NRL Club News with the SMH - Wednesday

By Steve Mascord

SOUTHS Rabbitohs prop Paul Stringer has been ruled out for the rest
of the year - but he's going to play against Melbourne on Saturday
night anyway. Stringer needs a shoulder reconstruction but he's
expected to take the field with the help of painkilling injections
and go under the knife next week. Jamie Russo replaces halfback Troy
Robinson.

BRISBANE The Broncos have named a full-strength side for Saturday
night's encounter with Manly, with Scott Prince again the 18th man.

BULLDOGS Dogs cult hero Willie Mason may be good enough to play for
Australia but he wasn't named in his club's starting side for the
game against North Queensland two days later.

CANBERRA Long-term casualty James Evans returns to first grade after
a 15-month break against Cronulla on Sunday. Evans was carried off
the field on a stretcher after being tackled into a goalpost against
Parramatta and underwent a knee reconstruction. He returned to
premier league five weeks ago. Jason Bulgarelli joins the back line
for the suspended Joel Monaghan (one week) and Ian Hindmarsh is back
from an ankle injury on the reserves list for Alan Tongue, who also
pleaded guilty to a dangerous throw yesterday and was banned for two
games.

CRONULLA The Sharks have again selected youngsters Dale Newton and
Keith Galloway for Sunday's game against Canberra - and they have
been joined by young front-rower Roy Friend, recruited this year from
Parramatta and named on the bench.

MANLY Luke Dorn is the replacement at halfback for Jason Ferris - out
for the season - when the Sea Eagles travel to Suncorp Stadium for
their match against Brisbane. Tony Jensen joins the bench, coach
Peter Sharp making minimal changes despite the heavy loss to the
Roosters last Sunday. Kevin McGuinness was cleared to play after
entering an early guilty plea to a dangerous throw charge.

MELBOURNE Second-rower Peter Robinson is back from an ankle injury
for Saturday night's game against South Sydney, making a 19-man
squad. Centre Steve Bell will be playing his 50th first grade game.

NEWCASTLE With fullback Robbie O'Davis (thumb) and winger Timana Tahu
(quadriceps) unavailable through injury, Mark Hughes and Craig Hall
join the Knights' starting side for Sunday's game against Wests
Tigers. The clubs have combined to launch a new trophy for matches
between them, named after the late Allan McMahon who played for
Balmain and was Newcastle's first coach.

NORTH QUEENSLAND Not so long ago on the bench for the Cowboys' feeder
team, hooker George Gatis is back in favour for Sunday's game against
the Bulldogs while David Myles has regained his starting place from
Shane Muspratt, who started at five-eighth last Saturday night.

PARRAMATTA The Eels are unchanged for Saturday night's game against
St George Illawarra.

PENRITH Fullback Rhys Wesser yesterday pleaded guilty to a high
tackle and escaped suspension.

ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA Dragons coach Nathan Brown has placed Ian
Donnelly and John Cross on stand-by for his Test stars, naming a 19-
man squad for Saturday night's trip to Parramatta Stadium.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS Halfback Brett Finch is back from a knee injury for
Sunday's encounter with Penrith while Chris Walker has been promoted
to a starting wing spot, supplanting Eric Grothe.

WESTS TIGERS Skipper Darren Senter is back from suspension and second-
rower Ben Galea returns from a shoulder injury for Sunday's
Campbelltown tussle with Newcastle.

Webcke ready for war

By PAUL KENT

SHANE Webcke reminds you a bit of the stock horse from Snowy River
country, the way he sniffs the battle with delight.

It was there to see yesterday when Ruben Wiki's comments were relayed
to him, Wiki saying that the Kiwis were going to "bash" the
Australians.

"I just love hearing that," Webcke said. "It's wonderful."

Around him people were afraid to smile in case he was serious.

Then they smiled because he was!

The only thing power steps down to is more power, and Webcke was
getting the message out that the Australians have the power game at
the ready, if need be.

Webcke has Luke Bailey alongside him and Petero Civoniceva coming off
the bench to assist. With Gorden Tallis behind them, the Aussies
sound ready to go nuclear.

If need be.

Even if they looked tired, which has been a concern and was the case
yesterday.

They did a morning session at Aussie Stadium and another again in the
afternoon at Cronulla, this one private, shortly before making a
store appearance at Caringbah.

The early session was split in two, with the left side offence
training on the paddock while the right side did weights, the two
sides later swapping.

Clearly the Australian players are being spread dangerously thin.
Friday's Test comes on the back of a State of Origin series and six
weeks of club football, one where there was plenty of ache.

It makes it difficult for coach Chris Anderson, trying to prepare the
team as best as possible while at the same time trying to freshen
stale legs.

It is certain that the New Zealanders believe the Australians are
vulnerable because of that, the Kiwis talking privately of their
delight and of the opportunity that has been presented to them: when
else have they got a one-off Test with the trophy at stake?

The Kiwis can already feel it, what with the momentum of New
Zealand's win over Australia in the world netball championships on
Monday and Saturday's coming Bledisloe Cup Test.

On top of this there has been the private conversations with the
Australians that has found them talking fondly of returning home and
sleeping under their own doonas after the week is over.

Most haven't spent more than a week, total, in their own bed since
late May.

But now it appears to be game on. Bash the Australians?

"It's always a big part of their game," said Webcke. "It's their
style of football."

Manly throws lifeline

MIKE GIBSON

LIKE a lot of rugby league supporters, I readily admit that I am not
a great fan of Manly.

This season they've been at it again, squabbling among themselves in
a power struggle that has been spiteful for those involved and
tedious for the rest of us who've had to keep reading about it.

Manly have the image of selfish silvertails, whose concern for self-
preservation is legendary. If the NRL ran a popularity contest, the
Sea Eagles would remain wooden spooners in perpetuity.

But, having said that, allow me to take off my hat to the club for
the way in which they have set about trying to resurrect the careers
of players who have been labelled "lost causes".

Blokes who have made mistakes. Footballers who have fallen off the
wagon. Players who have done the wrong thing, and have either paid or
are still paying the penalty.

The latest is Andrew Walker, whom Manly signed to a two-year contract
this week.

To say that Walker's problems have been well-documented is an
understatement.

On two occasions, he did a bunk when he was supposed to be in camp
with the Wallabies. On another, he was convicted of high-range drink-
driving. On yet another, the Brumbies dropped him after a late night
out in South Africa.

But Manly are prepared to give him a go. "I'm not concerned with what
has gone on in people's pasts," says the club's football manager
Peter Peters.

Anderson accentuates the positive

By Steve Mascord

Australia coach Chris Anderson has given his strongest indication yet
that he is on shaky ground at Cronulla.

The former premiership-winning boss and his club have denied any
tension in recent times despite a poor season which has seen them win
just five games in 17 starts.

But Anderson last night seemed to acknowledge there were problems
when he said: "I've got a job to do and I'd love to stay. I think the
club has a great future and even if I'm not there I think the place
would be in good shape. We're halfway through a rebuilding phase and
people can see from the young blokes we've brought through in recent
weeks that it's working."

Asked why he would talk in such terms when he had a year to run on
his contract, he said: "I don't want to go into that. I just want to
stay positive."

Wigan coach Stuart Raper has been linked to a return to the
Sutherland Shire club after announcing he is returning to Australia
at the end of the year.

But Anderson said he had had "no discussions" over the much-rumoured
coaching swap.

Penrith forward Joe Galuvao, meanwhile, earned lavish praise last
night when he was called up by New Zealand for Friday night's Test
against Anderson's Australians at Aussie Stadium.

Galuvao could not be contacted after getting his first New Zealand
cap following Ali Lauitiiti's suspension on a high tackle charge.

"In 20 years of administration, I have never met anyone more
deserving of representative selection than Joe Galuvao," Panthers
chief executive Shane Richardson said.

"Last year, he was playing for so little he was eating paint off the
walls."

A philosophical Lauitiiti, whose counsel claimed his tackle on
Cronulla's Paul Gallen was "trivial", told reporters at NRL
headquarters that such suspensions were "part of football".

But NZRL chairman Selwyn Pearson was more outspoken when contacted
last night, saying: "If he does something wrong in a club game, put
him out of a club game but don't taken a Test jersey off him.

"To rule someone out of a Test match for a minor thing like a grade
one careless high tackle - in my book, it's just not fair."

Beattie signs with Sharks


Cronulla prop Chris Beattie has agreed to a new one year deal with
the National Rugby League club.

Cronulla general manager Steve Rogers said the Sharks were delighted
Beattie would return next season, joining new signings Nigel Vagana,
Nathan Merritt and Andrew Lomu at the club.

"Obviously it's good to get it sorted out," Rogers said.

"He's backing himself signing a one year deal. We're happy to have
him back on board."

The 27-year-old Beattie has played 68 games for the Sharks, including
13 this season as well as three State of Origin games for Queensland.

He is currently sidelined with a back injury.

Kiwi Test set for Suncorp

Steve Ricketts

BRISBANE'S new Suncorp Stadium is set to be allocated next year's
Trans-Tasman Test with a crowd of only 30,000 tipped for Friday
night's Australia-New Zealand clash at Sydney's Aussie Stadium.

Brisbane could even get the green light as early as Sunday when rugby
league's International Federation meets on the Gold Coast to review
the Test calendar.

Friday night's Test does not stack up well against rugby union's
Bledisloe Cup clash at Telstra Stadium on Saturday night with that
game already an 83,500 sellout.

But there are four NRL matches in Sydney over the weekend with
Sunday's Penrith-Roosters match tipped to be a 23,000 sellout.

ARL chief executive Geoff Carr said the league had not wanted to play
its Test on the same weekend as the union, but it had little choice
with the representative calendar pushed back to accommodate two State
of Origin matches at Suncorp Stadium which was not ready for play
until June 1.

Carr said Brisbane was not considered for the Test because it would
have been a case of "rugby league overkill" with the Origin clashes
and then five Broncos home matches in eight weeks.

"Next year is a different matter because Brisbane has only one Origin
match and the Broncos home games will be evenly spaced," Carr
said. "Brisbane also has not had a Test since the 1999 Tri-series.

"We are confident of at least 30,000 at Aussie Stadium and whether we
get more depends a lot on whether the ground's 12,000 members turn
up."

Stadium membership at 52,500-capacity Suncorp is only about 2000 and
QRL managing director Ross Livermore said yesterday if the Test was
set in stone by the end of the season there could be incentives built
into Broncos season ticket packages.

Rookie may replace Lockyer

Andrew Dawson

BRONCOS rookie Nick Parfitt is favoured to play only his second NRL
first grade match on Saturday against Manly at Suncorp Stadium if
Test fullback Darren Lockyer withdraws.

Parfitt and Michael De Vere are the most likely candidates to cover
Lockyer, who is being urged to rest a persistent ankle complaint.

Tony Duggan, who made his debut against the Bulldogs two weeks ago,
would have been a contender but is unlikely to be considered because
of a facial injury.

Parfitt, who helped the Queensland under-19s down their NSW
counterparts last month, played his only first grade match last
season when the "Baby Broncos" beat Wests Tigers.

The benefit of playing Parfitt, a Maryborough product, is he is a
specialist fullback whose selection would provide minimal disruptions
to the three-quarter line.

The flipside is that De Vere is a seasoned campaigner who would cover
the position with ease.

De Vere is ready for the role if required, although he said he would
not be surprised if the No. 1 jumper was given to a rookie.

AUSSIE DUO EYE WIGAN JOB

By Ian Laybourn, PA Sport

Australians Peter Sharp and Andrew Farrar today expressed their
desire to succeed Stuart Raper as Wigan coach.

The Warriors, looking for a new coach after Raper announced his
intention to return home to Sydney at the end of the season, appear
certain to go for a high-profile appointment and Sharp and Farrar
both fit the bill and are available.

Sharp, who is leaving Manly at the end of the season, told the Wigan
Observer: "I am terribly interested in the Wigan job. It is one of
the best and most famous clubs in world rugby league and an
attractive proposition.

"Now that Stuart's announced he's leaving, I will be throwing my hat
in the ring."

Former St George Illawarra boss Farrar, who played for Wigan in 1993,
is equally keen and plans to make his interest known to chairman
Maurice Lindsay.

"I've not had any contact from Wigan but I would definitely be
interested," he said. "I will be making some contact with Maurice now
that Stuart has decided he's going home.

"I have very fond memories of my time at Wigan. I still keep in touch
with Phil Clarke while Craig Smith is a very good friend of mine."

Cronulla's Australian national coach Chris Anderson, a close friend
of Lindsay, and former Wigan captain Ellery Hanley are other names
being linked with the job.

But, if Wigan buck their recent trend and appoint from within, former
Great Britain loose forward Mike Gregory could become a strong
candidate.

"I want it and I'm ready," said Gregory, who combines his current
duties as Raper's assistant with that of Scotland coach. "I've spoken
to Stu about it and I've told him that I want to take over from him.

"I've been coaching for nine years and I've served my apprenticeship."

Lindsay, who has been forced to cancel plans to attend Friday's Trans-
Tasman Test in Sydney and Sunday's International Federation meeting
in Brisbane because of an ear infection, says no appointment is
planned in the immediate future.

Gatis grabs opportunity

By ADAM GARDINI

TOWNSVILLE product George Gatis said he didn't expect to play first
grade again this year before being named as Cowboys hooker for
Sunday's National Rugby League clash against the Bulldogs at Aussie
Stadium.

Gatis is set to make his return from the rugby league wilderness this
weekend after being promoted to the first grade line-up from the
Townsville and Districts Rugby League competition in place of Paul
Dezolt.

The 25-year-old Centrals junior played 23 games for the Cowboys over
the past two seasons but hadn't played first grade since breaking his
arm in the World Sevens in February this year.

Since returning to the field he had spent the majority of his time on
the bench for the Young Guns and for Centrals in the TDRL
competition, playing third string to Paul Dezolt and the injured
Leigh McWilliams.

The 25-year-old, who is still without a contract for next season,
said he hoped to make the most of the opportunity after what he
described as a "testing season" in 2003.

FINAL SWITCH CAN BENEFIT GAME

By Ian Laybourn, PA Sport

Clubs should be applauded for their decision to move the Challenge
Cup final from its ridiculously early spot in the rugby league
calendar.

Supporters will now be able to look forward to the possibility of an
August Bank Holiday weekend in Cardiff and London from 2005 onwards.

The move, adopted in principle, flies in the face of Tetley's Super
League backers BSkyB, who wanted to make it a condition of their
initial offer that the Cup final was not moved towards the end of the
season.

The clubs were complying with the wishes of the BBC, who are thought
to have offered £22million for the rights to both the Challenge
Cup
and international rugby for the next five years.

The only concern is that the momentous decision was taken at a
meeting of the 12 Super League clubs yet the Challenge Cup is the one
remaining competition in which all 32 clubs have an equal footing.

It was a sure indication of where the power continues to lie, despite
the appointment of an all-encompassing executive chairman.

Lauitit'iti out of Test

NEW Zealand suffered a massive blow tonight when strike forward Ali
Lauiti'iti was ruled out of Friday's Test against Australia after
copping a one-match suspension at the National Rugby League judiciary.

Lauiti'iti, 24, was swiftly found guilty of a grade one careless high
tackle on Cronulla second rower Paul Gallen at Toyota Park last
Saturday night.

His place in the New Zealand squad at Aussie Stadium on Friday night
will go to either Penrith's in-form Joe Galuvao or the Warriors'
Sione Faumuina, the two Test rookies who were placed on standby
yesterday when Lauiti'iti was first charged with his minor offence.

Despite Lauiti'iti manfully accepting his suspension, his ban was
certain to cause outrage on the other side of the Tasman.

Tonight's judiciary hearing was packed with New Zealand journalists
and radio and television crews, who were quick to rattle off an
impressive list of fellow Kiwis to have also been sidelined from
Tests against the world champion Kangaroos after losing out in
Australian judiciary rooms.

The most recent victim was Nathan Cayless, who missed last year's
Trans-Tasman Test in Wellington after also being suspended for a high
tackle.

Lauiti'iti was also rubbed out of a Sydney Test in 2000, while former
New Zealand captains Stephen Kearney and Dean Bell, along with
renowned hardman John Lomax, are others to have suffered the same
shattering fate in recent years.

During the hearing, Lauiti'iti maintained he was "positive" his arm
hadn't come into contact with Gallen's head or neck.

"He ran into the point of my shoulder and I just grabbed his jersey,"
Lauiti'iti said.

The league's 2002 second rower of the year also said he had the
support of Gallen.

"At the first break in play (after the penalty), he told me it was a
nothing tackle and to carry on with the game," Lauiti'iti said.

"I was just amazed that it was a high tackle. I felt like there was
nothing in it. It was pretty passive. I was stunned it was pulled up
as a high tackle."

Lauiti'iti's defence counsel Chris Jurd described Lauiti'iti's tackle
as innocuous and said the whole affair would be "trivial" if not so
serious.

"But obviously in the circumstances it is far from trivial," Jurd
said.

"Ali's done all he could to avoid coming into contact with the head
or neck of Gallen, who only comes up to Ali's shoulder.

"Ali didn't initiate the contact ... what we have here is something
that often happens in rugby league something that is a little bit
untidy, something a little bit ugly.

"But that doesn't mean it was wrong."

But judiciary commissioner Jim Hall begged to differ.

"I suggest the video evidence shows there was clearly unnecessary
forceful contact to the head or neck of player Gallen," Hall said.

Canberra pair plead guilty

Canberra duo Alan Tongue and Joel Monaghan will miss the National
Rugby League club's clash with Cronulla this weekend after pleading
guilty to dangerous throw charges.

Tongue was suspended for two weeks after entering an early guilty
plea to a grade two offence while Monaghan was outed for one week.

Manly centre Kevin McGuinness also pleaded guilty to a dangerous
throw but did not accrue enough penalty points to be suspended.

Penrith fullback Rhys Wesser pleaded guilty to a grade two careless
high tackle, but like McGuinness did not accrue enough penalty points
to miss any matches.

New Zealand forward Ali Lauiti'iti and Melbourne lock Dallas Johnson
will face the judiciary on Tuesday night on grade one careless high
tackle and grade one dangerous throw charges respectively.

Allan McMahon Shield honoured

The Newcastle Knights and Wests Tigers will honour former
international and First Grade coach, Allan McMahon, this Sunday when
they play for the inaugural Allan McMahon Shield at Campbelltown
Sports Stadium.

McMahon, who played 89 games for the Balmain Tigers during the 1970s
and 80's, as well as representing Australia and coached the Newcastle
Knights for the first four seasons of their existence, passed away in
May this year.

Both the Wests Tigers and the Knights agreed at the time, that
Allan's legacy to the game should be remembered.

Speaking today, Michael Hagan, who played and captained the Knights
under McMahon's coaching, said much of the Knights current success
could be attributed to their inaugural coach.

"Allan McMahon instilled in this place a set of standards that the
club has been able to build success upon," he said.

"With a tiny budget, he built a team of tough young men, who may not
have won many games, but who gave the club a very strong foundation."

"His passing probably served to highlight just how much we owe the
man and I think that the inauguration of the Allan McMahon Shield
will go some way to acknowledging that."

Also speaking today, Wests Tigers coach, Tim Sheens, who both played
and coached against McMahon, said it was fitting that this Sunday's
game pay tribute to him.

" He was a great competitor for Balmain and went on to be a great
coach, he laid the foundation for the success that Newcastle have
experienced,"

" It's great for both clubs to be involved in this initiative to
honour Allan," Sheens said.

The Allan McMahon Shield will be played for when the Wests Tigers and
Knights clash for the first time of each season.

This Sunday, Allans widow, Glenice, will make a presentation of the
Shield to the winning captain at the conclusion of the game.

Souths sign Manu for 2004

South Sydney has continued its build-up for next season by signing
Wests Tiger forward Willie Manu to a two-year National Rugby League
contract.

The 23-year-old Manu represented Tonga in the 2000 World Cup, but has
been in and out of first grade with the Tigers this season.

"Willie Manu is a great signing for South Sydney as we look to build
our playing strength for next season," Rabbitohs coach Paul Langmack
said.

"While only young, Willie is a proven first grade performer that will
add professionalism and aggression to the club.

"He's one of the most effective and damaging runners of the football
in the NRL, with the ability to break tackles and create second phase
play for his teammates.

"In defence, he'll add a lot of intimidation to the forward pack and
won't be afraid to muscle up on an opponent or put on a big hit when
needed.

"Willie's a very talented player with the right attitude. He's a very
welcome addition to the South Sydney Rabbitohs."
