Titans cut playmaker Brad Davis to land Bird
Luke Turgeon, GC Bulletin: The Gold Coast Titans have cut playmaker Brad Davis loose for next season in what could be seen as a move to free up funds for the arrival of controversial former Cronulla Sharks pivot Greg Bird. The Titans have made no secret of the fact they want Bird on their books for 2010, pending a favourable outcome when he fronts the NSW District Court today and tomorrow to learn the fate of his appeal against an eight-month jail sentence for recklessly wounding girlfriend Katie Milligan.

No need to panic, says confident Gallop
Brad Walter, SMH: NRL chief executive David Gallop has urged those involved in the game to have more confidence about the code's ability to combat the AFL's push into western Sydney. Gallop has been repeatedly called on to provide a response to the AFL's expansion plans since this month's announcement that Kevin Sheedy would coach the competition's 18th team but his view is that league is in good shape - both in western Sydney and overall.

Brad Fittler in short list for Roosters Hall of Fame
By James Phelps, Courier Mail -Ex Sydney Roosters coach Brad Fittler is set to make a stunning return to Bondi Junction in 2010 - and in a position no one can ever take from him. Fittler heads a shortlist of club greats vying for the honour of becoming the inaugural entrant in a new Roosters Hall of Fame. While the exact details remain sketchy, we understand the club is keen to reinforce its proud history while moving forward from the annus horribilis that was 2009.


Huddersfield Giants have signed former Gateshead player Jamie Cording for 2010, initially on a part-time contract. The 20-year-old centre or back row forward will train full-time with the Giants over the next two months as he looks to clinch a permanent deal. "It's a massive opportunity that Huddersfield have given me and I intend to take it with both hands. I want to work hard in pre-season and hopefully prove that I'm worthy of a full-time contract," he said.

Barry Berrigan bonanza for Gympie
Steve Zemek, SC Daily: Gympie has landed a huge deal, signing Barry Berrigan for next season. The bright lights of the Brisbane Broncos might be a world away from the hard slog of the Gympie Devils but that's a transition former NRL star Barry Berrigan is just going to have to make. The Gympie Devils last week pulled off a recruitment coup, signing the 34-year-old former Broncos and Bulldogs hooker for next year's Caloundra RSL Cup. Berrigan's 56-game NRL career was brought to an abrupt end in 2006 after succumbing to a recurring back problem.

Clinton Toopi targets Titans deal By Andrew Alderson, NZ Herald: Clinton Toopi is leaving rugby to join NRL club the Gold Coast Titans for pre-season training on January 4, with a season-long contract in prospect. The 29-year-old is seen as an option out wide due to his size, power and safety under the high ball. Toopi's also touted as a possible mentor for younger members of the backline such as Kevin Gordon, David Mead, Esi Tonga and Joseph Tomane with experienced centre Chris Walker heading to the UK Super League. Coach John Cartwright says provided his fitness holds, Toopi's input will be invaluable.

.....game funnels down to concepts of space. And more specifically, how one successfully recognises and reacts to the spaces around them. Spaces can be opened up, they can be closed, they can be maintained and they can be created," Waite explains.  "Even when I was a little kid coaches used to say: 'Run at spaces, not faces'. But how many coaches and players actually apply that? "Every time the ball is in hand it has an affect on the spaces which present themselves on the field.

"If young players were taught to run at gaps and create gaps at an early age, the game would be in much better shape across the board."

Spaces do not necessarily relate to the attacking side though. Possessing an awareness of space is just as much a key ingredient for a defensive player.

When you talk space you could be referring to the distance between defenders, the distance between the attacking and defending sides, the distance on the outside of the winger, the distances involved when a ball is kicked into space. The applications are virtually limitless.

All this is without considering the variables when space is analysed against time. For example, how does the concept of 'space' vary when similar distances are involved but with players of differing speed and agility?

A five metre gap between a defender and the teammate to their left may be significantly greater or smaller than the five metres to the person on their right, depending on the reaction time, favoured shoulder and footwork of the two people.

At the elite level, spaces commonly exist for a mere fraction of a second, before they disappear and an opportunity is lost.

Rugby league is in every essence a classic drama of the quick and the dead.

Hence why Waite so highly values the ability to instantaneously recognise chances and seize them......

Looking only at the score, one would think that Australia won the game easily - not so.

The penalties to England during the first half gave them positive field position and kept the match interesting and close.  For about 60 minutes of the game this was a hard fought Test match with the score 22 to 16 in Australia's favour.

From that point on, Australia ran in 24 unanswered points from the 18 Sets [Eng 7 sets, Aust 11 sets] that remained to once again become the leading nation in the game.

To their credit, England did lift their game and showed that with more experience at this level they are possibly not all that far away from matching it with the more experienced big match Australian players.

England will learn from this series and realize the effort that is needed to become a force in the world competition.

The two young lads at half and five-eight will learn and be better players after the experience but as coach, Tony Smith, said after the game, "More halves of similar ilk are needed in the game in England to keep putting pressure on the existing players."

The big and strong Great Britain forwards showed they had aggression and ball playing skills but at times lacked the big game 'nous' in attack and ruck defence.

The England defence appeared good but they were unable contain Australia in their half of the field whereas Australia was able to control the speed of England's ruck and limit their forward movement.

During the first half, Australia was able to bring the ball back to or over the 50m mark for their kick on 10 of the 11 occasions after receiving the ball in their 'red zone'.

So, in saying the England defence was good, it might be more correct to say the England defence was good on plays one and two of the Set.  However, Australia were able work over the 'markers' and England's D was broken down as the Set continued thus not allowing England any extended ruck domination.

England did look good in attack when they were in the Australian half of the field, but the majority of time they only got down there with the help of a penalty.  They were unable to structure positive Sets of their own.  The Australian defence controlled their 'coming out' Sets and had them struggling to get to their 50m after receiving the ball in their 'red zone'.

It was a good game for the 31,042 fans to witness.  The scores were close for 60 minutes and gave England hope.  It was a thrilling game to watch up to that point.

But it also showed that England still has a way to go and needs a continuation of big match games to experience and learn from the pressure and structure of play that is needed to be competitive at the top level of the international game.
