we need to win this to have the confidence. I don't think anyone's thought of the final yet, too. We can't underestimate Great Britain. We desperately want to get out there and play some good football."
It's clear this rubber is far from a dead one for the Kangaroos. Their stuttering momentum aside, there's also a pseudo-Ashes defeat to consider.
Even if the Lions went on to lose the final, the consolation prize would still be significant, not to mention damning for the Australians; they will have managed to knock the Kangaroos off in two of three matches in what would normally amount to a series win.
The last time that happened was in 1970, when Great Britain won the Ashes 2-1, led by the likes of Mal Reilly, Cliff Watson and Roger Millward.
"That's something we're really keen to keep in this Australian side - the history," centre Mark Gasnier said. "That's something we're very proud of, something we want to uphold. We're very much motivated by that. SMH

By Steve Ricketts
BRISBANE'S Suncorp Stadium is set to miss out on next year's Trans-Tasman rugby league Test in April because of a glut of big matches.
With 42,000 tickets sold for tomorrow night's Tri-Nations clash between Australia and Britain, Suncorp Stadium has advanced its claims for more international league.
But the fact two State of Origin matches and at least 14 NRL matches have been scheduled for the 53,000-capacity venue next year has administrators worried.
The Broncos will have 12 home matches at Suncorp and the Gold Coast Titans two.
In addition, St George Illawarra is considering moving its round 12 clash with the Broncos from Sydney to Brisbane.
The April 20 Test comes a week after the Titans-Broncos match at Suncorp and a month before the first Origin clash.
"The Queensland public's response to representative football has to be acknowledged and that is sure to happen in 2008 when we host the World Cup," ARL chief executive Geoff Carr said yesterday.
"But next year we have to be careful we do not over saturate the market. That's not to say Brisbane won't get the Trans-Tasman Test."
A crowd of 44,191 attended the Trans-Tasman Test at Suncorp Stadium on May 5.
Australia is guaranteed a place in the Tri-Nations final in Sydney tomorrow week and Britain will qualify if it wins tomorrow, otherwise New Zealand will be there.
The Kiwis arrived in Sydney on Wednesday confident Australia will win tomorrow.
But British coach Brian Noble believes his side can spring an upset .
"We came here wanting to earn respect and we've got one foot in the door," he said. "We need to put two feet through by winning tomorrow." Read more Courier Mail Britain to face Roos backlash
By Dan Koch
NEW ZEALAND coach Brian McClennan believes Australia will be driven to victory tomorrow night by the fear of becoming the first Kangaroos side in more than three decades to lose successive Tests to Britain.
The Kiwis' hopes of defending their Tri-Nations crown in Sydney next weekend rely on Australia bouncing back from an upset 23-12 loss to the Lions in Sydney a fortnight ago.
While he would like to believe in the idea of some "brotherly love" between trans-Tasman neighbours, McClennan conceded the Kangaroos would get more motivation from the threat of becoming the first Australian side since 1970 to lose back-to-back matches to the Lions.
That year, the tourists, led by Roger Millward and Mal Reilly, came back from a loss in game one of the three-game series to secure successive wins.
Since then, France is the only team to have recorded successive wins over Australia, beating a Kangaroos team coached by Frank Stanton and captained by Bob Fulton twice in 1978.
It is an imposing record, which McClennan said makes Australian teams especially dangerous following a defeat.
"Australia is just lethal after a loss," McClennan said.
"The Australian rugby league team has been one of the most successful sporting teams in the world over the last 30 years.
"They have so much depth and have proven time and again they know what it takes to win at this level. They love being part of the big games. It has been a very, very long time since anyone beat them twice and I know this team won't want to be the one to end that record."
McClennan, who will travel to Brisbane with assistant coach Tony Iro to watch the game, predicted Brian Noble's men would challenge the Australians, despite their poor showing in New Zealand last weekend and a drama-filled preparation.
Against the Kiwis, the Lions were a shadow of the disciplined, hard-working outfit which trumped Australia at Aussie Stadium and suffered an enormous blow when halfback Sean Long -- man of the match against Australia -- flew home on Monday amid a storm of controversy.
McClennan conceded Long's experience and direction would be missed, but said Britain traditionally responded well to such turmoil.
"They have always been a side which enjoys having their backs against the wall," McClennan said. "They tend to handle adversity well and use it positively, so I am expecting a terrific match.
"Great Britain has everything to play for and the Australians will be out with a point to prove in front of a big home crowd."
It was a sentiment shared by Australia backrower Luke O'Donnell, who claimed the Kangaroos "owed" the Lions, following the loss in Sydney.
Speaking after the team's closed training run at Suncorp Stadium, O'Donnell said the Kangaroos were desperate to make amends for their error-ridden showing and head into next week's final with some confidence.
"There is definitely a feeling that we need to even things up because they got one up on us down in Sydney," O'Donnell said. "This definitely isn't a dead rubber for us. We need to improve a lot of things before the final. Our last-tackle options need to be better and we need to be more patient. Last time we were just pushing passes and that leads to mistakes.
"Everyone is just looking forward to getting out there now, because we owe them one."
O'Donnell said no one player had put his hand up to replace the suspended Willie Mason as the team's "enforcer", but said the forwards had discussed the need to lay a better platform for halves Darren Lockyer and Johnathan Thurston.
"Willie is a leader and is a big presence out on the field, but guys like Petero (Civoniceva) and Nathan Hindmarsh can take over that role," O'Donnell said.
"We have the players there to cover for Willie, as long as we all step up and do our jobs." The AustralianAIS/ARL Rugby League Team Defeat France Under 18 The AIS /ARL Rugby League team opened their tour of France and England with a resounding win over the French under 18 team by 36 to 8 at Mazamet in the south of France on Wednesday.
Rockhampton flyer Sam Joe who is heading to the Melbourne Storm next year scored two tries in a Aussie blitz of speed and skill to set up a half time lead of 18 to 6.
Joe who only moved to Rockhampton two years ago from Moa Island in Torres Strait proved he was a player of the future out playing the French in the first half.
Head Coach Brian Johnson praised the efforts of the French at the post match reception indicating that the efforts to build French Rugby League were showing signs of great progress.
The match was the first of a four game tour France and Great Britain for the AIS/ARL team who comprise of talented 17 and 18 year old players from around Australia. NRL Online Little Battlers Warm the Heart
AMID the big hits, big tries and big matches of season 2006, it's been the phenomenal hearts of some tiny footballers which have come to the fore.
This year it has been the pleasure of the QRL to hear the stories of two inspirational characters who personify the spirit of rugby league - Jacob Ryan and Charlie Hohn.
Jacob, 7, has spent this past season playing the house down with the Rosewood Roosters in the Ipswich Junior Rugby League, while Charlie has given the same enthusiasm for the Goondiwindi Under 10s in the Warwick junior competition.
Their efforts are made more remarkable by the fact that Jacob is battling leukemia and Charlie is afflicted by the incurable blood disease hypogammaglobulinemia.
In both cases their medical conditions have led to the odd week off footy here and there, either for treatment or recovery. But so far adversity has failed to dampen their eagerness to get on with being ?one of the team?.
The heart-warming stories go wider than the two boys in question. Indeed, it has only been through the understanding and acceptance of teammates, opposition members, coaches and club officials that their dreams have been made possible.
For rookie Jacob, his story started with a Come-n-Try day back in the early months of this year.
After his older brother signed up with Rosewood, Jacob pestered parents Sonia and Alan to play. But knowing their son had a portacath, a central line to administer chemotherapy and blood transfusions in his chest, they decided the prospect was too risky.
Only constant hounding from Jacob and smart thinking from Roosters secretary Joanne Ryan (no relation) made his debut for Rosewood possible.
In attack Jacob went into dummy-half on each play, where he could not be tackled in under 7s. Meanwhile in defence he shuffled out to the wing and away from the action.
" Initially his Mum came to us and said she'd pay full fees just so he could sit on the sideline each week and feel part of the team," Joanne Ryan explains.
"But we thought we could do better than that. With the coach Pat O'Neill's encouragement and the help of the other kids, he never had a worry.
"It actually worked out well for the team because having the same dummy-half each time avoided a lot of the confusion and jostling you get with kids at that age."
In a tribute to Jacob, the Ipswich Junior Rugby League recently presented him a special achievement award at a gala evening.
A speech was read out to explain Jacob?s plight, detailing how it had lifted his family?s spirits and given him a feeling of acceptance.
"There was barely a dry eye in the audience after the presentation," IJRL chairman Brad Wolens said.
"I tracked down a copy of the speech and must admit the first half-dozen or so times I re-read it, there was a lump in the throat and a tear in the eye.
"Nine out of 10 sporting clubs would turn the kid away, but Rosewood actually went above and beyond the call.
"We gave the club a special shield which had the inscription 'For helping a young fella achieve his hopes and dreams'."
One person in the audience moved by the emotional scenes was Gold Coast Titans head coach John Cartwright, who of his own accord went to meet the Ryan family.
He gave Jacob a personal message of congratulations and welcomed him to attend future Titans events as a guest of honour.
Further west on the Southern Downs, it was the story of fellow battler Charlie Hohn which brought a similar response from another rugby league legend - Mal Meninga.
The Queensland Origin coach heard how Charlie had been born with a rare blood disease which had already claimed the lives of four of his uncles.
As a result of the debilitating condition, Charlie spent the first two years of his life in a sterile environment, forcing him to start school late.
Since then the mad Queensland Maroons and Brisbane Broncos fan has endured constant blood tests and Intragram infusions, necessitating endless hospital visits.
Despite all the setbacks and health concerns, Charlie has been hell-bent on fulfilling his commitment to the Goondiwindi club and each week has been toughing it out on the paddock.
As with Jacob, this has been done with great co-operation from teammates and officials.
When Big Mal received a letter and picture of Charlie sitting in his rugby league 'shrine' this year, he fired back a personalised reply, a signed Queensland jersey and other Maroons memorabilia.
The reception of the package exemplified just how much the game meant to little Charlie, his friends and family.
"Mal, the letter was truly heart-touching. Charlie's mother began reading the letter, got to the first paragraph and cried," wrote back family friend Frank Hartin.
"After everything she's been through it takes a bit to get her emotional, but I could see she was blown away.
"From the deepest parts of our hearts we really do thank you."
Yet while it was Meninga being offered thanks, common sense dictates it should be the likes of Charlie and Jacob given rousing applause.
For their effort, courage and pride reminds us all as to why we love the game so much.
It inspires everyone to dig that little bit deeper, believe in themselves and enjoy sport for what it really means.

Click for Latest NEWS Gold Coast Titans tell Steve Turner he's welcome
By Margie McDonald
Gold Coast Titans managing director Michael Searle has offered a one-on-one meeting with Steve Turner, if it will convince the young outside back that there are no hard feelings towards him.
Searle held out the olive branch yesterday as pre-season training deadlines for Melbourne Storm and the Titans approach, with Turner having to decide on which club he intends linking with in 2007.
The 22-year-old's only option, if he wants to play in 2007, appears to be Gold Coast, given the NRL has agreed that he must honour the verbal contract he made with the expansion club. To stay with Melbourne means a three-season stint on the sidelines.
Turner agreed to a three-year deal with Gold Coast in July before changing his mind and re-signing with the Storm in August. But the NRL has refused to register the Melbourne contract.
"No-one can make him play -- it's not in our power, the Titans' or the courts'," said NRL chief executive David Gallop yesterday.
"But it's certainly in the NRL's power to side with the Titans and refuse to register the second contract with the Storm, simply on the basic notion of fairness."
While there are no formal provisions for mediation in disputed contracts, Gallop said if the parties involved in the Turner affair wanted it, he would see what he could do.
"There's been nothing, formally," said Gallop, when asked if mediation had been sought. "But we're happy to be involved in more discussions." Turner's manager and Storm chief executive Brian Waldron could not be contacted yesterday, but Searle said the time for mediation had passed.
"This thing has gone on for some three months and there's been extensive negotiations around it -- we haven't been sitting on our hands. I think mediation has passed," Searle said. "The likelihood of us finding a replacement player is near impossible."
He said he was not confident mediation would bring Turner back to Gold Coast's fold.
"I'm hopeful recent discussions between his manager and me will do that, anyway," he said. "I think the greatest hurdle we face is a personal one for Steve, in that he needs to feel he's going to be welcome here."
Searle has dealt with Turner's manager and not the player, although coach John Cartwright and football manager Scott Sattler have done so.
"But if it takes a meeting between Steve and myself to give him comfort we don't have any ill feelings towards him, I'll do it."
In late August, Searle said Turner could sit out his three-year contract if he refused to budge, as Gorden Tallis sat out 1996 when St George would not let him go to Brisbane.
Gallop is hoping Turner turns up on the Gold Coast by November 24.
"My dialogue has been with the two clubs and the player's agent. And certainly the agent has made it very clear to me from day one that he believed he had struck a deal with the Titans."
"And that's one of the strong reasons why we (the NRL) have backed the Titans on this issue ... players and clubs have to honour commitments." Gallop said. Read more The AustralianMy prediction was right - it was just a week early
By Phil Gould
NEW Zealand's thumping of Great Britain has restored some sanity to the Tri-Nations.
After Great Britain defeated Australia last weekend I thought I was going mad.
But the Kiwis dominated Saturday's match to expose the gap between the standards of league played in the northern and southern hemispheres.
When I watched New Zealand graft out a solid victory against the Lions two weeks ago in Christchurch, I said in this column that the 18-14 scoreline was no indication of New Zealand's superiority and that the Kiwis played very conservative football to ensure they secured their first win of the series. Had New Zealand kept their foot on the accelerator, they could have won very comfortably.
I said Great Britain were way off the pace and wouldn't win a game in this three-team competition. I criticised the English Super League and said anyone suggesting their standard was improving to anywhere near that of our own NRL competition was insane.
I predicted Australia would run up a big score the following week. You can imagine my surprise when Great Britain stepped out seven days later and defeated the Kangaroos on Australian soil. Ouch!
People then quite cynically suggested my stinging criticism of the British was designed to motivate them into a better performance against the Aussies. What an absurd suggestion.
I watched the Great Britain-Australia game closely. Despite their emotion-charged victory, Great Britain looked vulnerable in defence; and their attack was predictable, slow and amateurish.
I put the shock result down to Australia's poor form and ridiculous selection process rather than any brilliant play on behalf of the tourists.
Surely everyone could see that? But then everyone started praising the Pommies.
They pushed it to extremes by talking up Great Britain's tremendous ability, how they completely outplayed Australia and that this could be the year they finally capture a Tri-Nations series trophy.
It had me walking around in a daze. The voices in my head were screaming at me. Like you, I've tolerated the promotional propaganda surrounding these international matches for years, but I never really thought people believed this stuff.
It started me thinking. Were these people right? Am I the crazy one? After watching the Kiwis demolish Great Britain in Wellington on Saturday, I now know they were just playing with my head.
There's a saying in formula one motor racing: "When the flag drops, the bullshit stops."
Well, the flag dropped for Great Britain on Saturday.
After having competition points deducted over the Nathan Fien "grannygate" affair, the Kiwis got serious and left nothing to chance.
They had to win by more than 14 points to put the pressure back on Great Britain and keep alive the hope of defending their Tri-Nations title.
They tore the visitors apart with physical intimidation and breath-taking skill.
Led by inspirational captain Ruben Wiki, Kiwi forwards Roy Asotasi, David Kidwell, David Fa'alogo, Nathan Cayless, Adam Blair and Frank Pritchard ran roughshod.
Even the outside backs came into the middle of the field and joined the "bash up".
Shontayne Hape, Iosia Soliola, Steve Matai and Manu Vatuvei charged fearlessly at the forwards, bending them backwards with every run.
Half Stacey Jones and fullback Brent Webb provided the finesse in the Kiwis' attack and created some brilliant tries.
You get a similar level of heightened excitement watching the Kiwis' style of play as you experience watching high-performance cars speed around a tight-turning race track. Their raw power and unique skill-set is hypnotic; but the enjoyment is tempered by this fearful anticipation in your guts they could easily crash on the next turn.
New Zealand showed that if you come at Great Britain with serious power and a simple game plan, you will win.
In Test football, everyone is committed and everyone plays tough. But that's a given.
You still have to plan your game and play smart. Great Britain can't do that. New Zealand have proved they're capable. It's up to Australia to show them how it's really done.

Neil Henry, Assistant Queensland Coach, Assistant NQ Cowboys Coach, 2007 Canberra Raiders Coach. The FOURTH ELEMENT in coaching Rugby League
By Bob Wood
ARL Level 2 Coach
There are four elements in coaching Rugby League: physical, technical, tactical, mental.
The proportion in which these elements are coached depends on the age group and experience of your team.
Continued from Wednesday
Life was ordered, structured and with well defined boundaries.
Society has changed and today the training paddock is often the only area where discipline is both required and demanded.
The football team is the only area in their life that is ordered, structured and with well defined boundaries. The footy coach has taken over the role previously exercised by the priest, policeman and teacher, albeit without the boot up the backside.
Too often you also find yourself fulfilling the role of dad as well.
Society is putting more demands and pressures on the young than ever before.
Each of these demands and pressures will affect your players on the training paddock and their performance on the field. At most you probably only get three or four hours per week with your players, out of 112 waking hours.
That means that other people have a much greater potential to influence your players than you do. The only way that you can ensure that you have sufficient influence over these players is by coaching the 'fourth element'.
To coach the 'fourth element' you must take a personal interest in every player, you must coach every player as an individual, you must coach with humour and you must coach with enthusiasm.
Look for anything that a player does well and be lavish in your praise with every player.
I still have young men seek me out to thank me for my coaching from years ago. The comments are always along the lines that it was the most enjoyable time of their lives.
Often I get comments that it was only through their involvement with footy that stopped them from going down the wrong path later in life.
I too have been beaten by sides full of super stars, but my coaching is more long term than that. My teams last, my players return and eventually those super star teams start to fall by the wayside.
Forget about all those hypnotists, you can coach the 'fourth element' just by taking a personal interest in each and every player. Your players will respond in ways that you won't believe.
You will get more out of the players than you will by using any other method.

Neil Henry, Assistant Queensland Coach, Assistant NQ Cowboys Coach, 2007 Canberra Raiders Coach. The FOURTH ELEMENT in coaching Rugby League
By Bob Wood
ARL Level 2 Coach
There are four elements in coaching Rugby League: physical, technical, tactical, mental.
The proportion in which these elements are coached depends on the age group and experience of your team.
Continued from Monday
As I continued with my coaching I became more and more concerned that I was only coaching three quarters of the required elements.
Eventually, I discovered the secret to coaching the 'fourth element', and it made a huge impact on both my coaching and the performance of my teams.
To understand the secret to coaching the 'fourth element', first you must understand what you are coaching. I have asked a number of coaches over the years that question.
What is your answer? What are you coaching?
A lot of coaches answer that they are 'coaching Rugby League', or a 'Rugby League team'. The few coaches who answered they are 'coaching Rugby League players or athletes' are closer to the answer.
But you are in fact coaching young, often immature and uncertain people, seeking guidance and self esteem.
Each of these people has a lot of other influences in their life. In years gone by the local priest, teachers, fathers and policeman provided discipline for these young people, often with a boot firmly planted in the backside.

KANGAROOS coach Ricky Stuart has slammed the Tri-Nations judiciary and promised tit-for-tat citings after prop Willie Mason was suspended for punching Stuart Fielden.
The decision has been labelled a farce by former Test prop Greg Dowling who dismissed the Lions as whingeing Poms for citing Mason while Stuart admitted he had let his enforcer down.
"If I had've taken a tit-for-tat approach on Saturday night with the other guys that were involved in the striking and the brawling we probably would have got Willie off," said a furious Stuart yesterday.
"I said earlier that the coaches shouldn't have any involvement in charging a player but to save your players you're better off having a tit-for-tat attitude.
"I don't like that because its not my go in regards to putting a player in. I don't want a player to be missing any of the important games and missing Test matches.
"It is disappointing for the player and the coach and the team but that's the course we're being pushed down from the result last night."
Dowling agreed with Stuart and claimed if anyone should have been banned it was British captain Jamie Peacock for sparking a melee in their weekend Tri-Nations match after Mason's punch.
Dowling known for his 1985 sideline brawl with Kiwi Kevin Tamati was flabbergasted that Mason had copped a one-match ban and $5000 fine for something '90 per cent of forwards would have done'.
"The next bloke who came racing in, Peacock, should have been the one suspended because that's the one who started the all-in blue," he said.
Dowling cheekily said he 'wasn't surprised' that the Brits instigated action against Mason.
"They (Tri-Nations judiciary) practically said 'let's leave it on the field' at the start of the series, but what do you know, the Pommies have come out whingeing," he said.
"Test football is tough football. Willie Mason was playing for his country, he was leading us from the front you can't get down on him for that."
Stuart warned on October 29 that the Tri-Nations judiciary had set a 'dangerous precedent' by failing to cite any players from the tournament's first three explosive matches.
Most notably, no action was taken against British forward Adrian Morley punching New Zealand fullback Brent Webb on October 28 and now Stuart believes Mason has been made a scapegoat for that lack of action by the judiciary.
"They had set a precedent which was wrong at the start of the series," said Stuart of the Tri-Nations disciplinary set-up. "They knew they'd made errors in regards to the lack of charging after some incidents and they've changed course half way through the series which is unfortunate for Willie and the Australian team."
Most agree Mason would have been charged had the match been played under NRL conditions. Yet the Kangaroos say they only want the same deal other sides have been getting, including Great Britain.
"If Morley got away with it, don't you think Willie is hard done by?" said Dowling.

Half measures fail the test
By Phil Gould
ANALYSIS
WHY wasn't Johnathan Thurston playing halfback for Australia on Saturday night? And why didn't more people raise this question once it was announced Thurston was being replaced by St George Illawarra utility back Ben Hornby?
Since when have Australia ever rested the game's No.1 halfback for a Test match against Great Britain, especially when it's played here in Australia?
These historic matches don't come around often enough to justify denying someone the opportunity to play in one of these games, especially when they've thoroughly earned the right to do so.
His omission has shown the importance of history, the Australian Test jersey, Great Britain and Thurston no respect whatsoever.
The position of halfback in the Australian rugby league team is one of great importance and prestige. It's a job that must be earned and should never be open to experiment.
Many players in the NRL could handle playing halfback for Australia; but only a special few ever earn the right.
It's like the wicketkeeper position in Australian cricket team. Think Rod Marsh, Ian Healy, Adam Gilchrist - "one-in-an-era" players. Sure, selectors may occasionally rest the main man for a tour game, but never for the main event.
A Test match in Australia against Great Britain is a chance for our elite young players to walk in the footsteps of past greats and make their own mark in history.
Sadly, Great Britain seldom travel to Australia these days. For Thurston, this was a rare opportunity to be a part of such a memorable event. It's like playing in the Boxing Day cricket Test, or getting a ride in the Melbourne Cup.
Thurston earned this special moment but instead was forced to watch from the sidelines while a utility player took his spot. The people responsible should know better.
Everyone who selects this team is a former Test footballer. How would they feel if their chance to play a Test against Great Britain on home soil in front of family and friends was handed to a player who didn't even specialise in that position?
Thurston is entitled to be filthy with this unfair treatment. They said he was being rested; however, they also suggested Australia wanted to improve their combination in the halves. Quite clearly these two explanations are contradictory.
After all, why would he need a break? Injury forced him to miss five weeks' football before this year's semi-final series, and the Australian team also had the bye last weekend. He didn't need a rest and he certainly didn't deserve to be dropped.
Thurston was 2005 Dally M and players' association player of the year. This season he helped lead Queensland to Origin glory against all odds.
Australia won their first two Tri-Nations games against New Zealand with Thurston at halfback and he was awarded man of the match in game one.
He's clearly the best halfback in Australia and should be left there for at least the next three years to develop his combination with the great Darren Lockyer.
Don't get me wrong, Hornby is a fine player. I like him. His versatility could be well utilised coming off the bench to cover for injuries during a game. But he's not even the regular halfback with his own club.
Maybe if they were on tour in England and playing Blackpool in a midweek game you could justify giving Hornby a hit-out. But a Test match in Sydney against Great Britain? Never!
Thurston's omission was a disgrace. Australia's attack didn't click into top gear at any time. Quite simply, they dumped all attacking responsibility into the lap of five-eighth Lockyer and, despite his best efforts to produce the winning plays, the predictability of this game plan aided Great Britain's defensive assignment.
The Kangaroos are capable of much better, and I suggest with this kick in the pants now firmly administered, they'll lift their game and go on to win this Tri-Nations series.
Take nothing away from Great Britain, though. It was their night. This match was a test of their credibility, and they delivered. They played with great passion and resolve and thoroughly deserved their success. Well done, lads!
It also helped their motivation that Australia treated them with such disrespect. Thurston should feel the same way, too. SMH

Neil Henry, Assistant Queensland Coach, Assistant NQ Cowboys Coach, 2007 Canberra Raiders Coach. The FOURTH ELEMENT in coaching Rugby League
By Bob Wood
ARL Level 2 Coach
There are four elements in coaching Rugby League: physical, technical, tactical, mental.
The proportion in which these elements are coached depends on the age group and experience of your team.
The old style of coaching focused heavily on the first element. This would involve long runs and heavy physical work, although you can still see many teams on suburban ovals being run into the ground.
The second element (technical) should be one of the main focuses for junior teams. This involves teaching the skills of the game such as tackling technique, passing and evasion.
The third element (tactical) generally comes into play in mods and international rules teams. This involves zone plays, defensive patterns and game plans.
However, most coaches only employ the first three elements ignoring the fourth (mental). Often this is because they don't know how to coach this element, and yet it is the most important of all the four elements.
The 'fourth element' should be coached from juniors through to NRL level. When I first started getting interested in coaching the mental skills of the game, I researched how mental skills were coached at the elite level of many sports.
All of them dealt with visualisation techniques, goal setting, techniques for focusing such as 'black box' techniques, and the use of medical professionals (including hypnotism).
All of this seemed out of reach for a junior team, although I did have some success with visualisation and goal setting.

Amateur hour runs out of time
Comment by Steve Mascord
THE clock on the amateur hour that is international rugby league had ticked down the full 60 minutes last night.
Nathan Fien's eligibility fiasco was a humiliation to all involved in the running of the Tri-Nations and a slap in the face to those people around the world who give up their time free of charge to promote and spread the game.
The Kiwis' coach, administrators and even their players have repeatedly referred to Fien's "grandmother" in interviews over the past month. Whoever came up with this rort has made liars of them all.
And if the NZRL really thought great-grandparents might be covered by the rule - and that beggars belief - they should have sought clarification before selecting him.
But how ridiculous is it that an athlete is allowed to play professional sport at an elite, international level on "his word", with no-one bothering to check?
The Rugby League International Federation is nothing more than development officer Tas Baitieri and a bunch of T-shirts whose full-time jobs are elsewhere.
It doesn't have an address or a phone number and there is no Tri-Nations tournament director.
Is it any wonder embarrassments like "Grannygate" occur when, quite literally, NO-ONE is running the show?
Every player from now on should be forced to provide birth certificates and, if necessary, their parents' and grandparents' birth certificates in order to represent their country.
Nathan Fien - who would have qualified for the Kiwis on residency next year anyway - may yet go down as an important figure in rugby league history.
He will hopefully be the man who forces the administrators to give international football the respect and diligence it deserves. Foxsport

Leeds likely lad could be another Schofield UNLIKE some Britain team-mates, five-eighth Danny McGuire is not in a rush to join the NRL. It has nothing to do with Australia, as a tanned McGuire makes clear while relaxing at the Lions' northern Sydney beaches hotel base for the Tri-Nations tournament -- it's just that McGuire is a Leeds boy through and through, a local kid made good.
"To be honest with you, I am really happy at Leeds and I am a Leeds lad," McGuire says, in a thick Yorkshire twang. "I have come through the system there and I have a few years left on my contract. When that happens, I would definitely say Australia is an option.

Sorry, Brian, your lot are average at best I WILL laugh at the next person who tries to tell me the English Super League is catching up to the standard of the NRL. Great Britain opened their Tri-Nations campaign with a defeat to New Zealand in Christchurch on Saturday night and I believe they'll go through this series without a victory. Two tries in the final 10 minutes brought respectability to the score, but they were never going to win.
After two straight losses to Australia, New Zealand opted for a grinding style of play to ensure their first success of the series. It was a physical encounter but the Kiwis handled their assignment comfortably. They had the game well in hand with a 16-point lead midway through the second half before their worrying habit of conceding late points reared its ugly head. This has to be a concern for coach Brian McClennan and he'll need to toughen their resolve at the back end of games, especially when they play Australia.
Great Britain are well off the pace in this competition. They might be capable of the occasional upset against Australia or New Zealand with the aid of a referee giving them plenty of latitude in front of 50,000 fans on a cold night in Manchester, but Great Britain and English club teams are always badly exposed when they visit this part of the world. They try hard, but have never adequately addressed the weaknesses shown in their football for the past three decades.SMH

Clock gives Brit coach a bad time That ugliest of sporting words - cheating - has entered the Tri-Nations arena. British coach Brian Noble is at the centre of a row which started when the British made justified complaints about the timekeeping at Jade Stadium during their loss to the Kiwis.
Events hit boiling point on the sideline after the game, when Noble at least implied to match controller Bryce Wakely that the errors were deliberate. Wakely said the British coach approached him after the final hooter and fumed: "This will be on your conscience for the rest of your life."
Wakely said Noble's words "really pissed me off at the time. I've got no doubt at all that he was implying I cheated".

Thugby league not way forward THE Tri-nations has become a gilt-edged invitation to on-field mayhem. The escalation of player violence in matches so far, and the accompanying lack of action from referees and judicial figures, suggests we're a play-the-ball or two away from an unchecked free-for-all.
Expectations from players and supporters are higher than that. The days of encouraging player violence are long gone. What some supporters applauded as fiery incidents, especially against Great Britain, are now antiquated and unprofessional. Foxsport Online

RLEFRUGBY LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL - GREECE 44 SERBIA 26 - Glyka Nera Football Club, Athens The first international played on Greek soil saw the hosts overcome a highly determined Serbia 44-26 in the nation's capital. Greece included eight local-based players in their line up, with many of them partaking in only their second ever 13-a-side game.
The Greek Titans, captained by Salford City Reds' new signing; prop Michael Korkidas, looked set for an easy afternoon when they led 8-0 after just five minutes thanks to tries from Craig Moustakas and Kosta Kouparitsas before the Serbians replied with a try to Russian-based prop-forward Zoran Pesic.

Wingham Park used to be a graveyard for visiting teams - now it's more like a graveyard.

But rugby league fever will hit Greymouth with the arrival of the Kiwis to take on a New Zealand Residents XIII on Saturday.

Noble stays positive Coach Brian Noble insisted Great Britain would be better prepared for next week's Gillette Tri-Nations tournament clash with Australia after making a losing start to their campaign.
New Zealand inflicted an 18-14 defeat on Noble's troops at Christchurch's Jade Stadium, and they now face a week of intense preparation for the Sydney match against Australia.
"There was a bit of rustiness in our execution but we've got to step it up next week - and I think we'll be more fluid then," said Noble.
"We didn't have any problems getting out of our own half - but we lacked a bit of patience. "But there are plenty of positives to take out of the game and we've got to stay in control of what we can control." RFLKiwis open Tri-Nations account New Zealand notched their first victory in this year's Tri-Nations tournament with a deserved 18-14 win over Great Britain at Jade Stadium in Christchurch this evening. After going down to Australia in their opening two encounters, the Kiwis finally posted a win over a disappointing Lions side clearly lacking cohesion. Yahoo Sport

GREAT BRITAIN COMMUNITY LIONS NAME SQUAD FOR HISTORIC ENCOUNTER Three branches of the Rugby League family are represented in the Great Britain Community Lions squad that leaves early next week to face France. Members of the Combined Services, the Student game and from British Amateur Rugby League Association clubs will join forces to cross the Channel and face the Tricolours in Lézignan on Wednesday, 1st November 2006 (kick off 3pm) Decisions Maketh The Defender
With John Dixon
"He can't tackle - he can tackle. He is a poor defender - he is a good defender."
Such comments are heard on the sidelines and in selection panel meetings throughout the year. Though tackling and defending are in many ways synonymous, good coaches know teams and individuals need coaching to be able to do both.
RLCM talked to John Dixon, Wales Celtic coach and ex Broncos' Juniors Coordinator and Colts' Coach.
Continued from Wednesday 25th October 2006
However even within a rigid defensive pattern there can and should be allowances for players to make decisions 'outside the box'.
Within a team structure a player should be able to say, "I can read the play and I can make a decision that the place for me to be is right here, right now, as opposed to the team defensive system which may demand that I stay here and hold the line or push up."
Because he can read the play, in the situation that has arisen this good defender says the best thing to do now is break the pattern and make the tackle.
Players will make mistakes with this kind of decision but through analysis and practice they can and will make better decisions and thus become more effective defenders.
RLCM: What drills would you use to have players work on to be a good defender?
DIXON: I don't think there is any magic with drills. It's technique and then the numbers game. It starts with one on one. Then it goes to two on one and two on one in small spaces and two on one in large spaces.
Then it goes two on two and three defenders on two attackers and so on. The drill is built up to try and get the players in different field positions under different scenarios and reacting defensively in those situations.
You also have to work with the size factor. The small player has to match up against the bigger player and the big players against the smaller more agile ones.
For the small player the challenge is to be effective when tackling the bigger players. The big player is not going to go around the small man but he has to be able to cope with the fact that his opponent is large and has to be able to tackle him with some dominance.
He has to be effective on him when he tackles. In some situations he can't just go in low around his legs when the ball carrier hits the line because there will be an offload or the quick play the ball.
But you don't hide that small player away. You work on his technique and his decision-making and you work hard on the troops around him to provide support.
We don't want to lose those smaller players. They are so valuable in our game because they ring alarm bells in defenders' minds, particularly the bigger forwards. That's the wonderful thing about our game.
You want those little blokes. What we have to do is find the strategy that is best for them - a strategy that allows him to contribute both in attack and defence.
It is not just the small player you have to work with. There is a flip side to the coin. You have the big player who is strong, carries the ball well but is poor laterally in the defensive line.
He is as equally a problem as the small player and requires equal amounts of coaching to overcome his shortfalls. They tend not to be found out as often because generally they've got more troops around them.
But at the back end of both the first and second half of the game, players around him have to be alert when he is lined up against the smaller, spontaneous attacker.
His lateral movement may not be good and the smaller player poses a real threat.
So RLCM's advice to all players:
To be a good defender, you not only need good tackling technique but attitude, communication and, above all, good decision-making.

Great Britain prop Adrian Morley has encouraged the emerging stars of the Lions' Tri-Nations squad to follow his lead and play in Australia.
Morley, who will play his first match since July 22 against New Zealand on Saturday night after serving a seven-game ban for kneeing Bulldogs hooker Corey Hughes that ended his Sydney Roosters career, believes that not only would the likes of Danny McGuire and Gareth Hock benefit from playing in the NRL - so too would the British Test team.
With Morley returning to England to join Warrington on a huge four-year deal and the Roosters having released former St Helens forward Mark Edmondson, the only British players in the NRL next season will be the Gold Coast pair of Brian Carney and Richie Mather - although South Sydney are confident of luring Hull centre Kirk Yeaman in 2008.
Yeaman missed out on the 19-man squad to be named today for the opening Test of Great Britain's Tri-Nations campaign in Christchurch but Rabbitohs chief executive Shane Richardson believes he would be a hit in Australia and opened discussions with the 23-year-old while in England recently for the Super League grand final.
McGuire, Hock and fellow Wigan back-rower Sean O'Loughlin, and the St Helens trio of John Wilkin, James Graham and James Roby are other players considered likely to be successful in the NRL.
"Danny McGuire has been one of the best five-eighths in England for the last couple of years, he has played international football before but he's never obviously played in Australia. He's a real talent and young Gareth Hock is very aggressive and certainly one for the future," Morley said yesterday when asked to nominate Lions players to watch out for.
"I can't say a bad word about Australia. I've loved every minute of it and if I can encourage the boys to do it I think it will benefit them individually and it will benefit the national side."
McGuire will wear the No.6 jersey against a Kiwis side with four changes from the line-up that lost to Australia, with Great Britain coach Brian Noble opting to break up the St Helens scrumbase combination of halfback Sean Long and Leon Pryce, who has been chosen on the wing.
O'Loughlin, captain Jamie Peacock and his Leeds teammate Gareth Ellis, Morley, tough Wigan hooker Terry Newton and prop Stuart Fielden make up the pack, while Hock, halfback/hooker Roby, Hull prop Gareth Carvell and St Helens second-rower Lee Gilmour are on the interchange bench and Wilkin is 18th man.

Decisions Maketh The Defender
With John Dixon
"He can't tackle - he can tackle. He is a poor defender - he is a good defender."
Such comments are heard on the sidelines and in selection panel meetings throughout the year. Though tackling and defending are in many ways synonymous, good coaches know teams and individuals need coaching to be able to do both.
RLCM talked to John Dixon, Wales Celtic Crusaders coach and ex Broncos' Juniors Coordinator and Colts' Coach.
Continued from Tuesday 24th October 2006
A player, playing in the centres, should wait until they kick or shift the ball.
He could be faced with the situation where he has attackers coming down his side and he doesn't have the wingman outside him because he has retreated down field for the kick.
That's where the good defenders, whatever the situation, come up with good answers. The fact that they can tackle doesn't necessarily enable them to come up with the answers.
It is the decision-making that counts.
Even the kind of tackle can be a vital decision. Do you tackle high through the ball or low around the legs? Often a player goes high and gets pushed off.
In most of these instances, the player should have gone in low and completed the tackle. However, in another situation going in high may have been the right decision because at that point in time a high tackle would have stopped the ball and the offload.
In a game recently, I saw a try scored because both players tackled low on the same ball- carrier. Both players made a good tackle in terms of low-tackling technique but the tackle didn't shut the ball down.
The offload came and a try was scored. The technique for a low tackle was right but the decision by both players to tackle low, instead of one tackling through the ball, was wrong.
This is where your video analysis can be used. You have a look at that situation with the player/s and discuss what they did, why they did it and what could have been done differently.
The players can see the vision, talk through the decision they made and hopefully be better for it in the future.
In defence, everybody should understand their role in the line and how the responsibilities of that role respond to varying situations.

RLCM talked to John Dixon, Wales Celtic Crusaders coach and ex Broncos' Juniors Coordinator and Colts' Coach.
Continued from Friday 20th
Sometimes the decisions will be reactive ones in terms of the line is broken, so how do we react and how do we respond to cover the breach?
Sometimes they might be pro-active.
This now is the situation where we can gain ascendancy when they've got the ball because we can get up, make a tackle, dominate the tackle and jam them into their own defensive corner.
RLCM: You mentioned different areas of the field. What are some of the decision-making situations there?
DIXON: You might be defending your own line, or have the opposition pinned on their line. There are different decisions to be made.
When you defend on your line, the best place to defend is off your line. You need to push off the line and get out there and take their time and space and reduce their potency by getting amongst them as quickly as you can. Their mindset is that they've got the yards behind them so now they've got depth and width.
Defensive decisions here have to be good because there is no margin for error.
When you have the opposition coming out of their own quarter, their thought processes are primarily about ball retention, momentum and the kick on the last play. A fast moving defensive line can exert real pressure here. There are still decisions to be made.
Your side does have room to compensate if there is a defensive error but down on the opposition's line you are probably talking about attacking defence.
Really, you are trying to attack the ball with your defence.
Different decisions are being made when compared to defending your own line. The aim is to be as aggressive and as dominating as you can.
This has to be done along with the decision not to do something that draws the penalty and allows the opposition a soft get out. Situations arise all over the park.
Take defending a last play in the middle of the field. The team may have a player designated to harass the kicker.
The rest of the defensive line is faced with a decision when to pull back off the footy because they need to get back for the kick return.

OK, Willie - it's time to put up or shut up
By Graham Lowe
Big Willie Mason should pay attention to the philosophy of another Australian front row hard man when he fronts against the Kiwis in Melbourne tomorrow.
Ian Roberts was one of the toughest I ever coached and a great bloke. He's also the only player I've coached that came out and said he was gay. He had a trademark stare of hostility that made my blood run cold - and even disturbed some of our own players. NZ Herald RFL optimistic over Wembley final Rugby Football League bosses are confident that the 2007 Challenge Cup final will be held at the new Wembley.

BBC Sport Online Now it's 'Skippy' doing the haka: Geyer Outspoken former Test forward Mark Geyer has rubbished Nathan Fien's selection in the New Zealand team, saying it cheapens the Kiwi jumper and makes a mockery of the international game. In a vitriolic attack, Geyer said Fien would be far down the pecking order for Australia and encouraged the Kangaroos to turn their backs on him during the haka. He said the guidelines needed to be tightened for international selection. "He's as country as Slim Dusty," Geyer said. "It's disappointing to have a selection that has finally tipped the scales into the realms of basic stupidity.

Kiwi Bunnies plotting for Souths SOUTH Sydney's Kiwi Test contingent of David Kidwell, Roy Asotasi, Nigel Vagana and David Fa'alogo have nicknamed themselves the "chocolate Bunnies".

I thought I had him but he put on a little step at the end," said Mannering, 20, from the Kiwis' Melbourne hotel this week. Big steps are more Mannering's lot.

Decisions Maketh The Defender
With John Dixon
"He can't tackle - he can tackle. He is a poor defender - he is a good defender."
Such comments are heard on the sidelines and in selection panel meetings throughout the year. Though tackling and defending are in many ways synonymous, good coaches know teams and individuals need coaching to be able to do both.
RLCM talked to John Dixon, Wales Celtic coach and ex Broncos' Juniors Coordinator and Colts' Coach.
DIXON: Being a defender is a broad encompassing thing as opposed to just being a good tackler. The two are interwoven. To be able to defend, you have to be able to tackle.
One on one you have to be able to make the tackle. A big man has to be able to tackle a small man; a small man has to be able to tackle a big man. A slow man has to be able to close down on a nifty little player. These are just some of the combinations that make our game so much of a challenge.
Sometimes though, people can tackle but they are not necessarily good at defending. The two are not mutually exclusive, but one is a sub-set of the other.
To be a good defender, you must be able to tackle.
However, being able to tackle, isn't all that is needed to make you a good defender.
RLCM: So the player has mastered his tackling technique. What factors determine that he can be a good defender?
DIXON: Attitude is a key. The desire to make the tackle no matter what the circumstance. Things like decision-making come into it as well, in terms of the ability to turn up in the defensive zone and then make the right decision. This is linked to anticipation.
This is the ability of the defender to know the ball is going to arrive at that moment and know that it's a tackle he can make, or know the ball is going to arrive a moment too early and say I've got to hold off here and push on to the next player. Communicating with other players around and ahead of you is another factor so the key things are attitude, decision-making, anticipation and communication.
RLCM: How do you instil these skills into the good tackler to make him into a good defender? The player has a lot of decisions to make out there, so can you drill them on being a defender?
DIXON: It's innate in some people. It's like the good ball player. They see things and they've time and I think a good defender has got that innate ability as well. But no one is a closed book. At any level, we can ask that our players make good decisions so we should be able to drill and teach decision-making in a team system and have some success.
We can set up scenarios and ask, "Do you tackle this player or do you tackle that player? What are the cues and signals that say this is the player to take?"
You have to cover the whole gambit and there is a host of things in that. You've got to cover where the attackers physically outweigh your defensive players and where there is a numerical imbalance between attackers and defenders.
You have to teach young players how to defend off a scrum and how to do that effectively in different areas of the field.
There are hundreds of scenarios so you can't cover them all every time but you can and should work on players making good decisions in a variety of situations that are likely to come up in a game.

Taylor assembles players By Dean Ritchie
SOUTH Sydney reassembled at Erskineville Oval yesterday to begin preparing for the 2007 NRL season.
New coach Jason Taylor spoke with the players about his expectations for the coming season and his fitness requirements.
New buys Dean Widders, Daniel Irvine and Jeremy Smith were there but missing were David Kidwell, Roy Asotasi and Nigel Vagana because of Tri-Nations commitments.
Souths will start official on-field training on November 6.
"I spoke to them about how we'll look at things and what expectations we have of the players," Taylor said.
"The Souths players from this year and the players who came to us that didn't play in the finals, have had their mandatory six weeks off.
"We just wanted to let them know that they will now be available for (fitness) testing but it won't be that they have to come in every day.
"Today was really just doing a bit of housekeeping. We also introduced to the players some new staff."
Club co-owner Peter Holmes A Court and new physiotherapist Erroll Alcott attended yesterday's meeting.
"We are looking for professionalism - we will treat the players that way and they are comfortable with that," Taylor said.
Taylor arrives at Souths after his history-making season with Parramatta this year when he became the first caretaker coach in rugby league history to guide a team into the finals.
"I'm really excited about coming to Souths," Taylor said.
"Things are happening here - the joint is going forward.
"I've been given the support I need so that means I can rip in and do the job."

Read more SMH Tri-Nations warm-up key - Morley Prop Adrian Morley insists Great Britain's match against a Newcastle Select XIII on Friday is vital to their Tri-Nations preparation. The Lions open their Tri-Nations campaign against New Zealand in Christchurch on 28 October.
"It's really important that we have a real solid hit-up and get the combinations working," said Morley.
"Newcastle will come out firing. For some, it's a once in a life-time chance to play a touring international side."
Few names in the Newcastle side will be recognisable to the Lions players, but Morley said this could actually make for a tougher encounter.
"It probably makes it harder," said Morley, who will join Warrington from the Sydney Roosters next season and is suspended for Friday's match.
"Even the best players in the world, if you can watch footage of them, you can get a better understanding of how they play.
"With unknown players, you don't know what they're going to do - they could be a handful."
The Great Britain side will be made up almost exclusively of the players already in Australia who were not involved in the Super League Grand Final.
Morley predicted: "I don't think they'll figure too much - if they do, a couple of them might be on the bench and just get 20 minutes."
With a number of debutants in the Lions squad, three uncapped players will be on show against the Newcastle side as they attempt to lay claim to a Test spot.
Huddersfield winger Martin Aspinwall, second-rower Gareth Hock and prop Andy Coley will get a chance to impress coach Brian Noble.
And the coach will also be looking at the form of some of his more experienced players such as Newcastle Knights winger Brian Carney, prop Stuart Fielden and Jamie Peacock.

Jonah Lomu decision not about money
By Pat McLeod
IF Jonah Lomu comes to the Gold Coast to play rugby league it will not be for the money but for the love of the game.
The rugby union giant has always let his football exploits do the talking but after being hobbled by years of ill-health and injuries, yesterday it was his wife and manager Fiona who spoke up.
Fiona Lomu said her husband's motivation to play rugby league was based on his passion for sport.
"The guy has achieved amazing things in his career and has nothing to prove," she said.
"He just loves the game and loves to play. He says that is the reason he plays, because he loves it, not for any other reason.
"You don't play it to prove anything, or for the money or for the people.
"He just loves the game."
Facing the biggest decision of his life, a swap from rugby union to rugby league, possibly to the Gold Coast Titans, Lomu was quiet, almost shy, after being wooed all day by the Coast club.
"I am really happy to be here. A decision is still a huge way off," was all he said.
The rugby icon wasn't being difficult, just humble.
Fiona stepped up to the plate.
"Today was just about coming and having a look and to get a feel for the Gold Coast," she said.
"We were a little worried when we first arrived because it looked more like the Grey Coast but now the sun has come out and it is beautiful, really lovely."
During the Titans' five-year run into a position in the National Rugby League, the club's managing director Michael Searle has butted heads with plenty of sharp lawyers and player agents.
Yesterday, he faced a softly spoken sporting giant and his attractive wife.
Fiona was obviously impressed.
"The Titans are a great bunch of guys, very professional," she said.
"They seem to be very committed to setting up a strong club in every aspect. They seem to be doing all the right things."
Fiona said both she and her husband were 'happy with the day', but a decision on the 73-Test veteran's future would not be rushed.
"There certainly won't be any decision made today, there has not been any offers put on the table," she said.
"We certainly won't be rushed into anything. We are considering a number of options and we will make a decision when we are ready but we are talking a few weeks rather than the next 24 hours.
"Jonah has a degree of interest in league. I couldn't say what the chances are of us living on the Gold Coast next year but it is a viable option."
Lomu still has the physical aura of the man that dominated world rugby with his powerhouse running for the All Blacks through the 1990s.
Outwardly there appear no signs of the serious illness that curtailed the career of the first rugby superstar of the professional era.
At the end of 1996, Lomu was diagnosed as having nephrotic syndrome, a rare and serious kidney disorder.
He had a kidney transplant in July, 2004.
Lomu returned to the playing field in 2005, but has since had serious shoulder and ankle injuries and was unable to attract a Super 14 contract for 2007.
Yesterday, Fiona said her husband's fitness was 'great'.
"If there was a game on now and he was available he would be out there," she said.
AUSTRALIAN prop Willie Mason is in doubt for Saturday's return Tri-Nations bout against New Zealand on Saturday after pulling out of training yesterday with bleeding from the nose and a severe headache.
Mason was named yesterday in coach Ricky Stuart's side for the Telstra Dome grudge match after scans cleared him of a crack to the right eye socket.
However, the Bulldogs giant has been suffering migraines and dizziness this week in the wake of his much-publicised collision with Kiwi forward David Kidwell.
"Basically he's had a whack in the head and today at training he suffered bleeding from the nostril which is not that surprising," team doctor Hugh Hazard said.
"It's like anything, it will be a matter of observation over the next few days. If it doesn't settle down, he won't play."
The drama compounds a week of tension following the Australians' bruising first-up win.
Hazard was called from a sideline conversation to attend to Mason 20 minutes from the end of a long, physical training run.
After conferring with the doctor, Mason sat out the rest of the session alongside fellow props Mark O'Meley and Petero Civoniceva who trained separately because of niggling injuries.
As Mason fought to be fit for the what is being billed as his square-up with Melbourne's Kidwell:
. Australia called up one player who had turned down the Kiwis, Anthony Tupou, for his debut on Saturday while another Kiwi conscientious objector, Antonio Kaufusi, joined the squad.
. The green-and-golds' coach held talks with referees boss Robert Finch about aspects of British referee Ashley Klein's style, including the 10m.
. Lock Reni Maitua, ruled out for the rest of the tournament with an ankle injury, hit out at Cairns-born NZ fullback Brent Webb for turning his back on Australia.
. Stuart said Mason would "keep his mouth shut" during the haka this week.
Team changes made by the Kangaroos involved Sydney Roosters' Tupou coming on to the bench, with reserve Andrew Ryan moving into the second row and Luke O'Donnell shunted to lock.

2007 World Club Challenge could be cancelled
The winners of Saturday's Super League Grand Final between St Helens and Hull would normally kick off next season with a challenge match against newly-crowned NRL champions Brisbane Broncos.
But the Broncos say they will give their international players an eight-week rest at the end of the Tri-Nations Series in late November, which casts doubt over the annual challenge match due to be held on the first weekend in February.
"It's uncertain at this stage," NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley told the Sydney Telegraph.
"You can understand the Broncos' position. We certainly don't want the game to be a farce."
Brisbane chief executive Bruno Cullen said his club's policy was to give every player six weeks off, assess their fitness and then grant them another two.
"If our players involved in the Tri-Nations get eight weeks off then that will take them right up to the week of the World Club Challenge," said Cullen.
The Challenge has been held in Britain ever since it was re-instated in the international calendar seven years ago and has been won by the Super League champions five times out of six.
There was a strong possibility of the Australian champions hosting the next event, but it may now be shelved.

THE selection of Jamie Lyon to represent Australia in the coming Tri-Nations series is a disgrace and the ARL should have stepped in to annul this decision.
I've nothing against Lyon - in fact, I'm a fan of his ability, and he could easily turn out to be the best player in this competition.

BARLA entertain a Manly Select Side part of the NRL's Manly Sea Eagles at Dewsbury Rams RLFC on Wednesday 11th October, 7.30pm kick off.
It will be the opening game of the Australian sides short tour who arrived here on Sunday and sure to be a fast physical between both sides. BARLA will be hoping to gain a notable victory over the Australian side that they last played at the famous Brookvale Oval in 2004 when they went down 22-10 in the opening game of their tour.
BARLA skipper who held the Skanska Cup aloft on Wednesday following a 40-16 win over The Army is ready for the clash and is hoping for good support at the game, " It will be a belter, I played in the game against Manly in Australia and like all Australian sides they will be tough.
"They will be jet lagged like BARLA were when we played over there so we will need to get them on the back foot and it will be a great game. Hopefully there will be a big crowd on at Dewsbury following our recent success.
"It is a small compact stadium with a good atmosphere and I'm sure that Thornhill Trojans supporters will be there supporting Craig Holmes, Scott Woodcock and I. But I would ask for supporters from clubs all over the country to come and give the lads your support and a BARLA win."
Unbeaten Manager Mick Turner is looking forward to the clash, " I'm am looking forward to playing Manly and the side will give there all against.
"We lost twenty two ten at the Brookvale Oval in 2004 and I thought they conned us a little bit over there. They played us when we still had jet lag and they ended up putting one or two first teamers in plus a few guests and turned us over in the end.
"I felt after that game that we could have beaten them if we had had time to settle in. This time they are in the same situation as us."
BARLA Chair Spen Allison, " I'm expecting a very exciting game, I'm fully aware of what Manly Sea Eagles have got to offer and I think the BARLA side will lift themselves to another level and have enough petrol in the tank to get a famous victory.
"There will be no motivation needed whatsoever because at the end of the day it's the old enemy, Great Britain v Australia. I'm not interested in the politics of the game about who calls themselves what, it's Great Britain v Australia and it will be a superb spectacle and anyone who doesn't attend will be the losers on what could be a great and historic night for the amateur game.
" It will be Manly's first game which be an advantage to us but they will be well prepared. I know Phil Foster of old and I would like to say that Phil Foster is a personal friend and that he will have prepared his squad and will be ready for anything we throw at them. I feel; if we get our act together and we play to our full potential we could come out of this with a result
"I am hoping that anybody and everybody who has an interest in rugby league attends the Ram Stadium and give this talented BARLA team there full support in what will be an exciting and enthralling game"
BARLA Online Jye captains team
SINGLETON junior Jye Bayley has returned from a successful tour of Queensland with the NSW Country under 16 team. Jye had the honour of being selected to captain the team while on tour.
The tour began with a game against a Northern NSW / Gold Coast Titans Development team at Burleigh Heads, which the Country NSW boys won 28 points to 6.
The tour then moved to Kingaroy to prepare for the game against the fancied Queensland Academy Of Sport (QAS) team.
The game was played at nearby Nanango.
Although Jye was injured in the first half, he returned to the field at half time to take part in a memorable victory over the QAS boys.
The score was 20 points to 14.
Jye now takes part in the summer training squad with the Newcastle Knights SG Ball squad before visiting the AIS in Canberra later in October where he has been invited to trial.
If all goes well at the trial, a two year scholarship will be on offer from the AIS.
Jye had to perform consistently well in a number of representative matches to gain selection in the NSW Country team.
First he was picked as part of the Group 21 side that took part in the country championships in Coffs Harbour at the end of last month.
After starring in that tournament, he was picked to play for North NSW Country and went into camp on July 8, and then took on South Country on July 10.
After another strong performance, he was selected in the NSW Country side as hooker.
Jye's aim is to play in the NRL and after selection in the country team and making the Newcastle Knights train on side, it is a goal that is not out of reach.

An extract from RLCM Book 21
The Need for Innovators & Creativity in Rugby League
Written by Robert Rachow
With Dennis Ward & Don Oxenham
Sports coaching and freedom of thought can often appear as two mutually exclusive entities. After all, isn't coaching all about a sequential chain of popular teachings? A mentor passes on instructions to a variety of coaches, who then impart that same information on senior athletes, who in turn pass it onto the less experienced athletes.
Continued from last week..
Such is the changing face of League in regards to onfield rules and off-field business, that the hierarchy are frequently caught clinging to outdated ideologies.
This occurs at all Levels of the game.
For the benefit of League's progression, it is encouraged that all people involved approach decisions with a clean slate as opposed to bias or popular opinion. Understandably the hardest difficulty is not so much listening to new ideas, but removing the old ones.
After 40- 50 years, perception can be so deeply ingrained that it shackles you from seeing the benefits that others might so clearly see.
Quite often there is also a deep fear of failure or perhaps even a fear of courage.
This last statement may sound particularly puzzling, for indeed 'fear of courage' is a contradictory term, at least in the literary sense.
What it purports to is a characteristic well inbred in Australian culture - the reluctance to look like a lair, a smart ass, a show pony.
Few terms in the Aussie lexicon are more derogatory, for from a young age it is melded into children's psyche that upstaging others and doing things differently is anything but a badge of honour.
BREEDING CONFIDENCE IN RUGBY LEAGUE PLAYERS
It is argued there are six components that can be used to breed confidence - success, experience, responsibility, recognition, autonomy and status. All of these traits have avenues of implementation in Rugby League.
With success and experience, it is a matter of achieving a delicate balance to nurture the growth of the individual. A player must feel they are competent enough at a particular level before attempting to conquer the next one. This is applicable to fitness regimes, skill drills or even moving from one grade up to the next.
At the same time though, holding players back for too long can stunt their development and give them an obscured view of what expectations have been placed upon them. Essentially the aim is to create an environment that provides a fairly constant level of success with ongoing developmental experience.
Responsibility comes in many forms. It may be as obvious as making somebody captain or it could mean emphasising the importance of a certain position to the team.
For example, the coach could stress how integral the winger's kick return is to setting up the next attacking possession. Obviously this wouldn't be enforced to the point of being a burden, but just enough to give the player a sense of importance within the team.
Recognition also lends itself to various modes of use. Quite often a heartfelt acknowledgment in front of teammates or parents can mean as much to a player as receiving a trophy at the end-of-year presentations.
Factors such as timing, sincerity and personality of the player should all be taken into consideration to give the greatest impact.
One subtle way of encouraging confidence and, in turn, innovative play, is to have an unspoken rule of autonomy.
This could apply to the whole team or just to certain individuals within the side. If there is a talented player who makes those around him/her better, than a mutual understanding of free reign can benefit the whole team.
However stating this aloud could cause a number of problems. It may make teammates either resentful or overawed and it may also trigger the player to try things which aren't within their usual character.

LHF Healthplan National League 3 - Final Eliminator Hemel Stags 27 d Warrington Wizards 16 First will play second to start the Halliwell Jones triple-header in next weekend's National Three Grand Final after the Stags triumphed in a terrific clash. Two tries from Chris Heinke in the third quarter swung the game Hemel's way after the sides had been locked at 8-8 at half time, which means that the Stags will celebrate the end of their 25th continuous year of playing the code with the biggest game in their history. RFLGraham Lowe: Bennett laid a trap and it worked
The Broncos wound the clock back and blew the Storm out of the game.
There's been 100 different names for it since Aussie league legend Duncan Thompson came up with his "contract football" in the 1920s.
Thompson would get his forwards hitting the tackle, spinning and then support players coming through were under contract to take the ball off him, keep it alive and open up space out wide.
And if you asked Broncos coach Wayne Bennett after last night's grand final he'd be the first to acknowledge Thompson's contribution to the game plan.
Sure the offloads weren't there but it was that short passing game up the middle that pulled in the Melbourne defence and swung it for the Broncos.
It allowed Brisbane to get a roll on and took Melbourne away from what they've done all season.
That contract football style allowed Darren Lockyer to sit on the edges move the game around the park as he wanted to.
He hardly seemed involved at times but his presence was their to guide the final pass or kick and keep the Broncos rolling on.
And the Broncos defence was outstanding, they were on the rack a few times but didn't flinch.
It was a hugely disappointing game from the Storm.
Tactically they were just blown out of the water.
Man for man Melbourne have shown all season they are the better side.
But they fell into Bennett's trap last night and tried to take the Broncos on at their own game.
It just didn't work for them.
The Storm outsmarted themselves by playing dumb football.
They should have been running out of dummy-half and running the Broncos ragged.
The Broncos will look back at this one and wonder why Melbourne didn't drag them from sideline to sideline.
Player for player Brisbane should never have won, because the Storm had the better players. But Brisbane stuck to contract football.
It's dull to watch and gives the opposition an inflated ego of themselves.
They think, "Geez. we can do the same thing and try to take the Broncos on at their own game".
It won't go down as one of the great grand finals. But those who know the contract football system will sit back and smile. NZ Herald Bennett still the master Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett is still the master, with six grand final wins, after the Broncos overcame Melbourne 15-8 at Telstra Stadium. Lockyer's heroes embrace their victory THE Broncos hard man Shane Webcke was farewelled in the most glorious fashion, and coach Wayne Bennett picked up his sixth NRL premiership when the Brisbane Broncos beat the Melbourne Storm 15-8 in a controversial and historic grand final last night. Oh God, they've thrilled Kenny BRETT Kenny played in five grand finals in one of rugby league's toughest eras. But it had nothing on watching one from the sidelines as a coach. Second-half brilliance puts Bradford in reach of sixth title LONDON: New Zealand winger Lesley Vainikolo scored a breathtaking 90-metre solo try as Bradford beat Warrington 40-24 to move one match away from a sixth successive grand final appearance. Blair switch project: Storm forward a starter for New Zealand ROOKIE Storm forward Adam Blair is set to continue his rapid rise this season with selection in the New Zealand Tri-Nations squad. They came, they saw, they conquered parochialism SPORTS spectating thrives on finding someone to love, someone to hate. Last night was a case of settling for someone to admire. Lots of them in fact as the game's best and brightest rode in from out of town to stake their claim for the NRL premiership. No-try ruling leaves departing Hill with that empty feeling AN "empty" Scott Hill questioned a disallowed try to Melbourne team-ate Matt King that would have levelled the scores late in last night's grand final - but the biggest blow to the Storm was a Justin Hodges high shot that eventually forced skipper Cameron Smith from the field. Storm left battered as close calls swing in Broncos' favour IN THE end, the Storm were left feeling dazed and somewhat mistreated. With their captain wounded and apparently out-of-sorts after a high tackle from Justin Hodges, Melbourne suffered the further ignominy of a disallowed try to Matt King in the second half, a decision that tilted momentum firmly in Brisbane's favour. Coach hails sweetest win BRISBANE coach Wayne Bennett described last night's 15-8 defeat of Melbourne as "the sweetest" of the six grand finals he has won in his 19-season reign since the Broncos were founded. Medal for the quiet achiever IT'S almost a footballing truism that when Brisbane (or Queensland) win, Darren Lockyer is named man of the match. When his forwards win the struggle of yards and inches, the blond five-eighth always looks the part, directing bullocking runners into gaps and pegging the opposition deep down in the wrong end of the field. Hodges crows again JUSTIN Hodges probably didn't realise the irony of the comment, and he probably didn't care less. But still, here he is, one of the cockiest players in the game, at least previously, accusing the Storm of being "too cocky" in the lead-up to last night's grand final. Webcke top of the props BRISBANE front-rower Shane Webcke said he was privileged to end his career with a premiership ring as his teammates claimed he would be remembered as one of the greatest front-rowers ever. Broncos shine on centre stage ALL his career he had refused to let terror migrate to his muscles. A two-point game, 19 minutes left, give him the ball, writes Roy Masters.

Sporting Life Sixth triumph is the sweetest: Bennett Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett labelled Sunday night's grand final triumph the sweetest in the Broncos 19-year existence after retiring prop Shane Webcke was given the perfect send off with a spirited 15-8 win over NRL minor premiers Melbourne at Telstra Stadium. "I can say personally, and from a team point of view probably the sweetest one for the Broncos," said Bennett, who became the most successful coach in grand final history with his sixth win, all with the Broncos.

By Mike Colman
IN his best-selling book Don't Die With the Music In You, Wayne Bennett spoke of telling his players "don't stop three steps short".
None of them did last night as the Broncos pulled off one of the gutsiest of grand final wins, downing minor premiers Melbourne Storm 15-8 at Telstra Stadium in Sydney.
The "three steps" refers to players doing sprints at training. Bennett believes once they overcome the desire to pull up short on a training run, they will learn to go to the wire in a game.
And that is exactly what happened against the favourites from Melbourne.
"It was very gutsy, very courageous," he said after the match. "It was all about perseverance. It wasn't a flash game and we didn't let them play a flash game. We kept at them and kept at them."
Bennett rated the win - the Broncos sixth premiership from six grand final appearances - as the sweetest in the club's history.
There was the fact that all but the most dedicated Broncos fans had written the team off throughout the year. As Bennett said as recently as the finals loss to St George . . . "not too many thought they'd be seeing us again".
There was the fact that last night's win allowed one of the Broncos' greatest servants, Shane Webcke, to retire on the best possible note. "When you have a champion player and a champion person like Shane you do want him to go out like this but there are no guarantees," Bennett said.
There was the fact that it was yet another highlight in the remarkable season of Broncos, Queensland and Australian captain Darren Lockyer, who Bennett described as "much maligned".
When asked what he meant by that term, Bennett said: "Go back and read your stories. Sometimes I wonder if you blokes read what you write. You said he shouldn't be five-eighth, that he shouldn't be Queensland captain. The list goes on. It's only on nights like this that you all want to applaud him. Thank God he doesn't lose confidence because the best thing we had going for us tonight was that he was on the field for us."
There was the fact that the Broncos brought home another premiership for fans, many of who travelled to Sydney to cheer on their team.
"That was the best crowd we've ever had in Sydney," Bennett said. "The feeling when we walked around at the end was unbelievable. The ones who have supported us all year, the ones who came down here and stayed right until the end. We're as happy for them as we are for ourselves."
But best of all was the way the Broncos refused to give in, even when they were all but dead on their feet and Melbourne's backs looked like cutting loose.
"It wasn't until a minute to go that I believed we'd win the premiership," Bennett said. "It was a hell of a contest. It wasn't pretty but it was all about guys digging deep.
"They just had such belief. They kept the dream alive."
Courier MailGrand Final Heartbreak for Newtown Jets The Newtown Jets have retained their unenviable record of not having won a major NSW Rugby League finals match since 1943, having lost 20-19 to Parramatta in extra time in the 2006 VB Premier League Grand Final at Telstra Stadium on Sunday. The Jets led 18-16 at half-time and neither side scored a try in the tense second half. Newtown missed three field goal attempts in Golden Point extra time but the Eels grabbed the premiership with a sweetly-taken field goal eight minutes into extra time, after the teams had been tied up at 19-all after eighty minutes of play.

It is now six wins from six grand finals for Brisbane, all with him as coach. The apprentice, Melbourne coach and former Broncos assistant Craig Bellamy, remains so. Retiring Broncos prop Shane Webcke got the fairytale farewell and Brisbane captain Darren Lockyer dominated, in typical style.
Broncos down Storm for sixth premiership The Brisbane Broncos maintained their perfect grand final record to defeat Melbourne 15-8 in tonight's NRL decider at Sydney's Olympic stadium and claim the club's sixth premiership. After leading 8-4 at half-time, the Broncos went on with the job in the second stanza, scoring a try through Brent Tate before skipper Darren Lockyer put the result beyond doubt seven minutes from time with a field goal to extend the margin to seven points. Melbourne levelled the scores nine minutes into the second half with a four-pointer to Matt King, but could not score again as the Broncos sent out retiring club legend Shane Webcke a winner.
It is the club's sixth title, following grand final wins in 1992, 1993, 1997, 1998 and 2000.

Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett has revealed Melbourne's historic 1999 NRL grand final win changed his approach to coaching.
The Storm claimed its maiden premiership in its second year of existence in 1999, and did it without a recognised five-eighth.
Pivot Scott Hill injured his shoulder midway through the season leaving Matt Geyer, who has spent the bulk of his 214 first grade games on the wing, to take over at No.6 and partner playmaker Brett Kimmorley in the halves.
Bennett, who has won five premierships with the Broncos and has not lost a grand final in his 19 years with the club, admitted he had previously thought teams needed both a champion No.6 and No.7 to win a title.
But he said Melbourne's dramatic 20-18 win over St George Illawarra seven years ago changed that thinking.
"When Melbourne won in 1999 without a five-eighth in a grand final ... that just completely blew my mind," Bennett told the Austereo network ahead of Sunday's grand final against the Storm at Telstra Stadium.
"As a coach I always believed you had to have a top halfback and top five-eighth to win a title, after that I just made a decision you just get the best 17 players on the field and just see how they go from there.
"Positions aren't important as they used to be."
After having former Test stars Allan Langer and Kevin Walters in the halves for the Broncos' five previous grand finals, Bennett will throw unheralded 28-year-old No.7 Shane Perry, who started the season playing for Redcliffe in the Queensland Cup, into the biggest game of his career alongside Kangaroos pivot Darren Lockyer.
Hill will meanwhile front up for the Storm at six, playing alongside boom halfback Cooper Cronk with Geyer out on the wing.
Bennett, who also coached Canberra to the 1987 grand final before joining the Broncos, said making this year's premiership decider was perhaps more satisfying than those of previous years.
"This one probably does (mean) a little bit (more)," said Bennett, who made drastic changes to his coaching support staff at the end of last year, sacking Gary Belcher, Glenn Lazarus and Walters after another semi-finals fade-out.
"I've been under a fair bit of criticism over the past 12 to 18 months. The team has as well.
"Everything we kind of do has been criticised, so it's just nice to do what I spent 20-odd years doing, proving them wrong.
"I had a guy write to me earlier in the year, and I've still got the email at home, he just said `do what you've always done Wayne, prove them wrong'. And I've kind of kept it.
"It's meant a lot to me, this season." SMH Online

An extract from RLCM Book 21
The Need for Innovators & Creativity in Rugby League
Written by Robert Rachow
With Dennis Ward & Don Oxenham
Sports coaching and freedom of thought can often appear as two mutually exclusive entities. After all, isn't coaching all about a sequential chain of popular teachings? A mentor passes on instructions to a variety of coaches, who then impart that same information on senior athletes, who in turn pass it onto the less experienced athletes.
Continued from last week..
Another view is that creativity, besides its on-field benefits, also holds tangible goodwill in terms of luring juniors and supporters to the grassroots levels. Essentially each and every coach is a salesperson for the game.
Thinking coaches will inevitably attract more interest than following coaches, because their dynamism and ingenuity is vastly appealing.
Players like to have a sense of individualism and it creates a sense of synergy if they see their coach employing the same attitude.
There is an old axiom that says the goal of a coach is to make themself obsolete.
What this means is that if a coach imparts his philosophies with sufficient mastery, the players will mould together in a manner that removes the need for external supervision.
It is a somewhat Utopian concept, yet it presents an interesting model - the prevalence of widely innovative children who have been attracted to and succeeded peerlessly in Rugby League, because of the guidance of coaches stressing freedom of thought.
WHAT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM BEING CREATIVE?
Naturally if innovation were so easy, it would not be such a special quality. As was stated before, society has bred generations of people with their lives mapped out from an early age.
Changing direction on this path can commonly cause heartbreak and both physical and mental pain before any rewards are met.
Not only is it the innovator who is effected either. There will be people close to the innovator whose lifestyles and concepts will resist change and favour familiarity.
Then there will be people at the other end of the spectrum that stand to lose some form of standing as a result of innovation and will oppose it forcibly.
So more often than not, potential innovators will choose to stick with convention out of respect to those close to them and fear of those that oppose them.
Common theory estimates that 99 per cent of ideas in everyday life are rejected. It is an alarmingly high statistic, but when you look at those who hold power in society, this figure is explanatory. Those at the top of the ladder have arrived there through strategies or concepts that are almost half a century old.
While adaptability is a key to them remaining successful, most of their basic ideals will be ingrained from their formative years. If we were to parallel this to Rugby League, club administration would be the most obvious example.
To be continued....

Factors for the final - Wayne Bennett
Grand final week; the fans love it, the media laps it up and the contestants look back on the 11 months of blood sweat and tears that got them here and say it's not over until it's over.
It's like one of those survivor-type TV shows where you start with a big group and gradually whittle it down until there are two left . . . then one. Only it's a lot tougher and a heck of a lot more interesting.
The NRL these days is, as one of my players said this week, a 30-week war of attrition. Just getting to where the Broncos and Storm are now has been the hard part. There are 13 other clubs that started out on the same journey and didn't arrive at the same place. It's that sort of ride.
So what is grand final week about for the Broncos? Well, it's like this:
MOTIVATION
A friend asked me this week whether I was going to get someone, a former player probably, to talk to the team before the grand final.
I laughed and said: What for? If the team needs someone to motivate them for a grand final, I'm coaching the wrong group of guys.
Honestly, if a grand final doesn't make you want to go out and do your best, what has the past 11 months been about? Just how "up" do you have to be?
SHANE WEBCKE
We - the team, the club, the coach and Shane - decided very early on this year that it wasn't going to be about Shane this year. And it still isn't and it can't be.
Much as we love the guy, we can't go out there to do it for Shane.
I remember a few years ago in the AFL when a team went into a grand final to do it for some guy who was retiring. They got smashed. And weren't the Sharks going to do it for Steve Rogers this year. Hmm.
That sort of stuff sounds good but it means nothing. If you can't go into a grand final to do it for yourself, you shouldn't be there.
That's why the whole Shane Webcke thing has never been discussed in our group. And he wouldn't have had it any other way.
EXPERIENCE
Another non-issue that is a lot more important to people outside the two teams than it ever was to the teams themselves.
We had never played in a grand final when we went into the 1992 decider and it didn't worry us. It didn't have much effect last year, either. The Wests Tigers were hardly finals regulars, were they?
These days all teams play a lot of "big" games. Just about every week, in fact. That's the NRL - you play with and against the best week-in, week-out. In the past, when the talent wasn't so evenly spread, the big game thing might have been a factor but not now.
PRESSURE
Players don't get all starry-eyed in the full glare of publicity of grand final week any more; there's just too much publicity right through the year for it to be a big deal. The grand final isn't the only big game these guys play in a year any more. A lot of them have played Origin football or for Australia and as full-time professionals they know all about living in the fishbowl.
Under the final eight system everyone has to play two grand finals in a row, or, in our case, three in a row because it's make-or-break football after week one of the finals so these players are used to playing under that pressure.
STORM
It's fair to say we're probably more ad lib than they are. They are more structured in what they do and everyone knows it but we can't plan for that - a team can't have Cameron Smith, Greg Inglis and Billy Slater in it and not be capable of something unplanned.
No team in the competition wins the ruck wrestle better than Storm. Being in control of a defensive set really gives it the platform to launch its attack from.
The last three games we've played against Storm have been decided by six points so there obviously isn't much between us - and I don't expect Sunday to be any different.
THE DAY
There was a famous movie years ago called The Longest Day. That's what Sunday is for both teams.
A night grand final means a lot of waiting and the hardest part is managing that waiting. You have to try to be sure when you get to 7pm that everyone is there ready to play, not ready to switch off for the day.
The day drags but it's the same for both sides.
We'll know by 9pm who handled it better.
Broncos coach Wayne Bennett writes in The Courier Mail every Saturday.
No second miracle BRONCOS skipper Darren Lockyer has warned his players they cannot expect another miracle escape if they allow Melbourne Storm to establish a big early lead in tomorrow night's NRL grand final at Telstra Stadium. No rest for Webcke IT might have been a rest day for the Brisbane Broncos yesterday, but it was business as usual for Shane Webcke.

Champion league coach Jack Gibson in hospital By Peter Kogoy - Legendary rugby league coach Jack Gibson, one of only three men in nearly 100 years of rugby league to have coached teams to five premierships, is battling a serious illness. Gibson, 77, has been confined to a Sydney nursing home suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia requiring around-the-clock care. "Jack's illnesses are a very cruel complaint," said Ron Coote, a member of a Gibson-coached Eastern Suburbs team that won back-to-back premierships in 1974 and 1975. Gibson went on to win three more titles while in charge of Parramatta from 1981 through 1983, before moving on to take control of Cronulla and the NSW State of Origin side.
